Who IS Who at Guilford?
Every fall a small group of seniors at
Guilford is given the distinction of being
selected to represent the college in the
publication Who's Who Among Students
in American Universities and Colleges.
Requisites for membership in this pub
lication are "character, scholarship, leader
ship and extra-curricular activities, and
potentiality for future usefulness to busi
ness and society." Such a person would
be one who has exerted a wide influence
on campus one whom the students as
well as the faculty will remember.
We realize that scholarship is an impor
tant factor in the selection of members of
Who's Who. And yet we feel that leader
ship in numerous campus activities is just
as worthy of notice.
We believe that the person who has
worked with the students in extra-curricu
lar fields will be remembered as long as
the person who can claim honor roll stand
ing. And surely a person who has been
an outstanding leader 011 campus can lie
said to have "potentiality for future use
fulness to business and society."
We feel that the students as well as the
faculty should be given the chance to de
cide who shall represent their college in a
national publication. Each class should
choose two students to represent them on
the deciding committee. These eight stu
dents, together with selected members of
the faculty, would form a committee head
ed by the president of the college or by
one of the deans. Each person, student or
faculty, would have one vote. By a method
such as this the seniors chosen for Who's
Who would be more truly representative
of the college than is now possible.
We would like to see the students of
Guilford college given a chance next fall
to participate in the selection of outstand
ing seniors 011 campus.
Welcome
It, falls to the lot of the editor, each year,
to welcome the students back to the col
lege, and to extend a greeting to the fresh
man class.
This year our greeting goes beyond the
narrow" limits of the college to the training
fields and battlegrounds of the world, to
the boys who are in the armed services of
their country. It goes to those who are
working with the American Friends Ser
vice committee, driving ambulances, get-
Some people raise the dumbest youngins!
Take the case of the upperclassmon who said,
"Did you mail my letter, FreshmanV"
"Yes," replied the dutiful greenhorn, "and
here's your three cents back.'
T'pperclassman: "How did you mail my let
ter without a stamp?"
"Oil," replied the freshman, "it was easy. I
just slipped it in the box when 110 one was
looking."

She was on her way home from a first aid
course when she saw a man lying prone in the
middle of the street. His face was cradled on
one ana: the other arm was twisted under him
in a peculiar position. Without a moment's hes
itation, she got down on her knees and went
to work.
"Lady." said the victim, "I don't know what
t you're doing, but 1 wish you'd quit tickling me.
J I'm trying to hold a lantern for this fellow

The visitor called at thaf village library. "May

"You're in the wrong building, Mr. Lamb,"

is just across the street."

A young couple wishing to get married went

to leave for his service. Not wishing to dis
appoint them, lie offered a suggestion.
I? "You two come to the evening service, and
at the close I will marry you."
They agreed to this, and when the minister
t had completed his sermon, in order to give them
their cue, he announced: "All ahose desiring
to lie married come forward."
Thirteen women and one man started for the
altar.

l Pome of the Month:
If lie parks his little flivver
Down beside the moonlit river,
And you feel lie's all a-quiver,
Baby, he's a wolf.
If by chance when you are kissin'
You can feel his heart a-niissln'
And yon talk but he don't listen,
1 Baby, he's a wolf,
it
If his arms are strong like sinew
And he stirs the passion in you
So you want him close agin' you,
Baby,
v Maybe,
r You're the wolf.

THE GUILFORDIAN
From the
November 13, 1918—Last year Guilford's con
tribution to the Students' Friendship War Fund
was all that could be expected and there is no
doubt in any one's mind that our contribution
to the War Work Fund this year will be all
that it should be considering our numbers.
September 25, 1918—Lute sleepers in Cox hall
will soon have their slumbers disturbed. Plans
are on foot to set all the boys out for breakfast
and put them through fifteen minutes of vigor
ous setting-up exercises in the gym. This is a
war-time measure for good health and ought
to be welcomed by all concerned.
October 9, 1918 —During the past year the
colleges and universities of the country have
contributed liberally to the support of the war.
From 198 colleges and universities, according
to reports made by these institutions. 44,450 stu
dents enlisted in the army and navy. More
than 100,000 graduates and 3,000 members of
the faculties of these institutions entered the
service.
October 22. 1924—With the total enrollment
of 270. Guilford conies within 21 of having at
tained her goal of a maximum number of stu
dents and at tin 1 same time establishes a record
for total enrollment in the college that is the
greatest in her history. President Hinford
showed to the trustees at their regular meeting
on last Wednesday, by means of charts, that
the goal of the student body at Guilford College
(150 men ami 150 women) was gradually be
coming materialized.
October 15, 1924—"1 should like to speak n
word of encouragement to the discouraged,"
stated Dr. llobbs in Friday's chapel exercises.
He quoted the following from William James'
chapter on habit: "Let no youth have any anxi
ety about the upshot of his education, whatever
the line of it may be. If he keep faithfully
busy each hour of the working day lie may
safely leave the final result to itself."
March 18, 1921—There are two kinds of
mumps—nmiiips on one side and mumps on both
sides. Mumps on both sides are preferable to
mumps on one side for the sake of bilateral
symmetry. Persons having mumps on one side
only are not well balanced; in fact, they are
eccentric looking. Now, in order to carry out
this idea of bilateral symmetry it is necessary
that pairs of those who are unfortunate enough
to have mumps on only one side should be put
in the same bed, thus the |>erfect balance may
be attained.
March 18, 1921—The college poultry depart
ment under the direction of Prof. J. W. Pan
coast has been working silently throughout the
year, but the silence will soon be broken. Nearly
three thousand small chicks from a week to
four weeks old will be making themselves heard,
in their own individual manner.
March 18, 1921—"1t is time for the Society
of Friends to know how to again evangelize,"
Mr. Pearson said. "There are soon, I believe,
going to rise up great evangelists from this
institution. Christ was equal to the conquest
of the nineteenth century. 1 am sure he is
equal to that of the twentieth century. The
Society of Friends must work as they have in
the past to help evangelize the world and to
accomplish great things."
i mortimer
i mortimer am extremely glad to welcome
hack my old friends and become acquainted
with the newcomers everyone looked like a nice
summer about three weeks ago but as i told
victoria all the students are (setting that well
known fanned look some of the hoys arent hack

are now engaged 110 more lousing around for
me from now on ini a one woman insert which is
more than i can siiy for some of my acquaina
ances we have decided that if i am drafted vic
toria can go with me since there are plenty of
cockroaches in army camps and she wont he
lonely i noticed this year there was no time
wasted in getting right down to the bottom
of things why the very tirst day i heard
dr Williams and mr edgerton trying to settle
the moving question of whose feet were nearest
the table i turned to my friend cuthbert the
caterpillar and was going to discuss the point
with him Imt be looked somewhat wild so i led
him quietly from the room and used the usual
remedies for shock speaking of discussions
martie rohinsoit has finally come to the con
clusion that .jonathan dixon is fatter than dean
thomas and a word of advice to the freshwomen
watch out for that tannenliaum lad he has
a head like a doorknob any girl can turn it.

SENSATIONS
By RUDY and PINK
Greetings,
Green ones, Off-shades, and Left-overs (fresh
men and freshxvomen) .... Also the faculty—
They are included in case some of the not too
brilliant freshmen from above the M. 1). line
don't know that they are in the first classifica
tion—Seriously though, we'd sorta like to wel
come all of you to Guilford college. If you're
returning, it's a cinch you came back 'cause
you already like the place—lf you're new here
—well, you'll be liking it before long—WE DID!
For years the two sexes have been racing for
supremacy —Judging from what we've seen on
several of the darker nights, we think the new
Frosh Class has settled down to a neck and neck
proposition.
O
Four weeks ago, Judy Nelson was met at the
Greensboro station by a homemade blond, an ec
centric left-liander—Since then they've been car
rying on from where they left off last year—
Incidentally, they play a good game of tennis,
O
Advice to Freshmen:
Study is if you can't get a date and it is
raining you are going to! !! !!
A word of advice before studying for exams:
Head over your class notes and see if you can
make any sense out of the pictures you drew.
O
Slio' looks good seeing Margie bark on cam
pus—we don't know, but we suppose Herb sorta
likes the idea, too—violin Haworth goes in for
the big time, always hanging around "Broad
way."—Although K. Johns has never been to any
agricultural and technical college, he seems
to like one Aggie pretty well—Looks like Bos
ton Jack is trying to get a commission in the
Navy—the easy way.
O
"Help your wife," says Good Housekeeping.
"When she mops up the floor, mop up the floor
with her."
O
Congrats to Tommy and Owen for some good
cheer-leading.
O
Our nomination for the busiest place on cam
pus—Xl. 11. Hall at 7 :H> p. m. (Itight, Knobby?)
—The ideal couple: I'hil HnnvHrz nmt Gorky
Parker—Agree?
O
Girls, send a self-addressed envelope and 10c
in stamps to Pettyjohn for her special booklet:
"The Correct Thing" or "How to Hook Men."
O
Aside to Miss Kirks:
There is a very disturbing rumor which has
just come to our ears to the effect that a move
ment is growing on campus to use the library
as a source of knowledge and learning—How
ever, this rumor seems to have been spread
by skulking members of the Scholarship society,
and we refused to believe it, feeling that such
an abrupt departure from the status quo might
he dangerous to the moral equilibrium of the
coeds.
O
I CALL MY GIItL—
Brooklyn Bridge 'cause she always comes
across!
Onion 'cause she's strong and full of tears!
Checker 'cause every time I make a wrong
move, she jumps.
Lemon 'cause she makes my lips pucker!
O
As a tip-off on the mentality of the freshmen,
this is what happened the other day. We were
trying to put a certain young guy on the right
path, so we told him that the administration is
trying to stop necking. The following reply is
exactly what he said: "Is that so? First thing
you know they'll be trying to make the students
stop, too."
O
P. S.—Mall all complaints to New North,
Room 122.
ORACLE of TODAY
THE WIFE OF IXEW
And Gw.vdion said to Math, when il was Spring.
"Come now and let us make wife for I.low."
And so the.v broke broad houghs yet moist with
dew.
And in a shadow made a magic ring:
They took the violet mid the meadow-sweet
To form her pretty face, and for her feet
They built a mound of daisies on a wing,
And for her voice they made a linnet sins
111 the wide poppy blowing for her mouth.
And over all they chanted twenty hours.
And Mew come singing from the azure south
And bore away his wife of birds and flowers.
