FOUNDERS DAY.
Rain Interfered with Relay Races
Enjoyable Reception.-Field Day
Exercises.

| Last Thursday afternoon the relay
race, which was booked to be run,
was thrown out Of the Founders
, Day contest by the unkindness Of
! Jupiter Apollo.
In spite of the fact that the even
ing was a very dreary ONE, very
enjoyable reception was rendered by
the Y. M. C. A., in honor Of the
relay runners. ALI the students and
their young friends Of tie town en-
joyed their hospitality. The anus
ing feature of the evening was the
game Of "Noted Characters. As
each person entered the hall a piece
; of paper Was pinned upon his or her
back, bearing the name Of the person
to be personated. After this
amusing game, one member Of each
!,elass gave mock prophecy Of what
the respective classes would do in
the Field Day exercises.
Miss Eva Goggans, representa- g
the Philomathean society presented
to Mr.. C. J. Shealy, president of tie

regard for the association. Af-
ter this, all present went into the
