BY COLORFUL CROWD
ALUMNI DOWNED BY GARNET MOUNDSMEN
IN ANNUAL AFFAIR
•
The annual Alumni-Varsity base- ball game was played on Johnson Field, on Saturday, May 17th. The
school boys trampled on the college men to the tune of a 15-6 score. The game was marked by many sub- stitutions on the part of both teams, principally in the hurling position.
Alfred Wilson, who held down the third base for V. E. S. last year, cel- ebrated his return by clouting a home run for the Alumni in the fifth inning, knocking in Forsyth and Risher. This was the only four-base
hit of the game.
Wilson Hits Homer
The heavy scoring for the old men was done in the fifth session, capped by Wilson's homer, while the home
team did their best work in the sixth. The Alumni could have done better work with more practice, as they })ad good material, but the re- quired teamwork and cooperation was lacking. Taylor, Humrickhouse, and Mr. Bond pitched for the "Has- beens," while James Ashton Rufus Hairston, and Peck Luck hu~led for
the home aggregation.
Percy Harris starred for the Var-
sity, by knocking two triples and one two-bagger out of four trips to the plate.

Kany Alumni Are Back and Add to the Festivities and Fun
of Occasion
The annual field day, held on Sat- urday, May 17, was brought to .a snappy close by a dance held on that evening in the Barksdale Gym- nasium. The dance proved to be the
peppiest and most colorful thus far this season. As it was Alumni Week many of the alumni were present making the crowd much larger than usual; also many out-of-town girls as well as local ones were present at this affair.
The gymnasium was uniquely and artistically decorated with the school colors arranged around the walls and forming a canopy overhead. These decorations, as a background for the colorful costumes of the girls, gave the whole scene a brilliant and kalei- doscopic effect. Between dances Mrs. J. M. Ladd served punch to the couples. Dr. and Mrs. Randolph, Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Banks, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Dawson, and Mr. and
Mrs. J. M. Ladd were chaperons. The Couples
The couples were: Mr. and Mrs. Costolo, Miss Langhorne Watts with Roy Dillon, Misa Sue Johnson with

The Virginian Hotel was the scene
of a_ delightful banquet held by the
Semor Class on Wednesday night, May 28. John Maybank served as toastmaster, and a committee, made
up of Penn, Gamewell, and Luck staged it. The menu consisted of fruit salad, chicken, ham, vegetables, and strawberry short cake.
In the short after dinner speeches that followed, it developed that most of the Senior class had enjoyed themselves, that most of them thought it would be a fine thing to keep coming back, and that the years spent here had been very profitable. Some of the more outstanding of the
