NOTES OF TEN YEARS AGO
The following are some notes gathered
from the publications of Guilford ten
years ago. They are of necessity
shortened for conservation of space.
On Wednesday evening, Dec. 8, 1915,
Dr. and Mrs. Newlin entertained the
senior class at their home. Everyone
present had a very enjoyable time.
Prof. W. C. Smith of State Normal
spoke here Saturday night, Dec. 15.
The subject of his lecture was "Why
study the Bible." He pointed out nu
merous reasons why we should read
and study God's Word.
A humorous lecture was given here on
Saturday night, December. 11, 1915,
by Mr. W. 11. Futrell. The program con
sisted mainly of selections from our own
North Carolina poet, John Charles Mc-
Niel. One of the Uncle Remus stories
was given. All of these selections dealt
with negro life in the Carolinas. The
program was a great success.
The basketball championship for the
season 1915-'l6 was won by the seniors
in a close game. The escore when the
final whistle blew was 26-27 with the
seniors ahead. At many times during
the game the freshmen, with whom the
seniors were contending, led by a few
points. Both teams fought hard to the
very last and it was anybody's game un
til the whistle blew.
On Thursday evening, January 6th,
the Guilfordians of Southampton county,
Virginia, came together at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Ilaiford. The Guil
ford spirit is strong in this section of
Virginia. In Southampton county there
were at that time about 35 who had
been in Guilford at some time since
1867. Of this number 16 were alumnae

THE GUILFORDIAN
A GOLDEN SONG
On my loom of the quiet hours
1 wove a golden song,
As soft as the fragile flowers
Where the brook ripule along.
I wove in a strand of twilight,
It's ruddy golden hue.
I wove in touches of starlight
From the cool sweet lands of blue.
My busy fingers faltered
As they hovered o'er my head
' And I chose from all the others
A silk and golden thread.
i Then I wove smoothly, carefully,
And very tenderly, too,
j Into the golden song of mine
| My beautiful thoughts of you.
| On and on I wove the thread
' Into a golden song.
I could not weave it all in—
Oh, dear, it must be long.
> And now each day I weave in
The thread of silk and gold,
That are my dreams and thoughts of you
And memories of old.
—Geneva Hifhfill, '26
