SHORE HOLDS LENOIR TO
TWO HITS AND QUAKERS
WIN WITHJ.ONE TALLY
Bingles by Ferrell and Lindley
Score Victory for Crimson
and Gray
Kenneth E. Neese
The Guilford Quakers downed the
Lenoir-Rhyne Mountaineers in a hard
fought baseball game here last Thurs
day by the close score of 1-0. Clyde
Shore was the Pitching Ace of the
day. Both his characteristic smiles
and his crooked curves ( had a good
day, for he turned back the Moun
taineers with only two clean hits.
The whole team played errorless ball
behind Shore. Not once did they
seem to become careless in the field.
Te game started off with a great deal
of enthusiasm. Every body seemed to
be able to locate the apple but no
body could place it in "No man's
land." Nothing of an outstanding
character happened until the sixth in
ning except spectacular catches by
Clyde Mcßane and Frank Sinithdeal in
the outer garden. Mcßane's running
catch, one handed stab of a hot one
libeled for 3 sacks, was of the variety
which brings grand stands to their feet.
In the sixth inning the Quakers drew
blood. Rick Ferrell, first man up,
smacked the pill for two bases. Block
Smith followed and fanned. Wade
Lindley was next up. He sent the
first one to ride for two sacks while
Ferrell crossed the platter with the
winning tally. Neres English next
flied out to center field. Griffin got hit
by a pitched ball and went to first.
Shore retired the inning by grounding
out to third.
The Quakers had 11 mep left on bas
es during the game. They had several
chances to fatten their score column
but the Quaker batsmen failed to
connect with safeties when hits meant
runs, except for Lindley's timely swat
in the sixth inning. In the second
canto, Ferrell lined out a single and
was sacrificed to second by C. Smith,
Lindley and English walked filling
the bases. But hopes were dashed to
earth when Griflin popped up a weak
fly to the infield. In the seventh, the
Quakers again threatened to score.
Smithdeal got a single and was sacri
ficed to second by "Red" Hughes.
Ferrell got on first by error on the
part of Frick. Frazier singled and the
bases were filled; only one man out.

cordance with the adopted constitution
of the Men, which went into effect sev
eral months ago, when a Men's Stu
dent Council was formally established
to act as a mediating body between the
Faculty and the Men of Guilford Col
lege. Mr. English had served before

the Student Councl.

vear.
The Council which was instituted
unanimously by the men several
months ago immediately upon its or
ganization took up some of the prob
lems that have been confronting the
men. Through the medium of mass
meetings several matters have been
brought to the attention of the men,
which have had a desirable effect.
The Council, along with the Women's
Student Council, has been sponsoring

ner and the new arrangement has

MR, HAWORTH DIES
Professor D. Riley Haworth and
Samuel Haworth were called away Sat
urday morning to attend the funeral
of their father, Mahlon Haworth, in
Maryville, Tennessee. The funeral was
held Monday afternoon.
The deceased, Mr. Haworth, was of
the fifth generation, a descendant of
George Haworth, who came from Eng
land with William Penn in 1699. He
was at one time a member of the
Tennessee Legislature and in his home
community he was beloved and most
highly respected.
These, recommended by Miss Kopf,
deal with the problem of lateness at
breakfast, and also institutes the rule
of dismissal by the head of the table,
of each individual table immediately
upon the finishing of the meal, re
gardless of the other diners of the
hall. Matters pending before the
Council at the present time are,
whether the Men shall institute the
custom of attending classes without
their coats, and the advisability of
opening the library at night for the
use of the students. The library,
here-to-fore, has been closed at 5:00
o'clock in the evening, but would
under the proposed new rule, remain
open until 9:00 or 10:00 o'clock.
Athletic policies are also under con
sideration.
The Council which has been work
ing as a unity of organization has for
mulated seven principles which shall
serve as a basis for the working or
ganization. These were adopted, first
by the Council, and then ratified by
the Men's Student Body, at a Mass
Meeting on Saturday morning, April
25. The principles adopted are as
follows:
In considering matters of discipline
and student life, we agree to base
our decisions upon the following gen
eral principles:
I. Good student work is fundamen
tal in the life of the college and
should be supported in every possible
way, and decisions that would in any
way interfere with it, should be
avoided.
11. The desires and purposes of the
founders and supporters of the college
as expressed in regulations and pre
cedents of them, or their representa
tives, should be respected.
111. The preservation of college
property and the economic use of the
equipment is recognized as an impor
tant obligation of the student body.

J will be delivered by Tom Sykes, pastor

I Alexander Meiklejohn who will de
! liver the main address at commence
| ment has a decided interest in the
| small college. He has written several
! articles on the advantages of the small
college. This interest in the small col
j lege makes his coming to Guilford
of special interest. Mr. Meiklejohn
in his article "The Ideal College" ap
pearing recently in the Century Maga
zine discussed some of the things
which go to make up the ideal college.
1 He also strongly advocated a course for
freshmen which is very similar to the
j one which is being offered here this
'spring under the name of, "Outlines
of Civilization." Doctor Meiklejohn is
one of the foremost educators in the
' world and is noted for his advanced
thinking along educational lines.
Elton Trueblood, of Boston, is a

DOCTOR RINFORD URGES
HIGH REGARD FOR DUTY
"Endowment, buildings, equipment,
and all conveniences that may be se
j cured for a college, are a failure if
! I hey do not produce a spirit of good
will, an air of refinement and cultufe,
and an enthusiasm for service," said
Doctor Binford, in the last of his se
ries of chapel talks on how to build
a college, Thursday morning.
! In his discussion of service he went
further and took up duty, with refer
ence to student help 011 the campus.
"Student help is the costliest and least
efficient help that the college pays
j for,'" he said. "I have to put qualify
j ing phrases into the recommendations
I which I write for those students who
cannot be depended upon in their work
j about the campus. As heartily as I
| support strict attendance to classes, I
can't recommend a man who leaves a
job poorly done to go to class. He is
i putting himself first and allowing his
personal interests to come between him
j and duty."
Mary (at the dinner table) : "My

Mildred (abstractedly) : "Mine is

JUNIORS ENTERTAIN THE
SENIORS IN BANQUET
AT SEDGEFIELD MANOR
Chaucerian Period With Old Eng
lish Customs Used as Motif
Of Program
The Juniors and the Seniors join
ed gaily together in the spirit of
CSiaucer and his 14th century cus-
I turns, and toasted and jested at the
Annual Junior-Senior banquet held at
1 Sedgefield Manor, Tuesday evening,
April 28th.
The entire lower floor of the Sedge
field Manor was thrown en suite for
the evening, and the Juniors, who
were acting as hosts at this annual
affair had converted the entire front
drawing room into a single banquet
ing hall. Using the oaken beamed
ceilings, large glowing fireplaces, and
heavy furnishings as a background,
they built in this imaginary castle
banquet hall, an atmosphere of the
14th century with its Anglo-Saxon
fascination. Chaucer's "Canterbury
Tales" with their early English cus
toms furnished motif of the pro
gram; old English lettering and spell
ing for the cards, old English deco
rations, old English menu, old Eng
lish toasts, added to the spirit of the
evening. Chaucerian creations, "The
Nonne," "The Monk," "The Pardon
ner," and so on, rose in response to the
toasts of the "fnnekeepyre" in the
person of Harvey Dinkins '26, and
spun their tales to the enjoyment of
the banqueters.
Mr. Dinkins proved himself an able
"Sir Host" and to his fitting intro
duction, Harriet Pringle '25, "The
Nonne," spoke in the "tendre'' accents
of the nun, of the tragedies, joys, and
hopes of the Seniors, and James Ho
well '25 the mood of the "The Monk"
livened the evening with his witty re
marks and personality sketches of the
Seniors, John Reynolds '25 "The Par
donner," who "in a glass he hadde
pigges bones" sopke in the spirit of
prophecy of things both Junior and
Senior.
Professor Wilson in a cleverly writ
ten and equally cleverly given speech
as "The Jersoun," "Who taughte and
first he folwed it himselve," took
Chaucer in the spirit of a prophet, for
the occasion and attributed to that dis
tinguished author the fact that he had
characterized the modern college stu
dent in the four year development of
his characteristics.
