THE GUILFORDIAN VOLUME VII CLAY-ZATASIAN RECITATION Zatasians Visit the Senate. Unique and interesting Program Given After looking forward for some time with pleasant anticipation to a grand and gloi'ious event when they should visit the Henry Clays, the members of the Zatasian Literary Society on the evening of May 13, 1921, were escorted into the Senate chamber. where they were allowed to sit through the first session of the senate of the sixty seventh Congress of th e United States. The Chaplain offered a brief prayer, after which Algie Newlin, acting as president, asked the clerk to call the roll, A quorum being present, the business of the day was taken up, the main feature of which was the discussion of the Colombian treaty. The discussion was begun by Senator Lodge, (J. C. Newlin) from Massachusetts who gave a ten minutes talk in favor of the ratification of the treaty. This was followed by Senator Borah from Idaho (L. L. W5.1 ams) Senator Pornevene from Ohio (Edwa v d L. Holladv) and Sen ator Johnson from Califsrnia, (Glad stone Hodgin) also ma;le speeches on ■this subject. After the discussion the vote was taken, the majority being in favor of the ratification of the treaty. Senator Overman of North Carolina (Spot Taylor) brought up a tariff bill which was amended by Senator Williams of Mississippi (Everett Hollady). This matter being referred back to the committee on ways and means, the most important business of the day was then taken up. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania (B. L. White presented a bill which he said was being dis cussed all over the United States, and which deserved the special attention of the senate. This bill provided for the enlarging and remodeling of the east parlor of Founders Hall, at Guilford College, North Carolina. The main feature of the change to be made was the discarding of the glass door and the large mirror which seemed to disturb the peace of some of the occupants as shown by tele grams from interested Guilford coup les. Senator Knox's eloquent plea was answered by Senator Ashurst of Arizona (E. Shaver) and Senator McNary from Oregon (R. Marshall) who were strongly opposed to this bill. After humorous speeches on both sides of the question, the pres ident referred the proposed bill to the committee on marriage and di- vorce, The President made a speech of welcome to the ladies present, and gave them an opportunity to address the Senate. The latter were very glad of the opportunity to address such an august body, and expressed their appreciation of the splendid program. The Senate then adjourned and each Senator sought out his partner and proceeded to entertain her royally for the rest of the evening. Conversation and mirth overflowed while the delicious menu was being served. This consisted of Waldorf Salad, cheese apples, sandwiches, ice cream, cake, coffee, and mints. GUILFORD COLLEGE, N.C, MAY 18, 1921 DR. AND MRS. BINFORD ENTER TAIN THE JUNIORS. Newspapers Put to Various Uses. Refreshments Served Much anticipation and enthusiasm was aroused among the members of the Junior class when they received a very timeful invitation, which had been cut from newspapers, to be present at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Binford on Tuesday evening, May 10. An invitation to the home of the president brought back memories of the first year spent at Guilford College by the Juniors and they realized how well they would be entertained. The newspaper idea was carried through the entire evening. Portions were secured by matching clippings from newspapers. After each per son had found a portion they were given newspapers and pins to make a dress or costume for his or her partner. Costumes of all kinds were made. Some of the dresses were altogether new style and every one felt very much dressed up when wearing the dress planned by his or her partner. After each person was well dressed a costume parade was given and the judges who were Mrs. Binford and Miss Noles decided who had won the prize. The next was an animal contest. Each person war given a news paper on which was written the name of an animal to be torn from the paper. General games were also played and were enjoy ed and were enjoyed very much. Newspapers were again given to every one. This time they were for napkins. Refreshments were served consisting of cake and ice cream. It was then time to go home but no Junior wished to leave until Mrs. Binford had favored them with at least one piano solo. The Juniors left more jolly than ever before exclaiming what a great time they had had. GIRLS' ATHLETICS Y. W. A. A. Closes Successful Season Letters and Monograms Awarded. Guilford is closing one of the most successful years in Girl's Ath letics that it has ever known, and as a result the Association has spent more money for Athletics this year than has been spent in any year in the past. In the fall one of the first things the new cabinet did was to revise the new constitution and draw up new rules and regulations, governing the winning of letters, in hiking, baseball, basket-ball and tennis. A list of by-laws and elligibility rules were also written for the association. Volley ball was introduced as a new sport and altho not a large number of the girls have taken an active part, quite a number have shown much interest in the new sport. The base-ball manager has pur chased a number of new balls and bats, which enables all the girls who wish to play base-ball. During the fall term four baseball teams played on all the regular practice (Continued on page 3) ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HOLDS IMPORTANT MEETING New Constitution Adopted, Officers Elected. The regular Spring meeting of the Young Men's Athletic Associa tion, which was held May 16, was the most significant athletic assembly held at Guilford in several years. At the very outset it became a revolu tionary body by taking up the ques tion of constitutional revision. An entirely new constitution, which had been drafted by a committee from the athletic Council and approved by the Council was submitted to the Association for its consideration. After considerable discussion about the provisions of article six which deals with the qualifications of offi cers of the Association the consti tution was accepted without altera tion, by an overwhelming majority. Under the new constitution, author ity is centralized, thus creating a responsible executive. The new office of Faculty Manager was created. This officer is held responsible for the general supervision of athletics. It is believed that under this sys tem of centralization the affairs of the Association will be conducted on a more business-like basis, which will mean better athletics for Guil ford. A report of the financial status of the Association was given by Professor Newlin of the Faculty Athletic Committee. Coach Doak was given a vote of thanks for the ex cellent service he had rndered during the year. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: president, L. L. Williams; vice president, J. H. White; secretary, Dewey Crews; Bas ketball manager, J. Curtis Newlin; Basketball manager W. T. Cox; Ten nis Manager, Everette Hollady; track manager, F. M. White. LETTER MEN HONORED AT CHAPEL EXERCISE Base ball and Basket-ball players Receive Letters The Young Men's Athletic Asso ciation took the chapel period Thurs day morning, for the purpose of re warding honors to basket ball and base ball men. B. S. White, pres ident of the association, conducted the exercise. He began by recounting t'le recent trip of the baseball team through Virginia, telling of the splendid spirit of the squad as others observed it. This news made every Guilfordian feel proud of the team, even though it did not win a majority of the games played, for they knew it played with a sportsmanlike spirit. If the team was defeated the spirit of it was unbroken, for it knew that all achievements did not crown the efforts of the team which succeeded in getting the most runs across the rubber. It is such spirit as this will make athletics belter for Guilford and it is hoped that it will permeate all of our athletic teams. The following men were awarded basketball letters, having met the re- (Continued on page 2) WEBSTERIANS HOLD ANNUAL CONTEST. Macon the Successful Contestant The thirty-fifth Annual oi-atorical contest of the websterian literary So ciety was held in Memorial Hall, Saturday evening, May 14th. Although there were only three orations delivered, much credit was reflected upon the society of which they were representatives. In the first oration, "The Labor er's Place." Charles R. Rollinson very interestingly traced the Labor er's place in the development of America. He also presented many of the problems that are now confront ing the laboring classes and, in a very convincing manner, showed how that education must be the secret. In the second speech, "The Fut ure of the Forest," Samuel P. Harris gave some very striking illustrations of how our forests ai*e being devas tated, and showed the great loss that is being inflicted upon our country by the destruction of our timber. The last oration, "Attaining the Ideal." was delivered by Hersal L. Macon. The speaker very gracefully presented the fundamental courses of the world's political and economical unrest. He also contended that the Ideal will be attained only when the world will have recognized Christ and his teachings. The audience was then favored with an instrumental duet by Misses Ada McCracken and Alta Rush. The judges for the evening were Miss Bessie V. Noles, Fred H. Morris and Professor Balderston. After the decision of the Judges Fred H. Morris gave some very en couraging remarks and awarded the medal to Hersal L. Macon. GUILFORD'S ATHLETIC STARS TO MEET AGAIN Baseball Game Planned. On May the thirtieth at eleven o'clock in the Henry Clay Hall, There will be a meeting of the Letter Men. Every old Man is cor dially invited to be present and take part in the meeting. The object of the meeting is to discuss athletics in general. We, the Guilford students of to-day are very grateful to you, for the excellent way in which you represented the college on the athletic field in the days of the past, we are also very anxious to hear you give a talk rem iniscent of former years, as well as to advise with us for the futui-e. For a number of years the varsity basball team has been playing, a team composed of the Alumni on Monday of commencement. The varsity team would be pleased if it might have an opportunity to play this year, however, the team and Coach Doak would rather see two teams composed of old Guilford Let ter Men play on Hobbs Athletic Field Monday afternoon of com mencement at two o'clock. Please remember the day and ar range to be present. Lay aside your business for one day and enjoy ath letics once more. Come, for we want to see how you look in a Guilford uniform again. No. 29
