The baseball season here closed
Tuesday, May 2, when Guilford's
team, for the second time this year
defeated the representatives from
the University of South Carolina,

Zachary did the twirling for the
Guilford team and pitched a
steady game, allowing eight well
scattered hits, while Newton for
the visitors was hit hard and he
was given ragged support by his
team-mates.
The main feature of the game
was the hitting of Garner, Guil
ford's big right fielder, who se
cured four hits and one pass out
of five trips to the plate. Horton
led the hitting for the visitors, get
ting two hits out of four times up.

FRESHMEN VS. SOPHOMORES.
Monday afternoon the Fresh
men and Sophomores opened the
contest for class honor in baseball.
The Fresh men were over-confident
—Worth was in the box. The
Sophomores though less thought
ful of victory, went out determin
ed to exhibit the "Old Soph, fight
ing spirit." Since Worth was not
in his usual good form and receiv
ed little support from his team,
the Sophs, were able to land ten
hits and score eight runs.
Fort moved over the mound
with perfect poise for the Sopho
mores, allowing only four scatter
ed hits and one run.
Score by innings:
Sophomores 011 122 I—B
Freshmen 000 001 o—l0 —1

a love game for the servers, but
the set was captured by the Fresh
men. They took the next set also,
but the Sophs, came back strong
and carried the third. The Fresh
men ended the contest by taking
the fourth. Most of the sets were
won by close scores.

Resolutions of the
Literary SoGities
Guilford College, N. C.,
May 8, 1916.
Since it is generally known at
Guilford College that Dr. C. O.
Meredith, Dean of the College, and
Prof. J. B. Woosley, head of the
Department of History and Eco
nomics, have been, without stated
cause, excluded front the Faculty,
Hen-

Societies of Guilford College in
session do resolve:
(1) That we recognize Dr. C. O.
Meredith as being one of the
strongest men on the Guilford Col
lege Faculty.
(2) That lie is the only one on
the Faculty who has a I'll. D. de
gree.
(3) That he encourages higher
education.

terest which he has shown in the
students and from the efficient
work which he has done on the
campus in the last year, that he
has the interest of Guilford Col
lege at heart.
(5) That we regard Prof. John
B. Woosley as being a very strong
man on the college Faculty.

way in which these men have been
treated by Dr. Thomas Newlin,

NUMBER 28
STUNT SOCIAL
On Friday evening, May 5, the
students and faculty attended the
last, and one of the most enjoyable
socials of the year. Promptly at
G o'clock the entire student body
assembled 011 the campus just in
front of Founder's Ilall, where
supper was served. Immediately
following this we were amused by
stunts given by groups of stu
dents.
The first thing given was "The
Holy City." Here various stu
dents with "melodious" voices
were given a chance to show their
singing ability. We were next
most thoroughly entertained by
"Prof. Peel's Expression Class."
In this Itmous Valentine as Prof.
Peel gave us a good example of
the training received in the class
during the year. The recitations
and declamations given by the
different members were a source
of much amusement. Then follow
ed a "Faculty Meeting," in which
numerous students were discussed
and "faculties" handed out most
freely. The stunts ended with
Tipperary played on a Humanola.
The instrument was in very good
tune with the exception of one or
two notes.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Those who attended the Y. M. C.
A. last Thursday were well repaid
when Prof. Downing gave clear
cut, straightforward tilk on the
two things which every college
man should regard as very essenr
tial in life, truthfulness and work.
He began his discourse by read
ing the second chapter of second
Timothy. He said that the term
is now drawing to a close and we
shall soon be in the famiiinr sur
roundings of home. We shall then
be away from the influences and
restrictions of college and will be
inclined to fall back into the same
rut. Let us keep alive the things
we've learned by regular habits of
study and reading.
In speaking of truthfulness, the
leader said, "One does not neces
sarily have to tell an untruth to
be a liar, but dallying with the
truth in a light way is one form of
lying." In regard to work, we
must not forget how to do it. We
should be ready to do anything
which comes to hand in the way
of service to the community in
which we live. The way to keep
out of mischief is to keep busy.
