THE GUILFORDIAN VOLUME VIII "CLARENCE" SCORES A SUCCESS AT GUILFORD Second Play Draws Large and En thusiastic Audience A second triumph was added to the score of the Dramatic Council last Saturday evening by the presenta tion of "Clarence," the play given for the benefit of the Men's Athletic Association. A clever comedy of American life artistically staged, it won the approval of a large and en thusiastic audience, in spite of the long wait between the first and sec ond acts. Among the actors honors must go to H. G. Mcßane in the title role, to lone and Benbow Merrimon in the parts of Cora and Bobby Wheel er, and to Gladstone Hodgin as Mr. Wheeler. Mr. Mcßane as the soldier hero was the hit of the evening. Posing in turn as mule driver, piano tuner, father confessor to the Wheel er household and lover, he proved himself irresistibly master of both comic and dramatic situations. Miss Lowe and Mr. Merrimon as the captivating little flapper and the prep school youth, delighted their audience with their utterly serious and spontaneously natural interpreta tion of their very amusing roles. This is the first appearance for both of them in important roles, and their initial success augurs well for future plays. Mr. Hodgin gave a realistic inter pretation of the tired business man, "head of unhappy, rowing family," handling some intensely emotioaal bits with much skill and feeling. He was particularly good in the stormy scenes in which Mr. Wheeler's irri tability was allowed free play. Much credit is also due Marianna White, who portrayed charmingly the young governess in the Wheeler household who falls in love with Clarence. CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS MEET TOGETHER On Thursday evening the two Christian Associations meet together cn the Campus and varied their program by having a song service. A meeting of this type is a'way? enjoyed and well attended as every one likes to hear the gospels sung On Sunday evening immediately after Christian Edeavcr the Y. W. and Y. M. C.

These lectures were very in teresting and through them an in sight was given to the real Blue Ridge as several of our students know it. We are hoping that this spring a lai'ger nuber will attend the Conference than ever before as we realize that Blue Ridge is the place to gain inspiration. Although our Christian associa tions do emphasize particularly the moral life, we do not forget the phyiscal. So along with the scenes of Blue Ridge, pictures were shown to emphasize the importance of cor rect posture and walking.
