h p i n m A GYM FOR MEN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Governor of the athletic cycle for men at Guilford Is the M. A. A., which works with the Faculty Committee on Athletics. Prin- cipals of the latter were Coach Block Smith, adviser, and — in the absence of Dr. Carlyle Shepard this year — Dr. Purdom, Faculty Man- ager. While the association itself is made up of two representatives from each athletic team — the captain and manager-elect. These two groups, students and faculty members, compose the Athletic Council, actual peak of the sports pyramid. All sports activity of men is regulated by it. The Council with its more active branch, M. A. A., attempts to bring about a wider participation In athletics. Through encouragement of intramural play as well as intercollegiate. Interest in sports has been generally heightened. With the new gymnasium, its modern facilities, the future for athletics on campus seems more promis- ing. Officers were Bill Grlce, President; Buck hiines, Vice-President: and Dave Parker, Sec- retary-Treasurer. pl 11 J : I ! SI;

GUILFORD FROM THE PRESIDENT This has been a year of progress at Guilford College, the sort of progress which is plainly evident to every eye — visible and tangible. The old gymnasium is gone; that single scarred room which served too long has been re- placed by a beautiful building, whose chain- dropped lamp between the columns lights the way to another center of Guilford life — physical, cultural, and intellectual. With the old gymnasium and another build- ing removed, the new gymnasium placed be- yond the road, and the three new residences set far back against the woods to the north- east, the campus seems larger and more lovely. All this Is the evidence of plans made through days and nights of deep concern and followed carefully and persistently In the months of building. This is that visible which matures from the invisible progress so deeply set within all of Guilford ' s life. What we see today Is the flowering, the fulfillment; yet before this there were the Ideals, the clear vision, the enthusiastic cooperation, of which this visible progress Is the Issue. We may not build again soon, but so long as these qualities are present within the college, its future Is assured. Progress need not to be realized; yet we rejoice sincerely In Its present manifestation. oU (Z. 97 Lij
