THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VII.
QUAKERS PILE UP SCORE ON
LUTHERANS
Slow Game. Many Errors
In the slowest and worst played
game seen here in years Guilford
won her second game of the season
from Lenoir college, April sth. The
final count showed the score to be
14-5. The game was a good contrast
to the one played in Greensboro on
Easter Monday and at times brought
back memories of when basketball
was played in cornfields where the
score was supposed to run up in
the twenties.
Lenoir took first bat and started
the game off with a run in the first
game. . Rudisill first up was given
free transportation to first and was
only* prevented from scoring later
when Newlin's long throw from left
field caught him at home plate.
Mackie who had sent a hot drive
by Mc-Bane, scored the first run
when Deaton sent a nice single over
second base.
Guilford failed to reach first in
this inning. The first two men
up fanned, had the third flew out
to center field.
Second Inning. Lenoir managed
to send a man as far as second but
left him stranded there. The Qua
ker lads then came to bat and de
cided to cooperate with the working
force in wearing the grass off the
diamond. By "Slapping" out five
hits and taking advantage of multi
tudinous errors on Lenoir's part they
succeeded in going around ten times
and left the ring bare of all but
tracks.
Third inning—no score, no excite
ment.
Fourth inning—McAlister and
Boggs for Lenoir, both singled. Cur
ly grounded out to first and then
Miller drew a pass filling the paces.
Bolick sent a line drive to Mcßane
for the second out. Gilbert then
connected with a good one and sail
ed it far enough to enable him to
count three sacks and bring in three
runs. He scored later on Rudisill's
single.
From this time on Lenoir scored
no more although they had a man on
third at two different times.
Guilford in the remaining four
times at bat scored once in each in-

ZATASIAN ORATORICAL
Miss Eva Holder '24 Wins.
"The Farmers Wife"
The Zatasian Literary Society
held thirteenth annual oratorical
contest in Memorial Hall on Satur
day evening. April 9th.
The variety of subjects which
were presented held the interest of
the audience throughout the program.
The excellent manner in which the
speakers delivered their orations
reflects the splendid work which
the Zatasians are doing.
Miss Holder's oration, "The Far
mer's \\ ife" showed the situation as
it exists on the average farm in
America, and that better conditions
must be brought about if the farm
woman is to have freedom from the
ceaseless toil which has been her
lot from time immemorial. It is
only to be another job added to her
full program to get it, but it must
eventually come about as one more
step in the progress of the American
home.
The fact that the United States
must intervene in Mexico, not with
arms, ammunition, and soldiers, but
with a band of teachers, if Mexico
i s to to set up a stable government
out of the present state of strife,
was clearly presented. The need and
value cf physical education in our
high schools, and the obligator lying 1
upon each individual to climb, rather
than to rely upon chance, were em
phasized. Honorable mention was
made of "Our Educational Outlook,''
which set forth so clearly the fact
that North Carolina cannot advance
to a higher rank in education until
she shall have first provided ample
facilities for boys and girls in in
stitutions of higher leai-ning, for
these will be the teachers of tomor
row.
The musical numbers were well
rendered.

are adding to their urograms, visits
to some surrounding High Schools.
On Friday Professor Newlin and

schools in Chatam county, Siler City,
Mount Vernon Springs, Bonlee and
Goldston. They report a very inter
esting trip. Next Tuesday, Profess
er Balderston will visit Liberty High
School, while Doctor Hobbs will go
to Burlington on Wednesday. These
trips are being made in the interest
of the college.
JUNIORS BANQUET SENIORS
Die O'Henry Hotel the Scene of the
Annual Banquet.
The annual banquet given by the
Junior class in honor of the grad
uating class took place on Wednes
day evening. April 6, at the O. Henry
Hotel in Greensboro. This event is
always looked forward to by each
succeeding class with great anticipa
tion, but the class of '2l feel es
pecially honored this year because
this longed and wished for event was
given at the O'Henry Hotel.
Full of curiosity and emotion a
happy group of Seniors left the
college on Wednesday evening and
upon arriving at the hotel were taken
to their respective rooms where
they awaited the appointed hour to
meet their hosts.
At seven o'clock the Seniors were
ushered to the lobby on the first
floor where they met the Juniors
and faculty guests.
After a few minutes of conversa
tion, and exchange of greetings that
served to put every one in the right
frame of mind for what was to
follow, the Seniors and Faculty
guests were escorted to the banquet
hall. The banquet was very beau
tiful, being tastefully arranged in
the balcony overlooking the main
dining floor of the hotel. In center
of the table was placed a raised
square (seemingly) covers, i with
green grass. In the center of the
square were placed two large dolls,
one dressed in white, the other in a
Senior cap and gown—Over these
two dolls was raised a beautiful urn
i rella—all symbolizing the month of
April.
Nominal place cards marked with
a tiny umbrella showed each one
his place at the festive board. The
O'Henry orchestra furnished music
for the evening. A delicious five
course menu was then served as
given below.
Chicken Gumbo Celery Hearts
Saltines Olives
Rare Steaks
String Beans Creamed Mushrooms
Rolls Butter
Tomato and Lettuce Salad
Ice Cream Cake
Coffee
The toastmaster for the even
ing was Gladstone Hodgin who an
nounced the toasts—using his gen
uine wit, with famous quotations
from great writers. Ruth Outland
'22 responded to "Clouds and Show
ei's' in her usually interesting
way. "Seniors and Mud" as re
sponded to by Algie Newlin "21 was
amusing as well as interesting.
President Binford as the head of
the faculty guests answered to the
toast. "Rainbows and Guilford," and
proved in a very logical way that
the toast should have been worded,
"Guilford Rains Beaux." Then he told
how the lives of Guilford graduates
reflect the spirit of the college in
the same way that the various colors
of the rainbow are reflected.
"Sunshine and Flowers," as re
sponded to by Marjorie Williams '2l
was especially beautiful.
"Umbrellas" by Curtis Newlin '22
closed the toasts. In this speech
Mr. Newlin compared the umbrella
to a college education. The first

THE ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL
CONTESTS
Declamation. Track, and Basket Ball.
Medals and Cups to Be Awarded
Winners.
Saturday, April 23, promises to
be an interesting day for Guilford
students as well as for the lai'ge
number of High students
from various schools of the State,
who will be on the campus at that
time to take part in the various
contests which will be held.
PlansS for these contests have
been worked out by the faculty com
mittee and a committee composed
of Professor L. Lea White, chairman
of the faculty committee, and a rep
resentative from each of the four
literai'y societies.
A few years ago Guilford origi
nated the idea of a state high school
declamation and recitation contest
and since that time has held annu
ally these contests.
The contests this year promise to
be even more interesting than usual,
since a larger number of contest
ants have entered. The preliminary
contests will be held Saturday morn
ing and the finals will be held Sat
urday evening in Memorial Hall.
In order that a greater number
of students might be present at that
time, the committees have arranged
also to hold an inter high school
track meet, which heretofore has not
been held. Approximately six schools
iiavu entered thi.- m .et which will
be held Saturday morning at 10
o'clock. A silver cup will be award
ed to the school winning the meet.
Also at this time there will be a
girls* basket ball contest. Several
schools have arranged to send teams
to participate in this part of the
day s program. The preliminaries
will be played off Saturday morning
and the two winning teams will
play for the final honors Saturday
afternoon. A trophy cup will also
be awarded the winning team by the
Young Women's Athletic Association
of the college.
All contestants will be guests of
the college at that time, and a
reception will be given in their honor
by the social committees of the
two Christian Associations, after
the contest Saturday evening.
E. C. SAGE TO VISIT GUILFORD.
Mr. E. C. Sage, a member of the
General Board of Education of New
York City which has charge of the
Rockefeller foundation, will visit
Guilford in the near future, in order
to study its standard and financial
condition.
the second year the ribs, the third
year the cover and the fourth year
adds the finishing touches, while
the diploma serves as the small
catch which holds up the cover.
"Hail, Dear Old Guilford"' was then
sung by the united classes after
which all came back to the lobby,
where a very pleasant hour was
spent in mingled conversation.
This occasion wil doubtless be a
cherished memory of the members of
the class of '2l.
Every Senior expressed his sincere
appreciation of the pleasant evening
to the members of the Junior class.
Those who were present at the oc
casion can have no doubt that every
one had a genuine good time.
