Ask Santa Claus for Annual Money VOLUME XIII Seven Keys to Baldpate Thrills College Audience S. MOORE IS STAR Fall Play Is Received With More Enthusiasm Than Any Recent Local Production ENTIRE CAST IS STRONG An Atmosphere of a Professional Play Pervades Entire Performance and Audience is Appreciative The annual fall play was presented by the Dramatic Council Saturday eve ning, December 11, before a large audi ence. This play "Seven Keys to Baldpate," was full of thrills and exciting adven tures of many descriptions. The entire cast was strong, and the performance was received with more enthusiasm than any recent production. Stanley Moore, as William Hallowell, the novelist, was the star of the evening. Throughout the many thrilling episodes, the calm and cool head which Mr. Moore was successful in keeping always turned the tide of action in his favor. The caretakers of the Inn, Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Quimby, alias Reuben Bun dy and Annie Wagoner were well re ceived by the audience. The moun taineer-like disposition of Mr. Quimby and the fear of ghosts on the part of his wife created many hearty laughs during the performance. Ira Newlin in the character of Peters the Hermit made those from the young-, est to the oldest shiver with the expect ancy of approaching mystery. His fa cial expression was particularly an out standing feature which forwarded his success as a real hermit. Mary Norton, the heroine, as Ruth Farlow, won her way into the hearts of her audience through the modest man ner in which she captivated the heart of the novelist.

DAVIS Prof. Franklin Davis Discusses Life of the Late ex-President of Harvard University LIVED FOR THE FUTURE Professor Franklin C. Davis paid trib ute to the late Dr. Charles Eliot in a talk in chapel Wednesday morning. Several months have passed since the death of Dr. Eliot, but they have served only to accentuate the terrible gap left in our public life. No other man in prominence today speaks with a voice of wisdom and authority equal to that which Dr. Eliot has exercised in social, political, economic, and educational cir cles for the last seventeen years. The law of his life guiding influence, his sound, enlightened judgment on public affairs is an inestimable loss to the in tellectual America. President of Harvard when he was only thirty-five, Dr. Eliot revolutionized much of the existing educational system, first in his own university, and then throughout the United States. He intro duced the elective system and placed graduate work, especially that in medi cine and law, on new levels of scientific requirement and public service. After Dr. Eliot's retirement from the presi dent's chair, he devoted the last seven teen years of his life to study and to consideration of public problems. Dur ing these years he became America's sage, speaking wisely 011 almost all ques (Continued 011 Page Two) DR. PERISHO TELLS OF CONVENING CONGRESS Dr. Elwood C.

THE YOUNG QUAKERS HOLD MEETING HERE Plans Are Made For the Expan sion of the Society of Friends in North Carolina TO HOLD A CONVENTION The executive board of the Young Peoples Activities of the North Carolina Meeting of Friends met Thursday even ing, December 9, in the basement of New Garden church at Guilford college for a banquet and business meeting. At this get-to-gether plans were discussed and formulated by the different officers and quarterly secretaries present, which will be of great significance to the devel opment and progress of the Quaker Church of North Carolina. Mrs. Edith Hill Hendrix, secretary of the organization, stated in few words, the effort North Carolina Yearly Meet ing of Young Friends was making to get the Eastern Young Friends Conference at Guilford college next summer. There has been some objection to this plan by some of the Northern Friends due to the fact that the Five Years Meeting will be held this summer and because of two or three more conferences that are to be held. The members of the board, however, appointed Charles Co ble, who is president of the Young Friends activities in North Carolina, to meet with a committee in Philadelphia during the Christmas holidays to defi nitely arrange for the conference if at all advisable. The program for the year, which is to be carried out before August, 1927, was briefly stated by Byron Ilaworth, field secretary. Mr. Ilaworth stated that whether or not North Carolina succeed ed in getting the Eastern Young Friends Conference she was going to have the greatest Conference for Young Friends ever held in North Carolina. Further, he stated that a progressive program was being planned. Not a quarterly meeting is to be held without a quarter ly conference for the young people. New Christian Endeavor societies are to be organized. Agitation is to begin now for a bigger and greater conference in 1927. President Charles Coble, act ing as toastmaster, effectively intro duced the speakers for the evening. He also mentioned the need of an execu tive library to which all the officers might go for information concerning their tasks, and Miss Mary Osborne was appointed librarian. President Coble emphasized the importance of field work and stated that advertisement for the conference must begin immediately. He also urged that all the secretaries be prompt in answering all mail. A con ference committee was appointed com posed of Mrs. Hendrix, Byron Haworth, and Mildred Blackburn, to begin plans for the 1927 conference.

Quaker Short 58 Subscriptions MADAME PQNAFIDINE TELLS STORY OF HER SOVIET RUSSIAN LIFE Gives An Account of Her Es cape With Her Sons From Russia to Finland A SOCIETY HELPED HER Religion is Not Allowed to Be Taught to the Children, Who Are Consid ered the Property of the State Madame Pierre Ponafidine held the interest of her entire audience at Guil ford college Monday afternoon, Decem ber 6, 1926, in her lecture on "My Life in Soviet Russia." With a thrilling account of her escape with her two sons from Russia she por trayed the life of her own family and of many others. With all the property taken from them, they were forced to live the life of peasants. Cultivating the soil and being given one eighth of a pound of bread and two salt herrings daily for food. Madame Ponafidine and her family lived in the neighborhood of Petrograd and Moscow, under communistic govern ment, where everything was taken over by the state; children being considered the property of the state were not allowed to be taught any religion. Through the aid of a society, Madame Ponafidine made her escape with her two sons in 1922; suffering from cold, fatigue, and lack of food they traveled through snow storms at night to reach Finland. The period from 1917 to 1921 was con sidered by the speaker as a background for her remarks. She brought out vivid ly the conditions of ordinary living un der communistic control, conditions ex isting in the army and conditions as they affected agriculture, showing that all three suffered because of the doc trine of individual rights. The speaker lived long enough in Russia under such conditions she said to know a respect for the little boy's defi nition of salt: "It is the thing that makes potatoes taste bad if you don't put it on." In speaking of poor food and very little of that she paid a tribute to the humble seasonings because she and fellow sufferers had known the lack of it. In conclusion the speaker said that "Russia cannot prosper without God, communism must disappear." ►f. "ETIQUETTE" IS SUBJECT OF MRS. GLADYS TAPLEY Miss Gladys Tapley spoke in chapel Thursday morning on "Good Manners and Social Etiquette." She began by saying that, "Good man ners does not merely mean the use of knife and fork correctly, but the capac ity for doing the little things that make up grace and elegance." The word etiquette is of Freneh ori gin, and came into usage when the gar dens of Versailles were being laid, and the people walked on the lawns, causing the gardeners to put up signs against it, called etiguettes. Thus the word has developed even through literature. Scott's "Lady of the Lake" is a good example of grace, eloquence and court esy. Shakespeare used it 75 times in his plays. Not only social factors, but moral as well come in. "Abrupt speaking is stu pid. Try to apply the golden rule in your manners." A regular service of flying physicians and dentists is to cover thousands of square miles of inaccessible country in Australia. NUMBER 13
