And Over the Ilium the
Tears Flow Like Wine
By ADGEIt WILLIAMS
It really looks like there ought to ho
some way for the Lifebuoy Company
to get with whoever it is that is foolish
enough to make formaldehyde and
formulate some way of making formal
dehyde that will eliminate the Guil
ford College frog's 15. O. —or at least
eliminate the formaldehyde B. O.
What brought this discussion on?—
Those lovely three hours that pass so
QUICKLY in the Biology Lab one
afternoon every week. (Always the
only afternoon during the week that
the sun shines !)
Going back to this formaldehyde, it
is something from which you j list can't
get away from. As soon as you open
the door you smell it, for three hours
(without recess) you have to breathe
THE GUILFORDIAN
German Refugee
Speaks in Chapel
Mrs. Koch Tells Students
Of Friends' Assistance
For Starving Europeans
"It can happen here"—fantastic as
the installation of a dictator in Ameri
ca may seem to most students the fact
(hat it could happen here was clearly
established by Mrs. Hilda Koch in
Chapel Tuesday morning, April 16.
Mrs. Koch, a German-born refugee,

numerous other schools and meetings
in this country, under the auspices of
the American Friends Service Commit

The speaker herself is 110 stranger to
bread-lines, having grown up half
starved in the Germany of World War
I. Iler appeal to the public in general
was to support the sending of food to
Europe financially nnd morally to the
fullest of their ability; her appeal to
students in particular was to advertise
the cause and let their sentiments lie
known.
With her husband as co-author,
Hilda Koch has written a book "Refu
gee." Mr. Koch was in a Nazi concen
tration camp for four long years but
managed to cross the border and escape
from Germany shortly after his wife
had crossed die line and their young
had been smuggled after her.
At a meeting of the S. C. A. and
International Relations club in the
Hut, Monday evening April 15, Mrs.
Koch discussed the practice of exchang
ing students between nations and its
inestimable worth in building up a
deep and sincere sympathy among dif
ferent peoples of the world.
She also feels that the subject of an
international language should be given
serious thought by wide-awake students
in school discussion groups as such a
language would be a decided advantage
in world communion.

get your bands nil in it. and those
tears seen streaming down many of
the faces probably have a high formal
dehyde content. After working on it
for three hours, you don't exactly have
the "skin you love to touch" either. In
fact your lingers are contracted to the
place where they feel slightly like the
mid-section of an accordian.
One of the students expressed it in
verse:—
In bio lab the sweet perfume
Alters up and tills the room.
The only thing I can't abide
the damn perfume's formaldehyde
A student died beside bis frog

Article for 'The Pastor/

X. C.i, former dean of Duke University

in the April issue of The I'astor, a

all Christian faiths.
Writing under the title "The Fem

view that in addition to the convention
al idea of the fatherhood of God, Christ
in his personality and teaching com
bines the two aspects—the masculine
and the feminine —in the nature of
God. "Women," he says, "are especially
fitted by experience to appreciate the
virtues and powers of the feminine
aspect of Christ and to aid in the ex
tension of tlie reign of the feminine
Christ who seeks to take his kingdom
by self sacrificing love, to heal tlie
world's divisions by reconciliation and
to win mankind to God by his compas
sionate cross."

NUMBER 9
Guilford Thespians
Begins Rehearsals for
Five Act Comedy
"She Stoops to Conquer"
Includes Martin, Ducker,
Frederick and Watson
Saturday evening, May 18, Guilford's
Drama Mo Council players will once
again prove the fallibility of the orogi
nnl manager of Oliver Goldsmith's "She
Stoops to Conquer" in his pronounciu
tion of the work as a complete failure.
The play, a comedy in five acts, will be
presented in Mem Mail under the
auspices of the school's new Dramatic
Council and the directorship of B.
Daryl Kent.
The story of "She Stoops to Conquer"
concerns a number of people, among
them. Young Marlowe, a gentleman of
bashful and reserved nature who finds
himself quite miserable in the company
of any females more refined than bar
maids and their equal. Mis father, Sir
Charles Marlowe, has arranged with
his best friend, Squire Ila rdcast le who
has a daughter of eligible age, Kate,
to have a marriage take place between
the two if the lady is acceptable to the
young gentleman. Kate, realising her
disadvantage in being genteel, and
further realizing the charm of bar
maid "stoops to conquer"—and conquer
she does.
The plot is enhanced by Mrs. Hard
castle and lier schemes for her
thoroughly spoiled and quite worthless
son, Tony Lumpkin, as well as by an
additional love affair between Con
stance Neville, Mrs. Hardcastle's niece,
and Young Marlowe's Rood friend,
(ieorge Hastings. This union is illfated
from the beginning and only through
the most intricate and complicated
maneuverings 011 the part of all con
cerned is a pleasant conclusion arrived
at.
Kate llardeastle is played by veteran
M. .1. Martin, senior, and Young Mar
lowe by Clinton Talley, freshman. Beth
Frederick, sophomore, acts as Mrs.
llardeastle and, I'aul Jernigan, junior,
is Squire llardeastle. Constance Neville
and George Hastings are played by
Barbara Watson and Owen Lindley re
spectively. Jerry Duckor is the inimit
able Tony Lumpkin and Mary Butler
plays the maid. Howard Coble ami Jim
Coble each play several small parts. A
number of minor characters are not
yet cast.

ing the production, consists of Beth
