WORD ENDS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL SEASON SINCE Mil OF 1918 IN BASEBALL The game with Elon college on Sat t.rilay .May 22 marked the close of the most successful baseball season since 1918 for Guilford. The team von 11 out of the 19 games, scoring runs to their oponents. As usual.the team got off to a bad start due to the fact that many ofthe hardest games on ihe schedule came at the beginning of the season. The opening series tiiis year was played during the Easter vacation when the Quakers encountered five teams, losing games to Wake Forest, Lenoir Rhyne, and Winston-Salem Twins of the Pied mont League. After a few days of practice had taken the rough edges off Doak's machine, the Wake Forest team, in a return game was bl. nked by the pitch ing of Shirt Smith who allowed them only three hits. In the Virginia trip the team won three games, tied one, and lost one out of five contests. After conquering Bridgewater, Roanoke College, and Washington and Lee, they tied the strong Georgetown team in a 13 inning fray with the score standing 7-7 when the game was called on account of drakness. The only defeat of the trip was suffered at the hands of the Quan lico Marines who got revenge by a Jarge score for their set-back in the opening game of the season with the Quakers when Shirt Smith held them to a 1-0 defeat, the only game the Marines lost in North Carolana Hendrickson and Griffin, playing se cond and third respectively, proved to be two valuable new men on the Quak er varsity infield and must be given credit along with Nee English, Wade Lindley, Rich Ferrell and the renown ed Shirt Smith. In the outfield, French Smith and Kendall were more ir less steady hitters. The other po sition was rather unstable; sevoral i-eople holding it down during the sc. son. The pitching staff was one of the best that Guilford has produced for many seasons. Shirt Smith, the state wide known southpaw, began the sea son with his usual stellar showing by beating the Quanlico Marines at Greensboro by a shut-out score of 1-0. Poole who hailed from D.vidson at the second semester would have won many more games for the Quakers had IK been elligable for intra-s ate college games. Coltrane, through his collect edness on the diamond, proved to be an excellent releif pitcher as well as good all-round ball player. Rabb, star Lenoir High School righthander showed what he could do in the game j between Davidson and Guilford when I he conquered the hard-hitting Wild cats 112 and allowed them only a few scattered hits. The Crimson anil Cray te. m will feel the loss of such men as English anil French Smith who will graduate this Spring; also Hick Ferrell who goes to the Detroit Tigers. But with the large squad of reserves that crowd ed some of the veterans for their positions this year, Doak will have a good supply of raw materi. 1 out of which to build a winning team for 3927. The following is a composite box score of tlie entire season. Kendall is leading with a batting average of al most .'WO. followed closely by Rick Ferrell.

Monday morning in the library. The gift consisted of ihree reserve shelves and a magazine rack for the library. Miss Ricks responded to Mr. Guthrie's presentation speech. The appropriatness of this gift will not be doubted by anyone who has sought for magazines piled threefold on the present rack, and with the many donations received during the past year, the bookshelves will also served a very good purpose. THE GUILFORDIAN FOREIGN MISSION WORKERS MAKES VISIT TO GUILFORD FOR STUDENT VOLUNTEERS Holds An Open Forum On Camp us—Discusses The Race Question In a chapel talk, May 21, Mr. Long said, "Foreign Missions thrill me more than any new adventure. It challenges the intellect and interest. It is a new adventure with our lives in service. It is giving ourselves to the task of pe ce and goodwill." He continued by saying that the ministry and foreign missions were considered to be the most sacred occupations, but others are just as sacred. And life calling is sacred because of what is put into it. Foreign missions is not the most wonderful—just one of many. "\\ by are you really interested in missions? Why, not law'!I*' 1 *' someone asked Mr. Long. Many college stud ents of today say, "I'm going where the money is." However, the speaker answered the question by saying, "I believe the unit of success is service to humanity." Another question one olten hears is, "Why leave un-Chris tian America for service in other lands?" Mr. Long answers this ques tion by saying, "It is because the people of other lanos need my services more. Here are some of the facts to show why I believe as 1 do. There are more ministers in lowa tli n in Latin- Ail.erica, and only 15' of the people ut Egypt lead and write." Doctors ami nurses find it hard t. • choose between Ihe open fields of Chin and tlie rich United Stales. More people die in Africa from preventable disease than were killed in the first year of the World War. There is some thirg in Christ's way of life that will ease this .nd finally erase these con d it ions. On May 21 Mr. Long, chose for his chapel talk, "A Look at Non-Christian America." "There are many challanges to Christianity," explained Mr. Long. "An outstanding challenge is seen by a look into our own non-Christian civilization. Some people s y that our nation is the most militaristic and im peralistic of the world." He then pointed out the difference between the commonly accepted Chris tianity and the teachings of Jesus. This was followed by the application of the principles of Christianity to war and race relationship. Mr. Loy Long met with a group of students on the campus from 6:30 to 7:00 Friday evening to discuss some of the problems that we are facing to day, laying special emphasis on the "Race Problem." "Do not get the idea," says Mr. Long, "That we as white people can manage our business alone and let the others do the s. me, so closely is the world knit together. • He asked the group a question, "Can we be Christian with the negro today?" Many of the students followed with discussions along this line, pointing out how we may be Christian with the negro, giving them more advantages. My Desire To keep through all the commonplace A vision of the ideal ; To keep through all the waking hours Dreams that may not be real; To keep through all the love that fades One love unstained and pure; To travel down the lonesome road And know my way is sure; To keep a tenderness in my heart For flower, or beast or man; To lift, to love, to laugh, to help. To do what good I can—• Then my desire shall Ik? fulfilled, When I reach the western rim, And I shall travel hopefully on. Down the sunset trail to Him. —G. H. I BROWN AND McCOLLUM WIN SENIOR SCHOLARSHIPS (Continued from page 1) Mawr Scholarship awarded to Miss McCollum is valued at S4OO.

Starting as a reporter on the Cuilfordian board he advanced to the office of Managing Editor and then to Editor-in-Chief. Last year he successfully managed the Guilford College Glee Club and this year he was President of that organiza | lion. j Miss McCollum has also made a I splendid scholastic record and is very |popular on the college campus, lier splendid dork in matham. tics and her knowledge of this subject deserve special mention. She expects to pur sue this course at Bryn Mawr College ! next year. | . SOPHOMORES WIN ANNUAL FORENSIC WITH FRESHMEN In the Annual Freshmen-Sophomore debate, held in Memorial Hall, M y 24. the Sophomore team. Wilnier Steele and Paul Swanson, defeated the Freshmen team, Scott Parker and Ed win Rozell by a 2-1 decision. The question debated was: "Resolved: that the Japanese Exclusion Art should be repe led. 'I lie Sophomores rep resented the affirmative and the Fresh men the negative side of the query. The affirmative argued that the ex clusion act is inexpediant and unfair; that the Japanese are an economic ; s jset to the United States, and that the exclusion act has hindered the spread of Christianity in Japan. The nega tive brought forward the points that, to repe I the act would be disasterous to the American people; the act is right in principle, and that the Ex clusion Act is the only way to keep tilt Japanese out. Both sides showed much enthusiasm and at times debate became exceeding ly humerous to the audience. Byron Haworth acted as chairman and the judges were Miss Eva Campbell, Mr. Samuel Haworth, and Mr. George Wilson. A Man is old as soon as he stops learning. Be natural so we'll all feeel more at home. Like people, when money isn't work ing it gets shiftless, and ecquires bad habitsu Page Three GUILFORD'S GLEE CLUB FINISHES FOURTH YEAR OF ITS MUSICAL WORK Club Composed largely of New Men II iilwiti Chorus Experience The Cuilfrod College Glee (Jul) has passed its fourth year of organization. This \ . s a very successful season des pite the fact that its beginning was most discouraging. Losing a number of solofsts last spring made it very difficult for the program committee to arrange a program that would equal those of previous years. The total nomber of concerts which the. club gave this year w. s fourteen. Besides the home concert and those in neighboring towns, the club made an eastern tour, visiting six towns during the week. It was received best in Roanoke Rapids, Hertford and at home. At every place a hearty invitation was extended to the club to come back next ye. r. The Glee Club was greatly strength ened in having as its director Mr. Grady Miller, of Greensbttro. Mr. Mil ler has made special study of chorus work and it was owing to his ability and efTorts that the club was able to make the season successful, He is pi. nning to make further study in men's chorus work at Columbia univer sity this summer, and it is believed that he will have many new ideas for the program next fall. Sam Keen, who was student director this year, will also be back next year to assume his ! old position. ! The gleemen hope to give af 11 per formance in addition to the regular spring season appearances. Instead of making a tour of the | eastern part of the state next season, as has been the custom for the p. st two years, the management hopes to ' schedule a trip through the western section of North Carolina. i GLEE CLUB OFFICERS FOR SEASON OF 192T ELECTED Ihe Glee Club officers for next year have been elected, as follows: Sidney Winslow, President; Byron Haworth, Vice-President; Howard Trivette, Secretary ani Treasurer; and Paul Reynolds, Librarian. Joseph Cox was re-elected business in. naged. Samuel Keen, who has for the past season been student director, was re-elected to this position, and with Grady Miller will supervise the chorus work of the or ganization during the coming year.
