Pay Cut Fees and Go in Annual VOLUME XIII FOOTBALL PLAYERS ARE GIVEN AWARDS FOR PIGSKIN DEEDS The Presentations Are Made by Dr. Ott, Graduate Manager, in Chapel December 20 SEVEN STARS AWARDED Seven Also Get Letters For the First Time—Scrubs Receive Honor able Mention. The chapel period on Monday, Decem ber 20 was a memorable occasion to the football squad. Dr. Charles N. Ott, Graduate Athletic Manager made the presentation of letters and stars to the men who qualified for them during the 1926 season. Dr. Ott emphasized the high spots of the season in a very clear manner. Though Guilford won only two games this season, she made herself felt in all the games. Much credit was given to the work done by the whole squad. There are always men who make the team what it is but do not play in any game during the season. There are men who play in the games but do not qualify for honors on an occasion such as this was. The scrubs make the team what it is. Through cooperation within themselves and with the men who make the team, the scrubs deserve all praise and honor for their consistent service throughout the season. The men, who, through consistent play, hard work, and ability, make the team, play the games and receive the glory, really are only the product of the lowly scrubs. These are the ones who received special honors by the award of Varsity G's and stars as rec ognition of their worth to the school. The men receiving stars for their second, third and fourth years on the varsity were Captain Murray White, Captain-Elect Walter Robertson, Ray Parrish, Wade Lindley, Hardin Kim rey, Henry Tew and Cranford Hoyle. The men who received letters as recog nition of their first year on the Guil ford team were Kenneth Beatty, Howard Trivette, Reginald Marshall, Raymond Ebert, Bryce Neese, Turner Moon, and Robert Griffin, the able manager of the 1926 season. SAMUEL HAWORTH TALKS ON TWO KINDS POVERTY Professor Samuel Haworth used as the theme of his chapel talk Thursday morning an ancient prayer,—"Give me not poverty nor riches." Professor Haworth pointed out that we should all dread poverty, and should try to make and save all we can honestly. Professor Richard Dealy said there are two kinds of poverty: "lack of goods for the higher wants, and lack of wants for the higher good." The latter is more to be avoided. We should strive to be independent, have enough of the earthly goods so as to be comfortably cared for without losing our desire for the higher spiritual things of life.

GLEE CLUB TAKES ON SOME NEW LIFE The Club Prepares For Coming Engagements After Series of Unfortunate Setbacks NO STUDENT DIRECTOR The Glee Club is at last getting down to serious work. A concert seven weeks in the future and a heavy season be ginning only a short time afterwards necessitate some hard work for all those in any way responsible for the work ing up of the program. With the ex ception of the concert at which Mr. Mil ler can be present the programs this year will be given without direction. The program this season will be di vided into two groups, the first group being entirely sacred music and all chorus work. The solo and special num bers will appear in the second group with the secular music. The program will contain more familar tunes and melodies than it has in previous seasons. It is thought that the entire program this year will be much superior to pre vious ones.

MID-TERM PROGRAMME ARRANGED BY FACULTY January 22 Has Been Arranged For the Opening Day of Final Ex amination Week January 22 is an important (lay for Guilford students. Exams begin. Realizing that the faculty has spent quite a bit of time making out the ques tions, the students have decided to spend an equal amount of time in prep aration, although this seems useless since daily recitations have been above the average and all written work has been handed in on time. The History students regret very much that, their term papers are about to be completed. This part of their course has been so pleasant that Mr. Tinsley is requested to assign more such papers the next semester. PayrCut Fees and Annual Goes in PLEA FOR A UNITED QUAKERDOM BEFORE THE LOCAL FRIENDS Passmore Elkington, Philadel phia Friend, Tells of Hoped For Amalgamation ARE 57 VARIETIES NOW Speaks in Chapel on the Prosperity of America and the Problems to Be Faced in the Future In a meeting at the chureh Sunday afternoon, January 9, Mr. Passmore El kington, of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, made a striking talk in which he pointed out some of the differences and likenesses of the "57 varieties of the peculiar people called Quakers."" He announced an all American Friends Conference to be held in the next two or three years, summoning all Quakers to forget their petty differences in the great task of giving America and the world a pure Christianity. Mr. Fllkington lias travelled widely over the United States, and so has had a great opportunity of observing the situation of the Society of Friends in the United States. Mr. Pilkington said that Guilford has a right to be proud of her history, and that the colleges were the salvation of Quakerism. There are in the United States 12 Yearly Meetings which make up the Five Years Meeting, with a membership of 80,000; six small conservative meetings, 4,000; seven Hicksite meet ings, 20,000; and three free-lance in eeti n gs—ls,ooo. In these meetings are many degrees of Quakerism, from the conservative element to the extreme Hicksites, but they have much in common, and now is the time for Quakers to come to gether. Many of the leaders of Christianity are pointing to the Quakers as its savior in the coming generations. Dean Inge, of St. Paul's in London, lias said that the Friends have the purest Christian ity among modern denominations, so that if the Quakers will learn a confi dence in and a trust of one another, they can do a work 110 one else can do in revealing Christ to the future generations. .T. Passmore Elkington, a prominent business man of Philadelphia, spoke in chapel here on last Saturday morning. Mr. Elkington, in telling of the rapid developments which this country ha. undergone in the past few decades said: "America has only begun to he built; her resources have just been adequately opened and the materials "d tools for building a nation are only now proper ly available. In three more genera tions, even without immigration there will be twice as many people in America as today. It is the duty of all citizens to make this country free for these coming generations. "lii the days of old when the Israelite spies investigated the Promised Land, all expressed a fear of the giants found in that country, except Joshua and Caleb, who said that even these mon sters could be conquered with God's help. "Today giants are abroad in our land: giants of ignorance, race prejudice, and commercial ill-feeling between eapi tal and labor." Mr. Elkington asked the question, "What can we do to rid America of these giants?" And an swered with these words, "An ordinary life faithfully executed with God as n guide will do the most to help America for the future." From the mistakes of others a wise man corrects his own.
