Although a fairlv larjTf number were lircscnt. hacktifld rt-cruits Wfrt- appallinfi ' ly scarce. ' I ' lir experienced hacks from last year either did not return to school or were unable to take ])art in athletics. However, the line showed greater promise than it h.id for several seasons. The boys showed interest and were willing to work, but Coach Shepard was rather pessimistic as to the success of the coming season due to the lack of hacktield and reserve material. SKI ' TEMBER (!— Many of the different members of the teaching staff rolled in todax ' . Mrs. Andrews was the first to arrive, having as a close second Mr. Pancoast, who claimed to have had a leisurely triji down from Pennsylvania, averaging only tifty-five miles an hour. Miss Gainev according to local rejiorts rounded the curve leading into the gate at fullv t -n miles .-in hour. The reason for this .astounding conduct must certainly h;i f had to do with the rec-ei ing of Freshmen cheeks .at the due hour. ]?y nightf.ill most of the f.aculty. old and new. h;id .assembled to assist in Freshman week. The intellectu.al caliber of this fellowship of schol.arly men and wcnucn is sug- gested in the following i)icture. The bald headed row rei)resents the old guard, the c.ap.able looking jiersons in the second row were not in Ciuilford before the be- gimiing of tlie twentieth century, .and tiu ' b.ack row is made up of c.allow freshmen. All th - animals api)eared for the picture, luit Mr. .and Mrs. N ' oah did not arrive. [twelve]

A part of this group found their way into the gates of (iuilford. Some tor the first time, others like homing jjigeons returning to the old nest. Guilford was ready to rei ' eive them. Co.il hins were fidl. The rooms in the dormitories liad been serubbed from top to bottom. In faet the whole eam|)us looked spick and span. The old students had some ))leasant surprises. On entering the auditorium of Memorial Hall, they saw that it had been completely renovated. Wandering through King Hall, it was seen that the Domestic Science Dcjiartment had been moved out, and the Economics Department substituted in its ))l.ue. TIk Domestic Science Department was to be found in very much im] roved headcpiarters in the basement of Founders Hall. However, it was very nnieh the same (Iuilford. only dressed up for a new school j ' car. [eleven]
