LISTEN, LADIES STAGED
DY HIGH SCHOOL FACDLTY
"Listen, Ladies" was the title
of what might have been better
named '"Listen, Gentlemen," the
I play given in Memorial Hall, Fri
| day evening by the Guilford High
; School faculty. The gentlemen
!of the town of Guilford were
made to sit up and pay attention
literally and actually.
In what was a clever farce t
start with the ladies of the school
made an appeal for funds for
Guilford's new school building,
by localizing the action of the
play and centering the nice gos
sip around Guilford's more no-j
torious characters. The play con
cerned a search for the hidden
treasures of a German soldier
who once camped near Guilford
Battleground. Of course the sar
castic gentlemen of the town j
dared the members of the sewing!
circle to find it, and even hid an
other five thousand in bona fide ;
checks to reward their' efforts;!
and of course the dear ladies
found both the treasure and the
reward to the mutual benefit of
everybody and the delight and
satisfaction of the audience. Com- j
edy found its way through the
choice gossip and the unique set
ting coupled with the character
ization by Mrs. Sarah Sampson
and Miss Gilbert of the rebellions
maid and the good old housewife j
who took her chickens and Molly!
Moo to camp.
Proceeds of the play are to go \
to the Parent-Teacher Associa
tion.
Virginia Gallaway spent the
week-end at her home in Greens
boro.
Neola Steed spent Sunday at
her home in High Point.
THE GUILFORDIAN
OR. BINFORD RETURNS FROM
EDUCATIONAL BOARD MEETING
WITH PRAISE FOR ANTIOGH
i French Commitete Session Is
Held In Richmond,
Indina
President Binford has just re
turned from Richmond, Indiana,
where he attended the annual
! meeting; of the Education?* 1 "
|of the Five years Meeting.
At these anual meetings ques
; tions of mutual interest to the col
| leges are considered—such mat
ters as financial campaigns, scho
lastic standards, co-operation
| with inter-church educational or
j ganizations.
The main feaure of Dr. Bin
-1 ford's trip was a visit to Antioch
I College, with which he was fa
vorably impressed. Antioch Col
lege says Dr. Binford is conduct
ing one of the most interesting
experiments in higher education
in America. "The students there
alternate between five weeks of
academic study and five weeks'
i work in various industries in the
adjoining cities. Every student is j
paired with another student so
that while one group is studying
another is out working. This has
been adopted, not so much as a
means of giving students an op
| portunity to earn a goodly por
tion of their expenses while in
j college, but rather as a program
|of education. The administration
: believes that work under college
guidance is a very important part
lof a liberal education. Such par
| ticipations in the various progres
sions and in industry increases
one's interest and enthusiasm in
his college studies and at the
same time keeps the student in
touch with the industrial world
and helps to bridge over the
break between college training
j and life work. This experiment of
! Antioch is attracting wide atten
tion and is meeting with a great
response by young people seek
ing a preparation for life. The en
rollment there has ' increased
some 300 per cent, since the plan
was inaugurated two and a half
years ago. The students while
I they are out on their industrial
j period are scattered throughout
( )hio and adjoining states. The
college is making an effort, how
ever, to provide industrial oppor
tunities on the campus for the
Freshmen."
COLLEGE ORCHESTRA AGAIN
BEGINS ITS FUNCTION
With the wave of the baton Sat
urday night the college orchestra
again became a functioning organ
iation. The loss of the entire string
section, with the exception of the ,
second violin, last year prevented
organization at the beginning of the
fall term. But with the addition of
new pieces, a better orchestra is
expected for the spring than has yet
been organized.
A cello has been added to the
strings under the hand of James
Barbee. Ashby Pamplin of Greens
boro will head the violin section.
E. B. Parks will add to the brass
with a C-melody saxaphone, and
Ralph Farlow has kindly consent
ed to return to his former position
at first trumpet, as occasion de
