game. The last four games of the
season were played while on a trip
to South Carolina.
The first contest took place on-
May Ist with Belmont College in

held t'he Catholics to two lone hits
and had nineteen strike outs to his
credit. McGillicuddy, who opposed
Murchison, allowed six hits and fan
ned sevem.

the Quaker southpaw, the only fea
tures were the fast fielding of both
teams and the heavy hitting of Mar

THE V. YV. C. A. CABINET
CAMPS AT THE OAKS
The Y. W. C. A. cabinet took its
annual camping trip to "The Oaks"
last Friday and Saturday, having in
vited as its guests the o'ld cabinet.
Mrs. M. iL. Spray and Miss Evelyn
White were the chaperons and they
added much to the enjoyment of the
trip.
The party left Guilford in a wagon
Friday afternoon at 4:15, and reach
ed "The Oaks," which is situated
near Jamestown, at 6 'o'clock. A
large camp fire was started and soon
supper was ready for the hungry
crowd of .girls. Despite the fact that
they knew sleep ,was not for them,
some drank a quart of coffee and a
pint of tea.
After supper was over the girls
gathered around the camp fire, sang
old plantation and Guilford songs
and told stories until 11 o'clock,
when it was decided that bedtime
had arrived. Some who were less
afraid of rats and ghosts, than otf
dogs and whip-poor-wills, went in
side the house to sleep, part ventur
ed as far as the porch and spent a
wakeful night in hammocks, but the
more bold s'lept in the open by the
fire. The night finally passed and
fortun'ately no one was carried off by
the rats or dogs, tho both paid their
respects.
Breakfast over the girls started off
to explore the country. Some went
to the river, others to the church,
while part stayed by the fire. Dinner
time came all too soon, for it meant
that the time was drawing near to
leave that quiet spot. Each girl com
menced gathering up her belongings
and the wagon came at 3:15.
Every one seemed to have a good

SENIOR FESTIVITIES
Career of 'l7 Ending' in a Whirl of
Gaiety.
When the dogwood begins to
bloom in the spring, every Senior be
gins to use both eyes, both ears, and
then wait patiently. This year most
of the flowers were gone, but the
leaves were prettier than ever before.
Thursday afternoon, May 3, the
lady faculty members and Miss Ben
bow delightfully entertained the
members of the Senior class. The
balcony at Pounders Hall was trans
formed into Fairyland. Dogwood,
oak leaves, flags, Japanese lanterns
and cozy seats with sofa pillows cer
tainly had been under the spell of
some good fairy's wand.
Misses Edwards, Aver, White and
Gainey served delicious cream and
cake, coffee, with an unheard of
abundance of whipped cream and
marguerites.
About 10:15 o'clock the guests re
luctantly departed. Every Senior
went away thinking Miss Louise,
Miss Benbow and all the others -most
charming hostesses.
The ninth of May! The date has
been securely fixed in that haven of
all past events known to college stu
dents as history. The memory which
the date connotes has kept the minds
of Seniors filled with pleasant
thoughts for the last few days and ;t
really makes physics, mathematics
and history more interesting.
Wednesday morning, May 9, each
•Senior received an invitation, not
written, not spoken, but more suited

AT FORT OGLETHORPE.
Three Guilford men, Prof. Woos
ley, J. P. Garner and E. B. Carroll
passed the examination for entrance
to the officers' training camp at Fort
Oglethorpe. Guilford can well afford
to take pride in her representative's
and can feel assured that they will
assist in upholding the noble record
of North Carolina in other wars.
ZACHARY ELECTED CAPTAIN.
At a recent 'meeting of the base
ball team, J. Thompson Zacliary, of
Snow Camp, N. C., was elected cap

knowledge of inside baseball will
make him well able to lead Guilford
to future victories.
