which a golden moon beamed be
nevolently. Morning glories climbed

Flora Binder, president; and Sarah
McKellar, secretary.
Immediately following the eiei,
tions, the members of the club and
visitors who were present—for. con
trary to custom, the meeting was
an o])en one—adjourned to the His
torical Museum on the corner of
M;iin and Academy Streets, and
made a trip of investigation under
the capable direction of Mr. Will
Pfohl, secretary of the \\’achovia
Historical Society.
On the first floor are found vari
ous relics of the Salem of former
days-- -a flight of .«iteps belonging to
the first house; the first fire engine,
with^ all its banners, and the bright
red jackets of the volunteer firemen;
an gld .stage coach; and numerous
implements used in hou.sehold man-
.-mxrh ,.„ndlo moi.Ua, ,,
sausage cutter, churns, and various
ty])es of lamps and oil burners. In
the hallway is the large sign used
in front of the first gun .shop, and
any numbers of guns, ranging from
small pistols to long rifles.
Among the outstanding features
on the second floor are portraits be
longing to the gallery of a .Mr. Wel
fare, early resident and painter. In
addition one sees photographs,
■sketches, and maps of early build
ings in Salem, prominent among
which is the Home Moravian
Church, and the Principals’ house,
now designated as the office build
ing. There arc also photographs of
the men who have served in the ca
pacity of minister in the Home
Church, and a large painting which
repre.sents the trial of John Hus.
It is on the third floor, however,
that the student of history fairly
revels in all sorts of historical tras-
ures. There are relics from China,
Japan, Europe, and the Indian
tribes of North America; scrap
books containing old notices, deeds,
ballots, etc.; ancient atlases in which
the world is scarcely to be recog
nized; book-cases containing dog
eared, yellow-paged volumes, eoy-
ered with the dust of vcars; pianos
and melodeons, one of which was
played for George Washington dur
ing his visit here in 1791; and, most
interesting of all, framed documents
such as tiie Magna Carta, Governor
Fryon s pardon to certain persons
who had taken part in the Battle of
Alamance, a letter from Cornwallis,
and the Mecklenburg Declaration of
Independence.

relay racing, running high and run
ning broad jump. Promptly at
on upper back campus, the Acil
emy baseball teams began a gf/l
waged between two teams compo.;{,
on the one hand, of members o^ the
eleventh, ninth, and seventh grades;
and, on the other, of members of
the tenth, eighth and sixth grades.
The score at the close was ten to
six in favor of the eleventh, ninth,
jyid sixth. In the track meet which
followed, .Vnita Dunlap and Vir
ginia Harris were ahead, Virginia
gaming in the running broad jump
with a record of twelve feet.
College relay races were a new
feature, introduced bv Mi.ss .lack-son
during the past year, and it was
the Junior-Frcshman team which
c.irried away the honors here.
Alary Wilder won out in tlie run
ning high jump, with three feet and
eleven inches, while Ella Raper

The baseball diamond was again
the center of attraction—this time
as a stage for college actors. The
Scnior-So])bomore team was com
posed as follows: Captain. Doro
thy Dorough; Rachel Davis, first
baseman; Ruth Brown, third base
man; May Hairston, short stop;
Elizabeth Shaw, right fielder; Sarah
McKellar. left forward; .Myrtle
^ .'ilentine, center fielder; and Mar
garet Wellons, catcher. The Junior-
Frcshman team had for a captain,
1 oily Hawkins, and other stars w'cre
•lean .Abell, Louise Woodard, Doro
thy Siewers, Ella Raper, Ruth
Pfohl, Doris Eddie, Ruth Evans,
Sophia Hall, and Helen Griffin. It
seemed a lucky day for the latter
team and they emerged again tri
umphant with a score of thirteen to
eight in their favor.
Supper on the hill was the end
of a ])crfect Field Day, and it was
almost time for the moon to appear
when the athletic fans and .stars
came down the hill to resume their
more prosaic routine.
