THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VIII
GUILFORD WINS FIRST
SAME OF SEASON
Defeats Mars H'll College 13-11
In High Point
Guilford opened the base ball sea
son with a practice game with Mars
Hill at High Point, March 2'5, and
won from the Juniors 13 to 11 in a
game featured by many errors and
much loose playing.
Lack of practice occasioned by
spring rains prevented the Quakers
from being in good form and costly
errors at crucial moments in the
game were responsible for the num
ber of runs which were slipped
over the rubber. Only the heavy
slugging of the entire team offset the
loose field work and gave the Quak
ers their final two run lead. Prac
tically every man on the team con
nected for at least one clean hit.
Mars Hill was able to drive out her
hits when they counted most. Catch
er Roberts doubles both came when
the bases were full, so that although
Mars Hill had fewer hits than the
Quakers she was.always in the run
ning.
"Babe" Shore opened the twirling
game for Guilford, with Hayworth
receiving in fine form. Captain
"Babe" worked through seven frames,
when he was relieved by Ferrell for
the remaining two. Though not yet
in real pitching form the big right
hander gave a fair account of him
self. At no time was he forced to
work hard and his real strength was
not on exhibition. Ferrell pitching
his first game of college ball did all
that could be expected of a youngster
and held theh visitors well for the
support he was given.
The work of the infield was
by no means up to par. In the
first frame two wild throws to first
and a fumble filled the bases and
Roberts, the Mars Hill coach, con
nected up for two bases. A single
added another run and the inning
ended 3 to 0.
Guilford made her first run in the
third added a couple more in the fifth
and tied the score 7-7 in the sixth
In the seventh Guilford sent four
more across the plate. Mars Hill
followed with two in the eighth
Each team scored twice in the fina!
frame, the game closing: with the
Quakers two rurs in the lead
Coach Doak tried out a number of
new men during the game. Tate,
v.ho began the game at first, was re
lieved early in the game by Mr. H
Shore. Winn played a good fielding
game at second, while John Fraziei,
at short and "Shorty" Frazier,
at third, both played fair ball.
Newlin who played in the left gar
den was decidely off in his fielding
game and allowed three or four easy
chances to slip through his fingers,
but he was especially strong with
the willows. Smith, a new man in
center field, while a bit nervous did
did good fielding. Cummings in right
field played a steady game.

CAMPUS CLEANED B'f
FACULTY AND STODENiS
Cleaning Day ' Observed for Second
"Clean-up Day," the day for the
annual dry-laundering of the campus,
arrived last Thursday. The event
was presaged by ominous warnings
from faculty and upper classmen.
Wednesday morning the entire stu
dent body was divided into commit
tees to work on different areas of
the campus. Mr. Pancoast made an
eloquent chapel talk on this occasion,
calling for volunteers to get brush
brooms in the afternoon. The appeal
was moving indeed, but few people
moved, therefore the Thursday morn
ing Trig Classes were drafted into
service. By this means, a sufficient
number of brooms was obtained.
The community was canvassed for
rakes, and teams for hauling leaves
were provided by the College farm.
At 1:30 the students hastened to
their respective places in order to
secure rakes instead of brooms.
Leaves were raked or swept into
piles, and some were burned while
others were packed into bags which
were taken away by the teams. En
vious workers viewed the drivers of
these teams with a vague sense of
unrest and fatigue. Whenever a
rake fell from wearied hands, eager
ones grabbed it up, that is, for the
first hour. After that, the zeal was
less obtrusive. Inch by inch the cam
pus was relieved of sticks, leaves,
and other debris accumulated since
last "clean-up day."
Saws in the hands of Professor
Pancoast and Baker and a number of
the students deprived numerous- trees
of more or less inartistic looking
banches, noticeable the two "chin
ning" branches on the walk from
Founder's to Mem. A great blow has
been dealt the physical development
of the girls by this vandalism.
After two and one half hours of
strenuous labor the workers adjurne '
to their respective dormitories to pre
pare for supper. Shovels were called
into use to get off the top hyers o
dirt. The lily-whi'e hands of a few
students were arrayed with artistic
ally arranged blisters.
When the majority of the student
body had achieved a presentable ap
pearance, a bount'ful spper of sand
wiches, cake, eggs, pickles, apples,
coffee, and cocoa was served on the
campus in front of Founders.
At seven o'clock there was a joint
meeting of the Y. W. and Y. M. C
A's, at which Dr. Perisho made an
interesting and appropriate address
GUILFORI) REPRESENTED AT

of the Home Economics Convention
which was held in Greensboro, Friday
and Saturday, March 24 and 25. More
than one hundred Home Economics
teachers from all parts of North Car
olina attended this convention.
The sessions of' this Convention
were very interesting and helpful.
Many good speakers were present,
chief of whom was Mr. Benjamin
Andrews from Teacher's College, Car
olina University. One of the most
interesting sessions was on Friday
morning when reports were given
from teachers of various colleges on
the subject, "The Best Thing I Have
Done This Year." Miss Noles report
ed from Guilford College concerning
the work of her Seniors who are co
operating with the County Board of
Health in the modern health crusada
for school children. She also spoke
of the health campaign that is be
ing planned for the students of the
Home Economics Department.
Attending this convention were

ELON WINS DECISION
IN DUAL DEBATE
The Elon-Guilford inter-collegiat?
'ebate was held in Memorial Hall,
Friday, March 24, The question
v/as: "Resolved. That the Treaty-
Making Power of the United States
should be transferred to the Execu
tive Department of government, con
stitutionally waived." The speakers
for Guilford were L. Lyndon Wil
-I'ams and J. Curtis Newlin; for Elon,
Wm Tate Scott and Ralph Otis
Smith.
Mr. Williams had a good argument
and presented it in a forceful manner.
He showed that a change in the
method of exercising the treaty rnak
ng power is essential to the main
tenance of an effective foreign policy.
"The present system has caused al
most continuous friction between the
executive and senate which has re
sulted in direct injury to this nation
and has created unprofitable rela
tions between the U. S. and certain
foreign powers," said the speaker,
and "the political interests, selfish
ambition and minority rule which
govern the senate are not conducive
to the proper execution of the treaty
making power".
Mr. Newlin showed that the treaty
making power will be exercised more
efficiently by the executive depart
ment for we eliminate friction and
secure unity of purpose by central
izing the authority in an organ of
government that functions as a unit.
Mr. Scott and Mr. Smith of Elon
contended that the policy was con
trary to democracy, and showed the
good that the treaty-making power
has accomplished in the United States
in the past. They also maintained

DR. PERISHO CONTINUES
PUBLIC SCHOOL WORK
Spends Last Week With Schools in
Guilford County.
Dr. Perisho is continuing his work
with vigor and enthusiasm, delivering
often as many as four or five public
addresses each day in the week.
While Dr. Perisho's work is chiefly
among the high schools and graded
schools, yet he often speaks at relig
ious gatherings and other public
meetings in both city and rural com
munities, always discussing in his
usual manner the vital topics of the
day. He continues to carry to the
schools the message of education.
His favorite text is "Does it pay fco
get an education?" In discussing this,
he bases much of his talk upon the
fact that if the United States Army
could not fight effectively and remain
ignorant. The gi-eat mass of people
can never hope to meet the problems
of peace unless they are educated.
Dr. Perisho spent the past week
in Guilford County, with the excep
tion of Sunday, March 19, when he
spoke to the congregation at Science
Hll Friends Church, and Monday,
March 20, when he delivered two
addresses at the Farmer high school
in Randolph County. He spoke to
the Guilford high school on Tuesday
and Thursday mornings and spent
considerable time with the debaters
of that institution. We-dnesday he
visited the Greensboro high school
and spoke to the faculty and the
eight hundred students there. On
Friday the state W. C. T. U. con
ference heard his splendid talk on
the benefits derived from prohibition
and his praise for the work which
the organization had done in promot
ing Child Welfare Work. On Satur
day he delivered the commencement
address at the Oak Ridge graded
school.
Previous to the past week and sinre
liis trip to eastern North Carolina,
Dr. Perisho has be3n visiting thr
schools in Moore, Randolph, Ala
mance Chatham and Guilford coun
ties. Every high school in Guilford
county, with two or three exceptions,
has been visited by him. In Moore
county he visited every high school
and also a number of graded schools.
While there he addressed a public
meeting in the community, held at
Pinehurst, the famous winter resort.
Up to the present time Dr. Per
isho's work has been done under the
auspices of Guilford College. The
greater part of his work in the
future with the exception of com
mencement addresses will be done at
the request of the confei-ence of
college presidents. His plans are to
visit the schools of Forsyth, Mont
gomery, Rockingham and possibly
Stokes. He has also arranged to
deliver a dozen or more commence
ment addresses.
In all of his travels among the
schools, Dr, Perisho reports a splen
did reception, and finds many alumni,
old students and friends of Guilford,
who from reports given to him by
county superintendents are making
records in the teaching profession
which rates them with the very best
teachers to be found in the state.
JUNIORS ENTERTAIN SENIORS
Elon College Upper Classmen en
joyed one of the most delightful oc
casions of the social season here
last Saturday evening when the Sen
ior Class was entertained by the
Juniors at the Annual Junioi-Senior
Reception. During the early part
of the evening, games, contests and
other forms of amusement were pro
vided. Later the merry makers as
sembled around a large, beautifully
decorated table where refreshments
were served and amusements were
furnished in the form of toasts,
jokes, reading and witty after din
ner talks.
FAUST, THE BEAUTIFUL,
IS HEARD AT GUILFORD
J. Westley White, As Memphisto
pheles, Sang with Authority
and a Fine Tone.
"Faust" the perennially beautiful,
an opera, by Charles Gounod, was
given March 2, in Memorial hall by
the Guilford Choral society under the
able direction of James Westley
White. The opera, a veritable mine
of melody and harmony, and one dear
to the hearts of all, was given a well
prepared and oftimes moving per
formance. Mr. White evidently in
sympathy with the work and with his
forces, bringing them through a dif
ficult undertaking with great ci'edit
to all those taking part.
The chorus of 60 voices has been in
training all winter and the quality of
their work showed vast improvement
over that of recent years; a splendid
tone quality was particularly noted,
precision of attack, and appreciation
for accent and finish. The work of
the choral society has become an es
tablished part of the life of the col
lege, and it has some fine achieve
ments to its credit, and last night's
offering promises splendid things for
the* future.
Aside from directing, Mr. White
also appeared in the role of Memphis
topheles, and sang with authority,
and fine tone and appreciation for
the part.
Gumey Briggs, of High Point,
| sang the leading role, or name part
and added new laurels to his fine rec
ord by the beauty of his singing and
the spirit with which he entered
into the part. Miss Beatrice Byrd, as
Margarita, was in fine voice, and the
music of this part seemed especially
| suited for her flexible and pleasing
| style. Especially effective was the
"Jewel Song," which she sang in
splendid fashion.
Perhaps the sensation of the even
ing WES the singing of Miss Clara
Henley, in the role of Siebel. Miss
Henley is a graduate pupil of the
vocal department at Guilford this
year, and for sometime has delighted
the public there with her singing; but
last night's singing showed even
greater improvement. Miss Henley
has all of the qualifications of a
successful singer; a splendid rich
voice, poise and sympathetic under
standing and her future will be
watched with interest. Miss Henley
also sang the part of Martha.
William Hallis Hatfield sang the
part of Valentine with fine effect, a
dramatic part, and handled it with
taste and skill and was in good voice.
Joe Reece Mor:on in the short but
difficult role of Wagner, handled his
lines well and sang with good tone.
Miss Nellie Clapp, as accompanist,
again demonstrated her ability to
handle a big score in a masterly way
and gave good solid support for the
ensemble numbers, as well as sup
plying sympathetic support for the
soloists.
Miss Anne Roberts, of the faculty
at Guilford, acted as interpreter of
the spoken recitatives very skillfully,
Altogether it was a fine achiev
ment for the society and a notewor
thy step, musically, for the commu
nity.
FRENCH CLUB MEETS
The French Club was delightfully
entertained by Misses Blanche Lind
ley and Ruth Pearson, Wednesday,
March 22, from 4:00 to 5:30 P. M.
Interesting games, among them "Cha
teaubriand", were provided to keep

entirely in French, was kept up with
a lively interest.

were served for refreshments. The
guests present were Miss Roberts,
Misses Lois Rabey, Helen Bostick,
Esther White, Ruth Reynolds, Clara
Henley and Mabel Ward.
