Season of Social Activity for
Soon-to-Be-Grads.
The Seniors, duly endowed with all
their proverbiul dignity celebrated, their
approaching graduation at Bynum gym
nasium last evening at one of the most
charming senior halls of recent years.
It was a thoroughly " Senior affair and
the night of May 14 vvil long be remem
bered as one of gala festivity when
Senoir met Senior ut an entertainment
where four years of college work was
, the card for ndmisison. Hal Kemp's
orchestra furnished the music that filled
the Gym with harmony and rythm for the
dancing couples. A large number of girls
whom the seniors had invited down for
the occasion and many girls here for the
numerous social and athletic events of
the week-end, attended the Ball and their
presence was , a great contribution to
its success.
The hall was elaborately decorated in
black and gold, the class colors and the
. dull prosaic gymnasium took on a holi
day appearance. The ' crowd was large
enough to insure an enjoyable time, with
plenty of breaking, but was sufficiently
small to prevent the crowded conditions
that usually mar the dances at the gym.
A novel feature of the evening were the
special dances by various honorary
groups YiY the class. The first of these
was that for the monogram wearers when
the athletes that Carolina is losing this
year were given the floor to prove that
their field of valor is the ballroom floor
as well as the athletic field. Phi Beta
Kappa men came next and the wearers
of the key were not found deficient in
the Terpischorean activities. Special

MUSIC BY TARSONIANS
Bevy of Beautiful Girls Throng Ball
Room Floor.
Last night at the Carolina Inn, the
Carolina and N. C. State chapters of
the Sigma Nu Fraternity entertained at
one of the most delightful danecs of the
season. . The girls a ballroom lull 01
them, were the outstanding feature dt
the dance. ' The Tarsonians played ir
resistible music from nine till one and
these were hours of keen enjoyment for
the dancers.
Girls from far and near graced the
dance with their presence. With some
forty odd visiting girls a the Sigma
Nu week-end house party, to say nothing
of the many others in town for the mul
tiplicity of week-end events,- the femi
nine talent for the affair was well cared
for. Debutanes, college girls and high
school lassies vied with one another for
the favors of personal charm, and light
hearted college youths scrambled for a
chance to judge them.
The decorations were simple end dig
nified. A large Sigma N pin. fur feet
in diameter, built especially for the oc
casion by Murray Crawford of ' State
College, was illuminated and given the
most prominent position in the ballroom.
This served as the feature of the decora
tion scheme. '
The figures, led by Everett Huggins
with Devries Davis was one of the most
with Vevries Davis was one of the most
original ever executed -at local dances.
The couples filed down the steps at the
entrance of the ballroom and divided,
half going, to tthe right and half to, the
left, and after; circling the room the
couples met and the line glided snake
like over the floor, 'finally ending up
with the formation of the Greek letters;
Sigma, and Nu. During the figure the
girls were presented with beautiful but
terfly purses of white kid, with the seal
of the fraternity in gold set on the strap.
There were two no break dances for

guished by distinctive attires of

"Trust in the Lord, do good, so shalt
thou dwell in the .land, and thou be fed."
Dr. C, It. Brown, Dean of the Yale Di
viity School, gave this verse as the basis
of a working faith in his lectures.
Dean Brown lectured here Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday on the sub
ject "A Working Faith", He was liere
under the auspices of the MeNair foundation.
The specific subject for the Tuesday's
lecture was "What We Live By". The
lecturer said that people allow bits o
dogma and useless belief to cling in their
minds, as bits of useless furiiture and
bric-a-brac clog up a house. He urged
that we get rjd of,;, these, worthless
ideas. He then gave the above mentioned
verse as a foundation for a successful
life. He showed how it contained wor
ship love, of fellow man, citizenship, and
economic success, each necessary, he said,
for a well rounded existence. "
The first lecture gave in condensed
form all that he talked on in his second

TAR HEELS WERE HITTING HARD
Hatley Starred at Field touchdown
Jones Plays Bangup Game ,
At Initial Station. ,
The Carolina Tar Heels came from
behind in the eighth stanza Thursday to
hand the Duke University Blue Devils
an 8 to 7 walloping on Emerson field
in the second game of the series between
the two aggregations. A base on balls,
a sacrifice' fly, two singles, and a two-
ply blow netted two runs in the eighth
frame uiid the game for the Duncanites.
"Lefty" Westmorland, who did the
hurling for the Tar Heels, succeeded in
holding the Blue Devils to two lone
markers until the sixth frame when
they bunched five bits and with Ten-
ney's miscue, counted five runs to make
the score read 7 to 6 with the Dukemen
holding the big end. The Tar Heel port-
sider retired six of the Duke stick art
ists via the strike out route, and issued
only one free pass to the initial station
Whitted used three pitchers in an ef
fort to stem the tide of 'Iar Heels
markers that .were, drifting across the
plate. Thomas was the first one to oc
cupy the mound for the Dukemen, but
he was sent to the showers after the
Tar Heels hatT gathered four hits off
him to count for four runs. Jones was
the next 'twirler that Whitted sent to
the mound, but he did little better than
Thomas had done before him, and he was
yanked in the third stanza when he
walked Mackie and allowed Webb,
Jones, and Slmrpe to hit in succession.
Thompson did the ' remainder of the
hurling for the Blue Devils and exhibit
ed more stuff than did cither of the
other two Duke hurlers. He held the
Tar Heels to two bingles until the
final frame, when he yielded three hits
to count for the tieing and winning
runs.
"Touchdown" Jones was the leading
hitter of the day. The Tar Heel cap
tain came to the rubber three times
and drove out a single, a double, and
triple. This is the third game in

CAROLINA QUALIFIES 9
Finals in Every Event Will be Held on
Emerson Field at 2:30 This After
noon. Large Attendance Expected
Living up to all the expectations and
hopes of the dope prophets, the nota
ble assemblage of cinderpath artists
carried off the preliminaries of the
Southern' Conference Track and Field
Meet, held on Emerson Field Friday
afternoon, in fine fashion.
, Five records were bettered, and every
indication points to the fact that during
the finals today spectators will see a
grand and glorious slaughter of rec
ords which have stood the onslaughts
of more thun one meet.
Heuli.ing the importance of the oc
casion, the weather man gave J. Pluvlus
the afternoon off, and had lie not over
looked a slight breeze the weather would
have been ideal. What few fans were
in the stadium cannot grumble about
the afternoon, for the weather aided
the galaxy of stars in staging the pre
liminaries to their record-breaking party
just as much as they did,
Carolina and Maryland arc tied for
first place in the number of men placed,
each having qualified nine men, while
Virginia und Louisiana State Univer
sity are tied for second with seven
men each. Today will see these four
teams fighting for the honor of carrying
off the Winer's prize. Carolina will phi
her hopes on McPherson, Watt, Jonas,
Fordbam, Woodard, Ambrose, and Wil

such stars us Endslow, Thomas, Sheriff,

OUAKERS TODAY
Duncanmen Will Attempt to
Make it Two in A Week
From Guilford.
SAPP MAY PITCH AGAIN
Itabb Expected to Get Assignment to
Hold Tar Heels.
The Tai IJeels invade the stronghold
of the Quakers this afternoon , in an
attempt to make it two straight vic
tories over ''the "Guilford nine for the
week. They took the boys from up
Greensboro way , by surprise earlier in
the week and nicked "Shirt" Smith for
seventeen hits and nine runs. This
proved to be just seven more tallies
than "Cicero" Sapp allowed the visitors
to make.
Doak's boys were right much cha
grinned by this unexpected setback, but
in true Quaker fashion, they have said
little and thought much. It is reported
that they ure planing to get sweet re
venge when Duke Duncan leads his Tar
Heels into the Quaker arena this after
noon. Guilford lias three hurlers primed for
the gume, and if the Tar Heels hit up
to their usual standard, they will all get
into the game. Rabb, a right hander
who stood the Davidson sluggers on their
ears earlier in the season, is said to be
itching for a chance to avenge the de
feat of his buddy, "Shirt" Smith, at the
hands pf the Carolina maulers. From the
way that the locals treated the Blue
Devil right banders Thursday, it looks
as if Rabb might meet the same fate as
did his southpaw croney. Coltrane and
Smith are the other hurlers ready to ,
start. Smith may draw the assignment,
but In view of the fact that he has al
ready been solved once this week by the
Tar Heels, he Is not likely to work,
unless the other two should find the go
ing too rough for them.
Duncan has Poyner or Sapp ready for
today's game. Sapp bus already turned
the Quakers back once, and the "Duke"
will probably send the big fellow back to
try his luck again today.
