THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VI.
RAIN INTERRUPTS
SOUTHERN TRIP
Davidson Cancelled. Team Wins Two
and Loses One in Game With
Club Teams
Rain and wet grounds prevented
the scheduled games with Davidson,
April 27, and Belmont April 28.
Three games of the five scheduled
for the week were played. One with
Kannapolis April 29, and two with
Spencer April 30, and May 1. Guil
ford won the first two games by
sending the winning runs across in
the ninth inning of each game. In
the last game a repetition of the two
former feats was made possible after
two men had been sent back to the
bench. The bases were filled by
three singles, and A. Newlin hit to
first base for the third out.
Kannapolis I—Guilford 3.
With ground, weather and almost
everything .favorable for a good
game Guilford* defeated Kannapolis
in the best game of baseball that
Coach Doak's team has participated
in this season. Guilford played er
rorless ball for the first time this
season. H. Shore on the mound for
Guilford, kept the Kannapolis hits
well scattered. Lee for Kannapolis
held the Quakers scoreless until the
ninth, when the first man up hit one
down the left field line for two bases.
Two sacrifices and two hits sent
three runs across the rubber.

First Game With Spencer—
Spencer 13; Guilford 16
This game was one long swat-fest.
To the players it seemed more like
a track meet. Yet it was a most in
teresting game to the spectators for
it was uncertain until the very end.
The lead was exchanged three or
four times in the nine innings and
at the beginning of the ninth Spencer
had the advantage by two runs.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C.. MAY 5, 1920
May Day Pageant Scores
A Grand Success
PERFECT WEATHER, PERFECT
COSTUMES AND CAMPUS,
ALL JOIN HANDS FOR
CROWNING OF THE
MAY QUEEN
On a perfect May day that left
nothing to be desired that the weath
er man could give Guilford's first
May Day Fete, passed into history.
It was one of the most elaborate af
fairs of its kind ever held at Guil
ford and the management are cer
tainly to be congratulated on its
success.
The procession started as sched
uled from Founders Hall at 2:15 P.
M. Leading the procession were six
heralds in costume. The band come
next playing an appropriate march
tune. The Queen and her coterie ot
attendants came next in a large au
tomobile that was elaborately decoi
ated in purple and white. Behma
her car was the entire pageant of
fairies, flowers, nymphs and clowns,
marching in double file. The line of
march led from the porte cocher at
Founders drawn by Archdale, up by
the library and then circled around
by New Garden to the little national
ampitheater that lies between Foun
ders and New Garden. The last oi
the pageant was just leaving Found
ers as the first part of it was round
ing the library. The wonderful bleiu.
a the coslu.nes with the green ol'
he cami.us made a wonderful pic
ture of the procession.
The Crowning of the Queen and the
May Pole Dance
The queen, Isabel Panicoast, was
escorted to the throne which had
been erected in the center of the
glade and banked on either side with
cedars and dogwoods. Here, sur
rounded by her attendants she re
ceived the crown from little Emily
Virginia Levering, who brought it in
on a white satin pillow. After bid
ding the assemblage welcome to the
May festivities she received the hom
age of her flower subjects. Each one
in clever flower costume brought a
vow of homage to their queen. After
thanking them she bade them go |
dance around the May Pole. This
they did after a pretty fashion that
brought forth great applause from
the audience. They wove and un
wound the gay ribbons of green and
white around the pole in a series of
frolics and dances and finally dis
persed like a cloud of butterflies be
hind the scenes.
Tableaux Pictures and Clown Drill
A series of tableaux pictures repre
senting the four seasons and other
well known characters were next
.shown from the stage. These were
especially pretty and were heartily
applauded. Gertrude Hobbs repre
sented spring. Naomi Tomlinson,
with her wide hat, Saucy Sansbade
and fruit basket was Summer. As
Fall, Marjorie Williams in Indian
costume with her arm full of golden
ears of corn, was quite striking.
Care-free Winter, with her scarf fly
ing in the snow and her skates slung
under her arm was Katharine Har
mon. Bo Peep, (Mary Ellen Griffin,)
Little Boy Blue, (Eurie Teague),
Jack and Jill, (Nell Schoolfield and
Clara Henley,) and Columbia (Fran
ces Moore), were also much enjoyed.
The clowns in their drills, mimic
fights, leap frog gaunts and final dis
persal in fright took off the honors
of the day in the mirth producing
line.
The hoop drill by 20 of the girls
dressed in white, came as a fitting
close to the pageant. To a slow
waltz tune they went through a very
clever series of movements, classical
dances and drills, finally retiring
prettily through the shrubbery.
Between the drills and dances
Misses Bird Motley and the college
chorus rendered appropriate May
time vocal selections. Grace Stone
played the dance music for the May
pole dances and drills. The Oak
Ridge Institute band furnished music
for the procession, and in the inter
missions. A representative of the
Roberts Film Company was on the
grounds and made pictures of the
pageant which are to be shown on
the screen. Much credit it to be
given Miss Frances Moore, the Y.
W. C. A. president and Mr. James
Westley White, of the vocal depart
ment for the success of the pageant.
Refreshments were served in booths
around on the campus which helped
to swell the net profits of the affair
up to around SIOO. This is to be
used in the local Y .W. Ci A. for the
Blue Ridge fund. The plans on foot
now aim at making this affair an
annual event. The crowd, while
fairly large was not by any means a
representative audience of Guilford
alumni and old students.-
