PARAGRAPHICS
As the result of exposure re
ceived—at the close of the Minne
singer Glee Club concert Saturday
night, Jimmy Harper was confined
to his room all day Sunday suffer
ing with rheumatism.
The freshmen captured "C'as
sieopia" from her bedroom, the col
lege pasture, for the sophomore
class sponsor. After smearing her
dainty hips with a prominent
"32," they tied her securely to the
magnolia tree in front of Founders.
Mr. Purdom boasts proudly:
"My mail has been rapidly increas
ing due to the many regrets I re
ceive from my fair admirers."
The only objection to the pro
posed $1,300,000 endowment is that
it ignores the vital need of better
roads and walks.
Nctttie Rayle appearing in the
role of an Italian street girl singing
from "Naughty Marietta" was the
hit of the Minnesingers concert.
After planning a picnic for two
consecutive rainy Sunday morn
ings, the committee of Dean True
blood's class announces that an
other attempt will be made next
Sunday if the weather is in any
way favorable.
"The New Staff Speaks"
When brought face to face with
the responsibility of editing and
managing the GUILFORDIAN, we
realize the immensity of the task
which is ours. We feel an accom
panying sense of grattitude and ap
preciation for the work of our pred
cessors who through earnest and
consistant effort have salvaged the
publication from threatening sands
of bankruptcy. In this we cannot
over-estimate the efficient leader
ship of Prof. Duane McCracken
and the ability of the new business
manager, Wade Mackie.
We are launching forth upon a
sea which is, for us, unexplored
and we entreat the patience ot' our
readers with our first efforts. We
are keenly aware of our liability to
error but shall earnestly strive to
maintain the public favor now
existing toward the GUILFORDIAN.
We are not offering alibis but
merely acknowledging the greatness
of our problem and responsibility.
This is the product of the first
effort of the new board and we sin
cerely believe that following issues
may be an improvement thereupon.
Co-operate with us that this may
not prove to be unfounded burst of
optimism.
In closing, it is fitting to pay
tribute to the editor who has served
so faithfully and efficiently during
this year. The GUILFORDIAN is in
debted to his abilities and keen in
tellect. He was truly a master of
occasions.
Almost a Reality
Members of the student body and
faculty have been very much
pleased with the passing of the stu
dent activities fee and have re
alized that it is a great step for
ward toward a better Guilford.
Now since this has happened. Dr.
Binford tells us of the beginning
of a new day for Guilford along
the line of a big expansion pro
gram, A brief review of this step
shows a seven-year program of ex
pansion which will involve the rais
ing of a total Centennial fund
within that seven-year period of
$1,250,000 and an additional fund
pending the increasing of the en
dowment of $25,000 a year by the
Guilford College Centennial Club.
This campaign, which was ap
proved by the Alumnae Associa
tion, will get underway imme
diately.
The new fund will provide for
an endowment which will be more
than double its present size and
new construction which will involve
costs of more than $300,000. As
outlined by Dr. Binford the items
that appear on the things that are
to he done include the following:
Increasing of the endowment from
$590,000 to $1,300,000; construc
tion of new class rooms, laboratories
and museum to King Hall,
$200,000; gymnasium, $65,000;
gymnasium equipment, $10,000;
athletic field, $10,000; stadium,
$10,000; infirmary, $10,000; presi
dent's home, $20,000; faculty
homes, $17,000; shop, $2,500; heat
ing and water improvements,
$40,000; equipment, $8,000; elimi
nation of debt, SIOO,OOO.
To many of us this seems only
as a very improbable dream, yet
we consider that most anything is
possible, especially when it is en
tering into sincerily and with
an earnest determination to suc
ceed. This project is one of the
best things we have heard of lately,
and it is our duty to support it in
every way we can. Our dream of a
Greater Guilford is now having its
first step toward reality and let us
enter into this new period by con
tinuing the fine spirit of co-opera
tion and fellowship which has pre
dominated on the campus this year.

MINNESINGERS GIVE HOME
CONCERT IN RARE MANNER

quartet gave a humorous, yet quaint
and sweet, Southern lullaby.
Following the quartet, the chorus
sang two excellent religious numbers,
"Still. Still with Thee," and "Lead
Kindly Light." The program was at
its best with the next, "Italian Street
Song from 'Naughty Marietta'". Each
of the Minnesingers was wearing the
jaunty colored sash of the Italian at
his waist, and everyone sang with the
tire and passionate love for singing the
nationality they were portraying is
noted for. Miss Nettie Rayle was a
typical dark-eyed Italian girl, and her
bright, costume made her the airy,

Over the Horizon
HERE they come—the nucleus of an all-electric
merchant marine. Yesterday, they were a dream.
To-day, they are well over the horizon, linking the ports
of the east and west coasts with fortnightly service. The
goal of the Panama Pacific Line is to build three more
turbine-electric ships, thus enabling weekly New York-
Frisco sailings.
Even now, the three liners, California, Virginia, and
Pennsylvania, constitute the largest fleet of turbine-electric

the song, her sweet soprano was the

voice gave such an ending to the num

rythm and swagger of the negro spirit

Marvin Lindley, Bunyan Andrews, and

as a "scream" in their "Three White
