Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Are Two
Main Organizations of Youth Today;
Triangle Is Emblem
The attendance of the School of Mis
sions was increased from 128 of last
Sunday evening to 155.
The speaker for the school was Mr.
Phillips, principal of Greensboro High
School, who spoke on "The Four-Square
Life," or the rounded out life.
Mr. Phillips started out by saying,
"We should take longer to prepare our
selves for the things we are to do." He
gave as an example that of Christ who
spent many years preparing for such a
short term of service.
The two main organizations of today
for young people are Y. W. C. A. and
Y. M. C. A. These organizations have
for their emblem the triangle. Mr.
Phillips contiuued by saying he believed
there should be another side added.
The four steps in developing the four
square life are, first, development of
the physical self. "We do too many
things," he said. I do not mean we
work too hard, but that we exert our

HEALTH OF GUILFORD
STUDENTS INSURED
The sick and afflicted of Guilford
need spend 110 more time worrying
for fear they will not receive the
proper medical attention, since the
authorities have taken steps to in
sure the proper care of their
health. The services of two cap
able physicians have been secured.
Doctor Johnson, of Greensboro, has
been secured for the boys, and
Doctor Baylis, also of Greensboro,
for the girls. Both of these doc
tors have agreed to come out every
Wednesday afternoon and devote
their time to examining and treat
ink those in need of attention.
Arrangements have also been made
that in case a student needs imme
diate attention either of the doctors
will come out at once for a very
nominal sum. In case of a threat
ened epidemic, such as existed be
fore the Christinas holidays, nurses
may be immediately secured for
full-time duty.
Under these conditions there is
no possibility of any one going
unattended or neglected, and 110
one should become very ill if they
will only make known their pains
and aches.

Doctor Binford Hero
Of Campus Allegory
Samuel Haworth Reads Clever Take-off on Presidential Good
will Tour President Arms Himself to Visit Faculty
and Students Noah Aroused to Give a Solo as
Expression of Co-operative Spirit on Campus
Recently President - elect Iloover
made a good-will tour to South Ameri
ca in a battleship. This, coupled with
some of the contradictory pacifist
measures taken by Congress, led Pro
fessor Haworth to write the following
campus allegory which be read in
chapel Friday morning:
The morning was clear and crisp. A
faint glow appeared in the east. Cam
pus dwellers were still taking their
morning nap. But the president of
Guilford College was no man to doze
away an opportunity. He arose quickly
and prepared himself for the task at
hand. Some weeks before he had se
cured a line suit of khaki which, with
an unusual feeling of pride, he now
put on. Opening a dresser drawer he
took out a cartridge belt and fastened
it around Tiis waist. From it bung
two holsters into which, after carefully
examining them, be put an army six
shooter and a Colt's automatic. A
long bladed knife inserted inside the
belt completed his military toilet. With
satisfaction he surveyed himself in the
mirror. Picking up a sawed-off shot
gun lie was about to sally forth. As
be turned to go he met the astonished
gaze of bis wife.
"Why, Raymond! What is the
joke?"
"No joke at all. This is serious busi-
GUILFORD REPRESENTED
AT HIGH POINT TEA
Young Women Display Athletic and
Dramatic Ability in Presenting
Guiifoi'il'an Athletics
OTHER COLLEGES REPRESENTED
One of the delightful features of the
Iligh Point Country Club tea given by
the American Association of Univer
sity Women to the High Point High
School and High Point College seniors
last Thursday evening was an athletic
stunt by Guilford College students.
Those who were in the stunt were:
Martha Armfleld, Grace Bulla, Mary
Ellen Lassiter, Louise Melville, Jose
phine Paul, Annie Ray, and Lottie
Stafford. These girls displayed both
their athletic and dramatic ability in
presenting Guilford College athletics.
The vim and vigor with which the
stunt was given created enthusiasm
among High Point students to come to
Guilford.
The purpose of the tea was to pre
sent to the students a clever and help
ful view of college and university life
with the hope that it might be an in
spiration to them to continue their
education. The thought was conveyed
throughout the program that we can
never actually graduate from our
studies. The more we learn the more
there is to learn.
Other numbers 011 the program were:
a talk on "Social Life," by Margaret
Hauser, of Salem College ;"Music," by
Dorothy Iloskins, of High Point Col
lege; "Expression," by Greensboro Col
lege students, and "Other Depart
ments," by Kuth Clinard, of N. C. C. W.
Talks were also given by Mrs. H. A.
White and Miss Anne Allbright, mem
bers of the A. A. U. W. Club. All
these gave a concise presentation of
college activities and showed the tine
and helpful points of college life.
ness. I am about to make a good-will
tour of the campus."
"But those firearms! People will
think thee wants to fight somebody."
"O, only timid and suspicious minds
will have such thoughts. Besides, I
am the president of the college. I must
be respected. I have some suspicion
that Purdom is getting heady and
wants to run things. He must be
made to understand his place. And I
have seen certain movements among
the boys that make me think they may
be plotting to pull my hair. I myself
have taught them to take time by the
forelock and they may turn their skill
on me." ,
"But, Raymond, isn't thy own mind
becoming suspicious?"
The question was unanswered. Al
ready he was out of doors, and feeling
the stimulus of the cool morning air he
began in full tones to sing "Onward,
Christian Soldiers, Marching as to
War!"
As he reached the high notes of the
chorus he paused in front of the home
of the Noahs. That ancient cruiser was
silhouetted against the eastern sky. A
mantle of white frost lay on the upper
deck. Mr. Noah was awakened by the
sound of unusual singing, lie lay and

THOMPSON TALKS IN
CHAPEL ON DEMANDS
OF CHRISTIANITY
Stresses Challenging Property
of Christianity—Mentions
Golden Rule Nash
SCIENCE AND RELIGION
States Three Motives Predominant in
Everyone's Life—Egoistic, Altru
istic and Theistic
Feb. s.—Mr. H. J. Thompson, pastor
of West Market Street Church, spoke
in chapel Tuesday morning 011 what
Christianity demands of us.
He said that Christianity is a chal
lenge to the best that- is in us. It
demands and expects the highest of
every one.
Mr. Thompson told about a young
lawyer who asked to be affiliated with
his church but did not wish to move
his membership. The young man had
a scientific mind and did not think he
could accept their fundamental beliefs.
Christ was scientific and yet he didn't
believe that anything was impossible.
Arthur Nash is perhaps America's
foremost example of one who believes
in the Golden Rule and puts this
belief into everyday use. He uses it
in his factories and contrary to public
opinion he is a marked success.
Mr. Thompson emphasized three
main motives, one of which is pre
dominant in every one's life. They
are: (1) the egotistic, which is best
represented by a little child who wants
everything he sees for himself; (2)
the altruistic person, who is continu
ally striving to do something for other
people, and the third and most impor
tant is the "theistic" motive, which is
a passion or fire within which urges
you to serve God with the best of
which you are capable. This is the
enduring ideal of every one's life.
WORK ON THE ANNUAL
PROGRESSING STEADILY
To Be Quite Different From Last Year's
Production—Price to Be $4 —New
Features Being Added
Work on the 1928-29 Quaker seems
to be progressing in a very satisfac
tory manner. Individual pictures have
been made of most of the students and
it is expected that this will be com
pleted at once. The photographic work
for most of the organizations will
probably be done soon. Pictures of
some of the athletic teams will neces
sarily have to come later. In addition
to the photographic work, a consid
erable number of other details have
been planned. The staff is very opti
mistic about both the way tbe work is
progressing and the high quality
which the early labor indicates will
characterize the production.
The annual is being published under
the capable direction of Stanley Moore,
editor-in-chief; Mildred Kimrey, man
aging editor, and Scott Parker, busi
ness manager. All are performing
their duties very efficiently,
The staff assures us of a very dif
ferent production from the one last
year. The price will be four dollars,
which is one dollar less than last year.
However, it is believed that the quality
will be equally as good. It is predicted
that the students will be very much
pleased with the new features which
are being added. Student support
seems to be much better than last year.
