THE GUILFORDIAN VOL. XII. COLLEGIATE PRESS GROUP MEETS AT CHAPEL HILL IN THREE GAY SESSION JF. N. Keener of Durham Herald Delivers Main Address—Next Meeting to be field at Guilford The tenth semi annual session of the North Carolina Collegiate Press Associa tion was held at Chapel Hill last Thursday. Friday ami Saturday. Three Gui'fordiar • were present, namely Edwin Bro'vn, editor-in-chief of the paper; Murray White, business man ager and Joseph Cox of the reportorial staff. It was voted at this session to hold the next meeting, which convenes the first of May, at Guilford. The purpose of the Association is to meet and discus the problems that confront the different college publica tions of the state. There were about twenty publications represented at this conference. Thursday evening W. N. Keener. Editor, of the Durham Herald, spoke on the numerous possibilities in the newspaper I'fe. The rr-.-einr' of the sessions wc.e taken up largely by dis- | cussion groups where ideas and sug gestions were exchanged. The general discussion centered around the ques tion of the censorship of the college pres=. The co -sensus of opinion was j that any strict censorship of a col lege paper tended to destroy the worth and purpose of the publication. Although realizing the mistakes of youth, it was declared that students should be allowed to express their opinion on general campus topics. The students finance and edit the col lege papers and, therefore, should be given a right to state their views through the medium of their own paper. Many of the publications of the state are free from strict censor ship and these seem to be the most progressive and prosperous. \ resolution was adopted by the Association asking the Faculties of of the colleges of the state to give more freedom to the student editors so far as this freedom does not hurt the college or the morale of the student body. Friday night the • delegates were (Continued on page 2.) MISS AGNES TIERNEY VOICES FAITH IN THE YOUTH OF THE WORLO "I feel a sense of reverence in the ; presence of youth because I am stand ing in the presence of the future." , This was the opening remark of Agnes M. Tierney, a Philadelphia J teacher and young peoples' leader who [ spoke in Chapel Tursday morning. In speaking of our modern civiliza tion, Miss Tierney compared it to a giant who cannot be controlled, and she spoke of the modern industrial world as crushing and killing the souls j of people destroying all traces of ! individuality. Miss Tierney made a special appeal to the young people that they should j leave everything behind but the fu- I ture. "Tie great task of changing the world is \ours" said Miss Tierney. "It is easier to change the world than we realize. Japan has changde re- j markably in the last twenty-five years, j In a short time the United States j f*' a:\lel education, adopted pro hibition and many other timely mea sures." Miss Tierney, in closing, expressed a hope that the young people of America would revolt against the old conventions and carve out a new order i of things for the future generations. "The young people are the power house of the future" said Miss Tier ney. "They must help, through , strength and power of consecration to 1 the Master, in bringing out a new and better age." | CAST OF CHARACTERS. ♦ ♦ t "ADAM AND EVA" t T Mr. King Hardin Kimrey T E ya Josephine Paul •• Julia Chandos Kimrey •• | + Clinton Walter Brown Y, T Aunt Abby Doris Tew ♦ Maid Esther Reece " i Doctor Delmater ....

This place will remain open j for the present until someone qualifiies I for Several classical pieces have been selected by the Club and practice will j commence on them at once. The first section will be made up of religious chorus selections and classical \ 'do-. One of these chorus selections will be sung in Latin. The middle section will be of a lighter nature than the first and will include some orchestra selections and light negro nieces. The third section will embody classical chorus pieces and some i specialty music numbers. The Club is expecting to take i another Eastern trip this spring. Prior | to this there will be many evening en gagements in neighboring communities.

LITTLE MARY CATHERINE ADDED TO FACULTY LIST The faculty roll has been increased | by one, in the arrival of Little Mary Catherine, whom the stork left at the j home of Prof, and Mrs. Milton C. j Davis last Tuesday. She has been classified as a faculty member because she is not yet a sutdent and since she j is in the home of a member of the j | faulty, she would more naturally fall j under this classification'than any other that could be brought to mind. Her \ arrival is of no little interest to the j j student body as this is the first time j l in the memory of any student here | that the faculty list has been enlarged jin this manner. GUILFORD COLLEGE. N. C., NOVEMBER 18, 1925 PERSONNEL CHOSEN FOR ORAM A, "ADAM AND EVA" i (.as! Ready To Do Intensive Work Practice To Start Soon One of the main features of the year will be the fall play "Adam and Kvi," noted for it- former appearances! i 1 New York and other large cities, j I Alumni and friends of Guilford who j 'rer.ember the instantaneous hit that 'Clarence" made, will enjoy "Adam I and Eva" because it is much the | same Ivpe of play—based on intricate 1 situations and clever dialogue. The he roine Eva, is a very in lluential, aristocratic society girl who j can twist her father around her finger) j and also captivate the hearts of all j young men. Josephine Paul, who takes i this part, shows a native aptitude and manages to wheedle even as irascible | and worried a person as Mr. King out | ,of his grouchy temper. Mr. King, the over-worked father I is being played by Hardin Kim-ey I and already at first rehearsal, Hardin lis showing promise of becoming so ! irritable and ill-tempered that tile j en ire household, with the exception of Uncle Horace, stands in awe of him. he maid, Corinthiz, played by Zs:her Reece, makes homelife com fortable for Mr. King. I'ufus Smith, erstwhile Uncle j Ilu ace, is a confirmed invalid, who Ii > the right to all easy chairs in the house anil by claiming to have in somnia manages to overbear all the family gossip. Julia and Clinton are the loving married couple who manage, by rely ing on their own society and "father's" income, to find the world quite a nice j i place in which to live. Julia is in | :erested in society and club work; Clinton is wrapped up primarily in him elf. Chandos Kimrey will play the part of Julia and Walter Brown will be the well dressed Clinton. Lord Andrew, an impoverished English nobleman, spends the greater part of his lime visiting the King J home, showing a most decided inter est in Eva. Wilmer Steele has con- j tracted the English brogue for this > part and says "doncher know" and ; I "this is jolly fine'' with exceptional i i' .--e. Doctor Del mater, played by Paul I 'land, spends much of his time attend ; ing Uncle Horace and incidentally Eva. Aunt Abbv, played by Doris Tew. i- the housekeeper for the King family, 1 casts her interests instead in Clubs, S >cieties and such things. She delights i talking of her lessons in memory J! two hundred and twenty-five dollars (Continued on pace 4.) GUILFORD CAGERSPROVE TOO FAST FOR DRAPER "Y" Quaker Pre-Season Team Pierces the Hoop For a Count of 39 Points The Guilford College pre-season j basketball team left Saturday at 12:30 for Draper, North Carolina, where the;, played the Draper Y. M. C. A. ; | a swift game of basketball. The Guilford team was handicaped i Jin the first half by the absence of ".■■hirt" Smith, who was out of the game on account of a sprained ankle. The game started with Stanley j Moore playing center, French Smith j and Walter Brown forward and Charles Coble and Paul Coltrane guard. At the end of the first half the score was nearly tied. "Shirt" Smith ! took his regular place as forward and J the Guilford men gave a demonstra- j ! tion of real team work and soon ran I up the score. When the last whistle blew the score was 39 to 19 in favor cf Guilford. Those who made the trip besides their regular lineup were, Robert Griffin, Byron Haworth, Bradley Russ ell, Charles Robertson and Professor D. Riley Haworth. GUILFORDIANS AGAIN MAKE BATTLEGROUND PILGRIMAGE Annual Hike One Of The Best Social Events Of The Year Agai l an annual event has passed .nto history. The battleground hike has come and gone. Nathanael Greene j lias sat serenely upon his horse of | bronze anil his keen eyes have peered j from beneath his massive brows while I Guilford's "beauty and her chivalry" I passed in review on either side. In I front of him was the virgin with the J olive branch; but for those who were loth to accept there rested the brass cannon wlioes adamantine lips speak a mute but well known language. Thus Greene stood in person when the 'ordly Cornwallis essayed to climb lite heights; thus his likeness has stood while how many Guilford parties have ; made the annual pilgrimage to this historic site? j Again the thick woods have echoed the sportive cries and shouts of pulsating youth, a indeed they echoed I :he rattle and crack of musketry and the battle cries of American patriots "id seasoned British Dragoons, on the fifteenth of March, seventeen-eighty-one. Mayhap Dan Cupid had his cross-bow out and spent the afternoon in his eTorts to get in range of the wary youth of our old Quaker institution. Perhaps some of the laughter and I leasantry that echoed and re-echoed was the results that he secured when his darts flew wild or struck without inflicting the wound that would stay. 1 At any rate the weather vied with its record of last year in an effort to pro duce a matchless day—and succeeded, j The students were out en masse anil upon arrival, deployed to fight again the contest that meant so much in the life of the new nation and perhaps to tight conversational battles, that they 'tail been amassing forces in reserve for. throughout these many weeks of school. As in the manv ti"'es in the pa s t. | Miss L.ouise was along to take care of "her girls." She set up her head | quarters by the campfire, which was. , ':\ the way. where a doze i campfires i have been made on a dozen similar annual festive occasions. It was to t Iter, and to this spot, that all gathered late i i the afternoon, at the sound of I a bugle (on Professor Smith's Ford), "i f re the annual "BOW WOW Roast" Do tor Perisho narrated the manoeuver .;i£ of Greene and Cornwallis before and after the battle of Guilford Court house, and told the story of the con i ''id itself. It was a lesson in history tin s enjoyed vastly more than t could have been if it were given (Continued on pace 4.) "BRAINS, BOOKS. BUILDING" NAMED A SCHOOL'S NEEDS Doctor Robertson Gives A Short Disseration On Schools In Gen TO! j Professor A. P. Robertson, of the Baptist Theological So inary. Louis ville, Ky. delivered an addict at chapel ion Wednesday morning, I over. '>er 11. Doctor Robertson opened his talk by reading a portion of the eleventh chap ter of Matthew, taking the twenty ninth i verse as the basis of his talk: "Take ! imy yoke upon you, and learn of me; , for I am meek and lowly in heart: anil jye shall find rest into your souls." : "The yoke," he began, "as is spok- 1 en of in this verse, means school." He then presented this school as ! Christ's school centering his remarks around this. j Tn bringing his remarks down to the i persent day meaning of school he said "'the main requisites of school are J brains, books and buildings," J "Some of the things which we learn from Christ's School" said Doctor Robertson are "sympathy, skill, pati ence and high standards of living." Dr. Robertson read directly from the Greek New Testament. MISS MITCHELL GIVES CONCERT AT MEMORIAL Xoteil Soprano Pleases Audience With Variety oj Songs Frances Burr Mitchell, noted so prano, of Boston, Mass., was heard in concert i'l Memorial Hall on Wednes day evening, Nov. 11, 1925. Miss Mitchell is gifted with a voice of exceptional quality. The effortless manner with which she sang showed the ski'lfulness of her teacher, the famous Graggiotti, under whom she has studied in both Italy and America. Miss Mitchell's program was com posed of the most varied songs, rang ing from the early classics to music of the modern composers. She sang a number of French and Italian songs all of which showed almost perfect diction. Her interpretation of the French songs, '"D'Une Prison," by Schlesinger and "Printemps Nouveau," by Vidal, captured the audience. Also the group of old French songs, arrang ed by Weckerlin, was immensely en joyed. From her English groups the artist received great applause from her audience. Outstanding among t: c-e groups were Huerter's "Private Dreams" and "The Last Hour," by Kramer. In response to the demand for encores, Miss Mitchell sang "The Birth Of Morn," by Leoni, "The Cuckoo," by Liza Lahmen, and Fisher's '• Sit tin" Thinkin." (Continued on pae 2.) QUAKERS TO BATTLE THE MILLIGAN COLLEGE TEAM IT ill Probably Be The Last Game Of The Season Saturday afternoon the Guilford foot ball team will enter the lists in hos tile territory against the Milligan Col lege team, near Johnson Cit, Tenn er. ee. This will be probably the last la-re of the year. Although a game had been arranged with Lenoir-Rhyne, t is now under question and proably will not be played. Little is known here of the Milligan College team. From all indications and from their enrollment, (which by the way is about three hundred), they -diould have a football team that would rank fairly well with their sUter Chris tian institution, E!on College. This reason Mi'ligun was 'e f ;ated by the Lenoir-Rhyne n by a score of 10 to 6: the Milligan Christians ee also belt n by King (College with a score of 14 to 0 whereas King Col 'ce on'v defntel Fl n by a 6 to 0 score. In turn Elon won over Guil ford by a 6 to 0 score. From these figures it seems likely that a pretty evenly matched contest is hooked for t c Saturday affair at Johnston City. However this may be, the Quakers l-e "loaded for sompin' bigger'n quail, and ar' countin' on cuttin' another notch in'r gun stock Sat'd'y night." iGLEE CLUB PERSONEL First Tenors Edwin Brown Paul Holt French Holt I Edwin White Hendrickson Second Tenors Byron Haworth El wood Peele Morris Trotter Howard Trivette Strickland Baritones Hardin Kimrey June Lineback Fred Thomas Roscoe Adams I Howard O.
