Those who have feared for the
safety of the nation and who have
tearfully plead with the citizens of
the United States to arise and oppose
the movement for disarmament need
no longer fear. The army of the
United States can no longer be paint
ed as an inferior one, as one to trem
ble before the armies of Japan and of
Great Britain, or even of the com
bined armies of Europe.

Should a war break out between the

it is certain that both the enemy and
the drums would be well beaten.

FACULTY RECITAt
COLLEGE SUCCESS
Freshmen Vanquished
By Sophs in Battle
Capacity House for Bessie Tift
Auditorium.
The Faculty Recital took place in
the chapel of Bessie Tift College bn
londay night last. The brilliant
audience taxed the hall to its utmost
capacity. This recital has become r.n
annual affair and is looked forward
to by both town people and students
with great interest and delight. It
takes place each year soon after the
opening of school and introduces t-
the public those who have been added
to the faculty of any of the depart
ments of Fine Arts since the previous
year.
Last night’s program and the man-
ner in which it was executed main?
tained most admirably the splendid
standard that has been set by these
recitals in past years.
The program was as follows:
Organ: Marche Religieuse, Guilmant
Prayer from Gothic Suite

Accompanists
Miss Brewer, who has been absent
from the college the past two years,
Has spent this time in New YOrK
studying, giving organ especial at
tention.
Miss Baker, who taught at Bessie
Tift last year and is so favorably
known to a Forsyth audience, ably
upheld the reputation she has already
made by the clear tones of a group
yf songs of pleasing variety. Added
interest was given to the second num
ber, beingv the composition of a
'riend. \ .
In 1 the group of piano numbers
which followed, Miss Sanders, the
"danist, shewed herself a master of
t 'chnique and her interpretation of
‘he difficult numbers was beautiful
ind bespoke the real musician.
Miss Ulmer, who has charge of the
Expression Department, followed
with a choice selection from the
“{Spanish Gypsy." Her interpretation'
brought out the subtle points in. the
minds of the characters. She threw
herself into it with all the feeling
necessary and. with good dramatic
sTect. .
The last was a violin number given
hy the director, Mr, H. H. Fuchs; He.
roved himself a wizard with the'vio
lin. Again interest was .added to his
numbers, as one w’as dedicated to him
and the other Mr. Fuchs composed.

Sophomores wip!
When the whistle b)ew announcing
the result of the freshman-sophomore
._sh at iviercer Tuesday aitern,on,
.he second-year n.en gave a rousing
.heer and the gritty-raced Ireshmen
groaned.
v
The red and White ribbons of the
-ophs stul floated in the breeze after
.he rush and the defeated first-year
men looked covetously at them.
it was a great fight, according to
.he upperclassmen. 1 The first-year
...en had maue clever plans lor the
fight and Lee Battle, mercer janitor
..or twenty-one years, had coached his
newly adopted ireshmen in the art of
rushing and ribbon-snatching.
Colors in Danger, Once
iFfty strong, the se-ond year men
gathered around the famous maple
tree in which the dolors were fas
tened ten feet high. J. T. Garner,
better known to the' students as
highpockets,” six feet four inches
tall, • stood against the tree to reacn
.or any freshman who might get
near the colors. He was flanked by
J. C. Jackson and N. A. Thompson,
noth in the six-foot class.
Forming their line of defense about
the tree,' the sophs awaited the on-
laught of the new men. After giv-
.ng a loud "Hi-yer, hi-yer, hi-yer,
reshmen," the first-year men rushed
the defenders. From the beginning
the scrap was all heads and feer.
. eet and heads belonged together -n.
the 'scramble. Somewhere in the
large crowd, Lee Battle could be.
heard yelling for the freshmen as he
has done for more than twenty years.
Only once were the colors in dan
ger of being lowered. .N. G. Evans, of
Edgefield, S. C., 110-pound fresh ran,
>Vas hoisted on the shoulders of two
jf.his classmates but when He al . o-t
touched the ribbon, . "High'p eke. '

and brief number. , , .
