sors For Decades Back and Every,
one Enjoys the Event
Friday evening, April 22, was the
event of a reception tendered the mem
bers of the Zatasian Literary Society
by the men of the Henry Clay Literary
Society. At 7:30 the marshal of the
Henry Clay Society conducted the Za
tasians to Memorial Hall, where they
and the members of the faculty were

and were entertained by an exceptional
ly fine program. The first number was
Henry Clay's "Monsieur" Compromise,
a mock senate, with Scott Parker as
Vice-President Dawes, presiding, and
Raymond Thomas acting as Secretary of
the Senate. Notable senators of Ameri
can History were present: Webster, per
sonified by Sidney Winslow; Borals im
personated by Edwin Rozell, and Henry
Clay acted by Byron Haworth. The
question under debate was the declara
tion of a war on China or Mexico. The
Republican senators advocated war with
China. The Democratic senators main
tained that war with Mexico would be
more satisfactory. Worth Mackie, giv
ing an excellent and highly entertaining
impersonation of Senator Perisho of
South Dakota, advocated peace, and

Good-Will the Magician Presented By
65 Children Directed by
Alice Hazard
W. STEELE THE CHIEF CHARACTER
A pageant, "Good-Will the Magician"
was presented by sixty-five children of
the primary and junior department of
the New Garden Sunday school, in
Memorial Hall Saturday night. The
play was directed by Miss Alice Hazard,
superintendent of the Junior Depart
ment.
"Good-Will," the leading character of
the play, was played by Wilmer Steele,
a magic balloon man beloved of all
children. "Good-Will," was the charac
ter about whom the play centered and
impressively presented that idea of
feeling between the nations. To make
this idea more outstanding children
from foreign countries, Japan, China,
Russia, Italy, Germany, England and
America in costume emphasized the
fact that all the children from each land
were brothers and sisters. To make the
world safe and free from the misunder
standings which leads to war the chil
dren said they must love each other.
The costumes for the different coun
tries were striking and authentic and
represented the true spirit of each coun
try. Each group played games and
sang songs characteristic of their coun
try, and in the final scene all the chil
dren of the nations gathered about
"Good-Will" and joined in singing a
good-will song.
The staging and costuming of the
play were colorful and attractive and
the delightfully spontaneous dancing,
singing and acting of the children at
tested the excellent direction and man
agement of Miss Hazard and her assist
ants.

reputation of securing popularity while

MAX REICH VISITS
GUILFORD CAMPUS
Max Reich, a prominent minister of
Philadelphia, spoke very fluently in the
Y. M. C. A. meeting Thursday evening
on the subject of "Prayer."
Mr. Reich read several portions of
scripture bearing on this subject and
bringing out the absolute necessity of
prayer. Each person should consider it
his individual duty to find some place
that he may be along with God each day
and there talk with Him as friend with
friend. It is only through prayer that
we can ever accomplish the best things
of life. As we search the scriptures we
can find place after place where people
have relied absolutely upon God through
prayer. In the life of Christ we can
find a perfect example of this because
he never lost sight of God. Today we
can always have God with us if it is
our earnest desire, but we must humble
ourselves before Him in prayer and
there ask Him for this helping hand
that we need so badly.
subject matter due to the short time
the stalf had to work, but according to
the publication companies it will be an
annual the students of Guilford College,
as well as friends of the college, will
appreciate. This publication will be one
of historical interest and of present day
interest.
"The Quaker" in its nearly finished
form has been compared with annuals
of other institutions which are also in
the process toward completion, and the
comparison is a favorable one.
A few extra copies have been ordered.
Those wishing copies should make their
applications at an early date.

LIBRARIAN TELLS OF
CHOSEN PROFESSION
Miss Tommie Dora Barker, a repre
sentive from the Library School con
nected with Emory and Henry, spoke in
chapel Friday morning in regard to
what library work offers as a profession
to the college boy and girl.
"The profession of librarianship,"
said Miss Barker, "offers all of those
characteristics that a college graduate
desires." Library work has a distinct
social value in that it contributes to
the stimulation of intellectual interest
in any community and offers means of
wholesome recreation.
A librarian must know the material
in the library, and organize it for those
who are seeking information, thus he
is constantly increasing his own knowl-
I edge.

Rain Interferes With Carolina Game.
Doak Says "No More Moral Victories"
and Team Starts Winning
Guilford seems to have hit her stride
now in baseball. Since the Quakers hit
the ball for a win over Elon college
on April 13 and knocked Briggs out of
the box in the fifth they have been
playing great baseball. Briggs was re
lieved by Fowler who held the Quak
ers to two hits and one strike out but
no runs. Coltrane pitched great ball
all the way through, got himself out of
the pinches admirably with the Quakers
winning 4-3. Coltrane had the edge on
Briggs and Fowler from the start and
won the approval of the crowd gathered
to witness the fray.
The next day Guilford journeyed to
High Point and played the High Point
Piedmont Leaguers at their home
grounds. Rabb and Whisenhunt pitch
ing for Guilford but losing 8-4. The
game was not without thrills though,
for Hendrickson stole home in the
eighth inning and Taylor exhibited
some great fielding once catching an al
most impossible drive down the foul
line.
Emory and Henry invaded Guilford
and lost the game on April 16, 6-2.
Rain caused the game to be called in
the last half of the eighth with Layton
scoring, one out and Parrish parked on
third base after a three bagger to right
field. This game was Guilford's first
diamond encounter in the Memorial
Stadium in Greensboro. Coltrane
pitched stellar ball as usual. The
Emory and Henry hurler was a little
wild, hitting four batters and present
ing five bases on balls.
Neese, Guilford's stocky catcher raised
the ball for a three bagger in the sec
ond inning and scored Gough. It was

GIRLS' CHORUS STAGES
A COLORFUL OPERETTA
"Feast of the Little Lanterns," Under
Direction of Dr. J. W. White, is
Very Entertaining
MISS JO PAUL PLAYS THE LEAD
The Guilford College Choral Society
appeared for its first performance this
year Wednesday evening in Memorial
Hall, presenting an operetta, "The Feast
of the Little Lanterns."
The operetta was of Japanese charac
ter. This character was well carried out
through the entire production in set
ting, costumes and action. The stage
was dressed in wistaria blossoms and
lighted lanterns artistically hung in an
arch effect.
The Chorus was balanced for the two
part arrangement of the operetta for
sopranos and contraltos. It well con
trasted the soloists, who were Chandos
Kimrey and Josephine Paul, sopranos,
and Isabella Jinnette and Espie Neece,
contraltos.
Josephine Paul and Isabella Jinnette
should receive special honors for their
splendid acting as well as singing. Miss
Paul beautifully interpreted the part of
jugglar and Miss Jinnette appeared best
in her solo with chorus "Tis a Ghost."
The production was directed by James
Westley White and artistically accom
panied by Mrs. Raymond Binford.
