National Officers Extend
Greetings—Many From
Community Attend
The North Carolina Congress of
Parents and Teachers, the benevolent
guardian of the future citizens of this
state, held its twelfth annual con
vention in High Point on the 10th,
11th, and 12th days of November.
At the meeting on Monday night,
which was presided over by Mrs. Bin
ford, state president, Miss Frances
Hayes of the national organization
gave a glowing picture of the growth
of the united binding together of the
home and the school in the interest of
the child. "She cited as the chief pur
pose of the Parent-Teacher unit the
sponsoring of the education of the
child, that he may make a good citizen
and a rich character through his
whole life."
Dr. Frank Howard Richardson, in
troduced by Dr. Duane McCracken of
Guilford College, state corresponding
secretary, lent himself to the theme
of adolescence which he put in the
simple term "growing up." He dis
cussed malnutrition and physical de
fects as probable hindrances to a
child's school life.
On Wednesday, November 12, Mrs.
Raymond Binford, who was re-elected
as president of the state organization,
gave an account of the association s
work during the past year, advising
that they used the radio more and
more for publicity.
Greetings from three national offi
cers, Mrs. Hugh Bradford of the Na
tional Congress of Parents and Teach
ers; Mrs. David O. Mears, chairman
of Founders Day observance; and
Mrs. Charles H. Remington, chairman
of the National Magazine, were read
by Mrs. Binford.
A large delegation of Parents and
Teachers from all over the state was
present at each meeting. Those going
from the local association were:
Mrs. H. L. Cannon, Mrs. Walter Coble,
Mrs. T. L. Matlock, Mrs. Duane Mc-
Cracken, president of the local organ
ization, Miss Eleanor Fox, Mrs. L. L.
White, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Copelands,
and Mrs. Ada Wheeler.
After a successful three-day meet
ing, the convention adjourned after
deciding on Wilmington as the con
vention city for 1931.

Director of Music In Goldsboro
High School Entertains
With Violin Recital
On Sunday afternoon, November 16,
Professor K. E. Hurst, director of
music in the Goldsboro high school
and head of the music department of
Pineland College gave a program of
violin melodies. He was accompanied
by Miss Huth, German professor of
the college.
During the summer, Prof. Hurst
directs a band in New York City. Be
fore taking up his work in Goldsborc,
Mr. Hurst played wwith an organiza
tion known as the "Traveling Trou
badours." With this company he trav
eled all over the United States pre
senting musical programs.
GROUP OF GIRLS ROB COLLEGE KITCHEN OF ITS
UTENSILS AND ORGANIZE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
A unique orchestra presented itself
in chapel Thursday morning, Novem
ber 6th. Lucille Patterson, who direct
ed, had a long wooden batoon, with a
sharp pronged end. The director came
and banged her batoon on an instru
ment she had brought for the purpose,
and the music began.
There were two first violinists, and
two second violinists. How the high
quivering tones, and the low, sweet
notes came from those instruments!
The cellos boomed out their deep ac
companiment. At frequent intervals,
the cymbals did their bell-like parts,
the ringing music giving volume in a
pleasing way to the whole. The big
bass viol—what orchestra could be
without it? —gave the "base" need
ed. Of course the drum was there too.
In fact, a complete orchestra, with
piano accompaniment, was gotten up
THE 'Nj
GUILFORDIAN
LOCAL PEOPLE GUESTS
OF HIGH POINT FRIENDS
FOR CHURCH SUPPER
Mr. Henry R. Dwire, Director
of Public Relations at
Duke, Is Speaker
WORLD PEACE DISCUSSED
In response to the cordial invitation
of Reverend Tom Sykes, a score of
Guilfordians journeyed on Tuesday
night, November 11, to the Friends
Church of High Point, where they at
tended one of the Friends' weekly sup
pers. The speaker for this occasion
was Mr. Henry R. Dwire, director of
Public Relations and Alumni Affairs
at Duke University.
After a delicious meal (in which
the Guilfordians did not escape their
good old baked apples) a male quar
tet, composed of Tom Sykes, Norman
Fidler, Joe Cox, and Willars Menden
hall, rendered two beautiful selec
tions.
Since this was his third public ap
pearance at this Church, the speaker
was introduced by Mr. C. F. Tomlin
son, who presided, as an old friend
of those present. Mr. Dwire spoke on
a subject of vital interest to the world
and especially to all Quakers. The
topic was "World Peace and the
Church."
"Civilization," he said, "is a con
tract between the dead, the living, and
the yet unborn." Then he continued
by telling of the heroic deeds and
the great sufferings borne during the
World War by those who did nothing
to bring it on. This happened in the
past.
He then showed how the present
suffers on account of the war by the
great debt which it left unpaid and
by the loss of lives on the field and
through disease. "It is our duty," he
explained "to care for those who took
part in the great conflict."
"The supreme problems for the fu
ture," Mr. Dwire continued, "is world
fellowship." He showed how only this
can overcome the three problems left
by the Great War: (1) Hatred among
nations; (2) Racial antagonism; and
(3) Modern inventions for destruc
tion.
After showing how the Church can
aid World Peace, Mr. Dwire conclud
ed by saying, "World Peace is a
great challenge to the Church, and I
believe the Church is going to meet
it."
Faculty Men's Club
Holds Luncheon
The Faculty Men's Club had its
regular meeting on Tuesday, Novem
ber 18. The Junior Foods Class of the
Home Economics Department has
been entertaining the club with bi
monthly luncheons. And this meeting
was made doubly attractive by a
Thanksgiving theme in the luncheon
arrangements. The club, under Mr.
Noah's leadership, has assumed varied
regalia and systematic antics—derat
ing volley-ball pursuits. A challenge
stands—which, when played, will
probably result in a bruised Faculty
crew—and a victorious Senior team of
girls who know their volleying!
in one week by a group of Guilford
College students.
There's the secret of it. Miss Wilbur
was, it has been whispered, at the
head of the scheme. They robbed the
kitchen! The first violinists used
knives and glasses; the second violin
ists spoons and milk bottles. The big
jugs which took the place of cellos
were as good as the thing they imitat
ed. Now the cymbals were the really
difficult instruments, for they were
hard to hold. Greasy pot lids are us
ually like that, you know. Volume
galore came from the kettle (the
drum). And now no lowly kitchen in
strument could take the place of the
important bass viol; so a long handled
shovel—the kind one digs with—was
brought into play.
Thus the kitchen symphony orches
tra made its debut; and it is said to
be quite a successful modern jazz
orchestra.

Georgia Fulk Appears In
Entertaining Piano Recital
Program Includes Numbers From Classic Writers of the Modern
School of Music —Glenn Robertson, Tenor Soloist,
Assists—His Quality of Voice Captivates Audience
On Saturday evening, November 1,
1930, at eight o'clock Georgia Fulk,
pianist, gave a recital assisted by
Glenn Robertson, tenor.
Advanced in her study of music,
Miss Fulk gave a very creditable per
formance, and the quality of Mr. Rob
ertson's voice quite captivated the au
dience. The program included numbers
from the classic writers of the mod
ern school of music, as well as the old
masters.
Miss Fulk first played Beethoven's
Sonata, Opus 2, Number 3. This diffi
cult number was nicely interpreted
Week of Prayer Observed
By Local College Y.W.C.A.
The Y. W. C. A. has just finished
its annual observation of what is
called the "Week of Prayer." Each
year one week in November is set
aside by the society's headquarters
for the purpose of uniting all
branches of the Y. W. throughout the
world. By the offering up of prayer
and the holding of meetings on defi
nite topics of interest to the Christian
world, this aim is accomplished.
At Guilford during the past week
the Y. W. has held nightly prayer
meetings in Founders and New Gar
den Halls. Individual groups with

N. C. Forensic Association
Holds Annual Gathering in
High Point
A push, a heave, more pushes and
shoves; mingled with exclamations as
the "old reliable" of Dr. Perisho
gained its usual momentum as it
rolled down the hill in front of the
laundry.
Such were the preliminary activi
ties of the Debating Council as it be
gan its work a few weeks ago. The
"old reliable" was transporting Dr.
Perisho and other members of the
Council to High Point College to the
annual meeting of the N. C'. Intercol
legiate Forensic Association. This
meeting was attended by representa
tives of the "Little Seven." The
query decided upon by the group was:
"Resolved that the United States
should adopt a policy of free trade."
To discuss this query a tentative
schedule composed of the triangular
with High Point and Lenoir-Rhyne,
and single debates with Appalachian
and Elon were arranged. Guilford was
fortunate in having Wilbert Braxton,
one of its council members elected
vice-president of the Intercollegiate
Forensic Association.
Under the leadership of Edward
Blair as president of the council, we
are expecting a successful year. Oth
er veterans from last year's squad are
Ralto Farlow, James Harper, and
Simpson Garner. With the addition of
new talent, Guilford should compare
favorably with other colleges, as the
past teams have done.
with the contrast between the move
ments nicely defined.
"Where'er You Walk," by Handel,
and the familiar "Old Road" by Scott,
were sung by Mr. Robertson.
Continuing the piano numbers, Miss
Fulk played Chopin's Valse Brilliante,
Opus 34, Number 1, the "Witches
Dance" by MacDowell, and Rachman
inoff's Prelude, Opus 3, Number 2.
The program was concluded by a
group of three numbers sung by Mr.
Robertson: "A Brown Bird Singing,"
Wood; "Sylvia," Speaks; "The Home
Song," Gaertner.
special leaders met in the various
parts of each dormitory.
The topics were as follows: Sunday,
Nov. 9, "God's Perfect Revelation in
Christ." Monday, Nov. 10, "Man's
Need of God." Tuesday, Nov. 11, "Di
vided Christendom and the One
Christ." Wednesday, Nov. 12, "Sin and
the Lordship of Christ in the Indi
vidual."
Thursday, Nov. 13, "Sin in National
Life." Friday, Nov. 14, "The Divisions
Between Nations and the Unity of
God's Kingdom." Saturday, Nov. 15,
"God's Victory and Our Obedience."
A'Capella Choir
Progressing Well
Group Seem Not to Mind Work
—Concerts Arranged For
Near Future
Intensive training and hard work
have now become a means to an end
for the A'Capella choir. The type of
work done this fall has been very
good, and Mr. Noah is exceedingly
well-pleased with the spirit in the
choir. The entire group seem to have
no fear of hard work and every in
dividual seems to have entered each
time with renewed vigor. This fact
may be due to concerts which are to
be given within the next two or three
months.
The entire program which is to be
given in concert has been read
through and practically memorized.
The remaining task is in the proper
interpretation of the numbers, which
will perhaps be a tedious and long
drawn out process, well worth the
trouble in the end.
Besides the prospects of concerts in
the local community and neighboring
towns, the Choir is looking forward
with keen anticipation to the spon
soring of a benefit program for the
Lions club of Greensboro sometime
after Christmas. This will be a very
elaborate occasion and one that will
test the stability of the Choir.
DR. PERISHO SI'OKE RECENTLY
Dr. Perisho spoke recently at Bes

MISS WELTON OF N.C.G.W
TALKS TO YOUNG WOMEN
DURING CHAPEL PERIOD
Aspects of Modern Social Work
Are Discussed in Inter
esting Way
PERSONAL CASES TOLD
On Thursday, November 13, Miss
Ernestine Welton, a graduate of N. C.
C. W., spoke to the women students
during the chapel period. Miss Wel
ton, who is now connected with the
social work of her Alma Mater, was
introduced by Miss Killingsworth,
Dean at N. C. C. W. Her topic was
"Social Work."
After graduating from college in
1928, Miss Welton accepted a position
in Cleveland, Ohio. Later she came to
Tidewater, Virginia, and took a job
with the Virginia Children's Home
Society. While doing this work, Miss
Welton had some very novel experi
ences. She and her helper had charge
of seventeen counties. Their only
means of transportation was an old
model "tin lizzie;" they had to work
long hours; they had difficulty with
some county superintendents; and
they lacked facilities, nurses and
finances. However, they were helping
other people and at the same time en
joying the work and helping them
selves.
Miss Welton said that almost every
one had some conception of social
service work, but many thought of it
as the "missionary barrel." The new
est form of social work is the idea
of case work and a fundamental law
of good case work is to preserve the
family. In case work every individual
is treated separately according to his
particular case. Social work is using
one's own personality to teach and
giving other people the opportunity
for a full life.
Richmond, Atlanta, and Alabama
have very good social facilities, but
most social workers in the south can
not have a differentiated job. They
have to be able to do every thing.
Our speaker seemed to think that
social work had opened up a new field
for women in the south.
Effective Chapel
Program Rendered
Several mornings ago, the regular
chapel service was rendered doubly
attractive and effectual by the novel
performance of the choir.
After the rest of the student-body
had already entered and taken their
respective places in the auditorium,
the A Capella choir, marching in two's
down the aisle to their assigned front
seats, sang very softly the hymn
"How Firm A Foundation." Josephine
Kimrey accompanied on the piano.
Mrs. Max Noah then sang that beau
tiful poem put to music which has as
its refrain the words "I'm sure I shall
not pass again this way."
After a portion of scripture had
been read, Professor Milner offered a
prayer, and the choir concluded by
singing again, softly "Hear My Pray
er, O Lord."
MUSEUM ON DISPLAY IN FOUNDERS RECENTLY
PROVED UNIQUE DIVERSION FROM USUAL SOCIALS
A great deal more interesting and
unique than the ordinary snap game
or folk dance, was the museum which
was on display in the dining room of
Founders Hall Saturday evening, No
vember 8, from seven-thirty until
nine-thirty. The nature of this unus
ual event was a social in which all
those who took part were rewarded
with the pleasure for pleasure's sake.
Instead of being a museum where one
gasped as though he were in a zoo, it
was one in which the onlookers were
partakers.
Upon entering the dining room,
each individual was given a list of
things which corresponded synonom
ously or otherwise, to the groups of
inanimate objects which adorned the
various tables. It was then his specific
privilege to find the particular objects
which corresponded to his own list,
and check his list by the correct num
ber. It was at this point that the fun
began, although the interest had been
aroused long before. There were those

NUMBER 6
Enthusiastically Received By
Large Audience
PARSONS IS OUTSTANDING
Cast Performs With Almost
Uniform Excellence—
Furnas Director
The Guilford College Dramatic
Council presented "It Won't Be Long
Now," the Fall play, (by M. H. Grop
per) Saturday evening, before an ap
preciative audience. Laughs and
chuckles were numerous as the divert
ing situations of this three-act farce
progressed to a very satisfactory cli
max and denouement.
The occasion also marked the first
public appearance of the Guilford Col
lege orchestra, conducted by Max
Noah. The orchestra rendered inci
dental music between acts.
Played in a rollicking manner, the
comedy dealt with the affairs of a
handsome and successful young busi
ness man, Robert Preston, who believ
ed himself the hard, cold, money-fiend
type and strived to follow his father's
advice —"Never mix business with
sentiment." This leading male role
was very ably interpreted by David
Parsons, while Dorothy Wolff, as Ann
Winston, the girl of his choice, took
the feminine lead with laudable suc
cess.
"Luthile" Patterson (Vivian Dar
rel in the play) "lithped;" she gig
gled; she "ficthed" her hair; she chas
ed Robert; she wanted Robert's
money and she almost got it!
Bunyan Andrews was perfect as
Charles Dobson, the hard-boiled un
principled business man who got a
city contract from a crooked ward
healer, McCarthy. Charles Milner, as
Dr. Walter Talley, was so natural up
on the stage that his every slight
movement was readily caught by the
audience. And these two along with
Vivian Darrell kept things moving—
in quite different ways, to be sure—
but moving just the same!
William Meek and "Beansy" Blake,
whose parts were acted respectively
by Linwod Beaman and Edward Blair,
drew many a hearty laugh.
The plot of the play centered about
a plan whereby Dr. Talley and Ann
Winston shock the "hard" young Mr.

Nettie Rayle Has
Promising Career
Dr. Williamson Says That She
Has the Highest Voice of
Any of His Students
It has been learned here recently by
Mr. and Mrs. Noah, that Nettie Rayle,
who is studying this year at Westmin
ster Choir school under Dr. John Pin
ley Williamson, is progressing by leaps
and bounds. Miss Rayle, whose lovely
soprano voice cannot be forgotten by
those who have heard it, has become
quite a favorite of Dr. Williamson,
through true merit.
Nettie recently appeared in a strict
ly formal recital given by the fresh
men at Westminster Choir school. Her
number there, "Little Star," by La
Farge, showed very clearly the lovely
texture of her voice. After having

who felt that "American Monkey"
should correspond to "Moon Mullins"
who in reality was "A Crook in Jail."
Others made similar and more strik
ing mistakes.
There was a table of old-fashioned
flowers, the most interesting one of
which was thyme which corresponded
to days, months, and years at Guil
ford. The list corresponding to anci
ent books was quite ludicrous, while
anatomy seemed to be the bugbear for
most of the crowd. (This goes to show
that most of the group were not
freshmen long enough.)
After sufficient time had been giv
en for everyone to finish, the correct
answers were read, and the group
were allowed to check their own pa
pers. There were several who submit
ted very good contest papers, with
only a few mistakes to their discredit.
The prize, a box of marshmallows,
was given to Katie Stuckey and Glenn
Robertson who submitted perfect
papers.
