Newlin and S. Williams as Flower- Girl and Maid of Honor Greatly Impress Audience Nov. 25.—Friday was the eventful oc casion of the first inter-society recep tion. With due solemnity the Clay marshal conducted the eager Phils to "Mem," where the evening program was enacted. After the brief business of the meeting a presentation entitled, "The Holy Not," was offered. The "not" in question was the "not" of matri mony. While Paul Reynolds, gay in a flow ered sleeveless dress and all the neces sary accessories, softly played a wed ding march the company assembled. Worth Mackie impersonated the devout minister to perfection. The three bridesmaids, Hale Newlin, John Lippin cott, and Holt Finnison, with the ush eis, Byron Haworth, Justice Strickland and Howard Trivette were the next to appear. The maid of honor, Sinclair Williams, blushing prettily, chewing gum lustily and bedecked in a flowered organdie dress and high-heeled slippers, tripped with a degree of grace up to the platform. Following came the flower girl, Ira Newlin. who simpering and prancing, scattered in his wake a petaled path (of torn newspapers) for the dainty and winsome bride (Waldo Williams) resplendent in a white dress and lace curtain held 011 by a wreath of orange blossoms. She leaned becom ingly 011 her father's arm, Barclay Newlin, and cast modest, furtive glances at the groom (Eugene Hire) nervously waiting on the platform with the best man (Franz Pamperin). The ceremony was conducted in a most disconcerting manner. In a sono rous voice, the minister asked, "Do you take this man to be your faithless hus band, to hate, despise, torment, harange, (Continued on Page Four) JUNIOR HOCKEY TEAM TAKES CHAMPIONSHIP Freshmen Give Juniors Heavy Competi tion in Fall Tournament Losing By Small Score JUNIORS SHOW GOOD TEAM WORK Nov. 23.—At the end of a very ex citing hockey tournament on November 21, 22, and 23, the Junior girls were proclaimed the champions of the sea son, after tieing the score with the Freshmen, 2-2, and then winning in a second game, 1-0, and taking an easy victory from the Sophomores with a score of 4-1. The Seniors played the Sophomore team on November 21, the Sophomores winning, 5-1. On this same day the Jun iors met the Freshmen for the first time in a hotly contested game. After an extra period of play, the score was 2-2. This tie was played off with a final score of 1-0 in favor of the Juniors. This game proved to be a thrilling one as the one score was made in the last two minutes of play. In the finals be tween the Juniors and Sophomores, the Juniors won easily, the score being 4-1, making the Junior team the cham pion for the year. GUILFOR DISCUSSION OF RULES SHOWS AGREEMENT Trial Rules Considered Success and While There Probably Should Be Changes They Are Good Starting Point From Which Can Be Evolved a United and Effective Government For the last two weeks there has been much agitation on the part of the student body for the return of the "new rules." There have been charges and counter-charges con cerning the rules, rumors that they were unsuccessful, others stating that they were the best thing Guil ford has had in a long time. The editorial staff of the Guilfordian decided it might be a good plan to consult several persons on the cam pus who would be in a position to intelligently state whether in their opinion the month's trial had prov en a success or failure. Dean Trueblood said, "The new rules which were given a month's trial this fall are a suggestion of ■the enlightened freedom which the future holds. The students showed themselves eminently able to profit by their new liberties and the whole atmosphere was a healthy one." Mrs. Andrews, Dean of Women adds, "I feel sure the girls were more nearly satisfied under the new rules. They showed that they were worthy of the trust placed in them and that they were able to aecept the responsibility intrusted to SCHOLASTIC REPORT IS BETTER THAN BEFORE Fewer Flunks at End of Quarter Than In Previous Years and General Average Much Higher 33 PEOPLE MAKE ALL A'S AND B'S Nov. 26.—"Wait until the first quar ter ends," was the slogan of all those who doubtfully shook their heads at the mention of the new rules for the stu dent body. The first quarter has passed and its history is written into the grades of the present Guilfordians. Hard it will be for such pessimists to believe that in comparison with the previous year the grades under the new rules were higher. The students having made all A's but one are: Sara Edgerton, Wilbur McFarland, and Myrtle Richardson. (Continued on Page Three) SPONSORS ELECTED BY GIRLS' ORGANIZATIONS Sallie Wilkins to Represent the Student Government and Berta Hollady the Y. W. C. A. Nov. 21.—Sponsors for the Young Women's Christian Association and Stu dent Government were recently elect ed —Berta Hollady and Sallie Wilkins, respectively. The question of whom to elect has been in the minds of every girl on the campus who takes any part in student affairs. The sponsors were selected on the basis of the degree to which they have supported their organization. Thus these sponsors are living symbols of their organizations. For it is certainly true that 110 Guilfordian could look at Sallie Wilkins without thinking of Stu dent Government, or at Berta Hollady without remembering the weekly Thurs day Y. W. Qj THE GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., NOVEMBER 30, 1927 them. I am anxious for the best things and I think the trial of the rules proved that a permanent change of this kind would raise the morale of the student body." Miss Campbell states further, "I have never known the dormitory to be so quiet as it was under tile trial of the new rules. There was a much better spirit among the students as a whole and they showed themselves willing to accept and be worthy of the responsibility intrusted to them. I heartily favor the restoration of the rules." Walter Robertson, Chairman of the Men's Council, said, "The boys exhibited a better spirit during the period of the liberal rules. I be lieve they would be highly bene ficial to everyone." The president of the Women's Student Government remarked, "I think the rules we tried out were a success. Since we included scholar ship in our standards it was very evident that more people had a deeper interest in their grades and did more hard work. The general attitude toward student govern ment was the best I have ever seen." E. R. TRUEBLOOD DIRECTING THE DEBATING CLASS Twenty-Eight Men Are Working Hard On Debating Material—There Are Many Fine Debaters FINAL TEAM TO BE CHOSEN LATER Nov. 28.—Like many other things at Guilford, there will be a drastic change in debating this year. Instead of hav ing only one debate, as has been the custom for the past few years, Guilford will have at least four this year and there is a possibility of still more. At present, according to the schedule of the North Carolina Forensic League, Guilford will debate Atlantic Christian and Elon Colleges, also take part in a triangular debate with Lenoir-Rhyne and High Point colleges. Professor Elton Trueblood will coach the debating squad this year and he al ready has definite, well formulated plans laid out that he feels sure will make the debating team successful. A call for debaters was issued last week and at the appointed time twenty eight men gathered in the Websterian Society Hall to discuss debating. Among those at the meeting were such outstanding debaters as B. Haworth, W. Mackie, S, Parker, G. Collins as well as a number of very promising freshmen. The group decided that they would prefer not to have immediate tryouts for a team but that every one interested might join the squad and work along until a short time before the debates when a team should be picked, on the basis of ability and work. The debates will meet in a class under Professor Trueblood at least once a week. ANNOUNCEMENT The Guilford College Community Chorus, consisting of one hundred and thirty mixed voices will give a program under the direction of Max Noah, on Sunday, December 11, at 4 o'clock. The public is cordially invited to attend. DIAN GLEE CLUB WILL GO TO SEDGEFIELD INN Euphonian Glee Club to Make First Public Appearance Before Rotarians PROGRAM OF 6 NUMBERS Nov. 26. —The Euphonian Glee Club is one of the newest organizations on the campus, yet it has become generally known that it is one of the peppiest. It is hoped that in the future, the stand ard of this Glee Club may be raised to that of the boys, thereby raising the standard of the college. At the beginning of the year, the club was organized and the following were elected to hold office for one year: Sarah Edgerton, President; Josephine Paul, Secretary; Esther Reece, "Vice- President and accompanist; Mary Rey nolds, Treasurer; Ora Melvin, Business Manager; Alden Hunt, Associate Busi ness Manager; Esther Lindley, Libra rian ; Max Noah, Director. Later a design for a pin was selected. The boys selected the same design, for a key, thus forming a musical frater nity. The pins and keys are only to be worn by those who complete a certain amount of work either in the Min nesinger or Euphonian Glee Clubs. So far, the business manager has not arranged a definite schedule. But if the club is allowed to make week-end trips it will go to the nearby towns and colleges, and probably to a few high schools. The club will give a twenty or twenty-five minute program before the Rotary Clubs of Greensboro and Lex ington next Tuesday evening at Sedge field Inn. The program will consist of the following numbers: "Would God I Were the Tender Apple Blossom," Adolph Weidig—Glee Club. "Where My Caravan Has Rested," Clarence Lucas—Glee Club. "Serenade," F. Schubert—Josephine Paul, Kathryn Owen. "By the Waters of the Minnetonka," Thurber Lieurance —Josephine Paul, Kathryn Owen. "Thanks Be to God," Clarence Lucas —Glee Club. "Nursery Ryme,"—Glee Club. The Club has manifested much inter est in this program, and many special rehearsals have been held in order that the club may give its best at its first appearance in public. QUAKERS OPEN SEASON WITH FT. BRAGG AT Y Coach Pat Crawford's Basketeers Will Meet Fort Bragg Soldiers in Greensboro Nov. Ninth On Friday night, December 9, the Guilford College basketball quint will play its first hard game of the season when they go up against the strong Fort Bragg team. This game will be played in the new Greensboro Y. M. C. A. building at 8 P M. It is ex pected that a good crowd will be out to see the Quakers in their first exhi bition. Coach Crawford's men should be in top form by the time for this contest. Since the close of the football season the squad has been further strengthened by the addition of Captain Moore. The Fort Bragg team comes with a team of unknown quality, as they have not played many exhibitions as yet. The game should be hard fought and close throughout. "Is that a goat?" "Nothing else butt."—Chowanian. Guilford College on December 10 THANKSGIVING DAY IS MARRED BY SEVERAL SAD TURKEY DEATHS Proves to Be the Fastest-Mov and Busiest Day of Entire Scholastic Year FACULTY WIN IN HOCKEY Last Number of Turkey-Day Program is a Brunswick Stew Which is Held Near the College Ordinarily one thinks of Thanksgiv ing as a day when all work ceases and everything runs on slow motion in order that a spirit of quiet thanksgiv ing may prevail, but such a day did not fit last Thursday at Guilford. Movement really started on the lion's side of the mound about 12:30 a. m., when the bass echos of beaten rugs and the keen notes of fleeing gar bage cans resounded across the campus while brooms nervously passed up and down halls whispering notes of beckon ing silence. Just as the morning light began to appear upon the eastern horizon an nouncing the break of day, the Found ers chimes called for morning prayer. Again after breakfast, brooms and vari ous other carpenter utensils, including the hammer, began circulating on trebled count in the halls and chambers of both the lions and the lambs. At 9:00 the fair little crusaders be (Continued on Page Three) 808 GRIFFIN ELECTED HEAD OF NEW PAPERS "La Petite Quakeresse" and "La Cua querilla" Are New French and Spanish Papers .MUCH ENTHUSIASM IS SHOWN Nov. 26.—1t is rumored about the campus that the Guilfordian is soon to have some competition in the form of Spanish and French newspapers. Rob ert Griftin, who is a capable Spanish student, has been chosen by the stu dents of the Romance Language De partment to head the new papers. He has chosen a capable staff of assistants from both the French and Spanish classes and they, with the help and ad vice of Dr. Kressin and Miss Hanna, will publish the papers every week. The names of the French and Span ish papers are, respectively: "La Petite Quakerette" and "La Cuaquerilla." They will be published in bulletin form and contain local events of interest to the members of the Romance Language Department, as well as interesting items concerning France, Spain and the South American countries. This is only one of the many pro gressive steps taken by the heads of the Romance Language Department to make their department up-to-date and interesting. The departmental room has been completely remodeled, an office added, a radio has been purchased, and many other improvements have been made. The new ideas introduced by Dr. Kressin and Miss Hanna have aroused a great deal of interest in the depart ment this year. An indication of the great amount of interest being shown in this department is the fact that one hundred and ninety-six students, or over two-thirds of the student body, are taking one or more courses in the Ro mance Language Department.
