YOUNG CHEMISTS VISIT
HOME OF VICKS SALVE
Guilford Chemistry Classes Visit the
Greensboro Water Purification Plant.
They See Entire Process
SEE MAKING OF FAMOUS CURE
Nov. 15.—Dr. Charles N. Ott, profes
sor of chemistry, took tlie two sections
of chemistry one and a number of the
advanced chemistry students to the city
water purification plant in Greensboro,
also to the Vicks Chemical factory on
Tuesday and Wednesday.
At the water plant the young chem
ists received a detailed explanation and
demonstration of the entire process of
water purification from the muddy lake
reservoir twelve miles away to the pools
and tanks of purified crystal water
ready to be pumped through the mains
to the homes. By the addition of alum
inum sulfate, which hydrolyzes in water
to form a gelatinous white solid, to
muddy water the sticks and smaller
plant life are carried down into settling
basins. To neutralize the acidity of
the clean water, thus obtained, a small
amount of common lime is added. As
it final treatment a little chlorine gas
is dissolved in the water in order to
destroy the life of any bug or aqueous
animal inhabitants generally spoken of
as lower, simple celled animals or
germs.
The trip was brought to a close by
a dip into Vicks salve plant. Through
the courtesies of the Vicks Company
officials, the students saw the process
of manufacturing Vicks salve from the
.'big mixing kettles to the shipping room.
So conscientious were the visiting
chemists that they were brought to
tears when unruly noses were thrust
into a bin of camphor or a basin of
mint oil.
The only outstanding disadvantages
of the trip was the scarcity of riding
si>ace in the bus, but even at that no
one grumbled.

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving at Guilford? Yeh,
the real thing! There's going to be

sewing on new curtains. Well, you
see, for the girls it is good advertis
ing and for the fellows, well, they
don't mind making a good impres
sion, too. But the Thanksgiving
part! There is going to be turkey
and cranberry sauce and all the

wick stew, maybe, and of course a
whole evening of fun. Just wait un

Lenoir-Rhyne's Bears Keep the
Ball in Mid-Field During
First Quarter
OWL STARS FOR L.-RHYNE
Nov. 19. —The Lenoir-Rhyne eleven
crashed through the defense offered by
the Guilford Quakers at Lenoir 011 Sat
urday afternoon, and chalked up three
touchdowns, winning by the decisive
score of 19 to 0.
Guilford kicked to Lenoir-Rhyne, who
brought the ball to Guilford's 40-yard
line. At the beginning Lenoir-Rhyne
made a first down after which the
Quakers held them for downs. Owl
punted for the Bears and the Quakers
retaliated with a punt that put the ball
in mid-field. The playing was done
near the center until the half's last
minute of play when a few long com
pleted passes brought the Bears well
into the Quaker territory. Then Owl
snatched a pass from Hager that gav
the Bears their lead. The extra point
was a pass from Hager to Winecoft.
The second half began with a Quaker
kick which was well booted. The Qua
kers found their way through the de
fense and downed the ball deep in the
territory of the Bears. Lenoir-Rhyne
then punted to safety. After several
long passes the ball went over into the
hands of the Quakers who fumbled 011
their 15-yard line with Lenoir-Rhyne re
covering the ball. Another long pass
and a line plunge and the Bears
marked up their second touchdown. p]f
forts to kick the extra point failed.
Guilford kicked again and Owl returned
the ball 60 yards to Guilford's 20-yard
line. The Bears constantly gained
ground, little by little, until Guilford
was faced with the opponents 011 their
one-yard line. Then is when the Qua
kers showed the old fighting spirit and

C. B. LOOMIS SPEAKS TO
Y. M. C. A. CABINET FRI.
Young Men's Christian Association Is
for Development of the Body,
the Mind and the Spirit
ASKS "WHAT IS CHARACTER?"
* *
Nov. 18.—Among the Important visi
tors 011 tlie campus this week was C. B.
Loomis, Regional Secretary of Student's
Y. M. C. A. Mr. Loomis is a new work
er in this capacity and he is visiting
the various student Y. M. C. A. through
out his region.
He called a meeting of the Cabinet
that he might discuss some of tlie as
pects of Y. M. C. A. work. Mr. Loomis'
first question was, "What is the Y. M.
C. A. 7" The answer given to this was,
"A young men's organization for tlie de
velopment of the body, mind and spirit,
it also aids to bring like spirits to
gether since it is international, inter
denominational and intercollegiate."
His next question was, "What is char
acter':" The cabinet in answering said
that character is what a man is, or tlie
sum total of all of one's tendencies to
action. The next topic for discussion
was the ways of receiving and obtain
ing Christianity.
It was decided that the best way to
ascertain such is through discussion,
study of the lives of men, and a thor
ough study of the life of Christ. To
maintain Christianity is to live a clean
life in the dormitories, class room, din
ing room, and campus life in general.
PLAY APPROACHING
PERFECTION
"The Importance of Being Earn
est," is growing in importance every
day. The east, under the capable
direction of Mr. Furnas, improves
before your very eyes. We all
know that perfection is only a theo
retical ideal, but in this case the
play is approaching perfection to
the nth degree. As the lioness lov
ingly licks her cubs into sleek
cleanliness, so Mr. Furnas is deftly
and surely putting on the finishing
touches in making this a successful
play.
The stage is being improved, ex
tensive advertising campaigns are
planned, details are being seized up
on to eliminate and retain, accord
ing to their value. In short, nothing
will be left out that will help to put
out a play that will long be remem
bered for its acuteness, humor and
acting ability.
CAROLINA WOOD VISITS
AT GUILFORD COLLEGE
Speaks in Chapel, Telling of Rise of
Peasant Class in Mexico and the
Growth of Their Power
IS ON MISSION OF GOOD WILL
Nov. 15.—The chapel talk Tuesday
morning was given by Carolina Wood,
a Friend from New York on her way
to Nicaragua on a mission of goodwill.
She declared that this is the most
exciting world she has ever lived in.
Among other things she is very much
interested in Mexico and its relations
with the United States. I.ast year,
judging from the little work in the mis
sion field, we were not trying to be the
nice big neighbor we should have been.
Two-thirds of the inhabitants of Mex
ico are Mexican Indians who have been
crushed down for 300 years. They
want back the land which was taken
from them, but the upper class say to
work and pay the taxes and they will
manage the land.
Then, not long ago, a man of the
governing class discovered that the
I'nited States believes in getting and
giving a chance, which is the ideal of
education. On his farm of 2,000,000
acres lie started schools for the Indi
ans and gave them back their garden
farms along the river. This act caused
all the Indians in Mexico to demand
the same privileges. Consequently they
revolted and made president the man
who had given his Indians farms and
schools. Now it is a question whether

Professor Max Noah
MISS CAMPBELL SINGS
Plays Bach and Paganini-Liszt With
Great Ease and Gives Fine Inter -
pretation to "La Campanella"
Nov. 19.—The students of Guilford
College are at one in saying that the
recital Saturday night was the best one
that has been given here in recent
years, when Mr. Max Noah, head of
the Department of Music, gave a piano
program, assisted by Miss Eua Camp
bell, contralto.
Mr. Noah in his Bach "Toceato and
Fugue," gave to his audience a very
striking interpretation of Bach's ideas
in fugal composition. The ease with
which lie played this number was very
lioticable. Probably the liest number
of Mr. Noah's was "La Campanella"
by Pagiuini-Liszt. In this one could
hear the bells and sounds around Lake
Geneva which inspired the composer to
write this number. The extremely dif
ficult passages in it, as double chro
matic sixths, were played easily and
precisely.
Miss Campbell's songs were sung
with unusually good interpretation and
expression, Especially well did she ap
pear in her French aria, "Conuais-tu
le pays?" and her audience was particu
larly delighted with her last number,
"The Velvet Darkness." Mr. Noah play
ed her accompaniment.
The program was as follows:
I. Toccata and Fugue, d minor, Bach-
Busoni.
-. Conais-tu le pays? ("Opera Mig
non"), Thomas.
■'! Sonata, d minor, Beethoven; Lar
go Allegro, Adagio, Allegretto.
4. Trees, Basbacli; The Valley of
Laughter, Sanderson; The Velvet Dark
ness, Keddick.
•">. Nocturne, c minor, Chopin; La
Cainpanellaa, Paganini-Liszt.

Guilford Has Advantage in Weight and
Experience, But Visitors Tut
Up Good Fight
GOODMAN STARS FOR GUILFORD
GUILFORD JR. VARSITY—3
Nov. 15. —In an interesting game of
football the Guilford College Junior
varsity defeated Pomona High team
here last Tuesday, by a score of 31
to 0. The outcome of the game was
never in doubt for the lighter high
school team could not gain through the
line, nor was their passing very good.
Guilford backs skirted the ends,
passed, and ripped up the Pomona line
almost at will. For Guilford, Cheek
played a very good game, catching a
number of passes for long gains and
in the last few minutes of play inter
cepted a forward pass and ran for a
touchdown.
Goodman, Buyck, and B. Newling
also played well.
For Pomona the whole team played
well and put up a good fight, but
could not compete with Guilford's
advantage in weight and experience.
Referee: Marshall; umpire, Hoyle;
head linesman, Trivette.
