VOL. IX.
QUAKERS OPEN BASE BALL
SEASON WITH MIGHTY
SQUAD OF PILL TOSSEHS
Heaviest Schedule in History of
Guilford Baseball
Crimson and gray caps are
once more dotting Hobbs field.
The clubs of ash are once again
swinging to meet the white
sphere. In short the Quaker
baseball quad is in training. Be
hind it, are three weeks of stiff
practice; with it, are some of the
best players in North Carolina,
notably the catcher and second
baseman. Before it, is the best
schedule, as well as the stiffest,
that any Guilford squad ever
faced.
The team will meet every "A"
college in this state including the
University of North Carolina, be
sides quite a few junior colleges.
Other colleges outside of the
state played are; New York uni
versity at Greensboro, two games
with Lynchburg, one of which is
at Guilford, Washington and Lee,
V. M. 1., Roanoke, V. P. 1., and
Richmond university all in the
state of Virginia. Twenty-one
games have been arranged by the
business manager, Thomas Eng
lish. Of these, the student body
can see seven, four on the home
ground and three in Greensboro.
Twenty out of this twenty-one
are college games. The only
non-collegiate game is a practice
game with the Greensboro league
at Greensboro.
The squad that has been report
ing daily, has a strength of be
tweent twenty-five and thirty
men. Coach Doak announces that
this number will be reduced
to eighteen or twenty before the
fighting begins. Ihe nine will
start action Monday, March at
Guilford, when it meets Catawba.
Four days later it plays New
York university at\ Greensboro,
and from then until May 1?. when
it plays Davidson college, the

PUY MAY BE SPOOKY
BUT WHO'S AFRAID?
The Stars Begin to Twinkle
"Three Live Ghosts" will be
walking out on the night of March
24, so be prepared to shiver your
shivers and shudder your shud
ders. Don't be mislead though,
you'll have plenty of room for
laughs, and, if you're emotional;
for a tear. The play is not spooky
after all, it's Spoofy. The charm
ing English lord, with the elevat
ed brow, and the light fingers,
swings the denoument as non
chalantly as his cane. The po
liceman is quite as adept at swing
ing his billy on his lordship's
head, however.
Old Sweeetheart, Eva Holder,
evidently wouldn't vote for pro
hibition in England, but A. Conan
Doyle and Sir Oliver Lodge and
other spiritualists find firm sup
port in her. Perhaps the first
characteristic accounts for the
second.
Janie Mae Butler, as Peggy
Woofers, is very well aware of
her superior position as landlady's
daughter until Jimmy Gubbins
hoves in sight, when she immedi
ately subsides into the most cling
ing of clinging vines. Under the
stress she permits Sam Harris, as
the detective Briggs, to scare her
almost to extinction.
The afore mentioned Sam is a
coming "third-degree" man. He
puts gentle Rose Gordon, Marga
ret Armfield, and Robert Mar
shall. as William Jones, through
their paces with a vengeance.
Rose, by the way, is Peggy's
rival in the clinging business.
The cockney may talk through
his nose and leave off his "h's",
but Jimmie Gubbins, Everett Mc-
Bane, nearly always dominates
the situation and simply does not
know how to lie down on a pal.
Lady Leicester affords an ele
gant contrast to the majority of
characters, and is a most distin
guished mate for but wait
and see how the triple love affair,
the energetic sleuth, and the rest
of it come out.
New Catalogue Goes To Press
The new Guilford college cata
logue for 1923-24 is now in the
hands of the printer and will be
ready for distribution by the first

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., MARCH 21, 1923.

birthday it was.

Hazel Richardson, '24, was
chosen to head the young wo
men's student government of
Guilford College during the year
of 1923-'24. Acting with her will
be Ruth Ragsdale, '24, vice presi
dent; Neellie Chilton, '25, secreta
ry; Maude Simpson, '26, treasur-
The Young Women's Student
Government Association, which
has been faithful in the past in
it's preservation of good conduct,
promises a no less successful term
next year, under the direction of
the newly elected officers.
The Association is very demo
cratic in its nomination and elec
tion of officers and thereby ob
tains the popular choice of its
members. Every girl of the jun
ior, sophomore and freshman
classes is considered a candidate
for the office of president, secre
tary, and treasurer, respectively.
The three from each class receiv
ing the highest number of votes
are then voted upon as as final
candidates for the offices.
GLEE CLUB SCORES HIT
OF SEASON AT ASHEBOBO
Feature Numbers Popular
The Glee club appeared in the
fourth concert of the season at
Asheboro, Friday evening, March
16. The program was decidedly the
best yet given, the convenient stage
plan and lighting facilities contrib
uting to an orderly and spirited pre
sentation.
Colored lighting effects on the
feature quartets enhanced the real
istic and picturesque costume effect,
and created atmosphere for these
impersonations. The quartet num
bers were well given, the sailor's
hornpipe dance again evoking tu
multuous applause.
J. G. Frazier scored individual
honors with his Harry Lauder solo
in Scotch-Highlander costume, a
feature lately added to the program.
Frank Casey's whistling solo and
the reading from Edgar A. Guest
by Joyce were again well received.
The orchestra deserves praise for its
balanced playing of a selection of
Southern melodies. A storm of ap
plause accompanied the playing of
Dixie, the last of this number. The
chorus of sixteen voices sang ex
ceptionally well. Hits were made
with "The Japanese Moon" and
the arranged college medley.
The club appeared under the
auspices of the Asheboro high school.
Officials of the school met members
of the club at the Ashelyn hotel,
and conveyed them to the homes of
the Asheboro people who entertain
ed them at dinner. The concert was
given in the Capitol theater.
Three more concerts are sched
uled for this season. The club will
appears at Pleasant Garden, March
22, and will complete its tour at
Oak Ridge, April 6, giving the
final concert at Guilford. April 17.

ACTIVITIES OF STUDENT
VOLUNTEERS DISCUSSED
AT Y. M„ Y. W. MEETING
Mr. Hoover, Traveling Secretary
For Movement Summarizes
Needs of the World
Lyman Hoover, Traveling sec
retary of the student volunteer
movement, addressed a joint
meeting of the Y. M. and Y. W.
C. A. in Memorial Hall, Thurs
day evening, March 15.
As a background for the pres
ent work of the student volunteer
movement, Mr. Hoover gave a
brief resume of the origin of this
movement at Princeton Univer
sity in 1886.
"This idea," he said, "was first
held by four Princeton men who
were very much interested in
missionary work. These men
who met together regularly for
prayer, took Christ so seriously
that a general renewal of spir
itual life was effected throughout
Princeton. These four people
received a vision of a Christianiz
ed world, and they prayed for
universal religion in their life
time, adopting as a watch-word
'Evangelization of the world in this
generation.'"
Thus the movement was start
ed and rapidly grew. At the
first national conference they
challenged men for a reason why
they should not go to work in
foreign lands, and as a result one
hundred men became missiona
ries. Then men were sent out to
the various colleges in the coun
try canvassing for members, and
during the first year 2,000 stu
dents signed the pledge.
"Since the founding of this or
ganization." the speaker contin
ued. "thousands have joined in
the work and sixty-seven coun
tries are now represented in the
confederation. Students every
where," lie urged, "must realize
the importance of missionary
work as a world problem, and at
tack it as such. Think of the men
and money involved in the world
war in comparison with the work
done during those years to set
the world in order through evan
gelization."
"Most students," Mr. Hoover
said, "are too much engrossed in
social events of college life to
think much about the larger prob
lems. They should study more
about world Christianity, having
that first in their interest."
