He addressed the student body at the chapel hour, telling of the poverty striken people of Europe and of the evils present there.

College teams are in the making and every student is a prospect. Scores of students crowd the different fiields, anxious to show their ability. No less anx ious stands the coach, eagerly look ing among the new comers for more speed, skill and endurance. Athlet ics have again come into their own, and due to the efforts of Coach Doak. the response of the students, and the backing of the faculty and alumni, Guilford's teams this year should break all past records. Especially is there much expected ot the tennis team. Last year an en thusiastic effort was made to create a greater interest in tennis. The di rect effort of the drive can be seen in the crowded courts. Thirty men are out fighting for a berth on the regulars. Although the team lost two good men last year, Brown and Zach ary, yet the new material shows prom ise of making up the loss. The old men that are back show a marked improvement over their last Spring form. Another game, play-ground ball, has been introduced and is proving very popular with the base ball fa natics. Many of the basketball play ers also find this game pleasant pas time and a sure way of gaining wind for their more strenuous game. With tennis, volleyball, play-ground ball, and football raging, athletics cnotrol conversation. Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Farlowe of High Point visited Miss Vera Far lowe and Wray Farlowe Sunday. Frank Lamons, who is a former Guilford student, has been at the col lege recently.

Hobbs, who stood next in the receiving line, composed of the entire faculty, also welcomed all the students back to the Guilford fellowship. Each new student, having been made to feel welcome and at ease, was given a small book with a pencil attached and a process of informal and wholesome introduction was in order. Music furnished by the college or chestra and punch served copeously kept things at a high tide of enjoy ment. A beautifully lighted campu3 under a dreamy moon proved not un conducive to the large number of old students and friends of the college. The classes of 'l9 and '22 were es pecially well represented. Co-eds Show Much Interest in Sports Under the direction of Miss Vir ginia I. Robinson, physical director for women, the work of the Women's Athletic Association is starting with unusual vim.
