THE GUILFORDIAN VOLUME VII Home and School Club Gives Entertainment Unique Program Rendered by that Organization The faculty, students and commu nity people of Guilford College were entertained quite amusingly at Memo" rial hall on Friday evening, Feb. 11, by the members of the Woman's Home and School club The program was of an unusual type bringing much applause from the beginning to the end. The ladies appeared on the stage dressed in costumes of the typical High School Girl—short dresses, ribbons, bows, and frills. After they were seated in a semi-circle, an el derly lady, presumedly the mother of these jolly girls, told the story of their travels throughout the country. This was followed by songs, speeches, recitations, solos and duets. The songs were accompanied by \a rious musical instruments, imitative of a real orchestra. These instru-v ments varied from an ordinary hat rack (accordion) to a small tin bucket which served for a drum. Sev eral numbers were played by the instruments alone. Some of the songs were "Home Sweet Home" "Long, Long Ago," "Coming Through the Rye," "Yankee Doodle," and others quite familiar to every one. The entire program was one of laughter and fun, and one of the most enjoyable entertainments Guil ford people have experienced for some time. DR AND MRS. BINFORD ENTER TAIN FACULTY LITERARY CLUB.

COUNTY EDUCATORS MEETING Dr. Binford and Dr. Hobbs Attend Meeting in Greensboro Dr Hobbs and Dr. Binford attended the meeting of County Educators held in Greensboro, Tuesday morning, February 8. Superintendent Foust, who has been Superintendent of Public Instruction for Guilford Coun ty for several years, presided at this meeting. Beside the other work accomplished by this conference, the delegates voted to recommend a bill to be passed by the state legislat ure giving Guilford County an oppor tunity to vote on a county special tax. This form of tax is of great value to a county for under it all the schools in the county make equal progress. Also the County Superin tendent and the County Board of Education have the power to consoli date schools. At present there are only three counties in the state that have the county special tax. These are Wilson, Beaufort and New Han over. The bill for New Hanover also includes a County wide building plan. This point is recommended in the Guilford County bill. Superintendent Foust pronounced this meeting the most successful of its kind, that has bteen held during his term of office. The most curious thing in the world is a woman who is not curious. Old friends are like cheese—the strongest. The Crimson and Gray Team Wins One and Loses Two. GUILFORD AGAIN DEFEATS N. C.L STATE Loses To Wak? Forest and To Durham The Crimson and Gray baske + ban squad left Thursday morning for a three-day trip and returned with one victory and two defeats. On Thursday night they met the strong Wake Forest team and were defeated 42 to 14. The Quakers were outclassed both in speec* and in shooting. The game was not an interesting one, as the score indi cates, due to the superior work of the Wake Forest team. Along with the unusually slow work of the Quakers. The Old Gold and Black possess es two excellent forwards in Spring field and Greason. These men show ed a speed and accuracy in shooting that is not often seen on a basket ball court. Heckman, at guard, play ed his usual consistent game. Guilford showed no outstanding star in the contest. The forwards were covered by the Wake Forest guards and the Guilford guards seemed unable to stop the lightning like smoke of the opposing foi .tarda. Line Up Guilford Wake Forest J. W.

State Guilford met the N. C. State team in the Auditorium at Raleigh, Fri day night, and defeated them for the second time this season, despite the fact that State's team was ma terially strengthened by the return of Groome to center, while the Qua kers were weakened by the loss of Cox who was injured in the Lenoir game. The game was a fight from the beginning, although Guilford led in the scoring during the entire game. At the end of the first half the score stood 13 to 7. At the begin ning of the second half. State switched its line-up and started a rush which was immediately stopped by the Quaker guards; and in turn an offensive was started by Guilford, which quickly netted four field goals. The Techs unable to tie the score, rushed in fresh men in a last attempt to gain. These men, with a rush and with the aid of Guilford's fouling were able to run the score up to 18 while the Quakers ended the game with 25 points to their credit. For Guilford there was no single outstanding star. The scoring honors were about evenly divided between Frazfer and Lindley. The guarding was better than usual. For State Groome played the best game.

On Saturday night the Quakers met the gast Durham "Y" team and received the worst defeat of the sea son at the hands of the "triangle" men. Guilford's team was somewhat showed by the two previous games, while, according to supporters of the "Y", its team showed better form than at any other time of the season. The passing was supurb, the shoot ing was spectacular and the guard work was the best seen on the "Y" floor during the year. Guilford seemed powerless before this on slaught and at the end of the first half the score stood 33 to 0. But in the second half the line up for the crimson and gray was switched and they succeeded in scoring eighteen points. Of these J. G. Frazier shot four, J. W. Frazier two and Mcßane and Stout one each. Perry and Mangum for Durham played an excellent game. But to Cline, the fast guard, goes the credit for holding Guilford's goals to such a low number.
