THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VI
Guilford Bested By Wake
Forest By SGore of 9-6
On Tuesday afternoon, April 15th,
Hobbs field was the scene of one of
the fastest baseball games played
here this year. The game was in
teresting from the time Umpire Mc-
Bane called "Play Ball," until the
last man was out in spite of the
number of runs made. Practically
the entire student body and the
faculty were present and were a
source of inspiration to the players.
There was a number of past timers
from the community present and
their influence was certainly no han
dicap to the teams.
Twice during the game the score
was tied. A hit batsman, a wild
throw and a couple of errors helped
to build up the tally sheet for the
Baptists.
In the second frame Guilford took
the lead, scoring five runs and driv
ing young Griffin from the box. He
was succeeded by Austin, a port
sider, who was able to hold the
Quakers scoreless for a while.
The first run for Wake Forest
came in the sixth frame, Jeannette
walked, went to second on what
would have been an easy double had
it not been for a wild throw by the
pitcher ,to second base. Ragsdale
bunted and was safe at first, Shore
failing in the attempt to get
Jeannette 'at third. Dunean came up
with the bases filled and smashed out
a two bagger to extreme left cen
ter and three men tallied. He scored
a moment later on Johnson's single.
In the seventh Guilford staged a
rally and scored two runs, Marlette
bringing them in with a long drive
over the left fielder's head.
Wake Forest came back in the
eighth with the aid of a trio of passes
an infield hit and an error at first,
scored four runs, a lead which the
Quakers could' not overcome.
The batteries for Guilford: H.
Shore, B. Shore, C. Shore and Stan
field. For Wake Forest: Griffin,
Austin and Boylan.

Students' Recital
Oil Tuesday evening, April 13, a
recital was given in Memorial hall
jy the music students. Misses Annie
Marshal, Hazel Richardson and Ruth
Pearson first gave a trio, "Bar
jarolle," which was very much en
joyed. This was followed by a very
charming little piece, "The Butter
!y," by Eva Lewallen, after which
Miss Grace Stone, in the manner to
which she is accustomed, and which
all enjoy, played "The Fountain."
Worthy of special mention was
'Grande Valse Caprice," by Miss
Mildred Patterson, also "Told at Twi
light," by Miss Naomi Tomlinson.
Both numbers were very well ren
dered and told of careful preparation
as well as musical ability on the part
of those giving them. Miss Ruth
Reynolds in the solo "To Spring,"
impressed the audience by her
smoothness of touch, while Miss
Kathryn Harmon played "Im
promptu" with a grace that all ad
mired. The duet "Prelude, C sharp
minor" by Misses Ruth Reynolds and
Hattie Lambeth was one of merit, and
Miss Lloyd Merrimon in "Poupee
Valisante" showed a grace and skill
that merited the applause received.
An especially interesting feature was
the vocal solos by Miss Byrd, as
sistant in music here. The audience
was particularly impressed with her
singing as was testified by the ap
plause given.

Zatasian-Clay
On April 16th, the Zatasian Liter
ary Society were the genial hostesses
of the Henry Clay Literary Society
in one of the biennial receptions that
form a notable part of Guilford's
social life.
The Clays have a genuine appre
ciation of their inability to express,
but in small part, the eagerness with
which ithey have anticipated this
event and the joys which accom
panied the occasion itself.
The literary program given in
Memorial hall is one which will al
ways be remembered for its sterling
qualities, and excellency of rendition.
A beautiful presentation of the life
and art of "The Blind Poet" Milton.
The first number, a tribute to the
fame of Milton—his place in litera
ture, and the unsurpassed qualities
of his work, was given by Mabel
Ward.
The second number, Milton's
"Comus," was so skillfully presented
that the entire audience was help
in wrapped .attention. The Zatasians
are to be congratulated upon the
exceptional ability shown by the
actresses. Following this Mildred
Patterson displayed some of the mu
sical talent of the society in a well
rendered instrumental solo.
"Blind Milton," a poem tribute to
the heroism which Milton showed in
his great affliction, was read by Mar
garet Levering. Nina Robertson then
delighted the audience with a
charming vocal solo.
In the last number, a Siblyline
Consultation, Clara Farlow opened
for a spell the mystic veil which con
ceals the future and one after an
other of those present joyfully faced
the future or bent a cringing head

NUMBER 25
Lecture By Booth Lowrey
Closes LyGeum Course
Guilford Audience Characterized By
Much Laughter
The lecture Saturday evening,
April 17, was of a two fold interest
to Guilford students, first because of
the splendid lessons which were so
clearly set forth and second because
of the humorous and characteristic
style in which it was presented.
The audience was held in constant
suspense throughout the lecture as to
what Mr. Lowery would say next.
The unusual subject: "Simon Says
Wig-Wag," was very amusing as no
one was able to say just how this
subject would be treated.
In introducing the theme Mr. Low
ery tells a story of Simon sitting at
a banquet, and as it happened Simon
says wig-wag and in response all the
others present reply with the same
words —so the people everywhere
are playing this same little game—
that of doing the very same thing
which others are doing, just merely
for the sake of appearance. Few
people ever see anything but what
is on the surface. They never stop
to think of the real value of life.
Mr. Lowery stated that the whole
world has been stabbed in the heart
by three great tyrants, that of exist
ing customs, current fashions and
public opinion. He says the great
est one of these three tyrants is
hat of public opinion, or what do
eeople think of us?
Practically, the principles of every
individual are determined by public
opinion. We spend much of our time
wondering what people think of us
when really they are not thinking of
us at all. We are spending more
time, energy and brains on this than
my other one thing, and public
opinion has squandered more lives
than anything else. The world loves
only the genuine, so if we spend all
our time trying to please everybody
we will please nobody. No fine cul

DEMOCRATS ORGANIZE "PAGE
FOR GOVERNOR"CLUB
The Democratic portion of the
student body assen.bled in King hall
last Wednesday afternoon, threw
aside all particular leanings for
other candidates, and organized a
"Page for Governor club." The club
was organized, however, not with the
sole purpose of working for Page,
but for Democracy in general.
The temporary chairman called
the meeting to order and then made
a short speech outlining the work
of Democracy during the last seven
years, and said a few words in re
gard to their present platform. The
ranks of Democracy here seemed to
be solid as not a single discordant
note was struck during the whole
meeting.
The meeting then went about the
business of organization in true
Democratic style, suffrage being
granted to all. Shields Cameron was
elected chairman, Madge Coble, sec
retary and Hugh Moore, treasurer.
