THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME 11.
JUNIOR-SENIOR
BANQUET
One of the greatest events of the
year occurred at New Garden
Hall last Wednesday night, when
the Junior class gave a banquet in
honor of the Senior class.
The Seniors were met at the
door by the Juniors and ushered
into the dining hall, where they
gazed upon a scene of beauty.
The room was decorated in red
and black, these being the Senior
colors. The tables were arranged
in the shape of .1 Roman cross and
suspending from the ceiling, just
over the middle of the table was
the number "1(5," formed from
electric lights which had been col
ored red. A basket tilled with red
carnations was hanging from
these lights and underneath this
was a centerpiece of white sweet
peas. Red candles were also used
on the tables, which lent much to
the decoration. At each place was
found a beautiful place card and
extending from these to the lights
were black and red ribbons.
After the welcome by the toast
master, Mr. F. IT. Mendenhall, the
following menu was served :
Halves of grapefruit with cherries
Consomme
Broiled chicken Cranberry sauce
Fresh tomatoes Mashed potatoes
Saltines Olives Waldorf Salad
Ice cream Cake
Coffee Mints
Betweent he courses the follow
ing toasts were given by the Jun
iors to the Seniors responded:
F. 11. Mendenhall —"Welcome"
—Harrell Budd.
Ruth Coble —Your Heritage to
l T s—C. R. Hinshaw.
R. L. Newlin—Our Relationship
—Floy Lassiter.
Grace Taylor--New Year—Mil
ton Mason.
E. B. Carroll—Our Debt to
Gui 1 ford—Carolyn Yates.
Hazel Armstrong—Senior As
trology—T. (i. Perry.
These toasts showed the hither
to apparently dormant ability and
wit of the different members of
the two clases and of the various
and wonderful ways in which
]>eace has been obtained. We had
the comparison of some of the
young men with different planets
and learned that there were some
real stars in our midst. To say
the least, these speeches were
thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
In addition to the above toasts,

DECLAMATION
CONTEST
Miss Elizabeth Brooks, of Ore Hill,
Winner.
Some time ago it was arranged
that two declamation contests
should be held here this spring un
der the auspices of the four liter
ary societies. These were to be
made up of several representatives
from various high schools in this
and surrounding counties; the
contestants to be chosen as the re
spective high schools should deem
tit.
The tirst of these —a girls' con
test —under charge of the Zatasian
and I'hiloniatliean literary socie
ties took place on the evening of
April 1, 1!)1(>. Each of the speak
ers acquitted herself very credit
ably, and reflected much honor
upon the high school which she
represented.
Although the entire six contest
ants did exceedingly well, the
judges decided that the medal, a
handsomely mounted Guilford
seal, should be given to Miss Eliza
beth Brooks from Ore Hill high
school. This medal is the gift of
the two girls' societies already
mentioned. It was very cleverly
presented by Mr. Joseph M. l'ur
die.
Immediately following the con
test, an informal reception was
tendered the visiting girls in the
Founder's society halls. Punch
and wafers were served, and
every one spent the remainder of
the evening very pleasantly in
chatting and getting acquainted
generally.
On April Bth another contest for
young men of neighboring coun
ties, will be given under the man
agement of the Websterian and
the Henry Clay Literary Societies.
The program of the April Ist
contest follows below:

ATHLETICS
GUILFORD WINS FROM LENOIR
BUT LOSES TO WAKE FOREST,
Guilford won her third succes
sive baseball game last Wednes
day afternoon when we easily de
feated the team representing Len
oir College in a slow disintcrest
ing game by a score of five to two.
The weather was too cold and
cloudy for the game to be filled
with pep and fighting spirit.
Neither team showed much life
and superior ball playing. The
boys from the Lutheran College at
Hickory, however, played a rather
consistent game getting three hits
and two runs. They worked two
pitchers, but neither of them was
able to keep the Guilford boys
from pounding the sphere when it
came over the plate.' Our boys
got six hits and five runs.
This was the tirst game in which
Finch pitched throughout. He re
placed Worth in the closing in
nings of the Elon game; but in
tliis he had it all to himself and
as a result he fanned fourteen of
the Lenoir men. Notwithstand
ing the disagreeableness of the
weather he pitched a good, heady
game. Futrell behind the bat was
the great mainstay of Finch's
pitching and of (he outcome of the
whole game. One of the main fea
tures of the game was Arm
strong's line drive into the left
field for three bases. Captain
Short though led the hitting by
getting two hits out of three times
up. Riddick, Futrell and Royal
each got one hit. The men in the
field did reasonably Well consider
ing the cold, cloudy weather.
Miller and Miller did the twirl
ing for the Lutheran boys. The
first Miller worked for four in
nings, striking out six men and
allowing only three hits. The
second pitcher completed the work
for the Lenoir boys, allowing only
three more hits and striking out
four men. They began their scor
ing in the first inning when they
were, by some costly fumbling on
the part of the Guilford boys, able
to send a man across the plate of
registration. However they were
not able until the eighth inning to
add another run to the first. My
two hits they were enabled to send
their last man safely across the
home plate.
The line-up follows:
Guilford. AIL R. H. F„

NUMBER 25
Y. W. C. A.
The V. \V. \ A. is always glad
to welcome visitors who have a
word of cheer and helpfulness to
offer at our Thursday evening
meetings, consequently, the pres
ence of Mrs. and Miss Tibbet at
last week's service was very much
appreciated. Devotional exercises
were conducted by Mrs. Tibbet
after which Miss Tibbet gave a
brief survey of Iter travels in Lat
in American countries. An inter-
esting review of two mission con
ferences which she had attended
claimed part of she speaker's time.
In speaking of the mission ques
tion Miss Tibhet! said the various
denominations are beginning to
realize that co-operation is imper
ative in the foreign lield. It is a
never ending source of wonder to
people who lo not understand
that we are one as Christians and
mail)/ being Baptists, Presbyte
rians, Methodists, etc. .Miss Tilt
bet said further •'hat very soon in
Cuba the native* will be convert
ed into the Kvaneglieal Christian
Church and that denominational
adherence will be soon be a consid-
oration of minor importance.
Speaking; of the work in South
America, Miss Tibbett said only
recently have we begun to realize
what a wonderful country is south
of us; how wonderfully rich the
country is and how interesting its
people are. 11 is a source of great
shame to us too to realize that so
few of even the most thoroughly
educated people of South America
are Christians. The Catholic
church there seems to be almost
entirely devoid of the core of re
ligion and contains only the hull
or outward appearances of a
church.
(ioing over to Mexico, Miss Tib
bet gave instances of how natives
are bravely carrying on the work
of spreading the Gospel since the
war has made it impossible for
Americans to proceed further. A
new impetus has been given the
cause of missions in Latin Ameri
ca and it is our privilege and our
duty not only to keep abreast of
the movement but also to iia\e our
share in it.
J. El wood Cox siiul a number of
other folks from High Point were
here for the game last Friday.
Mr. Joseph Cox, of High Point,
was here Sunday.
Miss Alice Riddiek was at the
college Sunday.
