Secretary Kuth Lane
Treasurer Sudie Cox
Marshal Carrie Teague
The program for the Zatasians' meet
ing, November 5, consisted of four dif
ferent numbers. The first number was
a talk by Lillie O'Quinn on the place
of the article in modern periodicals.
She said that judging from representa
tive Guilfordian statistics boys read
more articles than girls and made the
especial jioint that if the girls would
really investigate the subject matter
and style of current articles they would
enjoy tlieni.
Katherine Owen read an original
short story entitled, "The Accident and
the Incident."
Maie Hollady gave Schuman's "Tra
nieri" as a violin solo for the society:
Esther Reece accompanied her at the
piano.
As the last number Berta Hollady,
Hazel Patterson, Annie Kate Neal,
Catherine Cox, and Ailene Beeson pre
sented a surprise stunt. It was in line
with the hunting season; "A Frolic of
the Rabbits" rudely interrupted by the
entrance of Ailene Beeson in hunting
togs, carrying a large sized gun.
In the course of miscellaneous busi
ness the recommendation of Sara Ed
gerton as a Guilfordian reporter from
the Zatasian Society was approved.
Professor Tinsley and Dr. Ott were
visitors, and Professor Tinsley spoke
to the members concerning the spirit
prevailing in society meetings.

Secretary Robert Ayres
Assistant Secretary .... William Ward
Treasurer Raymond Ebert
Marshal Reuben Bundy
The business transaction of the Web
sterian Literary Society, November 5,
was interrupted by a sudden knock on
the door. The Marshal responded and
presented to the president an invitation
from the Zatasian Literary Society in
viting them to their next regular meet
ing, Friday night, November 12. The
invitation was gladly accepted.
The following program was given:
Debate, "Resolved: that North Carolina
should have an eight months school
term, supported by a general property
tax." Ward and Johnson affirmed this
statement by illustrating the equality
of education for all children. The
negative speakers, Allen and Sink, at
tempted to repudiate the statement and
argued the burden of taxation. The
judges rendered a decision of two to
one in favor of the affirmative. The
closing number was a duet by Tew and
Atkinson.
Edward Moore and Wilbur Sherrel
cast their lots with the society.
POMONA DEFEATED
Fighting desperately, but hopelessly,
to the end, the Pomona high school
eleven went down in defeat before the
Guilford College second team 34-0 on
Hobbs field Wednesday afternoon. The
Quaker squad outplayed the Pomona
lads from the beginning, and at no
time was the outcome questionable.
When the first play was made Stanley
Moore, Guilford's fast left half, broke
loose for the first of the five touch
downs. Discouraged at such an early
score, the visitors seemed to lose their
fighting spirit and with ease the Qua
kers went down the field with straight
football and long end runs for another
touchdown and an extra point before
the whistle blew for the first half. The
last half was even more one-sided than
the first. The Guilford squad out
weighed their opponents considerably,
were faster and had much more expe
rience.

pointed to serve during the year: Pro
gram committee, literary committee,
finance committee, and athletic com
mittee.

bers of the class wanted a group pic
ture or individual pictures made for

THE GUILFORDIAN
Departmental Nights
Spanish and French Classes Give An
Entertainment
A very excellent program was given
by the French and Spanish Depart
ments, under the direction of Madame
Hoffman and Mrs. Rusack, 011 Wednes
day evening. The directors and the
members of the departments are to be
complimented 011 the success of the
evening.
For the first number on the program
the members of the French I classes
sang "Old Black Joe" in French.
The young ladies of the French II
class then presented a play, "The
Months and the Seasons." The scene
was laid in a schoolroom and the girls
were honoring their teacher's birthday.
The part of the teacher was taken by
Mabel Chappell. Miss Spencer presided
in the ceremonies.
The students of the Spanish depart
ment then presented "LaFonda Im
perial,'' or "The Imperial Inn." Lois
Atkinson and Naomi Myrick played the
parts of Theresa and Annetia and Joe
Cox very ably played the part of the
sick hero.
Naomi Myrick gave a Spanish song
which deserves special mention.
The advanced French class gave very
ably the play, "The Surprise of Isador."
Two young European men in the au
dience commented on the fine pronun
ciation and interpretation which Miss
Thomas and Mr. Davis gave their parts.
The closing number was a Spanish
dance by Misses Paul, Wilkinson, Jones
and Edgerton. They responded to the
hearty encore which the audience gave
them.
AUTUMN NIGHTS
When I'm a-sittin' in my room
A-shiverin' from head to feet,
I think of my people sittin' at home
Eatin' of good bone meat.
Apples and nuts 011 the table,
All' the wood-fire blazin' high,
I just feel of my poor ol' stomach
An' lets out a mournful sigh.
Mama is a-tellin' to little "Buddy"
Who's a-sittin' on her knee
The bed time stories that she used to
tell
A long time ago to me.
The dog is a-lyin' in fr'ont of the fire
Awaitin' and pinin' for me
For he knows of a possum so big an'
fat
Cuddled in an old hollow tree.
Once I didn't know it
But those cosy autumn nights
That 1 used to spend at home
Ilad a thousand real delights.
My 'magination's o' pictures
That keep dancing to and fro
Bringin' back the scenes o' gladness
That happened long ago.
But when I'm again my present self
And see what's confronting me
I resolve to fight for those I've left
And gain life's victory.
FRENCH IIOLT.
Into Historic Crevices
Many of us believe that Betsy Ross
made the first American flag in 177)!,
but the War Department has verified
(lie statement that the American Flag
waved for the first time over Fort Stan
wix. afterward named Schuyler. The
fort was built in 17-~>7 on the Mohawk
liiver near the present city of Rome,
New York.
The white stripes were cut from am
munition shirts, the blue from a cam
ulet cloak taken from the enemy at
I'iekskill. while the red stripes were
pieces of stuff obtained from the men
at the garrison. These various ma
terials sewed together resulted in the
original American flag.— The South
erner, Minneapolis, Minn.
Little Boy—Oh, Mother, guess what!
1 just saw a lady with great long hair
gathered up on a bump on top of her
head and held there with pieces of
bent wire.— Polaris Weekly, Minneapo
lis, Minn.
"The blest work of helping the world
forward happily does not wait to be
done by perfect men."— George Eliot.
COPIED COLLEGE
COLUMNS
An article in the Chronicle signed
Jinks Waggoner openly declares war
011 the attempted reforms of Albert H.
Cotton through the "Crows Nest." Ex
tracts from the article follow: "There
are many things in and around Duke
University that are not what they pos
sibly should or could be, but who in the
Hell is doing the criticizing.' You, Cot
ton, who I think is the biggest joke
of the college. You, who as far as I
know, have never contributed one
single deed or act to make this a bet
ter place."
The Collegian asks the question: "Do
you remember the proposition that the
greater the number of sides of a figure,
the nearer the figure approaches a cir
cle as its limit? We proved that by
geometry once. Why not prove it by
personal experiment ?"
"Education," says the Salemite, "is
not only preparation for life, but it is
living. When one's education is com
pleted there will be no grades to work
for, no marks to achieve, life is made
of greater deeds to accomplish, deeds
whose success depends not 011 grades
but 011 the way they have been done."
