Y. W. C. A. CLOSES
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Pretty Ceremonies at Installation of
New Officers.
Last Thursday evening a most
beautiful and impressive initiation
service ushered in the officers and
cabinet memaers of the Y. W. C. A.
for the coming year. There was an
element of sadness in the displace
ment of those who for so long have
borne the responsibility of the Asso
ciation work, and as the girls of the
class of 'l7 rendered final reports of
their official service, which is now
a part of the history of our local
Association, a feeling of genuine re
gret at their departure struggled
with a feeling of true thankfulness
for the influence and helpfulness of
their comradeship.
In the first part of th 6 service each
member of last year's cabinet gave a

TURES CONTESTS.
The Haverfortl Game.
In the first game 011 the local dia
mond, and the second contest with
Haverford, on Monday, Guilford won
from the Quaker rivals by the score
of 7 to 1. The affray was character
ized by steady and consistent pitch
ing and erratic fielding.
Zachary held the Pennsylvania
Quakers to two hits, and struck out
eight in eight frames. Buz'by also
twirled a good game, but was given
poor support by his team-mates. He
yielded six hits and sent five hitters
to the bench with a saddened face.
Guilford began the game by scor
ing in the first frame, when Garner
reached the initial sack on an error
by Hayes, was advanced on a field
er's choice, and scored on a wild
pitch. Six more tallies were added
—two in each the fourth, fifth and
sixth innings. The couple in the
fourth /being annexed by a series of
errors and wild pitches. The pair in
the fifth being secured on a single
coupled with errors, while the final
couplet was secured on a combina
tion of three singles in rapid succes
sion.
Newlin connected with a fast one
in the seventh round for a three sack
er to deep center, ibut was thrown out
at the plate in an attempt to stretch
it into a homer.
Aside from the splendid twirling
of Zachary, Marlette featured the
game with the "willow" by driving
out two singles and a double in five
trips to the plate.
Haverford obtained her lone tally
in the seventh frame on Cochran's
Texas leaguers, an error and a bingle
by Gilmore.

The Lenoir Game.
In a game frought with erratic
playing Guilford defeated Lenoir
College by a score of 7 to 0 in the
third game of the season, last Wed
nesday afternoon.
The game, at first, began to look
like a succession of strikeouts. Both
pitchers were working in good style.
Guilford -began her scoring in the
first frame, when Massey drove a
clean one to center for a single, went
to second on errors, stole third and
scored on a wild throw.
Marlette in the same inning was
walked, went to second on an error,
came to third on a wild pitch and
home on another error.
In the fourth, H. Fritz, for the
visitors made a beautiful shoe-string
stab in center. Plyler, the pitcher
for the Lutherans, was pitching a
consistent game all the while, but
had ragged support.
iGuilford resumed the run making
in the fifth. Reddick went to first
Dn a clean drive to left. Ballinger
looked four bad ones over and walk
ed thereby advancing Reddick to
second. An error put Garner on first
thus chucking the bags with runners.
At this juncture Massey came
forth with a smashing two-bagger to
center, scoring Ballinger and Reddick
and putting Garner on third". Mar
lette next up, reached first on an er
ror, again filing the sacks. It was
then that Duncan produced a triple
which scored the three men, but he
was called out for failing to toe sec
ond. The balance of the game was
very mediocre, nothing exciting oc
curing.
The locals played errorless ball,
fielding cleanly and fast. Massey
featured with the "willow," securing
two hits out of four trips to the
plate. Murehinson, who had been
hurling a great game, was relieved
by Finch in the sixth and he main
tained the high standard of box
work wheih has characterized Guil
ford's pitchers this season.

NUMBER 25
Websterians
and Philomatheans
Attend Senate
lOvritiiiK Filibuster Staged at Suc
cessful Reception.
The time was Friday evening,
March 30th; the place was the U. S.
Senate chamber; the persons were
members of the Philomathean and
Websterian Literary Societies; the
occasion was the 64th session of Con
gress assembled for the considera
tion of the Armed Neutrality Bill.
But thereby does not hang the tale.
In truth this story spoils in the tell
ing, for who having been transplant
ed by a magic wand to a Senate
chamber, can tell you, who were not
under that spell, what really hap
pened?
To find themselves suddenly in the
presence of senatorial oratory and
governmental proceedings was quite
startling to modest North Carolina
maidens of secluded life who have
not yet the suffrage bee in their bon
nets, but to find there Senators La
Follette and Stone actually engaged
in a filibuster was really overwhelm
ing.
The first speech was made by Sen
ator Owen, who strongly resembled
our own famous orator, Ralph Yow.
This speech was so convincing in its
argument that every spectator felt
that there was no ground for con
tention that we should not be armed
always and at all times against in
vaders. Indeed so forceful was his
speech and that of his colleague,
Senator Overman, whom the Philo
matheans thot strikingly like Robert
Frazier, that they one and all be
came convinced of the necessity of
certain resolutions in favor of pro
tection to be attached to the bill un
der consideration.
Imagine the amazement when
Senator Stone rose to oppose the
rash measures for which this bill pro
vided. His style of humor so much
resembled Joe Reddick's own inimit
able brand that one might have thot
it to be Joe himself. As his speech,
which included a plea for the strict
observance of George Washington's
birthday (?) and a demand for pro
tection against Cupid's darts when
directed against Uncle Sam's loyal
subjects, proceeded, the Senate grew
quite restless. It became very evi
dent that he meant to draw out his
words in linked argument until the
clock should sound the hour of 12
—the hour of final adjournment. At
length he was overcome by the very
intensity of his zeal and despite the
loud and clamorous efforts of his op
ponents to gain the floor his support
er Senator La Follette, whose dignity
could be compared only to that of
Ira Hinshaw, succeeded in being rec
ognized by Vice-President Henry
Beeson "Marshall." Thereupon en
sued such a storm as has seldom
been witnessed, even by the prison
type of suffragettes. Distracted
pages flew hither and thither, feet
and chairs mixed violently and gen
eral disorder reigned. But as the
clock struck 12 the shouts and de
