S. Moore Plays Well
LOSE TO LENOIR BEARS
Exciting and Close Game With the
Bears Taking Early Lead, and Quak
ers Tying Score in Last Minutes
Feb. 3. —Playing a steady game
throughout, the Fighting Quakers over
whelmed the Catawba quintet on their
own floor by the score of 25-11.
The game got off to a slow start
with fully five minutes before either
side scored. With a sudden spurt, bow
ever, the Quakers took the lead and
the half ended 14-7, Guilford leading.
In the second half Catawba made a
desperate effort to rally. But after
the first few minutes of the second half
their attack weakened and llaworth
arid Coltrane found the basket for
numerous scores.
The game was fast and interesting
throughout, in spite of the top-heavy
score. Whisenhunt and Finch were
the outstanding players for Catawba,
while Coltrane and ITawortli and
Moore bore the brunt of the attack for
Guilford. The game was especially
featured by the fast and accurate pass
ing of Hie Crawfordites.
Guilford vs. Lenoir-Rhyne
Feb. 2. —The Guilford College var
sity met Lenoir-Rhyne on their own
floor at Hickory to receive the small
end of a 22-19 score. The game started
off rather slowly and in the first half
the Bears piled up a 14-7 lead. In the
second half, however, Guilford came
back strong. They started a passing
attack that got around the enemy and
cut down the lead of their opponents.

DR. PERISHO ADDRESSES
YADKIN CO. TEACHERS
Emphasizes Teaching as a Learned
Profession, Evaluated by Tests
and Professional Work
MAKES SCIENTIFIC ADDRESSES
Feb. 4.—Dr. Perisho has been in
vited a number of times in the last
few weeks to not only give a chapel
address, but to also meet the high
school science .students. In order to
make his work before these classes
more valuable, he has taken with him
a number of specimens of rocks, clays,
soils, and so forth, to show the stu
dents. Dr. Perisho has recently been
to the following high schools: Kerners
ville, Greensboro, Fayetteville, Mc-
Leansville, and some others.
The high school teachers seem to be
very, much pleased with Dr. Perisho's
work. They say that this should be
of much value to the young men and
women who are soon entering college.
On Saturday Dr. Perisho addressed
the teachers of Yadkin county at their
monthly meeting. lie emphasized the
question of whether or not school teach
ing is a learned profession. He not
only referred to tests to determine
whether school teaching is a profes
sion, but also to the necessity of teach
ers doing professional work.
lie later spoke on citizenship and the
teacher's relation to county, state and
national problems.

SEMESTER BEGUN IN
RELIGIOUS THOUGHT
Course Directed by Dean True
blood and Samuel Haworth.
Many Books to Be Read
ENROLLMENT OF THIRTY
Feb. 4.—Of the new courses offered
this semester, the one in religious
thought has probably attracted the
most attention. The course is designed
to give the students an intimate knowl
edge of the world's outstanding re
ligious autobiographies. A special ef
fort is being made to present the lives
of men who have gone through great
moral and religious crises. While
many of the books to be studied in
this course are the representations of
great Christians, there is to be pre
sented the beliefs of men of all religious
persuasions.
This course is extremely different
from the majority on the campus, but
its necesssary value is unquestionable.
The courses offered in the regular cur
riculum cover the broad field of tech
nical and practical knowledge, but cer
tain members of the faculty and
students have felt that courses giving
the student a broader and more philo
sophical outlook upon life were inade
quate.
The course consists of the studying
of 10 books, one of which is read each
week. The class meets each Monday
night in the library for two hours to
discuss the various books. The meet
ings are to be supervised alternately by
Samuel Ilaworth and Dean Trueblood.
The books to be taken up in their
respective order, are: Augustine's Con
fc 88 ion ft, The Life of the lilcssed Henry
Suso, Autobiography of St. Theresa,
Grace Abounding, by Bunyan; Journal
of George For, .Journal of John TFes
ley, Journal of John Wool man, Heart
of Emerson's Journal, Apologia, by
Newman; Mark Rutherford's Auto
biography, Tolstoy's Confessions, Father
and Son, by Edmund Goss; From Alien

THE
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C, FEBRUARY 8, 1928
ANNUAL SCHOOL OF
MISSIONS IS BEGUN
Have Good Enrollment and
Many Classes Discussing
Important Problems
TOM SYKES GIVES TALK
Feb. r. —The sixth session of tlie
School of Missions at New Garden
Friends Church began Sunday evening
with an enrollment of 127. There are
seven class groups. Rev. Tom Sykes,
of the High Point Friends Church, de
livered the address of the evening,
speaking on the subject of the Quaker
ministry.
liev. Sykes spoke of the apparent
drawbacks of the ministry. He at
tributed the first one to fear that the
fellow members of the church will not
lend their support in the undertaking.
"A consolation that God has never
failed a single minister is an incentive
for others to take up that work," be
said. The fact that many early
Friends took up the ministry linger the
age of 25 is an interesting thought.
One of the most outstanding English
orators was a boy of only 16. Mr.
Sykes said that people should get wis
dom and training, but before all things
they must receive Christ. The speaker
praised Guilford's gospel team and
predicted for it a great future.
Mr. Paul Reynolds played a piano
solo, and Miss Chandos Kinirey sang
one number. Miss Alma llasseil pre
sided.

G. C. FLAPPERS TAKE
LEAP YEAR LIBERTIES
Moonlight Adds to Romantic Walk
From Founders to New Garden as
Girls Escort Men to Party
WILMER STEELE DIRECTS GAMES
Feb. 4.—The complete liberty of mod
ern flapperdom was demonstrated at
the expense ot: the sheiks last Saturday
evening in what was called a "Leap
Year Social." The function was sup
posed to have been held at New Garden.
In general the evening was a most
enjoyable one. The long walk between
Founders and New Garden was so
deeply touched with the warmth of
early spring that its pallet was as soft
to the slow footsteps as that of the
carpet in the aisle of some magnificent
cathedral. The rays of the smiling
moon, which penetrated the ether down
on earth, were softened by a lone white
cloud.
Along with the excessive fun there
was considerable pathetic unliappiness.
Several helpless lions were so unfortu
nate as not to receive an invitation for
a date, from the lambs' side of the
campus, and were thus blown hither
and thither by the bustle of the eve
ning's program.
At seven o'clock most of the group
of pairs assembled in the dining hall
at New Garden where Wilmer Steele
directed a number of games and men
tal tests, the wifiners of which were
awarded small prizes. After the games
lemonade and heart-shaped cookies
were served.
At nine o'clock the group social ad
journed and a period of 45 minutes
was given for private coupling party
chats. Doubtless this was the busiest
period of the entire evening. At 0 :4.~
the parting bell rang.

WILBUR'S PROGRAM
IS DISCUSSED HERE
Students Participate in Open
Forum Discussion on
Naval Program
SEND PROTEST TO GOV'T
Feb. .'i.—An open forum discussion on
Secretary Wilbur's naval construction
program was held in chapel this morn
ing and the student body and faculty
decided to send a protest against this
policy, to Washington. Professor
Samuel Haworth introduced the ques
tions and briefly outlined the facts.
After the failure of the .Geneva con
ference last year Secretary Wilbur an
nounced a five-year naval building pro
gram, the estimated cost of which
would be .$750,000,000. Within the
last two weeks this program has been
cast aside and another one even more
comprehensive and vaster covering a
period of 20 years and costing $2,500,-
000,000 substituted in its place.
Several students had been asked by
members of the faculty "to express
their opinions," and each of these pro
ceeded to support the suggestion made
by Professor Hawortli. Byron Ha
worth brought out the point that public
opinion expressed in protests often
determines governmental policy and
cited our present "Mexican" relation
ship as an example. Wilmer Steele
stressed the economy issue involved,
while others brought out the fact that
such a program would be detrimental
because we have a navy adequate for
national defense, and it would be re
voking our policy of encouraging dis
armament and it would precipitate the
nations of the world into a naval build-
ing program.
When a vote was called for, about

ADDRESSES THE FACULTY
Emphasizes Hifth Ideals of Character in
Modern Youth to Cope With Inven
tions of Material World
Jan. 30.—Dr. Itufus M. Jones, the
foremost Friend in America, visited
Guilford while making a southern tour,
and addressed the student body on the
topic of "The Importance of a New
Type of Education." Dr. Itufns Jones,
who is head of the department of
philosophy at Haverford College, ex
pressed his delight at the friendly
relation which has always existed be
tween that school and Guilford.
We pay hut little attention to the
things which go on around us with
which we are familiar. It is when we
detect some unusual noise that we be
come alert and begin to search for the
reason. The time is at hand for the
younger generation to heed the noise
of the responsibilities of life. It is
necessary that they begin to assume
their share of this burden so that they
may be able to take up the task when
time shall eventually overtake its
present bearers. If there were but a
million Lindberghs numbered in the
ranks of the younger generation this
problem would be solved. Since, how
ever, this is not the case, it is our
task to try to make ourselves as good
in our own line as he is in his line.
The past few generations have given
us great material growth. Steam, elec
tricity, and their many applications,
along with the promise that the near
future will see man able to have at his
command unlimited power, make it
seem that man has attained the great
est heights. Nevertheless, these re
markable achievements are unstbale,
