For some time the roomers in Cox and Archdale Halls have been com plaining about the scarcity of hot water. Many of the men have had their morals utterly ruined for life by stepping into a shower of chilly, cold, frigid hot water that was gent ly flowing up from the boiler room. The Guilfordian has watched with great concern the increasing immor ality that is arising on the campus due to this condition, and it now takes steps to remedy it. The prop osition is this: To the subscriber who presents the most brilliant idea whereby hot water can be secured for these two despondent halls The Guilfordian will give a free ticket to the Carolina Theatre. Here are the rules of the contest: 1. This contest is open to all sub scribers of The Guilfordian except those officially connected with the staff. 2. The manuscript must be from 2GO to 400 words in length. 2. All masterpieces must be in the hands of the contest editor by April 22 at 12 o'clock, noon. Address all communications to CONTEST EDI TOR, care of The Guilfordian. 4. The winner will be announced I and the winning masterpiece pub lished in the next issue of this paper. QUAKER TO BE OUT LAST PART OF MAY Distinctive Features of Quaker ism Are Especially Empha sized Throughout PROOF TO BE READY SOON The 1 sUB Quaker will be of interest to students and alumni for two rea sons: first, like all publications of its sort, it will serve as a memory book, and second, it will be an addition to any library as a baok of historic in terest. The theme of the annual emphasizes the particularly distinctive character istics of Quakerism. Incidents taken from the lives of two leaders of the Quaker faith illustrate a number of traditional customs. The division pages in the book contain tipped on pen drawings of William I'enn. One drawing represents his love affair; the other is taken from the ship called the "Welcome," from which he first set eyes upon what is now Philadelphia. Each organization on the campus selected a sponsor and the sponsor pic tures in Quaker costume occupy several pages. Beneath each picture is a characteristic sentence taken from the Journal of George Fox. For example, Fox disbelieved in "musick," so the two Glee Club sponsors appear criti cally examining musical instruments. The senior characteristic pictures were also made in Quaker dress and many of them are very unique in appearance. The binding of the book will be of a heavy rhinoceros mallay material in crimson. A bust view of William I'enn will appear in oval form, and the let ters will be of gray, thus carrying out the college colors. Another interesting feature will be the fly-leaf pages. These are fac similes of pen drawings also. The famous picture of "William Penn's Treaty With the Indians" covers both fly-leafs. A representative from the company which is printing the annual visited the Quaker staff last week. Qy THE so GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., APRIL 18, 1928 MISS LOUISE IS NOW RECOVERING AFTER A SERIOUS BREAKDOWN Miss Louise Osborne Served 30 Years as Dean Here and Is Dearly Loved MISS GAINEY WITH HER Telegrams and Letters Keep Guilford Friends Closely Informed As to Her Progress Miss Louise Osborne, beloved teacher known as Miss Louise, who served as dean of women and professor of Latin at Guilford College for over 30 years, has recently been seriously ill in a hospital in Indianapolis, Ind., and is now recovering nicely. When a telegram was received last week, saying that Miss Louise was in a very critical condition, Miss Maud L. Gainey went immediately to be with her. Upon her arrival Miss Osborne seemed to brighten up and she inquired about her Guilford friends. Site had been constantly thinking about them, and has appreciated having Miss Gainey with her. At the close of the I!)2.V2> term, Miss Louise left Guilford, where she had served so long and faithfully, on account of her health. She went to Greensboro, Indiana, where she has been living since with some of her relatives. She has kept in close touch, however, with Guilford and is still very much interested in all that happens at the college where she spent so much of her time. ROANOKE RAPIDS SCHOOL GIVES MUSICAL PROGRAM Present a Varied Program of Vocal and Instrumental Music to Students and Faculty of College SELECTIONS ARE WELL RENDERED April 12.—Members of the Roanoke Bapids High School Music Department gave a concert in Memorial Hall Thurs day evening at 8 o'clock. The program was divided into two parts: the first consisted of a group of orchestra selections, while the second was given by the members of the boys' and girls' glee clubs. Two faculty mem bers appeared 011 the program. Miss Buth Carlson gave two violin numbers and Miss Chrystal Heerin gave a vocal solo. There also appeared 011 the pro gram three contest numbers, which the department entered in the State con test which was being held at N. C. C. W. this past week. The Overture Mignonette by the orchestra, vocal solo, "Night Clouds," by Miss Sue Britton, and the girls' glee club numbers were especially well given and well received. The musical selections rendered seemed to have been selected especially with regard for their distinction and freshness. The audience seemed to feel that although part of the program was of a classical nature, there was enough fun and music of a lighter na ture to make the program enjoyable for all who attended. Every phase of the orchestra's work showed a technique which could have been acquired only by hard and con sistent work and under efficient direc tion. The chorus work, especially the numbers by the girls' glee club, was excellent and well sustained throughout their program.

Both debates were hotly contested, the judges' decision being 2-1 in both cases. Guilford was represented at home by Byron Haworth and Clare Trueblood, who upheld the affirmative side of the question, while Worth Mackie and Edwin Bozell went to Elon to de fend the negative. This contest ends the debating season for Guilford. Under the di rection of Dean Trueblood the de baters have conducted seven de bates; a triangular with Higli Point and Lenoir-Bhyne which Guilford won, dual debates with both Cataw ba and Elon, both of which were lost, and a contest with the Atlantic Christian College debaters in which Guilford's negative team secured the decision. Although the record is far from perfect, it is the best Guilford has had in several years. Next year Coach Trueblood hopes to arrange a northern trip to debate Haverford and possibly Earlham.

From the very beginning the program progressed with unusual pep. There were various types of en tertainment throughout. Everything from comedian stunts to fairies playing among the clouds found its place in the' program. The Glee Club sang with great pre cision and showed that much time had been spent in practice since last Septem ber when the club was organized for the year. The two numbers which the audience most appreciated were "The Mulligan Musketeers," which the club had to repeat, and the closing song, "Far Away in the South." The special groups were all well re ceived. The Pierot and Pierette. nov elty number, sung by Paul Reynolds and Glenn Robertson, was especially re quested as an encore. Members of the quartette, wearing sailor suits, were called for several en cores. They also sang an extra group including Brahm's "Lullaby" and "Drink to me only with thine eyes." Ira Newlin appeared as a comedian and kept his audience laughing through out his entire appearance.
