C. Subscription price $1.50 per year Entered at the post office in Guilford College as second class matter Plans for Guilford's Centennial, which occurs next year, are being developed on every side and by every group. By next year we will see rising from the old lovely school an even greater Guilford, one with greater possibilities because of greater equipment to facilitate develop ment. Every group that has ever been interested in or part of Guilford is working with all its might toward the centennial year. Some groups are making one! definite thing as their project and theirs alone. It will be their pride to have established a memorial building or a memorial fund. It is not only alumni and those outsiders who are interested in Guilford who are to participate in this developmental process, but per haps we, as a student body, can in the near future work on the develop ment of a project. All the other groups are responding with unity, loyalty, and enthusiasm. When our chance comes in the very near future to back up a project which ought to be dear to our hearts, let us do so. Meanwhile let us commend these other groups which are trying to make their projects come trye. Are we interested in guests, speakers, or teams or whatever they may be? Let's show our interest in them. Perhaps the Pep Committee oi* some other such organization could make the teams feel comfortably at home. All of us can show our friendliness to speakers by comment ing on their speeches. To each his part in being a friend. The choir is a strong Guilford advertisement. We are proud of it. A two-year Emergency Peace Campaign is to be launched April 21 to mobilize the nation's sentiment for peace into a force strong enough to keep America from going to war. People from every kind of group are taking part in it from a prominent member of the American Friends' Service Committee to the wife of the President of the United States. There will be speaking tours all over the countrty. Youth is interested. Are we? Will we participate in an emergency peace campaign? Isolation Again On Saturday afternoons, almost all of Guilford goes to town, or attempts to go to town. It is the play day of the week. Although there is a school bus for regular riders, and there are buses coming out from Greensboro, neither provides a way for this tide of students to get to Greensboro. With these two factors it would seem that this icy floe of isolation could be broken up. There is a huge group of students wanting trans portation and there is transportation in the form of two bus systems. Why ean't these two things which seem necessary for each other's welfare be brought on speaking terms? We are sure that a bus needs people to transport. Why ean't one of two things happen? Why can't the bus company from Greensboro send out a bus around one o'clock Saturday afternoon and send another one back around five or five-thirty? Or, if possible, why can't the Guilford College bus make two trips on Saturday afternoons taking people into Greensboro and back? You who have the transportation, come, and we will give you the people! A Project? THE GUILFORDIAN An Illusion By ANSA JEAN BONHAM The breathless whirl of impressions which was engulfing me settled to a slower pace—cleared as I concentrated on crystalliing to some semblance of sanity my little part of the world. Over my head hung a heavily em broidered white silk canopy. Fragile gold chairs and odd little seats bor dered one side of the room. A tower ing mirror reflected the deep rose of the rug, the tapestry resplendent with me tallic glimmerings vitiated by the splin ters of an early morning sun which slipped through the white blinds at the window. Obsequious murmurings reach my ear —too vague as yet to incur thought on my part. The babblings persist, but in a language that is not mine. Freneli, perhaps, but a queer French. Two men appear at the bedside dressed in Sev enteenth or Eighteenth century cos tumes; I do not know which. Evidently they are of noble rank. Their attitude to the hovering servants makes their self-esteem patently tangible. The two offer to help me dress. In a daze I don the accoutrements of a courtesan of the glorious days of the Grand Mon arch. Gold encrustations on my uni form weight it pleasantly. One of the lackeys apparently attend ing me gives me a morocco notebook containing my engagements for the day. Too bewildered to grasp the meaning of it all, I only hope they attribute my dullness to an especially heavy sleep. As minutes pass I enter into the spirit of things and learn as much as I can by watching the other's actions and not too immobile expressions. Conducting myself in as dictatorial manner as I can assume, I avoid several embarrass ing predicaments. It is only with diffi culty that. I can understand the strange tongue so I hardly dare speak it. Again I manage by seeming indolent, presum ably after a grand ball last evening. I can't seem to remember, but it must have been a great occasion as it forms so large a part of the conversation be tween the nobles. Two lackeys precede me through im mense glass doors which open into a cor ridor as luxurious as the room we have just left. At the' farther end there is a circular gallery from which spiral two grand marble staircases. Again I am impressed with the defer ence shown me by nobles as well as servants. Hut here comes one who strikes a harsh, ear-shattering note. He is ugly, dressed in an unflattering, stiff white garment. The huge bunch of keys in his hand presages but one thing. With a meaningful glare he keeps putting foot after foot on a course leading di rectly to me. No! Don't take me now— I won't gol We Want to Know Dear "We Want to Know" Editor: T want to know whether it. is permis sible to use one's left hand in the fol lowing situation. I am in the act of cutting some delicious steak. My left hajid holds a fork, prongs down, which is keeping the meat, in place. With my right hand, I hold a knife which is cut ting its way through the juicy flesh. Aft er successfully hewing away, I am ready to eat. Now, may I keep the fork in my left hand when I use it to carry the cut morsel of food to my mouth ? A com plicated maneuver of changing the fork to my right hand after every cutting is exhaustive and seems unnecessary. I would like your opinion. MUCH PERPLEXED. Dear Much Perplexed: Einily Post in her description of the necessary table manners states that, one may use one's left hand in the situation you mentioned. Simplicity, rather than complexity, combined with neatness and courtesy, appears to be the essence of good manners in this, as in other situa tions. Editor of "We Want to Know." Wealth is more equitably distributed among married men than among bache lors, says a recent survey. Ripped at Random From the "Among (lie Masters" col umn of the Daily Dartmouth, we glean the following contribution of an art pro fessor : "The Sky- Scraper Is a Wonder To nil A thing To admire Beyond Question Butoh' downbelowwherepedestriansgo itcertainlyaddstocongestion!" Heard at a dance: "You'd be a swell dancer if it weren't for two things— your feet."— The Susquehanna. "Nature Is wonderful! A million years ago she didn't know we were go ing to wear spectacles, yet look at the way she placed our ears," observes the Annapolis Log.

According to an investigation at Harvard, (he average student carries exactly 22 cents on his person.—Univer sity of Delaware Review. A columnist of tne Los Angeles ■liniior Collegian tells the one about the professor who was having much diffi culty in getting the attention of the class, which seemed very restless and disorderly. Finally, in exasperation he shouted, "Order, please!" "Hot beef sandwich," came an ab seutminded voice from the rear of the room. The University of Toronto reports that 75 percent of those applying to the date bureau ask for brunettes. How ever. at the date bureau of Occidental college, 25 cents for redheads, 15 cents for blondes, and 10 cents for brunettes are the prices charged.— The Pitt yews. Football players at the University of Pittsburgh are now receiving foreign language credit for English, according to the J'enn State /''rotli. It might even be interesting to some to know that Ilal Kemp is the only orchestra leader known to have insulted King Edward VIII but that was way back when he was only the I'rince of Wales. It seems that in England there is a custom that the orchestra continues to play as long as a member of the royalty is 011 the floor. Ilal thought the I'rince was leaving. I'. S. —They later made up and the I'rince actually played the drums for Ilal on one occasion. A Harvard zoologist risked his life to cuter his burning home the other day. lie was after a set of corrected exam papers.
