Show Hifh Ability.
For tlu* Hosing entertainment on
Homecoming Hay. November -4. the
Dramatic Council presented as the an
imal fall play "The Enemy." by Chan
ning Polloek. "The Enemy" eoneerns
itself with the lnMiiufactured hatred
between peoples, the wrecking of lives
by the passions of war. and teaches
that the real enemy is hate, and not
the people of opposing nations. "The
Enemy" is the first student-directed
play given at Guilford.
A packed auditorium gave an enthus
iastic reception to the excellent play
ing of the entire cast. The fine acting
easily classed this play as the greatest
success since "Captain Applejack."
given several seasons ago. Although
this was an amateur production, di
rected by two students. David Parsons
and Harris .Moore, it displayed ability
not often found in college students.
The character of the young wife,
Pauli, was portrayed by Hose Askew.
Much of the emotional material of the
drama lay in this part. Playing oppo
site Miss Askew. Daryl Kent, as Carl
Behrend. appeared for the first time
in a Guilford College dramatic pre
sentation.
Harris Moore appeared as Fritz
Winckelinaii. the newspaperman who
went to war at tin* height of his career,
only to return to find his position ;111 1
standing forgotten. The part of Mizzi.
his sympathetic hut easily influenced
wife, was taken hy Jewel I I'onrad.
Bobby Furnas took the part of their
child.
Bruce (Jordan, ihc suave Kiu'.isnman
in love with Pauli in the p -rson of
George Silver, shows lis that all conn
tries at war feel that their attitude is
the right one.
The part of I>r. Arndt. I'null's father,
was played hy William Hire. I>r.
Arndt lost his position at the I niver
sity because lie taught that peace is
more to he desired than war.
Taking the opposite viewpoint. Harry
Brown, as August Behrend. the father
of Carl, portrays the scheming profiteer
who became rich hy charging excessive
prices after lie had cornered all avail
able supplies.
Balancing the tragic side of the play
we have Margaret Perkins as Baruska,
the Arndt's maid of-all-work. Baruska
is an example of those people who
through their ignorance of its disas
trous results, still love war.
David Parsons appeared in two roles
during the evening's performance. lie
was first seen as Jan. tin* youth who
sought for glory and found only horror
in war. Next. Mr. Parsons appeared
as the rnknown Soldier, pleading that
war be ended, during one of the inter
missions. Marvin Lindley. accompanied
by Miss Wilbur, also saim during this
intermission.
The Phi Beta Kappa can expect to
live two years longer than the major
letterinan, according to statistics based
on the life of 38,209 graduates of east
ern colleges, and compiled by a na
tional life insurance company. —X. S.

"MESSIAH" PRESENTED
BY CHORAL SOCIETY
'l'll,, fifth annual production of
1 hinders "Messiah" was uiveil Sun
dn.v afternoon in Memorial hall by
the Guilford College Community
Choral Society.
The audience, though smaller
than in previous years due to rainy
weather, almost tilled the audi
torium. There was no admission,
a collection covering the expenses
of the production.
The nucleus of the chorus is the
Guilford College A Capelia Choir,
but swelled to three times Its own
number by singers from nearby
communities and the choir of the
l'reshyterian Church of the Cove
nant in Greensboro, of which Mr.
Noah is director. There were about
140 voices this year.
I'rofessor Max Noah conducted
the chorus. The soloists were:
Mrs James I>. Ix> Gwim. soprano:
I'aul Gyles, tenor: 11. Gradv Mil
ler. baritone: and Mrs. Gurne.v
Kriggs, contralto, who because of
Mrs. Noah's illness replaced her as
eontrilto. Mrs. I'. I>. Gilreatli and
Miss Gail Wilbur were accom
panists.

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS,

Mfrs Gilbert Shoats l"s the Works; Acid
Comments on Honor System and
Outside Activities.
ADVICE WILL BE FREELY GIVEN
On the morning of November 2!l,
Miss Gilbert, English professor par ex
it Hence, deserted her art and brought
i i the students of Guilford College o'ie
i t the most interesting rl'apcl programs
it the year. This in th face of the
f;:it that she dislikes "levying."
Proving that English teachers ean be
religious. Miss Gilbert preached a ser
mon. Her topic was "Mind Your Own
Business." the text. "Hun Your Own
Affairs." and her advice. "Don't Take
Advice." The sermon had a moral, as
sermons will, which was. "Don't ask
for advice. ,vou might get it."
It is the opinion of Miss Gilbert that
the students should be jealous of their
right to have extra currictilar activity
without the aid or advice of faculty
members.
The honor system belongs to the stu
dents but unless the students change
their attitude toward it. the honor sys
tern will be taken from them ;iml the
(►ll "IVliee" system again put in its
place. This is a deplorable situation,
especially when we consider bow hard
it was to get the honor system started
in this school.
Miss (Gilbert commented 011 the l irge
iumber of unsatisfactory report cards.
They would seem to suggest that some
of the students come here for reasons
other than those found in the academic
curriculum. She did not advise the stu
dents to study more, but merely said
that no one but a genius could get by
witlicut studying and a genius would
li.ivi more . 11- than to try that.

Amid tlif usual uproar that precedes
surli an occasion, spectators dressed in
formal clothes gathered to attend a
most unusual feature Saturday eve
ning. November -i. a football game
wherein every player, even "Smiley"
Wilkie. had his hair slicked down and
appeared in a newly pressed suit, with
some fair co-ed 011 his arm. As the
team march d on the gaily decorated
field with its goal posts wrapped in
crimson and gray, the ever present
cheering section hurst forth with a
lusty rendition of "March. March. On
I >own the Field." Then followed a
few moments of calm before the storm,
as everyone wrestled with turkey, in
stead of peanuts and chewing gum.
Finally, the long awaited moment ar
rived. and with a number of slams and
wisecracks. Referee Shepard greeted
his fair audience and announced Miss
Sarah Davis, who is supposed to have
some vital interest in (or on?) the
team. Sally gave an appreciation of
lho boys* work this year, with especial
reference to that of the line.
Of course flic real mainstay of (In*
team couldn I Keep quiet after I lint, so
Prank le led .1 yell for the boys. Then
the whistle blew for tin' naif.
Instead of the usual wandering
around during the period while the
team rests, both spectators 1111'. players
were amused and embarrassed, in turn,
by one of Professor I'ancoast's famous
masterpieces of poetry. Th ■ legging
team's versatile coach bail a word for
each mail oil the squall, ami when he
finished, not a few were thankful for
the rosy glow given off from the red
lights over the field!
At the close of Mr. rancoasfs lim
ericks, Frankie was again called 011,
this time giving a dissertation 011 tlie
"Megaphone." lie presented the well
worn mouthpiece that has seen service
in so many games to the three new
cheerleaders for next year, with the re
quest that if he put away in a closet
for his children to come back and play
with many, many years from now. Art
Wright accepted it and assured Frankie
111-it his wish would be granted.
The second half opened with Hob
Jamicson giving a talk 011 "Hack on the
Field" in which he gave a few choice
hits of gossip about different men 011
the team, then expressed the boys' grat
itude to the coach and his mother, and
to the committees ;II charge of the
banquet.
At this point, ItolVp'c Shepard in

the one that forms in answer to ten

his speech, either.
Then came the big event of the eve

he awarded letters to the outstanding
