TENNIS TEAM LOSES—HARD
FOUGHT MATCH WITH
TRINITY
On Saturday, May 20, Guilford
lost a hard fought tennis match with
the Trinity team. All the matches
were close, especially the singles. But
the final punch which always de
cides a contest seemed to be lacking.
In the first doubles, Tabor and Lefler,
of Trinity, runners up in the stole
tournament defeated Merrimon and
Brown of Guilford 6-1; 7-5, while
Turrentine and Marr defated Tatum
and Joyce 7-5; 6-1.
In the first single Merrimon lost
to Tabor in straight sets 6-3, 6-4.
Both sets, however, were hard fought.
The other three singles were extreme
ly close. Brown was defeated by
Turrentine 6-4, 3-6, 6-1. Joyce lost
to Marr 6-3,-26.16-2. Tatum lost to
Summers 6-4, 4-6, 6-0.
Brown and Joyce are new men on
the team this year and deserves much
credit for their splendid work. Tatum
also has the reputation of playing
better in a hard match.
Dr. N. I. White, coach at Trinity
says that Guilford's tennis team has
improved wonderfully in th past
year, and is the best team that Giul
ford has ever had.
MR. PALMER LEADS CHAPEL
On Monday morning, May, /15,
Professor Palmer of the Chemistry
Department gave an interesting talk
at the chapel hour. His address con
cerned the exhaustion of the world's
supply of coal and oil, and the possi
ble solution of the problem. The
supply of hard coal will be exhausted
by 1975. However there is enough
coal to last for fifty thousand years,
and with a little change in the method
of burning this coal can be substitut
ed for the hard vatriety.
The gasoline problem presents
greater difficulties. The supply of.
crude oil will be exhausted in twenty
years. Without some substitute for
this article the automobile will pass
out of existence. Two possible solu
tions present themselves. Since the
United States has unlimited water
power, it has been suggested that this
be converted into into elcetrical en
ergy, and that the automobile be run
on storage batteries. This, however,
would necessitate a complete change
in the mechanism of the automobile.
The other plan, and the orue that Mr.
Palmer thinks more feasible is to use
alcohol as a fuel. We think of alco
hol as being expensive, but the ex
pense in the government tax and not
not in the manufacture. Ethyl alcohol
can be made from corn at a moderate
cost.. Mr. Palmer suggests that the
U. S. Government control plants in
the great corn-producing regions of
the country. The alcohol would be
denatured to render it unfit for pur
posse other than as a fuel.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
ELECTS NEW OFFICERS
Constitution Revised
At a regular meeting of the Young
Men's Atliletic Association, held in
Memorial Hall on Monday after
noon, May 22, a revision of the by
laws concerning the awarding of let
ters was agreed upon. The necessi
ty for the revision grew out of the
desirability of more nearly equaliz
ing the requirements for the attain
ments of letters in the various sport.
Election of officers for the coming
year was also an important item of
business. The new officials are as
follows: president, Hershal Macon:
vice-president, William Blair; secre
tary, Edward Holder; baseball man
ager, Thomas R. English; basket ball
manager, J. W. Frazier; tennis man
ager, Benbow Merrimon; track man

The retiring officers were: L. L.
Williams, president; Hugh White,
vice-president: Dewey Crews, secre
tary; Frank McGee, baseball mana
ger; Gladstone Hodgin, football man
ager, and Murray White, track man

has scored a success this year under
its outgoing officers, and is looking
forward to a repetition under the new
management.

the life of the college newspaper
A new system has been inaugurated.
Since 1914 the Guilfordian has been
in charge of an editor-in-chief and
business manager, a system under
which the work of these two men
has been very heavy. With a view
to obtaining a more efficient board
and lightening the load of some of
its members, the editorial staff and
business staffs have been enlarged.
The reporters are to be chosen by the
four literary societies on account of
their ability to do reportorial work.
The new editorial staff consists of
an editor-in-chief, a managing editor
and two faculty advisors. J. Spot
Taylor, Jr., the new editor-in-chief,
who has very successfully conducted
the business part of the Guilfordian
Board for the past year, has had
valuable experience which will stand
him in good stead in his new posi
tion. The managing editor, Mr.
Hershal Macon, has also served on
the board besides taking a course in
Journalism this spring. In connec
tion with which he has had some ex
perienceas a correspondent for one
of the state newspapers.
Instead of one business manager as
in the past the business staff is now
made up of a business manager, as
sistant business manager, and a circu
lation manager. Frank McGhee, the
new business manager has proved
his business ability as a very success
ful base ball manager this year. Wil
liam Blair, who will assist him. has
also had experience along business
lines The circulation manager, Miss
Hazel E. Richardson, although not in
college at the present time, was a
member of the Guilfordian Board
last year.
The reportorial staff has several
members who have served as report
ers this year besides four people
who have taken the course in Jour
nalism, given at Guilford. The stu
dent reporters are as follows: Clara
Henley, William Fishel. Eva Hol
der, G. A. Dewey Crews, Elizabeth

guests were met at the door with a
hearty welcome by the host and host
ess.
During the evening a very inter
esting program was thoroughly en
joyed by all the freshmen. First ihey
were divided into groups according
to the month of their birthdays; then
each group was asked to perform a
stunt characteristic of the month
which they represented, the
groups guessing' what month they
were representing and also what the
stunt was representing. This and a
few other games were enjoyed on
the lawn, after which they all return
ed to the house and enjoyed several
more very interesting and instructive
contests and games. One of the most
interesting games was that each per
son should paraphrase some well
known Proverb, the other people
guessing what the proverb was. An
other game was the delivering of ora
tions, their major characteristic being
jestures. Several members of the
freshman class joined in this and
derived much benefit from it.
The guests were served with deli
cious orange ice and doris cakes by
the young men of the class, assisted
by Dr. Binford.

in the world we cannot do it as a
conqueror but as one of a family.

which he stands.

class picnic, Wednesday, May 17. It
is a custom at the college for the
Seniors to observe such an occasion
sometime during the spring semes

that the weather man worked very
hard to break up the picnic, but he
did not succeed. The crowd, com
posed of eighteen boys and girls with
Miss Louise as chaperone, left Foun
ders about 5 o'clock. Jackson's Park
was unanimously selected as a good
place for the final celebration. Arriv
ing at the park, the class noted with
interest the various specimens of bird
life found in the, "Retreat." The
boat on the lake furnished rides for
all of the boys and most of the
girls. Some of the girls felt pangs
of seasickness during the process.

built and supper was soon served.
The menu consisted of club, olive
