Each young lady on the program
performed her part creditably and
was in herself an evidence of the
careful and thorough instruction of
the music department of this place.
Miss White's softness of tone was
well suited to the selections she
gave, especially to the last one. The
next selections, given by Miss Wil
liams, were well rendered, the wierd
ness of the Indian melody being par
ticularly appealing to the audience.
The piano selections by Miss Rey
nolds told a careful preparation and
mastery of the pieces played. Miss
Henley by her singing as well as her
expression won the applause of the
audience. Miss Motley and Miss
Merrimon each deserve especial
mention; Miss Motley because of her
clear voice and her ability to put
herself into her singing; Miss Mer
riman because of the skill with
which she managed the piano. In
the last two selections, one by Miss
Harmon and one by Miss Tomlinson,
these ladies lived up to their usual
standard of excellency, both selec
tions being characterized by clear
ness of voice and fullness of tone.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., MARCH 17, 1920
MINSTREL TO BE
GIVEN MARCH 27
"Mist all Johnson, Is Yo'all Done
So0(1 Mali Caroline?"
The stage is all set for the ap
pearance of Mister Johnson and his
gang of coons in Memorial Hall,
March the 27tli. Bones, Rastus,
Sambo and Sugarfoot are not, how
ever, "set" as yet. They are still
abroad in the land and so "par con
sequent" Faculty are speaking in
correct and careful tones to their
classes. Devoted lovers are bending
closer (if such a thing is possible)
to the ear of their divinities, Miss
Benbow is feeding us on fried
chicken and ham, and even the
twins are keeping quiet. All be
cause—-well the goblins'll get you if
you don'twatch out and Sambo, Su
garfoot, Bones and Rastus just
"haint no 'spectur of pussons."
Semdean and his orchestra of
jazzy artists are working on some
new stuff that will just make you
tickle toe (Quaker or no Quaker.)
Ye Olde Tyme Fiddlers from the
State of Randolph—Down where Joe
Reddiclc lives, Oh! You know what
I mean, —are getting out the old
piece of rosin to squeak up the fiddle
and the bow. Bony White and Bob
Bulla are testing out the latest buck
and wing steps from gay Paree.
And, last but not least, Kat Har
mon and her bunch of nightingales,
who have been safely camouflaged
from Keith's circuit for this occasion,
are practicing day and night on the
latest ragtime creations from musi
cal comedy-dom.
Oh, mother, I'm wild 'cause the
minstrel's coming soon.
Write, wire, wireless or telephone
Harry L. Johnson "toot sweet" right
away, and reserve those seats.
They'll cost you a dollar. You know
baseballs are high this year. If you
don't believe it watch Jim Newlin
hit one for a homer.
ANNUAL CLAY ORITORICAL
CONTEST
The Henry Clay Literary Society
held its thirty-fourth annual Oritori
cal Contest Saturday evening, March
13tli. The fine orations were of such
excellent content, and so skilfully
rendered that the judges deliberated
for more than thirty minutes before
reaching a decision. Edward Hol
lady, receiving first honors, was
awarded the handsome Henry Clay
medal.
L. L. Williams delivered the first
oration of the evening, "The Dawn
of a New Day," dealing with the in
dustrial problems facing American
labor and capital. Mr. Williams con
cluded with a plea for the representa
tion of both capital and labor as a
basis for industrial tranquility.
"Th(3 Age of Aeronautics," by H.
L. Johnson, was an exposition of the
amazing progress made in the con
quest of the air. The great possi

LEXINGTON OUINT WINS
WESTERN CHAMPIONSHIP}
Lexington Saturday night won the
high school basketball championship
of western North Carolina by defeat
ing Winston-Salem on the local court
by a score of 21 to 15. The game was
one of the fastest high school games
ever witnessed here and abounded in
spectacular plays. It was a fierce
battle from start to finish and the is
sues were not really finally settled
until the last five minutes of play.
With six field goals to his credit,
Everhart, of Lexington, was the
brightest star of the contest, while
Raper, of the same quint, also was
in stellar form. For Winston-Salem
the work of Caldwell and Davis was
conspicuously brilliant, the former:
securing seven and the latter four
points.
Lexington started the scoring in
the first half and maintained the
lead tor 10 minutes. Winston-Salem
then executed some fancy work, tie
ing the score, which stood 10-10 at
the end of the first half. Both teams
came back strong in the second half
and Lexington succeeded in forging
ahead, later increasing the lead over
the Twin City fellows. The team
work of the Lexington boys was su
perb and was somewhat better than
that of their opponents, this fact
accounting largely for their victory.
With the ball in their territory the
Winston-Salem players were stronger
in goal shooting than Lexington, but
they appared unable to keep the ball
in their territory very long.
The lineup and points;
Winston-Salem—C. Davis, left for
ward, 7; Caldwell, right forward, 4;
Scheldt, center; Wilson, left guard;
M. Davis, right guard, 4.
Lexington—Raker, left forward;
Raper, right forward, 9; Everhart,
center, 12; Hunt, left guard; Leon
ard, right guard.
Substitutions; Reynolds for
Scheldt. Referee: Mcßane, of Guil
ford. Umpire: Anderson, of Guil
ford. Time: Twenty-minute halves.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS DEBATED
BY CLAYS
One of the hottest debates that the
Henry Clay Society has heard this
year, took place last Friday night,
March 12, on the question of imme
diate ratification of the covenant of
the League of Nations without
amendment. Marlette, Merriman
and Petree upheld the affirmative.
G. T-Todgin, Cummings and A. J. New
lin successfully defended the nega
tive.
President Johnson appointed a
that were a portion of the old Henry
Clay library, for which the college
librarian says there is but little room
in the college library.
The proposed competitive plan for
the selection of the members of the
Guilfordian Board, was discussed
thoroughly, though no vote was
taken in regard to this matter, near
ly all of the discussion was in favor i
of the proposed plan.

OX THE DIAMOXD
The fine warm days last week
have given Coach Doak opportunity
to tryout different men in the sev
eral positions on the team, enabling
him to see how they really took in
action. The material on hand is
certainly promising and Coach ought
to put out a team this year that will
equal his 1918 State championship
team. Here are five or six old 'Var
sity men back this year. With these
as an experimental needeus the sci
ence and headwork of the game
should not be lacking.
The battery is always the first
concern of a team and while we have
no old heads for either end there
seems to be some fairly good candi
dates out for both positions. For the
receiving end Gilbreath and Frazier
so far have appeared to be the most
promising material. The three
Shores, E. Mcßane and Nichols have
been taking turns at tossing 'em
over. The fans have been praying
for a second "Legs" to appear in our
midst. Well, "Babe" has the first
requirement in the matter of length,
but it is too early in the season to
say just what he has in the form of
benders.
For the first station Frazier and
Stout have been showing up about
the best so far. Fox with M. L.
Thompson running a close second,
have been stopping the would-be
stealers as they slide into second.
Jim Newlin is back at his old position
on the hat coverer. Jim has been
stopping 'em in his old time style
and batting the same.
