' THE QUAKER VOLUME THREE 1915-1916 fcll ' 1 THE CHURCH MARY MENDENHALL HOBBS TO MARY MENDENHALL HOBBS THIS VOLUME OF THE QUAKER IS DEDICATED AS A TOKEN OF ESTEEM FOR HER LOYAL INTEREST IN GUILFORD THE Q.UA.]PC] R_ Mary Mendenhall Hobbs There is not in all literature a more beautiful tribute to an exemplary life and character than the half dozen words spoken of a woman for an act that has made her name a gracious memorial, She hath done what she could. ' And no words of less import than these could be used to set forth the character and work of the subject of this sketch — Mary Mendenhall Hobbs. Every community that is so fortunate as to claim for its own one of these rare souls who has the ability to perform a task and the heart to pursue it is indeed blessed above all neighbor- hoods. What New Garden community and Guilford College owe to Mrs. Hobbs cannot be told in words. Mary Mendenhall Hobbs, oldest daughter of Dr. Nereus Mendenhall and Orianna Wilson Mendenhall, was born at Jamestown, North Caro- lina, in 1852. Her father. Dr. Mendenhall, was one of Guilford County ' s great men and a distinguished citizen of the State: her mother a woman of excellent parts and rare culture. From them and from her early training under their immediate supervision Mrs. Hobbs received those traits of gentle firmness and broad sympathies so characteristic of her in all her work. Educated in the best schools of the time, she felt herself drawn to- ward the profession of teaching, and entered upon her duties at New Garden Boarding School in 1877 as instructor in Latin and History, where she continued for three years. In 1880 she was married to Lewis Lyndon Hobbs, who was at that time principal of the school. From that day she, with Dr. Hobbs, has devoted her life to the great task of education and service not only for the school, college, and community, but also for a widely extended field as the call from time to time has come to her. John Ruskin somewhere calls to our mind the ancient habit of strew- ing flowers before those whom we think most happy, in order to de- ceive them into the hope that hapiness is always to fall thus in showers at their feet. He continues by saying that the path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers, but that they rise behind her steps. This is as it should be, and thus it is with Mrs. Hobbs. Particularly in this regard is the work that she has done and the interest she has taken in the education of the young women of the State. In 1889 Mrs. Hobbs became actively interested in the provision of greater educational facil- THE ( UAlbCER. ities for the young women of North CaroHna, and especially that suit- able arrangements be made at Guilford College for the accommodation of those who were unable to bear the expense of a college training. As a result the Girls Aid Committee of North Carolina Yearly Meeting was organized, and what later became known as the cottage system was established for the accommodation of these worthy girls. As chairman of this committee Mrs. Hobbs made possible the attendance at Guilford College of hundreds of young women from all sections of the State to whom, otherwise, the collage portals would have remained forever closed. As the success of this enterprise was established and the con- cern grew upon her and her associates in the work, the need of an ade- quate dormitory for these girls was laid before the Yearly Meeting and the friends of the college. As a result, through the untiring efforts of Mrs. Hobbs, after almost seemingly insurmountable difficulties had been overcome, the task was accomplished, and an excellent brick building, modern in every convenience, with kitchen and spacious dining hall and dormitory accommodations for fifty girls, was completed in 1907. By this method hundreds of girls, who otherwise must have endured intellec- tual starvation, have received a good education, and by it many other hundreds yet to come will be prepared for life and for service in the world. Verily behind the steps of Mary M. Hobbs will rise flowers that will bless her for having blessed them, and will love her for having loved them. Furthermore, Mrs. Hobbs was among the first to realize the neces- sity of establishing a State school where young women might have the same opportunities for education that the young men enjoy at the Agri- cultural College and the State University: and she petitioned the Legis- lature in the matter. Soon thereafter the State Normal and Industrial College was established at Greensboro. And Mrs. Hobbs was always regarded by Dr. Mclver, its first president, as one of its staunchest friends and most valued supporters. Although she taught no classes at Guilford College, her presence on the campus and the delightfully instructive and scholarly addresses given by her from time to time are remembered with great delight by every student of the institution. Her unanimous election as an honor- ary member of the Guilford Alumni Association is only a feeble token of the great love and esteem in which she is held by the members. Her gracious manner, with kindly words of encouragement and motherly in- terest have been a veritable balm to the soul of many who might other- wise have fallen by the wayside. The interest of Mrs. Hobbs in the establishment and maintenance of THE Q UAlbCELF the Guilford College Graded School for the children of the neighbor- hood has been no less than her interest in the broader fields of educa- tional activity. The beauty of the grounds and the conveniences about the building are due in a large measure to her kindly solicitude and care. Besides being actively and forcefully concerned in the educational fa- cilities of the community and State, she has long been regarded as one of the leading women in the Society of Friends in the United States. As such she has frequently responded to calls for papers and addresses before the most notable conferences and gatherings of Friends in this country. Her fine literary style, clear and incisive utterances, together with her sane, logical mind and clear judgment, have won for her a warm place in the hearts of all who have heard her. Few of the mem- bers of the Society of Friends in America know more of the history, or have a keener insight into the beliefs and doctrines of Friends than Mrs. Hobbs. The most commendable work of Mary Hobbs. as with all women who succeed in the undertaking, has been the maintenance of a hospitable and attractive home. Here she created an atmosphere that was invit- ing not only to her large circle of friends, but genuinely pleasant and satisfying to her daughter and sons. Here have gathered from time to time rich and poor alike, mingling together in the most cordial demo- cratic spirit to share her gracious hospitality. As a neighbor and friend Mrs. Hobbs will stand under the most rigid test. As a neighbor she is sociable, thoughtful, kind, and helpful: as a friend she is gracious, frank, obliging, and sincere. Those who have known her as students of the college will owe to her an eternal debt of gratitude for her kindly interest in their welfare; the entire community can never repay her for her faithful and unselfish ser- vices: what she has accomplished outside the college and beyond the environs of the immediate community will be spoken of as an ever- lasting memorial.

THE LIBRARY THE ( U AK.E FL |[ History of Guilford College The Friends arose in England about the micfdle of the seventeenth century, and they were one of many protests in that turbulent and riotous age against formalism and dead- ening effect of a purely ritualistic worship, and they formed a part of the forward move- ment known as the English Reformation. They were among the earliest religious bodies to organize in North Carolina. Their records of annual meetings embrace a period of two hundred and seventeen years. An English Friend, John Archdale, was Governor of the Colony of North and South Caro- Ima m 1696-16%. George Fox, the founder of the Friends Church, spent a short time m North Carolina in 1672 and was received by the colonial officials with great cordiality. We find among the Friends of our State that attention was given, in the early days of the yearly meeting, to the problem of education. In 1833 a definite proposition to found a Boarding School was before the yearly meeting. The eloquent Jeremiah Hubbard pleaded for the cause, and the distinguished preacher, Nathan Hunt, gave the subject his whole-hearted support. His appeals in behalf of a central school, made in New England and in other yearly meetings, aroused a deep interest in the cause. Notably was this so m the case of George Howland, of New Bedford, Mass., who in 1833 contributed liberally towards the building of Founders Hall. On the 1st of August, 1837, the school was opened, there being present the first term fifty students, twenty-five boys and twenty-five girls, and the institution has been in con- tinuous operation since that date. In the beginning the purpose was to put in charge teachers of marked scholarship and firmness of character. During the fifty-two years which was the limit of the existence of the Boarding School, there were in the faculty both as principals and assistants several men and women who won distinction as teachers and eminence in scholarship. Among these Dr. Nereus Men- denhall, Pendleton R. King, Professor A. Marshall Elliott and Mary E. Harris deserve mention. The first named taught nine years in the school, and his marked ability as a teacher and his great depth as well as breadth of scholarship made a lasting impression on students and on the public mind. A. Marshall Elliott became an authority m the THE ( UAlhCELR, department of the Romance Languages at Johns Hopkins University, holding a professor- ship from the opening of the University until his death. The growth of the school from 1878 to 1888 is worthy of note. The Trustees at the last named date decided to change the school to a college. Francis T. King, of Baltimore, whose interest in education in North Carolina for many years gave his judgment great weight with North Carolina Friends, favored the change, and suggested the name Guil- ford College. The yearly meeting gave the yearly meeting house for a school building. The necessary changes were made in the large brick house which stood nearly on the site of the present Library, there being space enough for class rooms and study hall on the first floor and for dormitories for young men on the second floor. In 1884 President Joseph Moore, of Earlham College, had been called to the princi- palship of the school, who succeeded for a period of four years L. Lyndon Hobbs, who had been principal since 1878. In 1885 this large building, named King fdall, was destroyed by fire, and, as a conse- quence, Archdale Hall was built and a new King Hall was erected on the site of the one destroyed. In 1888 President Joseph Moore resigned and returned to Earlham College. His work at the school and in the yearly meeting, both as a teacher and as a preacher, cannot be too highly praised. His scientific ability, his gentlemanliness in every walk of life and his marked success as a teacher made his work in North Carolina distinctly valuable. Lewis Lyndon Hobbs was chosen President of the college and served continuously to the close of the year ending June L 1915. In this long period great changes were made in the buildings and equipments, in the faculty, in endowment and in the development of the courses of study and in the recognition of Guilford ' s place in the institutions of the State. In 1897 James B. and B. N. Duke, of Durham, gave the college ten thousand dollars to construct Memorial Hall, this being in memory of their sister, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lyon. Subsequently they gave fifteen thousand dollars on endowment. They and their sister were at one time students in the school. In 1907 New Garden Hall was built for girls who might desire to lessen the e.xpense of living at the college, thus reducing the cost of an education and gaining an opportunity to obtain a college training and an academic degree which otherwise in many instances would have been missed. This was the enterprise of the women of North Carolina Yearly Meeting, and the we ll furnished substantial brick building stands as a monument to the noble work made possible by this arrangement. THE GLU AlbCEL ]F In 1913 a new dormitory for boys, Cox Hall, was erected, accommodations in which have added much to the comfort of young men who have lived in this building. In 1909, through a contribution of nine thousand dollars by Andrew Carnegie, a new Library was erected. The same year a new building was erected for class rooms and a physics laboratory, both these being made necessary in consequence of the second fire, this destroying a second building on the same site. The year before Founders Hall was renewed, steam heat was introduced and the old building, being almost recreated, was made fit for another long term of service. Electric lights had been introduced into the buildings several years before. The increase of endowment, bringing the permanent fund up to o ne hundred and eighty-seven thousand dollars, has been a source of greatly increased power centered in the institution. The added requirements for admission and the development of the de- partments of instruction made possible by the endowment have given the college standing in the eyes of educated people, and there has long been at Guilford an atmosphere of scholarship and solid work and worth. CAMPUS SCENES THE GLUAfClElF Campus Song When the shades of evening gather, Guilford students hie To the soft green-swarded campus. For a time our books laid by; And the parting rifts of sunlight, As they linger soft and long. Shed a hallowed gleam of gladness. On our merriment and song. Now the songs of dear Old Guilford Peal across the downy green. From Archdale to Memorial S pan the distance far between; And the walls of dear old Founders, The reverberations fling From Cox Hall to New Garden. As our voices gaily ring. Then across to fair Arcadia. The chimings wing their flight. Till across the far-flung hill-tops. They kiss heavens dome of light; Then as if they rued their boldness. Back they come n echoes gay. And thus end the winged praises Of the crimson and the gray. THE ( UAIhCEL Board of Trustees E. C. MENDENHALL High Point. N. C. J. VAN LINDLEY Pomona. N. C. C. P. FRAZIER Greensboro, N. C. HENRY A.

Have you ever known a person whom it would be literally impossible to dislike, even if you had an in- clination to do so? If you have, you know exactly the type of girl Juliet is. She has a magnetic personality which brightens the very atmosphere around her. As a natural consequence she was elected president of the Girls ' Athletic Association last fall, for no giil on the campus see.med so preeminently fitted as did she; first because of her wide interest in both outdoor and indoor sports; and second, because of her sympathetic appreciation of girls. We do no t fear that Juliet will lack friends or that she will fail in her undertakings, for ' ■a merry heart goes all a day. a sad heart tires in a mile. ' FREDERICK ROYSTER BLAYLOCK.

One does not have to be told that Jo hails from a Land of Liberty, for she radiates an atmosphere of independence with her every word and action. Not a rap does she seem to care for your opinion or mine. Owing to this fact Jo is frequently miiunderstood. for beneath this exterior of indifference there beats a heart warm and affectionate almost to a fault.

Lester is a quiet fellow except when ragtime music masters his soul; then he is bound to pour forth some good bass harmony.

But Coggins can do more than give off pleasant sounds; he is good in math., and in this field he has chosen to lead the youths of our State to drink of the fountain of knowledge.

Such a case as this it is when the Senior girls admit a feeling of insignificance when their efforts are compared with the intellectual achievements of this young lady. The ordinary col- lege girl is prone to regard a mathematical course, with all of its calculus and analytics as not being congenial with the feministic temperament, but Laura has safely made her way through all of them, even to working a host of formidable looking problems for her Senior thesis. And, to cheer her pathway, each year she has received Honors, The last and greatest honor is now drawing near. I cannot tell exactly what it is, but you can guess. BESSIE AVA GUTHRIE. A.B. Snow Camp.

Cliff, one of the strongest members of the class, joined us in our Junior year and has since been closely identified with every phase of college life. A good, methodical student with a clear business head, he ac- complishes whatever he undertakes. The State of Randolph has instilled in him the diversified nature of that county, and this may lead him to teach for a few years, but finally he will turn to law for he is des- tined to become involved in politics. He is a diligent society worker and is sincere and true to his friends. Withal. Cliff is a good fellow and is a man popular among men. 43 CHARLES TILLY LAMBETH, B.S. Guilford College. N.

Here comes little Fuzzy-head, carrying enough dig- nity for the whole Senior Class, yet wearing a bright smile which tells you of her sunny disposition. Floy is one of the two artists of her class. As one said of her. She does the thmgs the others can ' t do. She is very frank, fair in her judgments and broadminded in her views. Along with her talent for art she is very musical, and it is evident that her intellectual ability, her strong personality, her sunny disposition, and her musical talent will win for her an enviable position in the educational and social world.

Pervis came among us in the fall of 1913 and was classified as an irregular student. By persistent effort he entered the class in the fall of 1915. His work has been of the best grade, as the Big Book will show. Aside from this he is considered by some as the most handsomest man in the class. He admits his pref- erence for the fair sex and never misses an opportu- nity to entertain them. We are not sure but that he will take something more than a diploma from Guil- ford. His major work has been in English and Mod- ern Languages. His ambition is to enter the field of journalism. COLONEL ROBERT MITCHELL. B.A. Guilford College, N. C.

In the Prep department about six years ago there landed at Guilford a young, tall, gawky, mountaineer lad in the person of one Colonel Robert Mitchell. Mitch first distinguished himself as an illustrious college man by winning the Freshman Oratorical Prize. He has been a consistent student, spending most of his time in history and economics. As a debater and pub- lic speaker he has made a record to which he may look with pride. In whatever field of activity he may enter his sound sense, business ability and strong character will bring him unquestioned success. FREp HELSABECK MORRIS. B.A. Kernersville, N.

Before you is the likeness of a man. a man who has not only his own convictions and opinions, but has also the sort of admirable courage which it takes to let them be known when occasion demands. Polonius has made action the keynote of his college course, and that same active enthusiasm which bridged over many of his own difficulties has also been an asset to Guil- ford College. In society work, in class work, on the athletic field, he has always been found with his shoul- der to the wheel. He is neither an idler nor a recluse, but has acquired the habit of doing things and is un- doubtedly one of the hardest fighters on the hill. THOMAS GREY PERRY. A.B. Wilkesboro. N. r ■T. G.

He can talk politics, love (and he is best at this) or religion, as the case may be. He is a sym pathetic confidant and a desirable companion for a long walk. Although the more serious side of college life has claimed him, he can tell a joke and, in fact, is funny hmseU. Perry is not an athlete, but he knows how to put ' ' pep into other fields of work.

Runt entered Guilford four years ago on a scholar- ship from Belvidere Academy, and has ever since maintained a scholarliness of mind. Notwithstanding the fact that Archie is cubically the smallest man in the class he is mentally one of the biggest. He has faithfully performed his duties as a member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, as associate editor of the Cuilford- ian. as manager of the Football Club, as class debater, as business manager of the Quaker, and to his class. With his genial spirit and unusual degree of enthu- siasm and sticktoitiveness. we expect to see Runt oc- cupying a much coveted position in whatever field he chooses. TOM B. SEMANS. B.S. Uniontown.

Hit the line hard. In football or in surmounting impediments to a successful career in Medicine, he will always tackle low and tear open the line to make a touchdown. His deep blue eyes, seldom mel- ancholy, scintillate, revealing to the physiognomist a nature bouyant. generous, and kindly. His tilted nose breathes an atmosphere of defiance and self reliant a spirit that has been unremitting on the basketball floor and on the athletic field. A methodical brain crystallizes his logical thoughts into actions, precon- sidered. sure and rapid, and as telling in force as the blows of a trip-hammer. Truly Tom is like Miles Standish. A little man. but a great warrior. TROY RODOLPHUS SHORT, A.B. Greensboro, N. C. Age 25. height 6 feet I inch, weight 175.

That Troy ' s name should be ■ ' Short ' seems quite inconsistent to some of us for as you will see from his record, he is not noted for brevity. Realizmg that if there were no listeners it would be of little avail for any of us to speak, Troy chooses to remain quiet a great deal of his time, reserving his energy for action. During his stay here he has made his influence fett very keenly in all college activities from athletics to Y. M. C. A. His sterling worth and amiable dispo- sition have won for him many friends, and the ab- sence of no other member of the class of 16 will be regretted more next year than will that of this tall ■■Short fellow.

Four years ago there appeared among the shining ranks of the Freshman Class a tall, slender, distin- guished looking hopeful who was the very essence of true dignity and modesty. Her modesty was the citadel of beauty and virtue. She has held the record throughout her college career as being the most refined member of the class. Every one loves her. both old and young alike. Her winsome, coy. demure deport- ment will always make ardent friends of those with whom she comes in contact. One can truly say she is the true Worth that requires no interpreters. Her everyday deeds form her blazonry. CAROLYNE BALLINGER YATES. A.B. Guilford College. N. C. Carrie Jeff ' Age 20. height 5 feet 2 inches, weight 1 1 3.

Her very presence is an inspiration towards an opti- mistic view of life. She seems to impress upon us that • Gayety and a light heart in our virtue and decorum are the best medicine for the young. And the Eiig Book shows that this medicine is justified as C s rarely find room on her grades. She is earnest, steady and enthusiastic, an ever- ready helper in all phases of college activities.

THE ( UAFCELF History of the Senior Class We have reached the end of our happy days of college life, and now stand on the brink of life ' s whirlpool, upon which our boat will soon be launched, and our future de- pends on our own strength and skill. Therefore, I must relate to you the wonderful story of how we have spent the last four years in college, so that in the years to come when you hear of the greatness attained by members of our class, you may put on an owlish look and say I told you so: he was a Sixteener. Life to us in our Freshman year was just one long slippery-slip. We were a ver- dant bunch, fifty strong, at the beginning of September, 1912. We were just a little greener than the greenest and just a little fresher than the freshest. As proof of this I need only remind you of that memorable first class meeting, when our president, Runt, rose to his feet and said, I know not what my fellow classmates desire, but my wishes were pro- claimed by Napoleon when he said, ' give me liberty or give me death ' . The speaker took his seat amidst a roar of applause, and we immediately declared war upon the Soph- omores, but suffered inglorious defeat at the hands of the trunk straps. The Sophomores kept close guard over us during the year, and at its end we found ourselves well trained in the art of padding, dancing, singing and running. Although we were not all Quakers, the Sophomores caused our spirits to move at certain times in a very miraculous way; yet the Freshmen were to some extent repaid in the spring of the year when, on one bright morning, the Sophs, awoke to find that during the night the 15 to which they had pointed with pride had been converted, by some Magi, into a per- fectly legitimate ' 16. However, if the truth were known, the perpetrators of this dark deed were none other than T. G., Runt, Tom, and another illustrious gentleman who has since deserted our ranks. On May the eighth, 1913, our last class meeting came and Juliette called the roll for the last time. The minutes of the last meeting were adopted, the house adjourned to eat cream and cake furnished by our girls, and thus drifted into the past our first year. When we returned to college in the Fall of 1913 we found that only twenty-eight members were enrolled. Some had decided not to let their studies interfere with their college life and were left behind; others had decided to put their vast knowledge into practical use in amassing wealth, but the twenty-eight standpats entered upon their duties as Sophomores with a dignity that could be attained only by former good training. We wished, in this our second year, to do unto others as had been done unto us, but were handicapped in the full attainment of these wishes by the passage of the Anti-Hazing THE QLUAK.ELR. Law by the North Carolina Legislature. Therefore, the responsibilty of training up the Freshmen in the way that they should go was, to a great extent, shifted to the shoulders of the good old North State. However, we saw to it that the Freshmen did not lose their powers of locomotion and some of them, during snowy weather, became very efficient at track work. The destinies of the class were ruled over, in turn, during this year, by Kate and Bob, Phoebe and Fred. It was during this year that some of the fellows became confirmed in their convictions that no other class had ever held or could ever hold quite such true hearted, loyal, sweet girls. Every Sophomore girl was a Sophomore Juliette, Josephine, Laura, Bessie, Blanche, Bertie, Irma, Hope, Floy, Phoebe, Kate: a loyal bunch — all. in the fall of 1914, twenty of the twenty-eight who had begun the Sophomore year came back as Juniors. Our Junior year was spent in the level-headed, high minded, high stepping, dignified way, characterized by the sobriety that generally marks that period of student life. We were upper-classmen and although we were in sympathy with the Freshmen, we could not remember our Rat life. During the spring of this year we assumed the responsibility of feeding the Seniors for one evening. The success of this Junior-Senior Banquet was due to the unequaled housewifery of our girls, whose untir- ing hands, in a magical way, transformed shad, chicken, flour, lard, sugar, cream, et cetera, into substantial grub and goodies, sufficient to excite the envy of and sufficiently good for a feast of the gods. Did the gods dine? Well no, but the nearest mundane animals to them did Seniors, Juniors, and Faculty. Then Laura Davis gathered up of the fragments twelve baskets full. As Old Sol ' wandered further northward, as the blue birds and the mocking birds chanted their love songs among the early spring foliage of our beautiful campus; as the best in youth rises highest, the Fates prepared their shears to clip our Junior thread. At last June came, and with it brought Separation with his train of sorrow. From among the coke ovens of Uniontown, Pa., from the haberdasheries of New York, from the moun- tain peaks of the State of Wilkes, from the retired homes of Alamance and Randolph, from the fields of Guilford and Forsyth, from the rabbit thickets of Chatham, one tumul- tuous and harmonious growl issued forth Hail, dear old Guilford Thy loyal sons are we. On the eighth of last September we began this our last march for the coveted goal. All the while we had thought that Seniors were the Dignified bunch, and, in fact, at the beginning of the year. President Newlin told us so, but we have spent much time since in trying to decipher who is at the top Seniors or Preps. We have enjoyed, during the year, many feasts and functions at the hands of the THE Q.UA.]bCELR_ faculty and benevolently inclined members of our class. These pleasant occasions have left indelible marks upon our memories of college days. In the pursuance of our studies we have gone in different directions, each one taking the course that would equip him or her best for life ' s work. Among our number some are to be teachers, doctors, chemists, preachers, and business men, and still others who have not decided what they will do. Despite the fact that we boast of ourselves as men and women of brains and ability, there are some few members of the Class who have shown themselves so weak as to suc- cumb to the darts of Cupid. But please do not judge the class by the actions of these few. In this short history there is too little space to enumerate all the redeeming quali- ties, deeds, and characteristics of this class, but 1 will chronicle here a few of its brilliant stunts. In our Junior year we won both the class baseball and basketball championship, and in our Senior year we are the champion basketball players. In our Freshman year our debating team defeated the Sophomores and lost to the Juniors. In our Sophomore year our debaters won from the Freshmen and divided honors with the Seniors. In the Junior year we defeated the Seniors and were in turn defeated by the Sophomores. Now, as our last days at college draw nigh and it comes time for us to don caps and gowns and receive our diplomas, we realize that we can never repay our Alma Mater for what she has given us, but it is a pleasure to know that she only asks our gratitude — gratitude shown by living noble, useful lives, lives ordered by the high ideals she has ' ' ■ HISTORIAN COME DOWN G RLS mr BOYS ARE HER El THE QlU j K Senior Debating Record Although the gods have decreed that the Class of ' 16 should not win the debating cup, our debating record is one of which we need not be ashamed. Three times have we qualified for the final con- test by winning from the Sophs, as Freshman, from the Freshmen as Sophomores, and from the Seniors as Juniors. In the finals our Freshman team lost to the Juniors, our Sophomore team divided honors with the Seniors by mutual agreement, and our Junior team lost a decision to the Sophomores. This year we returned eager for a battle with the Juniors — the victorious Sophs, of a year ago — but were disappointed by their re- fusal to put out a team; so we had to comfort ourselves with their forfeit. SENIOR CLASS DEBATERS THE ( UAlbCER- Senior Class Prophecy The study period was nearly half over and still 1 had two hard lessons to prepare. I had tried every method I could imagine to solve my problems in Mechanics and Differ- ential Equations. I tried the problems in one book, then in the other; I began at the bottom of the page and tried the list to the top; I began at the top of the page and tried them all till I came to the bottom; I began in the middle of the page and skipped the odd ones: but they simply would not offer a solution or, rather, I could not do them. I was about to give up in despair when a bright idea came into my mind. In my past experi- ence I had found that I could sometimes dream the solution of problems in Physics and Mathematics. I ' ll try it now, I thought, and my head was soon resting on the table and I was in slumberland. It seemed that the fates were against me, for the formerly successful charm failed; not even an mkling of my problems entered my dreams. I did have a dream, however, that interested me very much and, perhaps will please you enough to read my account of it. I thought that I was taking one of my frequent, solitary walks through the wood when I met one of the sweetest and daintiest little women I had ever seen. As she carried a book in her hand, I supposed that she, too, had been taking a walk all alone and had been reading some new popular novel. May I walk with you? she asked. Of course 1 consented to go with such a winning little soul as she. She smiled as if pleased and said: You do not ask my name and, as I know yours, I think it only fair that you should hear mine. I can tell you many things that will deeply concern you and which you would like to know. It was pleasant to hear her talk, so I walked on in silence. I am a prophetess, and my name is Sibyl. You have read about the destruction of the Sibyline books, of course? I nodded. Well, I secretly preserved one of the books, that I was supposed to have burned, be- cause of its peculiar contents. I have that book in my hand now and I am going to tell THE Q UAFCELR, you the substance of one chapter the title of which is ' The Twenty of 1916. ' You may fee! free to make any comments or ask any question you like. Now, I shall begin. The first one of ' The Twenty ' mentioned is one called Roy Blaylock, at first; but later he is called Doctor Blaylock, for this member of your class is going to continue his studies in his favorite course (that of Chemistry) until he gets his Doctor ' s degree. He will occupy the position as head of the Chemistry Department at his State University, where he will later do chemical experiments that will enable him to give to his country, and the whole world, improved and n w methods in the industries where chemicals are involved. Lester Coggins will some day wake up to the idea that the combined knowledge of Mathematics and Chemistry and the art of singing might work admirably together in farm life. He will think it worth while to try the experiment for a year. It will work so well that he will prolong the experiment indefinitely. In ten years from now, if you should chance to pass by his farm you would probably see A little farm well tilled A little house well filled A little wife well willed. If you visit New York City, ten or fifteen years from now, you will surely hear of, and probably see, one of the most prominent brokers of Wall Street. Milton will begin by trying his fortunes on the stage as an actor of Shakespeare ' s plays; but, just as he learns to impersonate Romeo to perfection, he will decide that the stage is not where his life ' s work lies. What will become of Juliette? I asked, almost involuntarily. Cannot you guess? she asked. Of course you are thinking of her plans to be a doctor. Well, she will soon abandon those plans, and one day she will go away with her Romeo. Tell me some more, I begged, for she had paused. Your musical member has a brilliant future in store for her. After leaving Guil- ford College, Bessie will pursue her studies further by specializing in music. She will reach the height of her ambition in the position as director of music at Salem College. She will soon find, however, that a career is not the only thing to live for. She will meet her ideal in a young violinist and she will give up her career for a fireside. Your class is sending out a comparatively large proportion of doctors. Archie and Tom will continue to study together, as you have seen them work, side by side, in biology. They will be jointly elected to take charge of a sanitarium which John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is going to found and support in the mountains of North Carolina. Each will be ac- companied by his little brown-eyed comrade, formerly of Guilford College. THE ( UAlbCEL Charles, also, will attain the heights for which he is so diligently striving. Some day you will realize the significance of your class when you hear of the noted Doctor Lambeth, who thrusts aside all the honors, coveted by many of like profession, and goes to be a missionary physician in the tropics of Africa. And you may well be proud of your class- mate when you hear of the great improvements in sanitary conditions that he has made there. In the political campaign in 1928 you need not expect to hear ' votes for women, ' for you will be given your suffrage rights before that time; but you may expect to hear, on nearly every tongue, the name of the woman who does so much toward bringing suf- frage to the women of North Carolina. In that year your demure little classmate, Carrie Yates, will be nominated, by her party, for governor of North Carolina; and she will be well fitted for the place after a course in law and the experience she will get in her politi- cal work. Troy Short cares not for fame, but just to stay where he thinks he can do most good. He will cast his lot with the teachers of his State, making vast improvements wherever he chooses to stop and give his time. Fred Morris and Clifford Hinshaw desire their share of ' political pie. ' Both will become famous statesmen and will do a great deal towards the uplift of true democracy, the elimination of corruption and the abolition of machine-made officials. Both bid fair to have their portraits hung in the ' Hall of Fame. ' Fuller Yates will spend his time in the field of work that has long been of greatest interest to him. He will succeed Thomas Edison as the premier electrician of the uni- verse; and he will also spend much time and thought in trying (as many other scientists have done) to invent a machine with perpetual motion. I shall leave the story of his success until he has finished his experiments. Another one of your number will become a Professor in his State University, along with Mr. Blaylock. Harrell Budd, after making a further study of Latin and French, will find great pleasure in teaching these subjects. Along with his work as teacher, he will have some opportunities to do Y. M. C. A. work. From Jo ' s disposition, you may expect her to study and, later, teach Domestic Science. This will appear to be a natural inclination, but it is really only a kind of prepa- ration for her life ' s work. The lawyer of your class is readily seen in Robert Mitchell. He, too, will begin his life as a college graduate, by teaching; but this will be too dull for him. He prefers to be out in the world, where he sees his ideal in the practice of law. He will be considered by some people as a lawyer-flirt, but he will settl e down to more staid ways before he has broken many hearts. THE QlU jXKSf. R- ][ One member of your class will do a great deal more for suffering humanity than she will ever get credit for, but she does not care for a great name. She will live only for those whom she can help and lift up to a higher level. Your modest little Floy will be one of the really great social service workers of her State. Nor will her work be limited to one State, but will go to many. Soon the number of your class will be lowered, said my companion. She must have seen the change in expression on my face, for she quietly resumed her narrative. • You need not be frightened, she said, No one is going to die in the near future. The book indicates no such ill fortune to any of you. If you were very quick or witty, you would comprehend my meaning. Mr. Perry and Miss Worth are soon to become one. It may interest you, also, to hear that Mr. Perry is going to be a railroad man- not a workman on a train, but an officer of a company whose president he will some time become. Mrs. Perry, with her modesty and refinement, will be well suited to her station in life. I must leave you here, the Sibyl said, when we came to where the path bifurcated. I thank you for the walk and for listening to my prattle. She was turning to leave me. I wanted so much to hear what she knew of my future, but did I dare ask her after her kindness to me? She would surely have told me without my asking if she really cared to tell me at all. Perhaps my future was of such a color that she thought it best for me to remain ignorant concerning it. My curiosity was too much for me; I must know! Won ' t you tell me what is going to become of me, please? I called to her, for she had already passed on into the other path. She paused and turned around, looking as if she were waiting for words that would not offend. Then she spoke, advising and instructing me thus: — Before you can ever come into sight of the ideals towards which you look you will have to change many of your ideals and throw away many of your eccentric views; but there is one thing you need not change — your name. She was gone. THE (O.UAlhClEL Senior Last Will and Testament North Carolina, | Guilford County ) We. the Senior Class of Guilford College, of the aforesaid county and State, knowing that we are soon to leave this asylum for the unfortunate, realizing that there are many things that we do not wish to carry with us, and being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make and declare this our last will and testament. First. We direct that our executors, heremafter named, shall give our bodies decent burial, with ceremonies suitable to our friends and relatives, providing in all cases min- isters who know us not to conduct the ceremony, and pay all funeral expenses, together with all our just debts, out of the surplus money in the college treasury. Second. We give and devise to the Class of ' 17 all the responsibiltiy and positions of trust, that fall to Seniors, and Prof. White ' s telescope, with which we hope that they may, by a study of the signs of the Zodiac, be able to find the true difference between Freshmen and Senior privileges at Guilford College. Third. We give and devise to the Class of ' 18 the privilege of paying for the next Junior-Senior reception, together with a few dreams of future Seniority. Fourth. We give and bequeath to the Class of 19 the right of becoming Sophomores in the true sense of the word: the distinction of being very conspicuous, and the sole right to lead unsuspecting rats in raids on the surrounding orchards. Fifth. We give and bequeath to the History Department of Guilford College the diaries of Juliette and Milton, some of Paul ' s epistles, some Worth(y) documents, some Grace(ful) letters, and the current accounts of Mr. Hinshaw ' s record sprint from the apple orchard and the fall of Troy, to be kept in the library, as primary material, for the students who will later want to work up the history of this illustrious class. Sixth. We give and bequeath to the English Department all the bluff we have used in the last four years, and all that we still have remaining, now vested chiefly in H. Budd. Seventh. We devise and bequeath to the Latin Department all of our collected works by The Handy Book Co., and Hinds and Noble, so that the students ' and instructors ' translations shall more nearly coincide. Eighth. We give and bequeath to the Biology Department all the latest German books on the present war and its effect on the evolution of the race. Ninth. We devise and bequeath to the Music Department a few of Miss Guthrie ' s instrumental solos, and the voices of Miss Yates and Mr. Mason, the last named to be used only on special occasions — total eclipses, etc. Tenth. We give and bequeath to our beloved Faculty Student-government, with the admonition handle with care. T H E Ql U A K. EL R. Eleventh. We give and bequeath to the Girls ' Athletic Association a repair bill re- sulting from a torn-down tennis net and the use of the gymnasium on the afternoons that the boys do not want the same. Twelfth. We give and bequeath to the Boys ' Athletic Association a few G ' s, said G ' s to be distributed with discretion. Thirteenth. We do give and bequeath to Miss Benbow the dignity of the Senior Class, vested chiefly in Mr. Hinshaw. Mr. Perry, Miss Davis and Miss Lassiter, said dig- nity to be placed with the unmarked laundry and taken by the first comer. Fourteenth. We give and bequeath to the future day boys the pleasure of entertain- ing their Senior classmates, which pleasure is now enjoyed solely by Messrs. Roy Blay- lock, Charles Lambeth, Fuller Yates, Robert Mitchell and Lester Coggins. Fifteenth. We give and bequeath to the dining room the memories of a Senior table that has been, including our fusses, blushes, puns, stale jokes, and harsh laughter. Sixteenth. We devise and bequeath to the Laundry all the buttons we brought with us, and many with which the original ones were replaced at a great cost of time and labor. Seventeenth. We give and bequeath to Grady Burrus, Esq., the distinction of being the midget athlete of the college, said distinction being now enjoyed by one T. B. Semans. Eighteenth. We give and bequeath to Guilford College in fee simple the campus on which the buildings are located, all of our unpaid bills, and any superflous knowledge that we have acquired which might be used to more advantage on less fortunate individuals. Nineteenth. Whereas, the girls of the said classes ' 17, ' 18, and ' 19, are minors of the age of about sixteen; now, therefore, our will and desire is that Miss Louise, be, and she is hereby appointed, guardian of the said girls, to have and to hold the custody of their estate until the said girls shall arrive at the full age of twenty-one years.

THOMAS WAKEFIELD CHARLIE McKOIN THE ( U AIFCIEL R_ l[®i TO THE Class of Nineteen Sixteen WITH APOLOGIES TO WHITTIER From the isle of Manhattan to our Sunny South Land. Ho Seniors! brave Seniors! the time is at hand When our hearts growing warmer and our heads growing cool At Guilford, ' tis over— our going to school. All our strifes and vexations, our whims and complaints, (We are not saints ourselves, if the children of saints!) All our petty self-seekings and rivalries done. Round the dear Alma Mater our hearts beat as one! Now are we older: our footsteps, once light in play Of the bygone school-time, move slower today. Our faith should be cheerful, our trust make us glad. Our follies and sins, not our years make us sad. Life is brief, duty grave; but with rain-folded wings. Of yesterday ' s sunshine the grateful heart sings; And we. of all others, have reason to pay The tribute of thanks, and rejoice on our way: For the counselors who converted us from the weakness of youth: For the charm of patience, and the whiteness of truth: For the wounds of rebuke, when love tempered its edge: For the Masters restraint, and the discipline ' s hedge; For a sense of the goodness revealed everywhere. As sunshine impartial, and free as the air; For a trust in humanity, heathen or Jew. And a hope for all darkness the light shineth through. Long live the good school! givmg out year by year Recruits to true manhood, and womanhood dear: Brave boys, modest maidens, in beauty sent forth. The living epistles and proof of its worth! ' C. B.

Ruth came to us in the fall of 1915. a graduate of Mars Hill College, and we were glad to welcome her as a member of our class. Even though some of us do not know her so very well, yet we are sufficiently acquainted with her to know that she is a good student. However, she is a firm believer in never let your work interfere with your pleasure. and she does not worry over anything but patiently waits for things to just happen. She has a dreamy, idealistic nature, is quiet and unassuming, desiring rather to be in the background than to be a conspicuous leader. MAUDE ELIZABETH LASSITER. A.B. Mechanic. Randolph Co nty. N. C.

Ethel is a good society worker and an excellent classmate. She is as industrious as the bee and may always be found with her books, but she never seems to worry over grades, constantly repeating Ah! What matters? It all happens in a lifetime. Her sense of humor bubbles over, no matter what the occasion, and whether she becomes a militant suffragette or a housekeeper we feel sure that she will always view the comical side of life.

It is indeed hard for her to keep her mind on German and Greek when the Y. W. C. A store is so near at hand. She believes that one Her- shey in the hand is worth a dozen in the store. It is equally as wonderful how much Grace can cram in her mouth at a feast and how much she can cram in her head just before examinations. All in all. Grace 15 one of the most popular girls of her class. THE GLUAFCELF Juniof Class Poem I They are almost past — the halcyon days. And we are glad! To know the world — its mystic ways. And why it ' s sad Lure us as the chariot lured Apollo ' s fated son. Are no heroic deeds for us assured When we are done? For all these too presumptuous tasks Of thine and mine. Will not the world fill full our flasks With strained wine? We turn the restless thoughts away And strive to see That if the base resists decay, The alchemy Of high ideals must change the dross. And then to know The ecstacy of dreams not lost! And then to go And seek the unrequited deed Without design. But to find the joy in answering the need Of all mankind. THE GLUAIhCELR. Junior Class History The largest Freshman Class that has ever entered Guilford College rushed in upon the calm, dignified instructors, with all its greenness and freshness, September 8. 1 13. Per- haps our timidity was overshadowed by our numbers, but it was none the less present. In our own estimation, we were as wise as Sophomores, nevertheless, we managed to learn a few things. Was it not during that year that Ethel told us that Layamon ' s Brute was so named because it contained brutish verses ? and others of us had ample opportunity to improve such accomplishments as dancing, singing, and running (when snow was on the ground). Grace might bear testimony to that divine intuition which leads Miss Louise to search closets at exactly the wrong time. College Algebra, Trig., French, Problems — in fact everything, were sore trials to our inexperienced minds. There still lingers with us a faint recollection of the class in which we attempted the mastery of the English language. Eighty-two boys and girls reciting in Number Seven would naturally give us a cramped mental capacity, with which we were all more or less afflicted. In the spring the boys brought in a dictionary, a spade, and a broom. We thought we would sweep the cobwebs out of our brain and get right down to digging out English, but on second thought we decided to leave the answering to Mary Ina and a few others. In this way, at least, we cooperated with Prof. Crosby in getting intelligent answers to his questions. Jess Garner steered us safely through the first semester of our college life. Budd, Mendenhall, and Hodgin ably represented us in debate, but we were defeated by one vote in the contest with the Sophomores. The climax of all Freshman class meetings was reached in the feed given by the boys in the late spring. One of the interesting features of the program was the debate: Resolved, that her Ladyship, Miss Oma Gray, predominates more superbly and holds more in absolute subjection and universal recognition and appreciation through her sensi- tive prissiveness than the preeminent and right noble his Honor, Mr. Haywood Parks. ' Somewhere, perhaps from our own high hilltops, the voice of some Gideon told the Freshmen of 1913-14 that the faint-hearted and weary need not return; and, even as in the olden days, many turned their faces from the college doors to pursue some other walk in life, some even to get married. Although the class was much smaller than the year before, it indulged in class meetings with the usual ardor, as may be judged from the fol- lowing note taken from the secretary ' s book: On account of not adjourning on time we had no meeting on the evening of January 7, 1915. THE Q.U A.FCEL F ® Some of the Sophomore girls caught a glimpse of what was before them, both as Juniors and as Seniors, when they served at the Junior-Senior banquet. Our enthusiasm ran wild when we won in the debate with the Freshmen, but our class spirit reached its height when our debaters. Garner, Moore, and Newlin, outclassed the Juniors in the final debate and won for us the privilege of placing ' 17 on the cup. On account of back work among some members of the class, in our Junior year we thought it wise to temporarily withdraw our debating team. From our Freshman year our menders have taken an active part in the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. ' s as officers, and as chairmen of committees. Garner and Mendenhall are wearers of the G. The literary societies have found worthy presidents and other offi- cers, as well as loyal members in our class. Every phase of college life has felt the coopera- tion of the Class of 17. That we have the same mind to do the same thing, at the same time and in the s me place, no one could doubt after the feed given at class meeting just before Christmas. You could tell that something was in the air. The girls were sure they knew what it was; the boys were equally as sure that they knew. After adjournment several girls care- fully withdrew at one door, several boys went out at the other. Presently they returned with trays loaded with apples, oranges, grapes, peanuts and bananas. What a time we did have eating fruit and toasting marshmallows over the crackling fire! Though many have dropped out of our class, we hope that with the good went all the bad, and that the eighteen of the Class of Seventeen may ably fill the places so soon to be left vacant by our worthy predecessors, and may pull together for a common pur- pose throughout the ensuing year, knowing that Felicitas est semper veris. In writing the history of the Class of ' 17 one is rather at a disadvantage, because when you come to think about it, ' 17 is a long way off. We are only three years old now, but we are going to be four years old some day. My, how we would like to tell you about the things that will happen during that last year: Sociology examinations. Senior privi- leges, receptions, and all the other nice things which Seniors enjoy, but, alas! history re- lates only to facts. We must not look too far into the future. Perhaps in making our way over the old, yet forever new, pathway trodden by former Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, our ideas and ideals may be changed, nay even mo- mentarily submerged, but the noble ideals held before us in the lives of the men and women who have touched our lives, have spurred us on thus far towards the end of the way, when our narrow path will broaden into the much trodden marts of men. and we will lend our efforts and our lives to the accomplishment of the ideals attained at this dear old Quaker College. HISTORIAN THE ( UAIbCELR. Junior Debating Record Although our inter-class debating team has not been victorious in all the debates, yet it has put up debaters each time that have been a source of credit to themselves as well as to the class. Jn a hard fight with the Sophomores in our Freshman year the debate was lost by a single vote. However, we came back in our Sophomore year with a determination to win, and the result was that we easily de- feated the Freshmen. Next, we met the Juniors who likewise were defeated, thus giving us possession of the cup. In our Junior year we saw fit, for sufficient reasons, not to put out a team. Suffice it to say that the members of the other teams have seen fit not to have interclass debates this year. GARNER NEWLIN MOORE THE Q.UAFCEL Junior Class Prophecy Hot? Yes it was hot! The sun beat down upon us mercilessly. I sought the inviting shade of my little sitting-room, the only luxury I had allowed myself during the four years since I had been sent to this mission in the heart of India as a Student Volunteer. I loved my work, and, since my old classmates. Dr. R. W. Thayer and his better half, Ruth C were stationed a few miles down the river, my separation from America was becoming less of a burden. Having made myself comfortable in a deep, chintz-covered wicker chair, I reached for my mail lying on the table. I was overjoyed to find the Guilfordian one whole day earlier than usual. Leaving everything else to wait, 1 tore off the wrapping and turned to the front page. These glaring headlines met my eyes: Class of ' 17 Has Reunion — Only Two Members Absent. Before I could read further my attention was attracted by a small runabout stopping at my door. Holding the paper, I arose and discovered my visitors to be no others than Dr. and Mrs. Thayer, who customarily came up on Friday to discuss the Guilford news. Again turning to the paper, I read — The Class of ' 17 held its 11th reunion last week with only two members absent, these being Mrs. R. W. Thayer, better known to us as Ruth Coble, and Callie Lewis, both of whom are missionaries in India. Here I omitted a brief paragraph and hurried on to the others about whom we were anxious to The article continued: The Honorable Rhesa Newlin, recently appomted Governor General of Mexico, addressed the class on Monday evening. His subject was ' The Mexi- can A Modern Man. ' The speaker was introduced by Prof. Stanley of the Department of Physics. After the address, the class banquet was held in the dining hall at New Garden Hall. F. H. Mendenhall, the well-known ' Tec ' of his college days was toastmaster. It was ' Tec ' who made the hit that won the world ' s championship for the Boston Red Sox last year, and he has signed up with them for this season. At his right sat ' Clem ' Gray who, as in days of old, is proving her ability as an actress. She has just completed a suc- cessful season in New York, where she starred in Ruth Harding ' s latest play, Played For and Lost, ' which deals with the Woman Suffrage problem. In response to a toast to ' Our Farmers, ' ' Ford ' Beeson and Maud Lassiter, still the cousins of old, who are proving the efficiency of modern methods of farming in Randolph County, arose and proposed ' North Carolina ' s Governor in ' 32 Sallie McGehee. ' Who would have believed that the modest Sallie of 17 would become a suffragette and aspire to the governor ' s chair? THE ( U AlbCEL R After the toasts, Ezra Moore, who has been a salesman for the Arthur Thomas Chemical Supply Company of Philadelphia for five years, entertained the table with a most interesting discourse on the power of the ultra-violet ray. Then, to the delight of all, Ethel consented to sing. Ethel made her debut in New York last season and has been recognized as a prima donna of genius by critics in London and Paris. She has been ask ed to sing before the king and queen at Buckingham Palace next month. It was then that Hazel told us something of the work she is doing among the girls in the mountains of our State. Having been left a fortune by an uncle, she made realities of her dreams of a modern woman ' s realm and established what she calls the Independent Home (for Independent Women) in Haywood County. Hazel is a shining light among the progressive women of today. While speaking she told us about the wonderful work ' Jess ' Garner is doing in Western Carolina. He is literally pulling down mountains and making a paradise on earth among our western hills. ' Jess ' was elected vice-president of the North American Civil Engineers Association at its last session. There were only four present who had not been heard from. After a little per- suasion, Mary Ina told how she had fought for a nine-months session in her county schools and how, finally, with the help of Attorney-General Edwin B. Carroll she had gained what she desired. It is rumored that Mary Ina has concluded that ' single blessed- ness ' is not the best thing after all, and is about to become the bride of an old classmate who is now a bridge-builder. Whether this be true or not we cannot say. In the wee, sma ' hours of the morning, Mrs. Grace Taylor Riddick extended an in- vitation to the class to spend two weeks with her at her summer home near Piedmont Springs. With the benediction by the Rev. Lyndon Stuart, the Class of ' 17 separated after the best of all its reunions. PROPHETESS THE ( UAK ELR. Junior Last Will and Testament We the Class of ' 17. realizing the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death (trusting that the time will come when we can lay aside this earthly form) and knowing our valuable qualities and possessions, do make and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament. Therefore, the estate we have acquired, up to the present time, with fervent zeal and perseverance, we do dispose of as follows: I. To the College we bequeath the small amount of knowledge we have succeeded in storing up, that the same may be handed out in the desired quantity to the needy ones who follow us. II. Also we give and bequeath to the Faculty an over-abundant supply of faculties and cuts for cures of all kinds of diseases, transforming the receivers into beautiful, entertaining, warm and cold dispositioned beings. III. To the brilliant Class of ' 18 we give and bequeath our strong bodies and minds; also our delicately organized and broken down nervous systems, and a vision only slightly injured by gazing at the other sex and overwork under lamp lights. IV. To the Class of ' 19 we bequeath the honorable privilege and duty to entertain the Senior Class at the annual banquet, provided they are more punctual and desirous of doing the same than we have been. V. To the future classes we bequeath old, wornout pens, neatly kept note books, exquisite Biology drawings, stray ponies (named Livy, Virgil or Tacitus), some much-used powder puffs, straw cushions, broken mirrors, Sunday afternoon joy rides and week-day sand-wagon journeys. Along with these we give an extensive library and valuable refer- ence books. Dr. Meredith ' s exciting Latin chapel talks and Prof. Geiser ' s much (un)appreciated Health lectures, and we hope they will profit by them more than we have. VI. Whereas, one of our members, Callie Lewis, has had for some time the over- whelming conceit of the College, we do bequeath same to It Valentine. VII. Whereas, our member, Charles Redding, possesses superb taste and variety of color in his selection of neckties, we bestow the aforesaid accomplishment to Zeb Walser and Ollie Presnell. VIII. Whereas, one of our little members, Mary Ina Shamburger, is known far and near by her beacon light -we do give same to Earl Williams. IX. Whereas, two of our members, Ed. Carroll and Oma Gray, have for the past three years ex{.erienced the pleasures and disappointments in flirting and the unspeakable joy in giving and receiving heavenly smiles, we do give same to Raymond Smith and Dorothy Faucette. X. Whereas, two of our members, Ezra Moore and Ethel Speas, have lived up to their highest ideals of dignity and loftiness, we bequeath same to Ellen Raiford and Ira Hinshaw of the Sophomore Class. 84 THE (XUAFCIELR- XI. Whereas, one of our members, Rhesa Newlin, now holds the marvelous oratorical ability of the class, we do give same to Clarence Macon. XII. Whereas, one of our favorite members, Ruth Coble, is characterized by her delicate blushes and pleasant disposition, we order the same to be given to Margaret McMahan. XIII. Whereas, Hazel Armstrong through all these years has succeeded in cultivating a voice similar to that of a nightingale, accompanied by sweet and gentle laughter, we do bequeath the entire possession to be divided equally between Leacy Hackett and Crouse Jones. XIV. Whereas, our new member, Ruth Harding, holds a monopoly on laziness, we do give and bequeath Amy Stone the same, provided she promises not to surpass her predecessor in the aforesaid art. XV. Whereas, Lyndon Stuart has the honor of being one of the first explorers of the campus and its contents, and is, therefore, able to answer all questions satisfactorily, we do give Emelyn Holton and Evelyn Blaylock the privilege of asking information from the never-failing source. XVI. Whereas, one of our members, Powell Mendenhall, has a very modest, graceful walk, we do give the same to Frank Armstrong, with the understanding that he follow, as far as he is able, in the footprints of his pattern. XVII. Whereas, two of our members, Jesse Garner and Grace Taylor, have merited the constant respect, popularity and devotion of the Faculty, we bequeath the same to Gertrude Cronk of the Freshman Class and Jones Smith of the Sophomore Class. XVI II. Whereas, Sallie McGehee has for the past three years been noted for her good grades —a firm believer and advocate of Woman ' s Rights — we do give same to Ruth Coltrane, and we hope her efforts in the aforesaid lines of work will be successful. XIX. Whereas, from the very beginning Maude Lassiter has developed a never- ceasing, ever-increasing appetite, and has the name of exceeding all others in monkey actions, we do bequeath the aforesaid capacity to Etta Sullivan, of the Freshman Class, the most promising of the many candidates. XX. Whereas, Henry Beeson has from time immemorial been pointed out as the stingiest man on the campus; his greatest care and pride has been in collecting various pins, buttons, nails, strings, handkerchiefs, etc., that have come his way; this aforesaid collection we wish to be sold to the highest bidder and the proceeds to go to missions. XXI. Having made the above disposal of our worldly possessions we hereby appoint Thomas Wakefield and William Nelson executors of this our Last Will and Testament. In witness thereof this will has been lawfully drawn up, this the twenty-eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixteen, in the presence of the following witnesses: CLASS OF 17 Josiah Crabtree Moses Hemphill Helsabeck Crookedback Sa mpson Treetoad Artemitia Crookedback THE ( U AibCE F Sophomore Class History Early in September, 1 ' 514, some forty -four of us young men and women broke a va - from our childhood environments and came to Guilford in search of some of the bits of knowledge that she had in store for us. Soon after our arrival we heartily entered into all the phases of college life that Freshmen are entitled to. Our class assembled in Founders Hall, undisturbed by the sophisticated Sophomores, and elected class officers — few of us knowing for whom we were voting, yet the election was a wise one. Some of the bolder ones lingered a short time after the house had adjourned and timidly made a few remarks about the advisability of taking Freshman English and discussed the horrors of College Algebra. Long before Miss Louise had thought of hastening the adieux we departed from our first meeting, believing that we, as an organized class, were an essential part of the college. We then launched upon the broad sea of knowledge with a determination to take a part in those things that really count in college life. In our Freshman year our debating team lost to the Sophomores by a two-to-one decision. Not only did our boys put forth a strong fight in debate, but some of our num- ber won distinction in athletics. Our basketball team won over the Sophomore team, and, with a margin of only one point, lost the class championship to the victorious Juniors. Although we could not claim the championship in basketball, we had the dis ' ction of furnishing Varsity men for practically every phase of athletics at Guilford. When we entered upon our second year ' s work, we found that many of our number had not returned. Some had accumulated such a store of knowledge during the Fresh- man year that it seemed necessary for them to transmit some of it to their mental inferiors; some had been able to make the Junior Class, while others had gone to other institutions. With this little band of untiring survivors we again began the struggle, believing that effort leads to success. Our class was considerably enlarged at midyear by the addition of several new members, and the horizon of our vision broadened as we drew nearer the close of the second year of our college life. During these two years of college activities we have learned some things from real work, and much from experience. Our girls are loyal, and to them is largely due the suc- cess that we, as a class, have attained. They have stood willing and eager to aid us in all our undertakings. We hope that next year will find all of us back at our posts of duty with a renewed energy and determination to grasp greater things in the future than we have in the past.

THE CLUAFCEF Freshman Class History To record fully the history of the Freshman Class would be a task that would stagger even a Hercules, for, although the life of our class has been brief in point of time, it has been amplified by the number of hairbreadth experiences, both in the classroom and on the campus, through which it has gone successfully. We have escaped thus far the dangers which were ever constant in our minds when we came here mainly — that the Faculty would find out how much we knew and would try to exchange places with us: or that the Old Fellows would think our voices and feet too tender to allow us to use them publicly during the first months of our stay here. It is a known fact that no other class would have had a chance in the track meet this spring if the upper classmen had not discontinued their time-honored custom of training us during the snowballing season; however, we are all good Quakers, for a while at least, and therefore we do not believe in preparedness. Our class held its first meeting in Founders ' Hall in the early part of September, 1915. There we elected our officers, some of us not knowing exactly for what or for whom we were voting, but still too experienced in diplomacy to let our ignorance be known to the world. Our class meetings are characterized by their solemnity, gravity and quiet order- liness. Miss Louise has to come down and pay her respects to us only twice each evening -and that is more than can be said of any other class. Our class is well represented in the athletic and literary life of the college. All the members of our class belong either to a literary society, the Y. M. C. A. or Y. W. C. A. Several are expecting to enter the oratorical contests in the spring, and we expect to do honor to our class. We are rather proud of our athletic record. In football last fall we were well represented; we have as many men on Varsity basketball as any other class, and expect to have several on the baseball team in the spring. We defeated the Sophs, overwhelmingly in class basketball, but later had our feathers trimmed by the Seniors. The girls of our class have been our most loyal supporters in every game, and are well represented in their own athletic contests. We have learned many things during our brief stay here, but perhaps the most important one is the realization slowly dawning on our minds that we really know very little after all. HISTORIAN «ok III ON THE ATHLETIC FIELD THE ( UAFCEL Athletics at Guilford The past year has seen several significant changes in the Guilford athletic policy. Chief among these is the assessment of a regular fee for physical training. This fee of $5 is levied on each young man, and its payment entitles him to the use of the equipment of the Athletic Association and also admits him to all contests staged on the home grounds. The results of the scheme have been highly beneficial. By providing a certain and definite income, athletics have been placed on a sound financial basis which enables the respective managers to arrange a higher class home schedule. Another valuable result has been visible in the increased support which has been given the Quaker teams. With practically every boy on the campus at every game, together with a loyal group of girls, there has resulted an enthusiasm and patriotism not hitherto accorded Guilford teams. This college spirit, which has been consistently manifested this year, is a certain affirmation of the wisdom of the too-long-delayed athletic fee. In athletic sports there has also been a departure, because, for the first time since 1904 the authorities have allowed football, not as a standardized college sport, but as an independent athletic activity. Accordingly, the Guilford Football Club was organ- ized, equipment was provided, and a team produced. Two games were played, one with the Carolina Freshmen and the other with the High Point Independents. The results were a defeat and victory, respectively. Considerable sentiment is developing for the standardization of football, but nothing of a permanent nature has been done. A pre- requisite to intercollegiate football is an expert coach, and in the absence of such a person any local football talent must necessarily remain undeveloped. In the regular intercollegiate sports, Guilford has not maintained her usual standard. Inexperience and lack of training have been the chief elements wanting. The tennis team was composed of new men who fought pluckily, but were unable to cope success- fully with the representatives of the other colleges of the State. The track team of 1915, however, was successful in the only meet of the season, and the indications point to a fair team to represent the Crimson and Gray on the cinder path this spring. Soccer has received its proportion of interest during the past winter, and the circle of its devotees is gradually widening. Guilford is the pioneer in this game, which has not yet secured a foothold in the other colleges of the State, but which must in the course of time be recog- nized by North Carolina institutions. The 1915 baseball season was fairly successful. With only two veterans on the club — Futrell and Short — the team was able, under the efficient coaching of John Fox, to split THE ( UAIbCELR, even, winning eight games and losing a like number. The prospects for a representative nine this season are encouraging. John Fox is again in charge of a working squad which consists of five letter men— Short, Futrell, Garner, Riddick and Morris — and a number of new men. We are confidently expecting a good record in baseball this year. In basketball we have been sorely disappointed. True, material, after the Christmas holidays, was not so abundant as usual, but this was not the sole cause for our several defeats. The absence of a coach until about ten days before the opening game and illness which prevented team practice were contributing factors to the large scores made by our opponents. The team fought valiantly against overwhelming odds, but without the usual degree of success. Be it said to their credit that they won the well-deserved repu- tation of playing the cleanest ball of any quintet in the State. The past season, it is hoped, will serve as a sufficient experiment to the scheme of athletic supervision in vogue this year. Guilford needs an athletic director who can give his entire time to the work of physical education. No member of the faculty, be he ever so capable, can do his prescribed curriculum work efficiently and at the same time do justice to the athletic duties. The past season of defeats in tennis and merciless drub- bings in basketball will not have been in vain if they convince the trustees, the Alumni, and the friends of the College that a new athletic policy is an absolute necessity if Guil- ford ' s high athletic standard is to be maintained. A whole-time athletic director, a Guil- fordian if possible, is what we need. Four different coaches have been employed for part-time service during the year, and with but one exception, the baseball coach, they have been secured too late in the season to do the most effective work. The same effort and resources expended in the direction of securing one competent man to give all his time to physical training will, it is believed, net far greater results. This policy was followed during the years 1912-1914 and the results are matters of pleasant history. A return to this system, which gave Guilford the best baseball team in the State, will again restore her to her rightful position in the realm of intercollegiate athletics. ATHLETIC CABINET Scnians.

TRACK SQUAD SNOWBALLING ■Li ' KlJ REQUIESCAT IN PACE IN MEMORIAM THE (XUAlbCELF )now ball ing Sad were the times, and cursed were the days. For the impudent Freshmen just dared us to haze. And the snow that we trampled under our feet Proved an inspiration, and our needs just did meet. We made us snowballs so nice and so round And the fresh young Rats we proceeded to pound. But alas and alack! ' tis sad to relate Some Rats proved rebellious concerning their fate. Why did you kick when the snowballs fell And give the impression you were treated like ? Well Couldn ' t you see, little babies in pants. If you took it this year, that next your own chance Would come and forever permit you to say. I ' ve taken my dose, and by right can repay With interest, my bruises and sore limbs galore: For I ' ve thus earned the right to even the score ? Gone are the crack-shot men who gave that fresh band The worst they could give them with the snow in their hand. And the tears fall thick when we think of that THING, That almost the care from our hearts seemed to wing. We miss the dear men that left this dear spot. And our hearts cry aloud at what fell to their lot. And into their places are the childish young whelps That cringed at the snowballs, and called with their yelps On Senior and Faculty to defend their weak frames From a poor little snowball: and hand in the names. That those whom by instinct it is natural to hate Might thus get a chance to retaliate. And soak them by law for the things they had done. Which were a privilege and right, handed down To those who had suffered by the ones gone before And are now being cheated from squaring the score. And though they prance round in their silly Rat days. And grin at their uppers, when they know they can s haze. They ' ll regret it next year, when a hundred or more Grin in their face, and they can ' t even the score. For. like the fool whose headworks were loose. They ' ve broken the egg, and killed the goose. Y. W. A. A. CABINET President. Juliette Ballinger Vice-President. Deborah Brown Secretary. Bernice Pilce Basketball Manager.

The organizing of the Young Men ' s Christian Association of Guilfora College in 1889 marks the beginning of a great uplifting force in our midst. The organizers recognized that the student body needed some strong dynamic force to bring the young men together into Christian fellowship. They foresaw the great opportunity to mold Christian characters out of the young men who came to us yearly. It stands for that which is best m student life. Its purpose is to lead young men into fellowship with Christ and into Christian service— a greater mission is unknown. To further this interest weekly religious meetings are held every Thursday evening. Here every one is free to express his moral sentiments. Usually a student or a member of the Faculty has charge of the meetmg, but at other times we have visiting speakers. Besides these meetings the Y. M. C. A., in conjunction with the Y. W. C. A., directs chapel exercises every Sunday morning at Memorial Hall. After these exercises Bible classes are conducted by students and members of the Faculty. Moreover the Association arranges Mission Classes and seeks to enlighten students in mission work. Again the associations together direct the social life at the College. In September we entertained the North Carolina Student Conference, to which more than one hundred delegates came from the various colleges and secondary schools in the State. The effect of the Y. M. C. A. in the last few years in cultivating Christian fellowship among our young men has warranted the hearty support it has been given by all men of the College. Y. W. C. A. It is a fact unique in the history of our organization, and one of which we are proud, that every girl on the campus is a member of the Young Women ' s Christian Association. This Jubilee year, with its hasty look backwards through l fty years of successful endeavor, through twelve years of local existence, has meant great things to some of us. Our attention has been called to great national workers, also to girls from our own college who. after having left school, have contributed to other communities the benefits of their altruism and have made the heart of Alma Mater swell with pride to claim them as her daughters. We are conscious of a new sense of responsibility when we realize that the duty now devolves upon us. not only to bear up the standard so nobly set by those who have gone before, but to reach higher, with a view of greater achievements as becomes our greater advantages. Our tasks seem very hard while our strength seems very small, but let us take courage, keeping in our hearts this saying of the Apostle Paul, 1 can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Biblical Seminar With the twofold purpose of developing a closer fellowship among the young men who are religiously inclined and training them in active Christian work, the Biblical Seminar was organized in 1910, and has since been very beneficial to its members. The bi-weekly meetings are devoted to a systematic s:udy of problems which are today facing the church. This year ' s work has been a careful study of the Negro Problem. Present Forces in Negro Progress. by Dr. W. D. Weatherford. has been the basis of the work. Last year the time was devoted to the study of Social Service. The Seminar also serves as a channel through which the mem- bers of the Y. M. C. A. conduct religious work in the community. SCIENCE CLUB The Joseph Moore Science Club was organized in 1906. Its object, according to the Constitution, was to discuss topics of general interest to the teachers and students of the science departments of the college and to cultivate a scientific spirit in this institution. The name was chosen in honor of Prof. Joseph Moore, for many years the head of the Department of Natural Sciences. Since its organization the club has had an increasingly successful career and has been responsible for a steadily growing interest in scientific matters. In the fall a general topic is decided upon, which serves as a basis for the programs during the year. The topics taken up have included Heredity. Bacteriology. Dar- winianism. Modern Chemical Theories, and the Chemistry of Plant and Animal Foods. The subject for 1914-15 was Ionization and was taken up successively in reference to liquids, gases and radio-activity. The programs for 1915-16 have centered around the question of Public Health. The Milk Supply, The Water Supply. Housing Conditions. Pure Food, and Ventilation were some of the problems discussed. Many men in other institutions, prominent in scientific matters, have given lectures. The last of these to be secured by the club was Dr. Charles H. Herty. President of the American Chemical Society and head of the Department of Chemistry in the University of North Carolina, who spoke on Cotton, Chemistry and the European War.

The Guilford College Literary Club The Literary Club was organized in the year 1907. Its object is to promote a broader and deeper literary culture in its members and to cultivate a literary spirit in the college. Besides the usual officers there are two committees appointed at the opening of the college year by the newly elected President — the Program and the Executive. The membership of the club is confined to the Faculty and such other persons as the Executive Committee, after careful investigation, may recommend as being capable and willing to do the grade of work which the club requires. The club takes up each year a department of literature of a certain people, studies this department his- torically, scientifically. comparati ely. as well as from a literary point of ' iew. Last year it was decided to go back to the fountain source of all departments of literature — the Greek, and de ote a year of work to its earliest contribution, the Epic. This was done with very much interest and profit. This year the club has been delighted and charmed in its study of the Greek Drama, the first-born of the Epic. And still the wonder grows, how any one can have a proper understanding or appreciation of the Epic or the Drama in our own language without having made a careful study of these two departments in the Greek. So keen has been the interest in the work this year that no member has. as yet. tailed to do the work assigned, and at each meeting one may hear the remark. This is the best yet. ■■! a wtwmwsMsttesrsfffeKt il!i|il!pii;i!i|i 111! lilllf !i!ii!{!i!i!i ' ' liPSl!!!! THE Q.UAjhCIELR, The Music Department is in charge of Miss Papworth, piano, and Miss White, voice. The aim of the department this year is to familiarize the students with the works, both instrumental and vocal, of the great composers. As this can best be accomplished by the actual practice and performance of these works, a recital is given every Monday, at 4 p. m., at which the students play and sing the se- lections they have memorized. A public program including these selections was given December 1 5. Ensemble work, con- sisting of four- and eight-handed arrange- ments of the classics, besides vocal, is given at public performances. The free choral society, which is in- tended to benefit the student body, has a membership of over fifty; it has taken part in the recitals, and, as a special chapel exercise, sang the Gloria from Mozart ' s Twelfth Mass. The Cantata, Gaul ' s Holy City, is in preparation to sing with Prof. Wade Brown ' s chorus at the State Normal College in Greensboro, March l . The sight-singing class, also free, is to aid students to fit themselves for chorus sing- ing as well as to prepare for public school music teaching. A program of vocal and instrumental music was given November 6. It consisted of solos by Miss Papworth, Miss White, Prof. Moore, Gertrude Hobbs and Fowell Mendenhall; besides the mixed chorus, separate numbers were given by the men and women. On December 18, a student ' s recital was held, followed by a Christmas service. Sev- eral well-known carols were sung. Prof. Moore sang The Star of Bethlehem. Other solos were sung by Miss White, Messrs Coggins, Mendenhall and Fitzgerald. Henry Clay Literary Society Members Anderson T. D- Blaylock. F. R Bondurant. R. Budd D, Budd, H. Carroll. E. B Conner.

Dkau Sir: — I wish to thank you tor your letter enclosing check for $5,000 in settlement of my EnJowment Policy No. 23794 in your company. Upon looking over the net cost of this policy I And that from this stand- point the policy has been very satisfac- tory. During the past thirty-one years 1 have paid the company $4,402 in pre- miums, and have received in cash divi- dends $1,067.24. making the net cost to me $3,334.76. From this you will see that I received protection to the extent of $,5,000 for thirty-one years and a check for $5,000 at the end of that period for an outlay of only $3,334.76. Not only has this policy been satis- factory from the net cost point of view, but in this connection I wish to say a word concerning this form of insur- ance. This policy, which has given me protection for $5,000 for the past thirty-one years, has been paid for dur- ing those years when I could best afford to pay for it, and now the face of the policy is paid me in cash to pro- vide for me in my declining years in case I need it. In conclusion. I wish to state that I have on numerous occasions recom- mended your company to prospective insurers, and shall continue to do so when the occasion permits, for I think that in providing insurance and old- age benefits it has not been equaled or surpassed by any American company. Very truly yours. (Signed) Tiiom.vs . kwi.ix Guillc.rd Ciillcge. N. C. February 2 t, mt The Office of J. ELWOOD COX, rirsidenl COMMERCIAL NATIONAL BANK, Hi«h Point N. C. November 20, 1916. .Mi:.
