Score by innings: R. Seniors 100 000 000—1 Sophomores 201 021 200 —8 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.

Smith represented the Sophomores. The first four serves resulted in 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.

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- and YVebsterian Literary 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. (4) That we believe from the in 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. (6) That he has rendered more liberal aid to the Literary Socie ties than any other member of the Faculty. (7) That he has done more for athletics during the season just passed than any other member of the Faculty. (8) That we feel that in the fail ure to re-elect Dr. C. O. Meredith and Prof. J. B. Woosley Guilford College sustains a great 'oss. (9) That we protest against the way in which these men have been treated by Dr. Thomas Newlin, President of Guilford College, and by the Board of Trustees of said college. (10) That we do not consider ourselves under any obligations to render further support to the col lege until full and satisfactory ex planation has been given. (11) That we emphatically deny the statement made by Dr. Newlin to the effect that whoever reached the student body first would get their support.

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.
