Another Clean-Up Day
Now that the grass is beginnnig
to turn green again and all the
leaves have fallen, the days are
warm and are growing longer and
spring is really here, why not let's
have another clean-up day?
Guilford has one of the most
naturally beautiful campuses in
the state and it is time that the
natural beauty of spring be given a
chance to show forth from beneath
the bed of leaves that covers the
campus.
Last year a day was set aside
for this purpose; all classes were
disbanded for the day, every one j
put on his old clothes and got busy
raking, burning, and hauling the
leaves. The day was one of mutual
enjoyment: the students had a
great time while they were work
ing and the college was saved the
expense of hiring some one to do
the work.
We suggest that.there at least
be some thought given to this mat
ter. We are sure that the idea
would appeal to the majority of
the students and we believe that
the faculty would also approve of
such a step.

Progressives
One of the chief improvements
mentioned in the report of Dr. Bin
ford to the Board of Trustees at
their last regular meeting was the
rapid advancement of the music
department. Though steps for this
improvement have been going on
for several years, the greatest
strides have been made last year
and this.
Last year Mr. Max Noah came
to Guilford as music instructor,
lie was the first full-time director
of the Men's Glee Club and under
his guidance this organization has
come to be one of the most success
ful and valuable institutions on the
campus.
Not content alone with the suc
cess of the Minnesingers, Mr. Noah
then organized the Girls' Glee
Club, known as the Euphonians,
and the Community Choral Society.
All this was a splendid start but
evidently Mr. Noah felt that he
was incapable of bearing the bur
den of responsibility alone, for
when he returned he brought with
him an able and willing helper,
Mrs. Noah. Their work at Guilt
ford this year cannot be lauded too t
highly. Mrs. Noah took over the a
full-time directorship of the Eu- u
phonians and they have had a re- g
markably successful season. Re- y
lieved of the directorship of that
organization, ]\lr. Noah developed o
the Minnesingers until they were li
able to win second place in the i
state glee club contest. I
The Messiah, given by the Coin- 1
munity Choral Society, was a musi- I
cal triumph for Guilford College, t
Now plans are under way to §
convert the old Y. M. C. A. build
ing into a music hall. These steps f
have come in regular order, mark- t
ing a path of steady progress, and |,
these two directors have succeeded j
in placing the department of music \
in the foreground of Guilford Col- j
lege activities. ]

Coach Shepard
It was learned during the past j
week that Coach Norman Shepard
will not return to Guilford next ,
year. This statement came as a
surprise and shock to the students
and members of the alumni asso
ciation who are well pleased with
the athletic record of Guilford this
year under his management.
Coach leaves Guilford to assume
the role of head coach at Randolph-
Macon in Virginia. Doubtless he
will get more for his services at the
larger institution and his contract
is for three years.
We join in the general sentiment
of hating to .see Shepard leave
Guilford. lie is doubtless the best
coach that has been at Guilford for
■ several years. The Quaker foot
' ball team was one of the most suc
' cessful that ever represented the
1 local institution and followers of
I the Quaker fortune were even more
i optimistic over next year's possi
• bilities.
In addition to Coach Shepard's
> success in a material way, he
seemed to fit in well with the gen
eral policies and ideas of the eol
- lege. However, Coach is only half
i the reason we hate to see him go.
He may have been the active board
: of strategy, but it was Mrs. Shep
? ard who served the boys suppers
that make them forget the hard
knocks of the athletic contests. She
Coach Shepard will be sorely
5 missed at Guilford College next
- year.
Tt is .going to be hard to replace
5 him and as yet there are no definite
prospects in view, but it is hoped
5 that the administration will be as
1 fortunate in replacing him as they
t were Pat Crawford last year.

Introspection
e Recently there has existed a de
. cided state of unrest among the
r girls on the campus in regard to
r the present statutes of the Wom
s en's Student Council,
i- Members of the council, as well
e as the majority of the other girls,
have become offended at the solu
'- tion of certain incidents which
h have come up from time to time,
e They feel that the council is not
3, fulfilling the purpose for which it
J . was created, that of giving the girls
t a mode of self-government,
e Whether this be the truth or not,
•- we are not in position to say. llow
r ever, we do happen to know the
h opinions of many of the girls in re
% gard to the situation. They feel
THE GUILFORDIAN
that by a steady shearing process
they have been shorn of their duties
and privileges as council members
until at last their so-called student
government is but a joke—-a joke of
which they are the butt.
Unfortunately these expressions
of dissatisfaction alluded to above
have been forcibly expressed only
in small groups in more or less
private places. This is cowardly.
Furthermore, little close-together.
I 'll-tell-you-you-tell-me groups of
this kind are a detestable form of
gossip.
These little indignation groups
are also dangerous in that they
may become vicarious reactions. It
would be far better to have one
real, honest-to-goodness outburst
than to have a brooding, smoulder
ing atmosphere of dissatisfaction
pervade the campus for the rest of
the year.
Surely the offending parties are
not altogether unreasonable.
If the girls really have a griev
ance, they should not mind laying
the facts squarely before that per
son or persons. Just what is the
matter? Are the Guilford girls
like the mice who were going to tie

Everything went along fine, the
