October 27, 1920. Students' Column GET A VISION League or no League, we must face world problems from the Christian's standpoint. Four cf our students have caught the vision ox a sin-sick world, hungering for the Gospel and have dedicated their live.-! to missionary service. As these stu dent Volunteers launch their program of missionary education let us view the woi-ld situation as the Master does. We must stand upon the moun tain top and see the multitudes of humanity yearning for the message of Love and Life. Oqt of the bitter sti-ife of war there comes a challenge •to American students —a challenge to evangelize the world in this genera tion. 700 long years have we waited in obeying the Gx-eat Commission. Get a vision of world needs.—A Stu dent volunteer. High School Reminiscence We glided down the hillside, Without a fear of pain; While our joys were falling about us Like showers of April rain. We'd perched ourselves on a one-man sleigh— A board from a poplar tree, For she always said, "Where there's room for myself, There's plenty of room for thee." Now the poplar plank is broken And we have drifted apart, And that's left as a token Is, to each a distorted heart. But in my memory's painted— Wherever our feet may go, A vivid picture of schooldays Where we glided over the snow. —A Student. Some thoughts of a Rat. I watch a "soph" come down the hall, And in a whisper give a call. My heart was pounding loud and fast, But I had no idea of things so vast; For in my bed I found some salt, And yet with that'they did not halt; Another night I passed my door, And everything was on the floor. One night Miss Stuart rang the bell, When she said "collection" I said "well." I straightway went to fetch my money." As I offered it to her she just said. "Honey." What ever she meant by doing that way, I've never found out to this very day. I begin to gusss, I must be green, For, when I say things, they all just scream. I guess, some day to know their mode, Then I'll be pulling "rats" on to the code. '24. POLITICAL DISCUSSION (Continued from page 1) and sent up one long deep Ye-o-w-e. This non-partisan appeal threw the audience into such disorder that it came very near breaking up the dis cussion. Students from both parties spoke in favor of continuing the discussion next Friday night. At that time coun ty offices, candidates and issues will be discussed. ALUMNI NOTES The Alumni of Guilford will, no doubt, be interested to know that the prospects are that the year 1920-1921 will be the best in the history of the co.lege the enrollment is 227, which is, with the exceptance cf the year 1 1915, the largest on record. The Students enrolled are not all brilliant but they are, for the most part, reasonably hard workers. Several new subjects, including Violin, Physical Culture for the girls, Spanish, and Religious Education, have been introduced into the cur riculum. Each of these subjects is being taught by an efficient instruc tor whose name has already appeared in the Guilfordian. Taking everything into considera tion the faculty is the best the col lege has had since I entered as a preparatory student in the fall of 1908. I used to think that there were no other teachers who could quite equal some of mine, but there are those at Guilford now who, I feel are quite capable of occupying the place of some of my idols who have gone to other colleges. The members of the present faculty are not only well versed in the subjects they teach but they have attractive personalities. They are good movers and they have the profound respect of the students. I have heard very few words of adverse criticism from students dur ing the past six weeks. Instead I have heard words of praise and ad miration. The members of the present fac ulty are congenial. They work well together. Almost everyone seems to feel that it is his duty to do the things he is called upon to do, or that which he sees should be done. And this same faculty can get as much pleasure from an evening around a camp fire singing old-fashioned song and rounds as a group of high school students. With this strong faculty and with a president whose whole thought is on the upbuilding of the institution there is no limit to the amount of good Guilford can accomplish, if it has the proper financial support. The following excerpts from letters received from members of the Alum ni Association should be of interest. Miss Clara I. Cox 'o2—, "I quite approve of your plan to make the Alumni column an open forum of .iiteicst to all members of the Asso- c'a';ioa. Jus'; at present I believe I ktve only one suggestion. It occurs to me that it would be helpful to encourage the organization of Alumni groups in the various communities where found. There are quite a num ber of Guilford graduates here in High Point for instance and I believe it would be very advantageous for us •to have an informal organization, and have society meetings occasionally. Repox-ts of these meetings should of course appear in the Guilfordian. And then too, I feel that members of the various classes should keep in closer touch with one anothex\" We heartily endorse the suggestions offex-ed above and hope the matter of gx-oup ox-ganization may be put in effect at once. Much good can be accomplished and a greater Guilford spirit built up in the localities con ceited. E. J. Coltrane '07.—"1 note your request in. 'regard to suggestions for Alumni in the college paper. Personally, I have most interest in the "squibs" in the paper in regard to location and doings of the Alumni. Any little bit of information in ref erence to their work and achievments always interests me.

"I received, a few days ago, your letter addressed to Alumni, appealing for funds to support general athletics at Guilford. This is a matter I am always interested in and I believe strongly in the idea of all students engaging in some form of athletic activities. Am enclosing herewith check, etc." O. V.
