In fact, every where about the campus familiar things are memories. For ages the same thing has been said at the opening of a new school year, but this fall one feels that the inevitable alteration is more than ordinary in scope. The fac ulty is apparently stronger than any since the days when Guilford used to put out state championship football teams. There is a sys tem of athletics affecting every stu dent and a united music depart ment supplanting the discordant one of past years. Not only in the faculty have no ticeable changes been made but also in the equipment of dormito ries and campus. Third floor of Founders has been renovated with new floor and paint. Archdale has been reconditioned and a boys' club room is under construction. A cen tral heating plant and brick smoke stack for freshman numerals is to take the place of the old power house." The campus has been sat urated with light poles facilitating tree dates and the senior lamps greatly beautify the front of Founders. The library columns and porch are to be torn away and rebuilt at an early date, etc. Never have so many changes taken place within so short a space of time. Guilford certainly must lo entering upon the most impor tant' year of her work and if she is able to adjust herself to her added power and load, considera ble progress will be made. Unity is a thing we have lacked. Unity is a thing we must have. ++- Student Government Youth usually fails to appreci ate conservatism. Age usually fails to appreciate progressively intend ed alterations. That is an eternal conflict. This paper has been guilty of the former at various times and now wishes to commend and indorse the policy of those connected with the sentiment to modernize the present form of student government. They have taken that sane attitude of abiding by the present until a new and adequate proposition can be offered. It is up to the student body to dispel the prevailing idea that prep school rules are needed for Guilford students, by acting as college students. You may con sider the present system a failure or jm insult, but back it until the maturity of intelligent sentiment has been reached and the drafting of a new form for the approval of all concerned has been accom plished. NOAH NEW HEAD OF MUSIC DEPARTMENT (Continued from Page One) Under the direction of Mr. Noah, the Guilford College Women's Chorus has been definitely organized for the com ing year. The organization has a more complete foundation and a more con structive and definite program in view than at any time in its history. Thirty of the best voices were se lected from the fifty who tried out. The personnel of the club is as fol lows: First sopranos—Mary Reynolds, Katherine Owen, Sudie Cox, Blanche Spencer, Elizabeth White, Myray Gam ble, Josephine Paul, Esther Reece; sec ond sopranos—Thelma King, Myra Vickery, Mildred Friddle, Lola Monroe, Dela Shore, Ferris Jones, Virginia Saun ders; first altos—Edna Wafford, Vir ginia Ilauser, Esther Lindley, Eunice Lindley, Annie Stanley, Sara Edgerton; second altos—Espie Neece, Pauline Mc- Bane, Evelyn Braxton, Ora Melvin, Berta Hollady, Nadine Harris. At the first meeting of the club, Wednesday night, September 21, the following officers were elected: President, Sara Edgerton; secretary. Josephine Paul; treasurer, Mary Reyn olds; vice-president, Esther Reece; li brarian, Esther Lindley. The business managership of the organization will be provided for at a later meeting. The highest type of music will be sung, and regular rehearsals will be held every Wednesday night from 7:05 till 8:05 under the direction of Mr. Noah. With its reorganization this year the girls' glee club is taking a new lease on life. Since it has been put on a new basis Ave may expect it to form an important and constructive part of the extra-curricular activities of the college. Such an organization merits the attention of every student of Guil ford College and their cooperation in backing it. The club plans to give its home con cert sometime this winter, after such miscellaneous recitals in nearby towns as may seem desirable. NEW POWER HOUSE, RENOVATED HALLS, IMPROVES COLLEGE (Continued from Page One) on the building: that is, unless the chemistry lab classes prove more than usually destructive. A new and far more durable as well as attractive system of lights has been installed on the campus. Instead of the old fragile and incongruous bulbs strung over the paths, we have stable post lights. The bulbs are enclosed by opaque panes of glass in a simple lantern design, and when they are lighted over the campus the effect is artistic as well as utilitarian. Tf, as Doctor Binford reminded us in chapel, people always feel them selves finer in the midst of beautiful surroundings, we must hail the new im provements as desirable and splendid, not only materially, but spiritually and aesthetically as well. Announcement Esther and Carey Reece wish to thank the students and the faculty for the sympathy shown them in the hours of their bereavement caused by the death of their mother, Mrs. Miles Reece. THE GUILFORDIAN FRESHMAN EPISTLES Guilford College, N. C., September. 25, 1927. Dear Pa, It is Sunday down here and I am so lonesome that I can hardly live, like usual. Well, I reckon the boys are all right; they have treated me pretty good, but it is not like home, Pa, you know that. There is so much excite ment here, Pa, that an ordinary man could not stand it. Do you know what they did the other night? Well, I'll tell you. I was in my bed sleeping sound, when, behold, about eleven o'clock something went blam! blam! Then a great noise took place. In walked two sophs and squalled, "Rats out.'' Pa, there are people down here they call sophs. I got up, and there they stood looking me face to face. I told 'em I hadn't done nothing, but they said I would have to go to a rat dance—that is something that one ""of (lie boys said was glorious, but I ain't said it yet. Well, they lined us up, and we had to represent our towns. Then we had to hoof it over to Founders where we showed 'em how bright we were. After a little foot race, Ave went down to the gym—that is where the boys play basketball and rhe girls, too— well, ah Pa, they had some laws which Ave must obey. I reckon they had been approven by the governor. When we came to our dormitory, the place where Ave sleep, Pa, there was a cloud burst; it rained Avater by the tub fulls, and it Avas cold too. But, lucky for me, I ] didn't get Avet. After I went back to bed at three o'clock and Avent to sleep, some fool exploded some dynamite and Avoke me up again. That is the kind of a place it is. Oh, Pa, I like to forgot to mention about our skipping. We S skipped one Avhole day, and the next AA'C Avere given the honor of carrying I our suitcases Avith us Avherever Ave Avent. J Well, at the postoffice it .ooked like a I bus station. You knoAV last summer Avhen I blistered my heel for not haA'- I ing a shoe string, -well, that's nothing. We Ave lit Avithout shoe strings a AVIIOIO day and never dreamed of blistering | our heels. You know they have nick- I named me doAvn hei;e, and I don't like I it. I could Avrite a big book on one- ' tenth of Avhat I have already experi- ! enced here, if I just had time. Well. I must close. You remember me, Pa, and tell brother to study hard. Pa, if I see anything doAvn here that has had anything to do Avith evolution I Avon't have anything to do with it. Tell ma not to worry OA'er her son, for I am p good boy. If nothing happens I'll be at home again in a feAv days. Your loA'ing son, JOHN, j P. S. I spent all that money for books J and paper, and I need some more. Pa. ! if you have it to spare, please send me j about five dollars as spending money. M- TAYLOR IS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF KATS (Continued from Page One) The adoption of class colors, motto, the election of a freshman representa tive to the student council Avere post poned until the regular time for class meeting. September 23 a call meeting of the freshman class AA'as held for the pur pose of electing a member to the stu dent council. Glenn Robinson and Mark Buick Avere nominated. Buick AA'as elected, but Robinson AA'as once again very nearly elected to office. ►+* PAT CRAWFORD BEGINS HIS DUTIES AS COACH (Continued from Page One) left end, Avliere he has played before. Cannon, who played center in the Elon game and others last year, looks good for that position. Others showing up Avell are Wildman, Pate, Chisholm, backs, and Cheek, I. NeAvlin, Wray, along Avith others, in the line. It is believed that Coach Crawford Avill put on the field a strong team when it meets its first opponents at Roanoke September 30. HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS THREE-ACT COMEDY The Cast Is Well Chosen Since Each Character Appeared Typical of the Role Which He I'layed "Cupid Scores a Touchdown," a comedy in three acts, presented by the Guilford high school, and coached by Wilmer Steele, of Guilford College, made a hit Avhen presented at Memo rial Hall Saturday night before the stu dent body. The cast Avas Avell chosen, each character being typical of the role played. Mrs. Daniel Connor, played by Mary Hodgin, A\'as AA'ithout a tIaAV. She por trayed the misery inflicted upon one by being forced into society. Alethia Thomas, impersonated in Bet ty, maid to Mrs. Connor, can not be excelled in such a part. Edna Coble, as Mrs. Belden-Grey, played the part of an English tutor to perfection. The English characteris tics Avere obvious in this character. Nellie Wheeler played the part of Mrs. Angelica McNulty, Mrs. Connor's married daughter, as any experienced actress would do. Irene Thomas, in the role of Beatrice Comton, of Central Park, West, Avas an excellent character. Lena FarloAV Avon her fame in the role of Dulcy Connor, a genuine "Irish rose." She portrayed the beauty and splendor of the typical young girl. Stanley Comton, a college athlete, was played by John Reynolds, who found his Avay into the heart of Dulcy. Barton Hawby, alias Reece Coltrane, showed the diplomatic scheming of a young politician. Gladys Fluttermore, played by Fran ces Page, Avas an extremely live wire. Allan Wrigley, "Chubby," a jolly good sport, played by Patrick Sturat, gave the ginger and pep to the play. The scene throughout the entire play was laid in the liA'ing room in the Connor apartment in upper NeAv York. The synopsis: Act I, the kick-off; Act IT, the scrimmage, tAvo weeks later than the first act; Act 111, the touchdoAvn, only a feAv days later than the second act, Avas Avell figurated throughout the play. Everyone Avas pleased Avith the per formance. College girls Avill be the film stars of the future, according to Mr. Carl Laemmle, noted HollyAvood producer. The knell of the "beautiful but dumb" variety of motion picture star has been sounded. The college girl is to be the star of the future. She has a cultiA'ated mind and personality is at a premium in the pictures as it is in every department of life.—Exchange. ■ " " ■ —v# FRAYRTALRRLFFG QUALITY JEWELERS" GREENSBORO, N. C.
