PRESIDENT New Officers Installed in Impressive Ceremony—Reynolds Is Vice-Presi dent—Cabinet Is Selected. At the regular meeting of the Young Women's Christian Association, which was held in the meeting house Thursday evening April 10, the new officers for the coming year were installed. Just prior to the installation, Georgia Fulk very effectively rendered special music, which gave an atmosphere of worship fulness to the meeting. In the absence of Catherine Cox outgoing president, Annie Kate Neal, outgoing vice-presi dent presided. She introduced each of the officers and each of the cabinet members, and they in turn told some thing of their duties, and introduced their successors. The following officers were installed: President, Louise Melville; Vice-Presi dent, Mary Beynolds; Secretary, Mar guerite Slate; Treasurer, Leona Guthrie. Cabinet members: Social, Alice Con rad; Service, Julia Plummer; Beligious, meetings, Grace Hassell; Bible Study, Isabella Jinnette; World fellowship, Virginia Hiatt; Publicity, Frances Car ter; Music, Argyle Elliott ; Undergradu ate representative, Jean Cochran. The officers were elected by the young women at large, and the Cabinet mem bers chosen by the executive committee. The entire group seems very efficient, and Avork for the coming year bids fair to be successful. (U THE so GUILFORDIAN Friday Night (April 18) "SKIDDING" 8:15 A Real Treat Under Direction ot' Dramatic Council PROF. M'CRACKEN IN MINNESOTA University Library and Former Professor, Chief Assets in Completing Thesis. WILL RETURN JUNE FIRST Mr. Duane McCracken, head of the Economics Department, left Guilford recently for the University of Minne sota, where he will finish his work for a Ph. D. degree. While away, Mr. McCrac ken is staying at the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. 1?. C. Caffin. Mr. McCracken found it necessary to return to the University for several reasons. In the first place he will be near the professor under whom he majored in Economics. This will enable him to obtain any advice he might need, and he will have access to the University library, where he will be able to straighten out bibliographies for his thesis. Some oral examinations and his thesis, are the only things which Mr. McCracken needs to complete before he is awarded his degree. For his thesis, "The Use and Effects of Injunctions in Labor Disputes," much of the ma terial is from accounts of the recent labor uprisings in Marion, N. C., and Elizabethton, Tenn. Because of his plans for summer school direction Mr. Mc- Cracken will return the last of May. For this reason he will not be present at the Mid-June Commencement where his degree will be conferred. OPEN FORUM IS HELD IN ROMANTIC SETTING Last Wednesday night at about 9:30, the girls of both Founders and New Garden Halls were very much surprised when suddenly ordered to dress warmly and assemble in the halls, where thoy were to keep strict silence while waiting for fur ther orders. Then, when everybody had responded, the girls were mar shalled together in ranks, two by two, and marched out of the dormi tories, down the road past the presi dent's home, and on to a wide clear ing where a huge cheery bonfire sent up sprays of sparks into the darkness. Here the somewhat dazed but altogether pleased group formed a wide circle about the blazing fire, sang a number of songs, and then were served big luscious marsh mallows which the girls, themselves, soon had roasting on the ends of long sticks held over the flames. Later, after a very interesting, and at the same time, very helpful Open Forum —session held beneath a be witching moon, the happy company broke up and strolled contentedly dorm-ward, singing gay snatches of songs, laughing and talking in the moonlight.

C., APRIL 15, 1930 Centennial Program Discussed At Banquet Faculty Honors Community People At Informal Dinner to Ex plain the Campaign for Endowment—Several Honor Guests Make Speeches Endorsing Project—Friendly, Co-operative Spirit Pervades Program. The past week has been a significant one in Guilford's history, for it has been the inauguration of a great cam paign for endowment and expansion which will not end until Guilford Col lege passes her one-hundreth birthday in 1937. On Tuesday night Dr. Binford presented a definite well-organized plan to the faculty, on Thursday and Friday he spoke of it to the students assembled in chapel, and on Friday , night the president and members of the faculty entertained the community people at dinner in order that they might know what the college was planning to do and offer their encouragement and support. During dinner Mr. Hole told of his experiences as he had driven through the community inviting the guests and Mrs. Binford made a speech which em phasized the part each person has in weaving the web of Guilford's existence. Following her, Mr. Henry Crutchfield made plain the interdependence of col- APPALACHIAN LOSES TO LOCAL DEBATERS L. Murphy and R. Farlow Give Logical Argument Against Total Disarmament. HARD TO DECIDE WINNER On Friday evening, in Memorial Hall, the affirmative debating team from Applaehian State Normal met our nega tive team. This debate was one of a series sponsored by the North Carolina Forensic Association and the results were noted with more than local inter est. Both teams used unusual persua sive powers and the final decision of the judges in favor of the negative, Guil ford, was one which required much consideration. "That the nation should adopt a plan of complete disarmament except such forces as are needed for police protec tion," is the query which was selected for universal riscussion; and both groups presented well arranged argu ments. The first affirmative speaker, Charles Norton, advocated that every nation completely disarm. He based his argu ment on the fact that disarment is desirable from an economic standpoint. Every year we spend thousands of dol lars in armament. And with the money used for arms and amunition one could build a road forty fee wide from the Atlantic to the Pacific —with free Coca Cola stands every three miles and a free gasoline station every fifteen miles. Many worthwhile internal improvements might be made and much educational advantage gained through using the money spent in building battleships. Leslie Murphy, first negative speaker, presented two kinds of reforms: that complete disarmament is not desirable now because of the failure of the great international attempts toward world peace—that the nations are not ready for disarmament; and that we should be left unprotected. "Armaments are not a cause of war, but a preventive!" And we must uphold the traditions of our country and preserve respect and pro tection. Frank Ilauser, affirmative, contended (Continued on Page Three) lege and community as he showed the benefits each received from the other. Mrs. Cannon and Mrs. W. A. White spoke interestingly of their long and friendly relations with the college. The theme of both talks was the impossibi lity of there being a Guilford College community without a college, for as Mrs. Cannon said, adapting the fresh man's remark on seeing the giraffe, "There just ain't any such animal." Dr. Binford called the attention of the interested audience to the booklets placed at each plate and explained the program outlined in them. At the con clusion of his speech, he introduced Dr. L. L. Hobbs, president emeritus, who was given an ovation as he rose to speak. He offered his approval of what Dr. Binford had said then read a reso lution in support of the centennial pro gram. Mr. O. R. Stout, Mrs. C. R. Bird, Mr. Paul Lindley, and Mr. Joseph Cox (Continued on Page Three) SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS HAS PICNIC BREAKFAST Dean Trueblood's Group Has a Contest for Attendance; Boys Lose; Girls Are Guests. "WORSHIP" IS TOPIC DISCUSSED Dean Trueblood's Sunday school class of nearly forty members paraded early Sunday morning to have a picnic break fast where there used to be a so-called college pond. The picnic was the cul mination of an exciting contest between the boys and girls in class attendance — the ladies won! Seven-thirty is an untold hour for college students to be abroad and a few of the fellows were a little behind time but managed to arrive on time because of the kindness of Mr. Trueblood in driving them to the pond. Austin Garner was chairman of the breakfast committee and was assisted by Dave West, Curtis Swaim and Rock Denny. They prepared a wonderful (Continued on Page Three) PRESS ASSOCIATION TO MEET IN HIGH POINT Members of the Guilfordian board have received an invitation from High Point College to attend the North Carolina Collegiate Press Convention, to be held there on April 24, 25, and 26. Several mem bers of the staff are planning to attend. It is the object of the Convention to promote good fellowship among college journalists of the state and to bring about a higher class of work in the field of College publi cations. According to reports, the convention will be addressed by some of the most outstanding men in the state in the field of journal ism. Plans are being made for ban quets, teas, theatre parties, lunch cans, and other social functions. These meeting are held twice a year. Last fall it was held at Lenior-Rhyne. At this meeting in High Point asked for it to be held there, and it was readily accepted. At the meeting this spring officers will be elected and the plan for the next meeting will be decided upon. Guilford College April 18 A'CAPELLA CHOIR SPRING PROGRAM OPENED SUNDAY Jamestown and High Point Hear First Selections Given by Local Group. MRS. NOAH IS DIRECTOR Well Executed Religious Program Gave Variety of Arrangements From Noted Composers. Jamestown heard the Guilford College A Capella Choir in the first presentation of its spring program last Sunday after noon. The ehoir sang again at the Friends church in High Point at 7 :30 in the evening. The first number, chosen to bring the audience gently into the heart of the program, gave the singers as well as those who listened the feeling that its words spoke—"The Lord is in His Holy Temple." The success of the group of Bach chorales following was partially due to the spirit created by the introduc tory number. In both the afternoon and evening concerts, the audience was very appreciative of the quiet hymnal sweetness of the five chorales. The Women gave two numbers, "The Lord is My Shepherd," and "I Come to Thee," which were quite good. The first of the next group was sung in its original Latin form. The composer was William Byrd, a writer of the sixteenth century. The composition is called "Ave Verum Corpus;" the translation is "Hail, O Hail, True Body." Miss Rayle and Mrs. Noah added much to the beauty of two of the four remaining songs in this group with solo parts. The men sang "Still, Still With Thee," and "Lead Kindly Light," followed by the last group which were compositions by Gavaert, Dvork, and an arrangement by Fred Hall. The last negro spiritual called "Steal Away," which the famous Dayton Westminster Choir has given. Between the two programs, the Choir enjoyed the hospitality of the James town people, who gave them a wonderful supper. CHARACTERS CHOSEN FOR MAY DAY FESTIVAL Leading Roles Will Be Carried by Sen iors—Juniors and Sophomores Cast in Minor Roles. if ' Characters for the spring festival to be given May 1, have been chosen, and plans for its presentation are moving forward nicely. The main characters are prominent members of the senior class, while members of the junior and sophomore classes support them in the minor roles. The cast to be chosen follows: Prosepina, Queen of the May, Lena Farlow; Ceres, her mother, Annie Ray; Pluto, god of the under world, Leona Guthrie; Cupid, Katie Stuekey; Winter, Louise Melville; North Wind, Mary Reynolds; Water Nymph, Ger trude Blow; Messenger from Jupiter, Lottie Stafford; Herald, Jean Cochran. There are eight Grecian maidens who attend Ceres. These are members of the senior class. May pole dances are given by the freshmen, while the juniors give a snowball dance. The pageant is based on a beautiful Greek myth. It is to be given on the lawn near the library. The evening loveliness of the campus will add a great deal to the beauty of its presentation. Visit Reidsville Verna Andrews and Marie Beacham were guests of Ester Roach at her home in Reidsville the past week-end. NUMBER 13
