GUILFORD GAMES IN
NORTH GO TO LOSS
SIDE OF THE LEDGER
Meet Defeat Usually by Close
Scores After Hard Fighting
With Strong Opponents
HAWORTH IS LUCKY ACE
Lynchburg, 35-25; Richmond Blues, 54-
27; Ashlanders, 43-33; Indians, 28-25;
Georgetown, 64-23, and G. W., 25-22.
The "loss" side of Guilford's "profit
and loss" ledger is conspicuous because
of six consecutive defeats suffered on
the northern basketball tour. Most of
the games were close, however, and
some unusually strong clubs were met.
The first licking was administered at
the hands of the Lynchburg quintet.
The score was 35-20. This game started
off sluggishly but soon quickened into
a lively affair. Grant and Riley starred
for Lynchburg with 12 and 10 points,
respectively. Marshall led the Quakers
with 7. Guilford next met the strong
Richmond Blues at Richmond, Va. Their
54-27 victory over the Quakers con
stituted their seventh straight win.
Ha worth led his team with 16 points.
Guilford was next victim to Randolph-
Macon, the score being 43-33. The
Ashlanders held a substantial lead
through most of the game. Haworth
again starred, chalking up 14 points
for the quakers.
Probably the most anticipated, and
hardest fought contest of the serieg
%vas the return game with William and
Mary at Williamsburg, Va., in which
Guilford suffered a 28-25 defeat. The
Indians were smarting under their de
feat of the eleventh, and were out for
revenge. Guilford took an early lead
which changed hands four times during
the game. The Quakers held the lead
at the half by four points, the count

QUAKER WILL GO TO
THE PRESS MARCH 1

UNIQUE QUAKER THEME
The 1928 Quaker goes to press March
Ist. It is similar in some respects, but
very different in many, from the an
nual of last year.
An art theme is carried throughout
relative to customs and beliefs of the
early Friends as portrayed in two of
the leading Friends, namely William
Penn and George Fox. The binding,
which is of a htavy mallay material,
will bear upon it a profile of William
Penn. The fly-leaf pages contain a pen
drawing of the famous picture called
"Penn's Treaty With the Indians." This
will serve as an Ex Libris. The di
vision pages are also pen drawings of
various incidents in the life of William
Penn, such as "His first view of Phila
delphia from the ship called the Wel
come, etc." These are tipped on the
respective pages under which may be
found either a historical sketch or poem
relative to the picture.
Various touches are found scattered
throughout the book, which turns one's
mind to George Fox. Sayings of his
are especially noticeable. Perhaps the
most interesting section of the annual,

FIVE STUDENTS MAKE
COVETED 'A' REPORTS
Junior and Senior Classes Have Highest
Average of Grades—Freshmen and
Sophs Do Not Do So Well
Tlie grades for the semester ending
January 28 are slightly better than the
grades for the first quarter. Five stu
dents made all A's; four all A's but
one; twenty-five all A's anil B's, and
three all B's, and for those who are
conspicuous only for falling below the
nine-hour law, let nothing be said this
time.
It is noticed that five freshmen are
represented on the four lists men
tioned, but they were more favorably
represented on the umnentioned list.
The junior and senior classes have
much the highest number of students
on the list of those to be commended,
also there were fewer failures in these
classes than in the other two.
The following students made all A's:
Eugene Ilire. Myrtle Richardson, Wil
bur McFarland, Olin Sink, Annie
Wagoner.
The students making all A's but one
are: Lois Atkinson, Robert Van der-
Voort, Sarah Edgerton, Ruth Outland.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., FEBRUARY 22, 1928
MISS PETTY MAKES
ROOM PRESENTATION
After Informal Reception Miss Mary Petty, Chairman of
Advisory Council, Presents Club Room to Men—Walter
Robertson and Byron Haworth Accept on Behalf of
Men, Pledging Their Support for Upkeep
The college Board of Trustees and the
Advisory Council met jointly Friday
night for the purpose of dedicating and
presenting the new boys' club room
and social center. This room is located
in the northern end of Archdale Hall,
the boys' dormitory, and is beautifully
furnished. The floors are hardwood and
the large, easy chairs and table har
monize well with them. The room is
large and sunny and will make an ideal
club room. *
After an informal reception, Dean
Trueblood introduced Miss Mary Petty,
an alumna of Guilford, who is now
chairman of the Advisory Council and
head of the Chemistry department of
N. C. C. W. Miss Petty presented the
room to the boys and sketched out a
short history of why and how the room
came to be in existence today. Walter
Robertson, president of the Men's Stu
dent Council, received the room on be
half of the Guilford men, and expressed
their gratification and pleasure in re-
CLAYS ARE HONORED
BY ZATASIAN GIRLS
"The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" Best Re
ceived Number, While Misses Edger
ton and Shipp Deserve Praise
BEARTS FEATURE OF PROGRAM
Feb. 17. —The Zatasian Literary So
ciety entertained the Henry Clay Lit
erary Society Friday night with a de
lightful reception. The meeting was
called to order in Memorial Hall by
President Evelyn Braxton, and a well
arranged program was then smoothly
run off.
A palpitating heart hunt was first
staged, and imagine the mad rush and
scramble for the favored symbols.
Frances Osborne justly meted out re
wards and punishments to the unlucky
and lucky, and Ira Newlin's predica
ment was truly a sad one. Van der
Voort, Reynolds and Zachary ran a race
on vehicles very much in keeping with
their age and "Rack" nosed in a length
ahead of the others on his "Reynolds
Special" scooter.
Ora Melvin next charmed her audi
ence with a taken-from-experience (?)
reading of "Emmy Lou's Valentine.*'
The audience chuckled reminiscently.
The terpsichorean team extraordinary
of Shipp and Edgerton, Inc., gained a
well-deserved round of applause with
their deft, adroit and fancy foot-work.
Indeed, Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn
had better look to their laurels. A
great future is seen for this team.
Alice Hazard, prophetess, for a few
minutes at least, co-ordinated her re
markable powers with those of 'Cupid,
the insidious match-maker, and freely
handed out prophecies containing ad
vice and advance information to the
most rabid participants in that refresh
ing game called love. It is to be hoped
that this advice will be taken seriously
and acted upon accordingly.
"The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi," fea
turing Doris Joyner and Orville Woot
en, closed the program. The young
man, sitting before the fire, with only
his pipe for consolation, dreams of the
girl of his memory, while "The Sweet
heart of Sigma Chi" is softly sung off
(Continued on Page Two)
ceiving this much-needed, deeply appre
ciated gift. Byron Haworth, represen
tative of the Y. M. C., also expressed,
the thanks of the men and heartily
united with Robertson in pledging the
support and co-operation of the Guil
ford men in keeping the room as it
really should be kept.
Those of the Board of Trustees and
Advisory Council who were present at
the dedication and presentation were:
D. Ralph Parker, W. E. Blair, Miss Mary
Petty, Mr. and Mrs. J. Elwood Cox, Mrs.
Sarah C. M. Sampson, Mrs. Lelia D. Hill,
Miss Notre M. Johnson, Cyrus P. Fra
zier, Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Hollowell,
David J. White, Joseph D. Cox, Mrs.
Helen T. Binford. Nearly all of the
faculty and many of the students were
also present.
This club room fills a need that has
long been felt among the students here.
No general social room has heretofore
been available, ajid with the auspicious
advent of this center, a newer and bet
ter social life and spirit is predicted.
FACULTY LADIES AND
OTHERS START CLUB
Is Begun With Aim of Drawing Women
Together Socially and to Provide
Needed Accessories
CURTAINS TO BE HUNG IN MEM.
A club has recently been formed
among the women of the faculty, wives
of professors, and members of the Ad
visory and the Girls' Aid Committees,
which intends to draw together socially
the women interested in the welfare of
Guilford College and secure for the col
lege some most evidently needed ma
terial accessories.
The first goal which this club has
set itself is the securing of funds
enough to have new curtains hung for
the stage in Memorial Ilali. To raise
the money for this the members of the
club are planning to produce a play
in the latter part of March. Mr. Tay
lor, head of dramatics at the North

Feb. 17.—The Guilford College Board
of Trustees met in joint session with
the advisory committee Friday after
noon and evening to dedicate the new
boys' club room, to hear reports from
Richard L. Hollowell, chairman of the
buildings and ground committee for
the board of trustees, concerning the
$55,888.89 which have been spent on
general improvements since June and
to hear a report from President Ray
mond Binford concerning the enroll
ment of the college. Dr. Binford re
ports that the enrollments has now
reached 307,. which is, with the excep
tion of the year 1925-26, twenty or
twenty-five more students than Guilford
has had before. The president also
stated that there are 153 women and
154 men enrolled, and that this is the
first time since the World War that
the men have outnumbered the women.
Mr. Hollowell, who has supervised
many of the improvements, reported on
the efficiency of the new heating plant,

DEBATING TEAMS WILL
BEGIN SEASON TUESDAY
Haworth and Trueblood Go to Catawba
While Mackie and Francis Meet
Opponents Here
USE OXFORD STYLE OF DEBATING
Guilford opens her debating season
Tuesday night when she engages Ca
tawba in a dual meet. The query is
Resolved, That the United States should
cease to protect by armed force its in
vestments in foreign countries except
after a declaration of war.
Byron Haworth and Clare Trueblood,
representing Guilford's affirmative, go
to Salisbury to debate Catawba's nega
tive. Edwin Rozell, chairman of the
debating council, will accompany them
to look after the necessary arrange
ments. Luther Francis and Worth
Mackie, Guilford's negative team, re
main at home and will be hosts to Ca
tawba's affirmative.
A modified form of the Oxford style
of debating will be used. This is the
first time this innovation has appeared
in Guilford debates. At this time it is
not known how much of Dean True
blood's suggestions will be accepted by
Catawba. This plan involves a de
cision by the audience as well as the
judges. The audience is to judge from
the merits of the question and th&
judges from the merits of the debate..
It is hoped that this plan will lead to.
more actual persuasiveness and away
from debating technicalities.
The squad has narrowed down con
siderably since the beginning of the
season, but at present competition is
keener than ever.
This debate with Catawba is to be
the first of a series of inter-collegiate
debates, Lenoir-Rhyne, Atlantic Chris
tion College, Elon, and High Point hav-
ing been scheduled for engagements in
the near future.
