THE GUILFORDIAN VOL. IX. N. G. STATE NOSES OUT AHEAD IN SECOND CLASH WITH GUILFORD BATSMEN Quakers Out-batted in Final Mix up With N. C. Aggies; English Stars for Guilford The Quakers fell for the second time before the powerful baseball machine of State college on Tuesday, April 10, at Greensboro, taking the lesser part of 5-3 score. The feat ures of the game were, the curlers of Ferrell, Guiford's moundsman, and the unusual skill which the vis iting infield displayed in tossing the turnip about the lot. State outhit the Doak affair, but this was due largely to slow fielding on the part of the latter. Guilford flailed the apple five times for gains, three of which were two-sackers. Hart sell's bunch succeeded in douliling this number. State started the fray by marking up counters in the first frame off of two single hits and a weakness in the Quaker infield. Guilford never rallied against this initial ag gression until the fifth when Eng lish swatted one that sent him to the keystone sack. In the sixth inning following this rally, Hayworth cross ed the rubber, forced in by Beal, the State twirler. Guilford's two other runs came in the eighth as a result of a double by Winn and a single by English. At this juncture Beal was hoisted out of his position in favor of Allen, a south paw. Outside of the first inning, State's hits and runs were well scattered, finishing up her final score, by the addition of one counter in the ninth. BOX SCORE Guilford: AR. R. H. PO. A. E.

Piano Recital | Ruth Reynolds and Altah j Rush I GRADUATING STUDENTS PRESENT FIRST RECITAL Misses Merriman and White Appear in Varied Program In the first graduation recital of the year Miss Lloyd Merriman and Miss White gave to the audience in Me morial hall Saturday night a strong program of classic and modern com posers. The program covered a wide range of selections, including representative work from eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth century writers. The numbers from Bach and Beethoven formed a substantial if austere background for the re mainder of the program which was in lighter vein. Miss White played the "Bourree" from Bach's third cellosuite with the perfect balance due counterpoint writing. Her correct interpretation of the severe music of this period deserves much praise . In the light er numbers from Seeling and God dard she displayed technic and ve locity of a well trained hand. The salon music of "Moment de Ca price" and Woodham's "Nocturne" gave a brilliant touch to the pro gram contrasting sharply with the heavier numbers of the classicists. Miss White played these numbers with elegane and feeling. Miss Merriman's first number was three movements from Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. She gave an ap preciative interpretation of the deep harmonies of the adagio movement and a forceful presentation of the "presto agitato". This difficult move ment which is a practical endur ance test, seemed to present no ob stacles to Miss Merriman, for she played it gracefully and smoothly. In the Chopin number which was probably the peak of the program, she played like a master. The ex acting "Revolutionary Etude" found a correct interpreter in her. The fa mous "Sunset Meditation" and Liszt's "Dance of the Ghnomes" were given with delicate color and charming technique. "Valse Caprice' from Charles Gil bert Spross constituted the final number. This was arranged for two pianos, and required a strict sense of rhythm from both the graduates. They played it well. The work of Miss Byrd with her music department merits much praise. The Tecital was without doubt the best program that the music department has given this year, and it was made possible through her efforts in traning the graduates. Her selection of an ar tistic and well balanced program counts for much in the college en tertainment. GIRLS' TOURNAMENT IN TENNIS IS UNDER WAY The girls' preliminary tennis tour nament has begun. The first games will be played between members of the same classes. Later, those girls winning out over all their class mates will compete with the win ners from other classes in an inter class tournament. GUILFORD COLLEGE, N.

JUPITOR PLUVIUS LANDS HEAVILY ON SCHEDULE "Jupe" Pluvius played quite a prominent role in Quaker sports the past week. His honor ruled out no less than three contests. Two baseball games, one with Wake Forest that was to have been played at Guilford, and one with Carolina that should have reeled off on the Chapel Hill diamond. The game with the University will probably be played on the twenty-fourth. A track meet with Trinity, scheduled for last Saturday, on the Trinity field was also rained out of ex istence. The track team however, has two more frays booked, one with Elon at Guilford, April 26, one with Davidson on the Presbyterian ground, April 28.

WEBSTERIANS ENTERTAIN PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY Feature of Evening" Program Is National Convention The Websterian literary society delightfully entertained the members of the Philomathean literary society in Memorial hall, Friday evening, April 13, with their regular bien nial reception. The feature of the program was an interpretation of a National po litical convention presented in a lo cal manner. The convention which had appar ently assembled for the purpose of discussing and bringing about cer tain reforms in the social life of Guilford college, was a delightful "take off" and very cleverly done. Special mention should be made of the impersonations of the Philoma thean girls, which interpretations were particularly enjoyed. Thomas R.

Winn; Miss Marie Beaman, Founders, Sam Harris; Miss Sallie Wilkins, New Gar den, Addison Smith, Miss Janie Mae Butler, Founders, Elton War rick; Hersel Macon, New north section; Nereus English, Old north section; Wendell Cude, center sec tion; James M. DifTee, Old south section; Kenneth Neese, New south section; James Howell, secretary; J. W. Frazier, wireless operator: Thomas Hadley, press reporter. The second number of the pro gram, a violin solo by Mr. Burge, pleased the audience very much. Misses Helen Bostick, Nell Car roll. Marie Beaman, Edith Macon, and Margaret Armfield responded on the part of the guests to the welcome of the Websterian pres ident, Hersel Macon. Following the close of the formal program the meeting adjourned to the Websterian hall for a social hour. Here, delightful refreshments consisting of neapolitan cream, cake, salted almonds, coffee and mints were served. The guests in addition to mem bers of the Philomathean literary society were; Misses Louisa Osborne, Katherine Rick, Beatrice Byrd, Mrs. E. C. Perisho, Kate Smith. Era Lasley, Professor and Mr. L. L.

PHILADELPHIA FRIENDS STAND BEHIND GUILFORD SAYS PRESIDENT BINFORD President Returns From Visit In North; Interviews Mr. Arnette "Philadelphia Friends are taking up the cause of Guilford," reports President Binford after his trip to Philadelphia, New York, Worcester, Mass., Harvard, High Falls, New Bedford, Bethlehem, Virginia, Weatherly, and other places in quest of faculty for next year and in the interest of the endowment campaign. Dr. Binford spent three days in Philadelphia, where a committee of prominent Friends, some of them old Guilfordians, was formed to present the cause of the college to the Friends of that city. This com mittee consisted of: Walter Havi land, chairman; President W. W. Comfort, Professor Reynard, Pro fessor Edmund Wilson, all of Haver ford; T. Edgar Snipes, of the class of 'O3, William Overman, William Allen, '99, John Way, and Aldred Scattergood. A statement of Guil ford's needs will be sent to these Friends, who will put it out over their signatures. Private appeals will be made, though there will be no public presentation. Several hundred thousand people were attending the Philadelphia Yearly meeting at this time. As a point of interest, the president noted that while the sessions of the meet ing were about four hours long, very few of the great audience left or went to sleep. Among other business, the meeting sent a letter of apprecia tion to Governor Pinchott of Penn sylvania, commending his sturdy en forcement of the prohibition laws. Dr. Binford was entertained by the North Carolina club, at one of its monthly luncheons. His speech on this occasion was a toast to North Carolina. "Guilford is making great prog ress in the campaign," said Mr. Trevor Arnette, secretary of the General Education board, to Dr. Binford, who visited the office of the hoard while in New York. Both Dr. Butterick and Mr. Arnette seem ed pleased with the results of the endowment campaign thus far, be lieving that Guilford will certainly raised the required fund. The sub scription at present is about $130,- 000. Dr. Binford visited several points in New England, and was enter tained at the home of Sarah Swift, a very generous Friend, who has helped out a number of Quaker schools in the past. Dr. Binford considers his tour quite successful in regard to both campaign and faculty, though no definite statement has yet been issued as to the latter.
