KESTER SPEAKS ON
WORLD FELLOWSHIP
States That America Does Not
Have the Great Respect of
Nations as Formerly
RENAISSANCE IS NEEDED
Nov. 11—A fitting commemoration of
Armistice Day was the chapel talk Fri
day morning given by Howard Kester.
Mr. Kester is executive secretary of the
youth section of the Fellowship of
Reconciliation. We are met on the bat
tlefield of humanity to celebrate the
signing of the Armistice, the end of
tlxc war, which was to end all war and
institute international democracy and
good-will. That war, instead, created
more hate and strife and made enemies
out of friends. And now we must turn
and confront the world with love and
brotherhood. Civilization is commit
ting suicide and the masses are in de
spair. Some are rushing on in a wild,
gay life, full of personality because of
Western civilization. The one group
which has lived up to its religion is
tlie Society of Friends. America is not
the promising nation it was in the time
of Washington or Lincoln. The Amer
ican Eagle does not fiy so hi_rl l now,
tor its talons are filled with gold. We
have forsaken the principles and pre
cepts with which we started and for
this reason we have lost our reputation.
China once looked up to us as to the
hope of the world.
War is the result of economic forces.
A few are greedy for power and gold.
Cuba has iron and sugar that we want.
Also her position is good as a naval
base. Consequently the United States
went to war to get Cuba and the Phil
ippines, and she won them. War is
competition to secure natural resources.
We are drifting into another war. Mili
tary training, getting more and more
influence in schools and colleges, tends
to engender hate and strife. Shall we
return to savagery or resist the would
be rulers by international democracy?
Let us use the youth of today to bring
about a 20th century Renaissance.
The Russian youth are already look
ed up to, but the American youth need
to be imbued with the spirit of the
Renaissance four or five centuries ago.
We may follow the trail of .strife blazed
for us or a new trail of love and joy
and life. To be sure we must pay a
great price for freedom, but Christ and
Joan of Arc and others have set us
examples. Shall we follow the beaten
track of strife and hatred or shall we
blaze a new trail with a 20tli century
Renaissance?
Thomas Matthews, a student at Guil
ford college from 1888 to 1892, called to
see friends at the college recently. He
was returning to his home in Charlotte
from Roaring Gap Hotel. "Uncle Tom,"
as he was fondly called while at Guil
ford, has been a hotel man for a num
ber of years, and knows the traveler
from Murphy to Manteo.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., NOVEMBER 16, 1927
CAST WORKING HARD
ON FALL PRODUCTION
All the Characters for the Fall Play, Entitled "The Importance
of Being Ernest" Have Been Selected and Are Proceeding
With Rapidity and Are Approaching Perfection
Under Direction of Professor Furnas
Shades of Edwin Booth, John Barry
more and Sarah Bernhardt! A marvel
ous array of local talent such as man
has never seen before and may never
see again! And Oscar Wilde's, "The
Importance of Being Ernest," is the
vehicle for these Guilford satellites.
Mind you, this "Ernest" is not an ad
jective, but a proper name for two
proper men, (sometimes improper).
Wit and cleverness are the two out
standing qualities upon which the play
hinges; it is light but extremely inter
esting.
Jo Paul takes the part of Cecily Car
dew, an intelligent but unsophisticated
country girl of good family. Hannah
Griffin has a parallel role in Gwendolyn
Fairfax, who is a city girl and ultra
sophisticated. Opposite these are the
leading men, Ernest Scarboro and Rob
ert Biles, who take the jtarts of John
Worthing and Algernon Moncrief.
John Worthing, more familiarly known
as "Jack," is a rather serious-minded
chap; he has high ideals but still does
not lack a plentiful supply of humor in
his make-up. "Algy" is more on the
type of the blase, good-natured English
man, who takes everything as it comes
and is not exceedingly bothered as to
whether school keeps or not.
PROF. NOAH TO GIVE

FACULTY ENJOY PARTY
AT ODELL CLUB HOUSE
Three-Deep, Charades, and Expert Clog
ging of Purdom and Williams
Feature Evening
Nov. ft—On Wednesday the Faculty
turned out for a general good time at
the Odell Club House. Since the new
members of the Faculty were enter
taining the old. Professor Furnas offici
ated as master of ceremonies. For the
entertainment of the ladies the men
pitched horseshoes until dark, when
Hie large room of the club house be
came the center of attraction. Supper
was served when everybody had gath
ered around the two open fireplaces
at each end of the room. After supper,
stories were told by several gifted mem
bers while others listened and popped
corn. Three-deep and snake and cha
rades next claimed their attention. To
Sarah Edgerton is the up-to-date
aunt, Lady Bracknell, always on the
qui vive and quite capable of taking
care of anything or anybody. Miss
Prism, strait-laced and the exactly cor
rect and proper governess of Cecily,, is
portrayed by Deborah Harvey, and
we'll give you a tip right now that
she and one, Dr. Chasuble, eminent and
respected curate, played by Bunyon
Andrew, make things interesting, to say
the least. What is a play without a
butler? Well, there are two here, and
they give double the entertainment that
just one would furnish. Ira Newlin
and Harris Moore satisfy the proprie
ties to the peak of perfection, in the
parts of Lane and Merriman.
In this play we have action, heart
throbs, repartee, and humor which can
not fail to satisfy the most exacting
and discriminating taste. Young and
old, single and married, infirm and
able-bodied, all can come to this play
and see it with thorough enjoyment and
satisfaction. The cast is proceeding
with rapidity and acceleration and is
fast approaching the point of perfec
tion. We promise and assure you of
a noteworthy performance.

Draw Large Crowd of Students to
Enjoy Evening of Fun
HOME EC. COOKING EXCELLENT
Nov. ]2.—The Y. W. C. A. Bazaar was
held Saturday night in New Garden
Hall. The dining room was decked
out' beyond possible recognition with
leafy branches and bright crepe paper
streamers At one side of the room was
a cake and candy booth which couldn't
be seen, for the crowd around it, till
after the supply gave out. On the
other side was the novelty counter
which offered anything from squeal
ing cats to powder filled dolls and
ininature baby coaches. The Fishing
Pond was the center of interest for
the curious who for a consideration
were allowed to try their luck. Tables
were placed at becoming and conven
ient intervals over the remaining floor
space for the benefit of those desiring
cocoa, pie, ice cream and cake or sand
wiches as their circumstances demand
ed.
After the interests in the dining room
had been exhausted, general sociability
was in order until nine forty-five.

HIGH POINT COLLEGE
DOWNS QUAKERS IN
ARMISTICE DAY TILT
Quakers Carry Ball to the Ten-
Yard Line in First Quarter
But Are Unable to Score
ROBERTSON IS INJURED
Most Spectacular Play Was a Pass From
Parrish to Wildman Who Carried
the Ball 62 Yards
November 11.—Playing a clean-cut
brand of football, that at times smacked
of brillanee, High Point College de
feated Guilford 27-0 in the annual
Armistice day game played in the world
war memorial stadium in Greensboro
Friday afternoon, before the champion
ship of the "little five" to the Purple
Panthers.
The entire first quarter was played
in High Point territory. The Quakers
received the kick-off and together with
a couple of first downs found them on
the Panthers' 10-yard line. The Pan
thers then punted to safety but were
soon confronted with the Quakers on
their 10-yard line again. High Point
was able to resist these scoring threats
and the quarter ended scoreless.
The Panthers crossed the line for 13
points in the second quarter. High
Point recovered a fumble in mid-field
and by the aid of a few passes were
able to score the first goal. With about
three minutes of the half's play left,
Heath passed to Purdue who made a
run of 30 yards for their second score.
Another touchdown was scored early
in the third quarter. This brought the
score to 20 to 0. The Quakers seemed
to come to life again and put out
some opposition until nearly the end
of the third quarter when High Point
scored their final touchdown.
In the fourth quarter the Quakers
were full of pep. In this quarter the
Quakers put up their most scrapy play.
It was spotted with long passes and
end runs for the Quakers. The most
spectacular play was a pass from Par

Friday night. The game was very close
