Since Group Started Hold
ing Meetings.
NOAH MAKES A BIG HIT
The name, "Finn Arts Club," was offi
cially chosen by the group which has
been going under that name, at their
last meeting, January 20.
After a short program, the rules were
read by Mrs. Max Noah, followed by
an amusing game. The game consisted
of impersonating musical pictures. Mr.
Noah, as Handel's father, with a hand
kerchief on his head and an imitation
of a candle as he tottered and shook
weakly while looking over the shoul
der of the boy Handel (Annie Evelyn
Powell) proved to be the hit of the
evening. Ervin Werner, as Beethoven,
could not get entirely the maestro's
stern, thoughtful look in his imitation
of the "Moonlight Sonata" picture.
Those who took part in the program
were Frances McTver, who sang "Mem
ory" and "Morning Wind;" Esther Stil
son, who gave a paper on current
events; Esther Perkins, who played
"Country Gardens" and "Boy Scout
March" 011 her horn, accompan
ied by Hazel Powell; Wes Vaughn,
who played the "Erl-King," by Schu
bert, on the piano.

lowing students are supposed to take
part: Erline Hunter, Louise Lee, Mina
Donnell, Erwin Werner, Frances Mc-
Iver, Anna Bonham, Julia Blair Hodg

COLLEGE DOGS LIVE AND
DIE AND ARE MOURNED
The old maid has her traditional
oat and the Modern Bachelor has
his dog—so it seems on Guilford
campus.
These dear little things often
afford much pleasure for their
masters. Ask I.add Coble about
the pup that he found on his bed.
Maybe that's why he's sleeping out
nights now. Then there's John
Burgwyn and his little white spitz.
In moment of loneliness one might
hear Johnny say, "My lady doesn't
love me but my little Spitz do."
The dog certainly follows him
closely enough.
Then there's that cute little
brown pup of Louise Lee's who
answers to the name "Rye." He
seems to be all over the campus
under everyone's feet; and they do
fall for him!
Among the faculty animals are
Nash and Nick, the German police
dogs. Nick, so recently a tiny pup,
Is now a romping lion. Nash, once
tiie property of the Mears-Hodgins
combination, now graces the Noah
menage.
Among those "gone but not for
gotten" are Binford's "Skippy" and
Prls White's "Pete."
