Group
SPECIAL GUESTS INVITED
The most sophisticated people find
in their nature a love for the great
outdoors. They tire of the monoton
ous routine of exacting social stand
ards, and at times wish to escape
from the world of formalities and
become carefree wanderers with a
tent and camp-fire.
So it happened that Wednesday
night, April 15, found the entire group
of day girls the guests of Misses Kath
erine Turner and Emily Hinshaw.
From 8 o'clock until —on into the
night a delightful social occasion
was enjoyed. However the guests
finally forced themselves to bed be
cause they realized that five bells
would be calling them all too soon
from their slumber.
Alarm clocks startled dreamless
sleepers to action and by 5:30 pro
visions had been collected and the
once serious students, now like a
merry troup of vagrant gypsies were
selecting a camping site. A spot on
the side of a little lake, surrounded by
woods and rolling verdant fields, was
chosen. The great red sun rose
slowly and cast its glinting rays over
the lowland.
Oranges, eggs, bacon, coffee and
tcast mingled their aroma with the
perfume of the blossoming trees, and
appetites did justice to the savory
meal.
Those present were: Edna An
drews, Mary Cannon, Miriam Cude,
Emily Hinshaw, Esther Hollowell,
Ruth Marshburn, Ollie Mcßane, Ruth
Painter, Margaret Pegram, Mary
Reynolds, Millicent Teague, Edith
Trivette, Katherine Turner, and Mar
tha Gray White. Special guests were:
Mrs. Andrews, Carl Edwin, Bera
Brown and Leona Guthrie.

CLAY ENTERTAINS ZAYS
AT INFORMAL RECEPTION
Mr. Whitsett, Cartoonist, En
tertains With Student
Sketches
On Friday night, April 17, the
Zatasian Literary Society was most
delightfully entertained by the Henry
Clay Literary Society at an inform
al reception.
Preceding the reception the Zatas
ians were invited to attend the reg
ular business meeting of the Clays.
At seven-thirty the ladies were es
corted to Mem. Hall by Marshall
Budd and thence to the Chemistry
lecture room where each received a
program for the evening. They were
then escorted to the auditorium where
the Clays were in session.
The entertainer for the evening
was Mr. Whitsett, printer of the
Guilford Annual. He was introduced
by James Harper, who assured the
audience of a half hour of real whole
some fun. Mr. Whitsett's topic for
the evening was "Student Scandal
Sketches," scenes and events which
were easily recognized and which
brought roars of laughter from his
audience. Indeed, one might have
thought he was a Quaker himself,
from the things he knew. He also
drew request portraits of some of the
audience and brought his program to
an end by illustrating jokes.
After the program the girls were
asked to pair with the boys whose
names appeared on their program and
they went to Men's Center where ice
cream, cake, coffee, mints, and nuts
were served.
At 9:45 the girls were forced to
leave for as Pres. Williams stated,
"the girls must be in by ten o'clock."

responded with "Flight." Dr. Binford
gave a toast, "Soaring," and Miss
Eva Campbell sang of the road which
leads "On Upward." Ed Blair gave a
sort of "Nuts and Wrenches" toast,
and Mrs. Noah ended the program
with the "Landing."
The four-course dinner included a
fresh fruit cocktail, a chicken and
vegetable plate, hot rolls, olives, cel
ery, coffee, ice cream and cake. Af
ter dinner the two classes joined in
a farewell reception.
Mr. Hamilton of
Charlotte Speaks
At Joint Y Meet
Former U. S. Commissioner To
London In Behalf Of
League Of Nations
FRIEND OF PRES. WILSON
On Thursday night, April 23, 1931,
Mr. A. W. Hamilton of Charlotte,
North Carolina, spoke before a joint
meeting of the "V" groups. Mr. Ham
ilton is trying to inspire young peo
ple to fulfill the foremost wish of
the great president, Woodrow Wilson,
whom he accompanied to Europe on
business.
America had great ideals before
1917, when she wandered in a sea of
international diplomacy. Is there now
an ideal ? It is necessary to estimate
humanity at its own value; before we
have international relations, we must
have humanitarian value.
In 1913-14 the value of men was
uncertain in England. But two years
later a man who would don a khaki
uniform, and go to France and fight,
was the finest man on earth. "Men
worthless yesterday become an asset
today." Mr. Hamilton asked, "Where
shall we go for this value?" The
chemist is busy trying to solve un
fathomable facts in Chemistry; the
militarist is more interested in com
mon rire; the politician is a vote
fanatic; and the historian may rank
anywhere from a man with "blood
stained hands" to a "singing poet."
The answer to this question is that
Christ through his life was the "im
age and superscription of the most
high." This is the yardstick with
which to measure humanity and na
tions.
The speaker said that after the
armistice was signed in 1918 that all
Europe was in a terrrble state of
turmoil. The premier of France was
demanding an unfillable program; in
England Lloyd George had promised
an acre of land and a pig to every
man who fought, but he knew that it
was then impossible. He was almost
mad, no one had confidence in him.
Austria issued a plaintive sound of
distress. President Wilson came to
the rescue and asked that there be
written into the peace treaty a cov
enant of a League of Nations —a
single unit working together for the
good of nations.
Mr. Hamilton was one of the Unit
ed States commissioners dispatched
to London and the Universities of
England to have the people pledge
themselves to fulfillment of the Lea
gue. The belief was great in Europe;
the people called Wilson "our Savior."
Now everything is a "jingle of the
almighty dollar and eternal search
for it." A life of idealism, founda
tions of nations, and attainment of
humanitarian lives led to this one
moment. It was a most tragic blow
to all Europe when she realized that
the United States would not become
a member of the league. The coun
tries turned to communism and pro
moted it—their philosophy was never
so broken since European Medieval
times. Some people thought, in 1919,
that America was called to the king
dom for just such a chance as this —
then the opportunity as leader was
rejected by her.
Bennett Coliege
Quartette Here
Second Appearance Of Colored
Girls On Campus Is
Marked Success
The Bennett College Quartette sang
at Christian Endeavor meeting on
Sunday evening, April 26. This was
their second appearance at Guilford
this year. They gave a program that
was appreciated and enjoyed both
times.
The program was divided into
three groups. "Flowers of Dreams"
and "Come Down Laughing Stream
let" composed the first group.
'Tramping," "Wade in the Water,"
and "Going Home" made up the sec
ond group. The last group was sung
as' only the negro race can sing and
was probably the best of the three.
It contained "Gospel Train," "Scan
dalize My Name," and the final num
ber "Swing Low Sweet Chariot." Be
tween each group a clever dialogue
was given. The first was a selection
from "Pollyanna" and the second was
entitled "I'm So Glad I'm Here To
night." Both were well presented.
ALUMNI BOOST ZAY
AND PHIL SOCIETIES
On Friday evening, April 24,
the Literary committee of the Al
umni Associa'ion consisting; of
Miss Mary Petty, chairman, Miss
Kra Lasley, and Miss Kthel Speas,
met with the I'hilomathean and
Zatasian Literary Societies. Miss
Petty talked to the I'hils and Miss
Speas to the Zays, being former
members of these.
They wish to .see the students
and Alumni become more inter
ested in the work. In order to do
this they suggested several things
to do: A history of the societies
should be written, tracing the old
members, especially the most not
ed, to be read at the twenty-fifth
anniversary in 1933. Also, pictures
should be taken every year begin
ning with the present senior class
to be placed in the art gallery for
1937 for the Centennial program.
They suggested a committee be
appointed in each society, to begin
this program.
A special home coining day is
being planned for next fall and all
the old members are urged to at
tend.
Annual A.C.P.A.
Convention Held
At Chapel Hill
Ways and Means of Attaining
Educational Publicity Dis
cussed At Meet
ADDRESSED BY GRAHAM
"It is all right to play up sports
for what they are worth," declared
Dr. Frank P. Graham, in an address
to the American College Publicity
Association which was in session at
Chapel Hill April 23 to 25, "but the
captain of the football team should
not be given all the publicity and the
president of Phi Beta Kappa noth
ing." He admitted that sports, dra
matics, and contests of various kinds
lend themselves to publicity much
better than do other phases of college
life, nevertheless a well balanced pub
licity program would attract many
desirable students who otherwise
might not consider a college educa
tion.
Many other reports and addresses
were given during the convention
dealing with proper ways to ap
proach and appeal to the people so
as to increase the endowment and
obtain more and better-prepared stu
dents. Four methods for attaining
publicity, through the press, cata
logues and personal mail, by the use
of radio, andi by holding high school
days or weeks on the campus, were
discussed.
The type and amount of news to
have published is a very important
factor for the Publicity Director to
consider. It was pointed out that the
literary and athletic attainments of
a college and its scholarship records
not only make interesting articles
but contribute to the publicity of the
institution, while freak stories and
"Collegiate Yarns" do not always at
tract the right kind of student.
Several entertainment features
were given during the convention, in
cluding a sight-seeing tour over the
Carolina and Duke Campuses, a twi
light barbecue and biunswick stew at
Duke, banquet, dance, and special
picture shows.
James Harper and Robert Carroll
attended the convention Thursday
and Saturday.

MAJOR IN PHYSICS DEPT
As an especial project in the Voca
tional Guidance department, Mrs.
Milner is attempting: to concentrate
the work of various students into a
definite field of action. The students
who have been chosen for this honor
work are, at present, doing; individ
ual Reserch for chapel talks. Dayton
Newlin, a Junior majcr in the Physics
department, was the first to repre
sent this student group which was
selected on the basis of native intel
ligence, scholastic achievement, and
faculty recommendation.
Mr. Newlin's subject was "Th
Two-Hundred Inch Telescope," and
though it dealt with a highly com
plicated and scientific matter, it was
clever and interesting in that "New
lin fashion" which all Guilford stu
dents know and enjoy.
"There have been many candidates
brought into the limelight as pos
sessing the honor of inventing the
telescope. The English, Italian, Dutch
and German have each endeavored to
secure a decision in favor of a mem
ber of its country. The Dutch it
seems are now likely to merit such
a decision. The first telescope is
said to have been constructed by
Hans Lippeshey, a native of Wesel,
in the year 1608. The first tele
scope was very crude in comparison
with the modern telescope. The two
hundred inch telescope, which is to
be constructed, will be built on the
same principle as the one hundred
inch one, except on a more elaborate
scale.
The mirror of a telescope is the
most important part. Now, in the
one hundred inch telescope the mir
ror is made of glass. Since glass is
a poor conductor of heat, when the
atmospheric temperature changes,
the outer edges of the mirror get
warmer and the curvature of the sur
face changes so that all of the light

COLLEGE CHOIR GIVES

Best Received

The concert was Riven in the Reids
ville Methodist church, and in spite
of the fact that it had been raining
throughout the day and that the driz
zle continued to make church-going
somewhat difficult, the church was
filled to overflowing and some people
had to be turned away due to lack
of room. The audience was flatter
ingly interested and showed genuine
appreciation of the talent which the
choir had to offer under Mr. Max
Noah's capable direction.
Those numbers which were best re
ceived by the hearers were: "Gloria;"
"Praise to the Lord," and the "Lord's
Prayer."
The Choirsters returned home very
triumphant feeling- they had been
exceptionally well received.

dogwood.
The guests were entertained with
a series of games. Such were: a
treasure hunt. Rachel Beasley found
the treasure—a bottle of perfume;
Tip Chislom was the winner in a
contest concerning the names of the
streets in Greensboro. After a
Shakesperian contest and a cloth
contest, each person with the help of
his pro-tempore lawyer drew up a
last will. The articles willed, the
object, and the persons to whom the
articles were willed were quite a re
velation.
It was with much reluctance that
the guests departed. Very trite, but
true every one had a lovely time.
