ALICE HAZARD WINS THE
ZAY ORATORICAL AWARD
IN THE ANNUAL CONTEST
May 22—Miss Alice Blarche Hazard
of Union Springs, New York, won the
seventeenth oratorical contest of the
/atasi. n Literary Society, speaking on
the subject, "A Little Girl Shall Lead
Them." The prize was ten volumes of
Shakespeare. Miss Hazard's oration
was a plea for intenational pe'ce,
which must be brought about through
the education of children, for it will
be their task to outlaw war. Their
parents must first teach them good will
in the home, entirely abolishing race
prejudice. The schools must teach the
import; nee of internationalism and
world co-operation, through the spirit
of the school and the textbooks used.
The other speakers fo rtlie evening
were Miss Elizabeth Levering, who
spoke on "The Development of the
Juvenile Court" and Miss Bessie
Butler with an. oration entitled, "Suc
cessful Prohibition Through Teaching
Morals."
The judges for the contest were
Mr. Samuel Haworth, Mrs. Raymond
Binford and Mrs. Herbert Cole.

GUILFORD SUMMER SCHOOL
OPENS WEDNESDAY JUNE 9,
EXPECT GOOD ATTENDANCE
New Lake To Ee Used As
A Recreation Centsr
By Students
i'lans are developing in a pn aising
way f' r a good session this jear in
Gu'lfon! Summer Schio!. Already
al-out as i an. students have signified
tier ii lent inn of Heading as were
enrolled last year. Naturally a con
siderable enrollment comes in the last
few days, just preceding opening, as
the plans of students crystalize and
they come face to face with the summer
at d the work that awaits the .i in the
next college ye r. We expect there
fo:e a substantial increase in the en
.'oll—cnt this year over last.
An unusually strong faculty of teach
ers has been secured. Several of our
best teachers of last year are returing
ard in addition we have secured well
iu lified teachers in English, Educa
tion and Music.
A special feature of the school this
>ear which should be attractive alike
to the students and the community is
a weekly social and recreation event in
the form of a musical ever.ing, an
evening of games and stunts. The event
will probably come e ch Friday in the
cool of the evening. An offer has been
made the school whereby a well known
artist from Europe could visit Guil
ford. This is being considered and il
the community and students seemed
disposed to back such a project the
artist will be secured. There is no
reason why Guilford should not have
some real good music in the summer
months, and it would be doubly en
joyable in the splendid setting of our
beautiful college campus.
Another attraction will be the new
swimming pool. The students have
been working hard on it to have it
ready before leaving! To those who
are not familiar with the location of
the pool, perhaps a word about it would
be welcomed. Northeast of the cam
pus in the upper end of the valley,
where the farthest college well is situ
ated, ; n old earth dam has been in
place for many years. There has never,
however, been more than an earth
spillway or one made of poles, with
earth banked up. The result has been

GOD HAS A MISSION FOR
EAGH INDIVIDUAL STATES
CHESTER HAWORTH HERE
Mr. Chester C. Haworth, superin
tendent of the Burlington Ctiy Schools
spoke to the Guilford students Thurs
day morning, M y 20, on the subject,
"Choosing a Profession". Mr. Ha
worth has made a special s'.udy of this
subject and his remarks were of vital
interest to the entire student body.
"I believe more and more in the
doctrine that God has a mission for
each individual." began Mr. H worth,
■'and the finding this mission is the one
big problem in choosing one's life
profession or vocation." Finding one's
self is an essential thing in choosing
the right vocation. To do this we
must have faith not only in our selves
but in God and our fellow men.
Service is usually considered the
chief purpose of life, but Mr. Haworth
happiness as the moral purpose
of the universe, and the chief reason
for people being dissatisfied and un
happy is because they have not chosen
the right profession. Men may choose
