MISS SHARPLESS VISITS

MRS. HAWORTH HOSTESS AT TEA
Miss Aimie Sharpless, who is travel
ing in the interest of the international
education work in the colleges, and who
is also connected with Young Friends
Service, recently visited Guilford and
gave several talks before the different
religious organizations.
Miss Sharpless is an old Westtown
scholar and was in school with several
of the Guilford students. While she
was here Mrs. Samuel Haworth gave a
tea for old Westtown students.
Last summer Miss Sharpless visited
the World Youth's Peace conference in
Holland, at which there were then 500
young people from all over the world
meeting in behalf of peace. After such
an opportunity Miss Sharpless decided
that she should do something of prac
tical value and so this year is taken
between her sophomore and junior years
at Mount Holyoke so that she may visit
various colleges throughout the country
for the promotion of interest in peace.
She has already visited 40 colleges
throughout the United States and this
month will wind up her activities.
Ray Parrish, captain of the baseball
team this year, finished the season with
an average of .470; over half these hits
were for extra bases. In addition to
being a threat at bat, Captain Parrish
was also a star in the outfield.

May 17.—The chapel period this
morning was devoted to the celebration
of the 80th birthday of Dr. L. L. Hobbs,
president emeritus of the college and a
well-known and beloved figure in the
North Carolina educational world.
Since 1870 he has been connected with
New Garden Boarding School and Guil
ford College, serving as president of
the college for twenty-seven years of
that time.
Dr. and Mrs. Hobbs as they sat on
the platform made a fine example for
the Guilford students. Dr. Ilobbs is a
man of marked intellectual attain
ments but he has never allowed this to
separate him from people of every walk
of life. The people of his community,

June I.—Saturday afternoon at 4
o'clock the class of '29 presented the sen
ior play, "The Land of Heart's Desire,"
by Yeats. The play proved to be one of
the most entertaining of the year's dra
matic productions.
The plot deals with Irish folk-lore,
Mary and Shawn Bruin are two newly
weds. In the evening Mary finds a book
of fairy tales which she reads until they
become very realistic to her. One story
is that if a newly married bride gives
away milk and honey on May Eve the
fairies will come and take her away.
Soon after Mary has laid down the book
the Fairy Child comes and asks for milk
and then honey. Mary gives them to
her and even takes down the crucifix as
the Fairy Child asks that she may have
full power there. Thereupon the Fairy
Child performs a dance and asks Mary
to go with her. The play ends with the
death of Mary.
The cast was as follows:
Maurteen Bruin—Robert Atkinson.
Shawn Bruin—Reginald Marshall.
Father Hart—Stanley Moore.
Mary Bruin—Esther Eeece.
Bridget Bruin—Alice Hazard.
A Fairy Child—Jo Paul.

if called upon to testify today, would
speak of him as friend and neighbor as
well as teacher.
At that period in life when men are
usually bowed and broken both in body
and in mind, this teacher still retains
Ins youthful vigor, grasping problems
with a quickness which men far
younger would do well to copy and
bears witness with his quick step and
erect body to moderation of living that
he has always practiced.
In his talk to the students Dr. Hobbs
said that he was sure that much of the
credit for his splendid health was due
to his baseball playing; he has an un
usual interest in this sport and still
likes to tell of old experiences on the
diamond.
SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED
TO GUILFORD STUDENTS
Davis, Jassimides, and Van der Voort
Are Rewarded for Their Outstand
ing Accomplishments
Three members of the graduating
class were fortunate enough to have
scholarships awarded them and they
will continue their studies next year as
a result of these awards. Paul Jassi
medes, a ministerial student, has been
awarded a fellowship at Biblical Semi
nary in New York. This fellowship
runs for three years and is equivalent
to about S6OO a year.
The Haverford scholarship was won by
Robert Van der Voort, of Pittsburgh,
Pa. Mr. Van der Voort plans to take
some work in philosophy and chemistry
at Haverford.
Walter Davis, of Yadkinville, has
won a teaching fellowship in physics at
the University of Florida. Mr. Davis
will spend part time as instructor and
the rest of his time will be devoted to
study and research in advanced work
in physics.
Former Guilford College hoys now in
professional ball are having a very good
seasoji this year. Eiek Ferrell is with
St. Louis National League team and
will probably see much active service
before the year is over. Shirt Smith,
the other member of this famous Guil
ford battery, is in the Texas league.
Moore Rabb has got off to a good start
with Toledo in the International league.
Paul Coltrane, who is in the Eastern
Carolina league, has won five games
and lost only one up to date.
The sacred privilege of lying has
been one of the inalienable rights of
man since the days of free education.

SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
GIVEN FOR SENIORS
Binfords Give Dinner and Re
ception—Miss Ricks Also
Entertains
ARE INVITED TO PERISHOS
May 25.—Dr. and Mrs. Raymond Bin
ford gave their annual reception for
the Guilford seniors at their home this
afternoon from 4 till 6. The reception
was an informal affair and there were
about 150 guests, including the faculty
and seniors. There were a great many
visitors from several nearby towns.
The reception was held on the lawn
in front of the president's home and
the visitors mingled with the members
of the senior class, becoming acquainted
with them. Orange ice and cake were
served.
Following the reception, the seniors
were guests at a dinner given for them
by the president and Mrs. Binford. The
dinner, too, was an informal affair and
most of the group sat on the lawn dur
ing this part of the entertainment.
On Wednesday evening, May 23, Miss
Ricks entertained at dinner at the O.
Henry Hotel in honor of her niece, Miss
Nancy White, of Franklin, Virginia, who
graduates with this year's class.
Appropriate decorations suggestive of
the May-time were carefully carried out.
Covers were laid for the following:
Misses Josephine Paul, Mary Lou Wil
kins, Esther Reece, Nancy White, Cath
erine Ricks, Virginia Ragsdale, Frances
Osborne, Ruth Bundy; Messrs. James
Bunn, Reginald Marshall, Cranford
Hoyle, Loyless Melvin, John Lippin
cott, Scott Parker, and James M.
Harper.
Dr. and Mrs. Perisho have been giv
ing a series of breakfasts, luncheons,
and dinners at their little cottage in
honor of the members of the graduating
class and the faculty. These guests
have been invited down in groups of
ten and twelve; this was due partly to
the difficulty of giving a large party
and partly for the purpose of lending
a more personal atmosphere to these oc
casions.
Members of these groups have amused
themselves in various ways, a favorite
one being the writing of a prophecy
which is sealed and left in care of Mrs.
Perisho. The prophecy is to contain
things which the person wished to hap
pen in a given length of time; when
this is past he is to return to the Per
isho's home and see just how far he has
fulfilled his purpose.
