32 THE SI N DIAL MUSIC NOTES Mrs. H. H. A. Beach. America's foremost woman composer, was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Adams in April. We were privileged to hear Mrs. Beach in an informal talk at chapel. She told how. when the com- mission came to write a cantata for the opening of the Woman’s Building for the Columbian Exposition in 1893. in Chicago, it took her but a moment to decide upon the One Hundredth Psalm with its joyous message. All were charmed with the natural, simple manner of this writer of music in its largest forms, whose reputation is as great in Europe as it is in America. Mrs. Beach is always happy to say that all her musical training was received in this country. The school is fortunate in secur- ing foi its vocal teacher next session. Mrs. Alice Cothran, of New York City, whose interest in her subject and in voung people argues much of promise for the coming year. Added to her charming personality. Mrs. Cothran unites years of serious study in hei chosen art. LI FAUNG WANG GIVES RECITAL On Saturday afternoon. Ma 22nd. Li Faung Wang, our student from Shanghai. China, gave a delight- ful program of piano music at Mrs. Adams home. The Housc-in-the- Woods.

This year the baseball team was most successful and has kept up the record started when it was organized four years ago. and has won every game played this season. Many games of great interest were played. The men of Montreat thought they could beat the girls! It was a hard fought game from start to finish and showed some good work on the part of both teams. But our team triumphed over the men in an 18 to 10 victory on the Montrcat diamond. The men received good training and were pre- pared to fight the forest fire the fol- lowing day. Then we got a good chance to show the faculty they didn't know it all. when we won over them in an 24 to 11 victory. Many other games were played with equal success. Basketball Forwards Elizabeth Miller Frances Beasley Priscilla Kincaid Line-up: Guards Marguerite White (C) Evelyn McElroy Eva Phillips Subs: Ida Currie. Virginia Painter. One of the interesting features of the season was basketball—with many of the old girls back and lots of new material, an excellent team was selected after daily practice un- der the direction of Ida Luttrcll. We got our share of victories and were defeated only once during the season. Perhaps the most thrilling game was the one played with Swannanoa on their court. When we won with a score of 26 to 13. The forwards. “Grubber” Miller. Frances Beasley, and Priscilla Kincaid, were stars in shooting goals. The guards. Evelyn McElroy, Eva Phillips and Marguer- ite White, by their excellent pass
