Guilford Nine To Meet High Point Saturday
Friendly Students,
Campus Beauty
Impress Visitor
By BARBARA McFARLAND
Mrs. Lillinn Soloman, a very ac
tive member of the Society of
Friends, visited Guilford from
March 26 to April 4, to find how a
small college gets along.
In order to become familiar with
Guilford, Mrs. Solomon talked with
hoth students and faculty, ate in
the dining hall, and attended sev
eral classes during her stay here.
When asked what impressed her
most about Guilford, Mrs. Solomon
said the friendly atmosphere of
the students made the biggest im
pression.
Mrs. Solomon, who is a gradu
ate of Swarthmore College, has
visited colleges and co-operative
communities in Louisiana, Ala
bama, and Mississippi. She plans
to visit at least two more colleges
in North Carolina before returning
to her home in New York.
When questioned about her work,
Mrs. Solomon replied, "I am work
ing in the interest of human rela
tions. I want to try and under
stand people better. By visiting
various colleges and communities,
I am getting this opportunity." She
is very interested in trying to find
a way to have World Pence. She
said that peace cannot be achieved
until problems of racial intolerance,
and greed among man are removed
from society. One way of remov
ing these problems is to work to
gether in co-operative organiza
tions.
"I have been listening to many
educators speak of the advantages
of life in the rural community and
I wanted to see them for myself. I
have found that the educators are
right," said Mrs. Solomon. "I hope
that many young people will work
in rural areas upon graduation
from college," she added.
Mrs. Solomon works in a Quaker
Hostel in New York City when she
is not touring the country.

perfection as any college library
unit.

entry, vestibule, and foyer on eacli
side. The foyer on the southeast
side opens on a passage running east
and west, from which you enter a
spacious, well lighted reading room.

room that will be reserved strictly
for information referring to Qua
kerism. At the north end of this
Quaker Collection Room is a huge
fireproof vault.
On the passage on the north side
of the building are the librarian's
office and the library secretary's of
fice. At the end of this corridor is
a large workroom.
Between the two corridors is an
addition to the present reading room,
the old stacks, and a new three-story
portion for stacks. On the second
Hoor is another reading room.
From the south passage on the
second floor you enter into two large
seminar rooms. Situated between
these seminar rooms are two small
study rooms. On the north passage
on the second floor are a staff room,
a store room, and a music, art col
lection, and visual aids room.
The work 011 the revamped library
is not yet completed, and it won't

those attending chapel Friday, March
31. Everyone was well entertained
by an informal piano concert given
by Mr. Carroll S. Feagins, assistant
professor of philosophy.
Mr. Feagins l>egan vyfth a short,
interesting explanation of the type
of music he was going to play.
For his first munlier, Mr. Feagins
chose Prelude and Fugue, No. h, in
C-sharp minor by Bach. His second

tions in F minor by Haydn. For his
third selection. Mr. Feagins played

NUMBER 10
> To date the Quakers have played
two Conference Barnes, their record
being one win and one loss. Those
of you who were around last year
will remember the terriffic strug
gle staged on Hobbs field between
these two nines. Down, but not
out, the grey and red staged a three
run rally in the seventh Inning to
tie the game at seven all. Wallace
Maultsby laid into the first pitch
in the ninth inning for a home run
that won the game. In the only
other meeting at High Point, the
Quakers were leading at the end
of three, innings when the game
was rained out.
The Panthers will prove a tough
test for the Guilford nine bringing
back several lettermen from last
years squad. One of the .big jobs
for Quaker hurlers will be pitching
the big Gray Cartwright. The first
baseman handled the pitching
phores for the purple and gold last
year, but because of his power at
the plate he has been switched to
the initial sack. Against the Mc-
Crary Eagles last week he chipped
in with three hits, one of-which was
a booming triple.
However, the Guilfordians will
have a few surprises of their own
in store for the Pointers. Big
Wally Maultsby will be back in
center field to try and repeat his
performance of last year. Little
Jase liaiis will also prove to be
another thorn in the Panthers' side.
Dewey Wolfe, who so ably handled
the pitching chores in last year's
contest, will once again be ready to
take the mound. Jim Coward and
Hill Itingier, two superb defensive
infietJders, will be prepared to rob
the Panthers of many hits. Rudy
Craven, Sam Venuto, and Hill Mc-
Cormick will round out the batting
order with plenty of power. Any
one of these three can put one out
of the park at any time. The only
doubtful starter will be second
baseman, Herman Enochs. Suffer
ing an injured elbow as a result of
being hit by a pitched ball in the
Johns Hopkins game last week,
the steady little keystone man may
be replaced by Pee Wee Ingram,
rserve in fielder.
The probable starting nine that
will take the field for High Point
will he Ridge, third base, Taylor,
shortstop, Bovener, second base,
Oollette, center field, Kimball,
catcher, Meekins. left field, Smith,
right field, Cartright, first base, and
either Swlggett or Draper pitch
ing.
