Charlotte I Thompson High attempted a tourna-l ment all ^ts own Tuesday afternoon and was highly successful. Playing four games in one afternoon the boys j and girls of this school defeated the boys andi girls of ? Central and Dal- 1 zell high schools. , | While these schools arc ,not in the I running for any state championship I or have pflayed any strong teams up] until this time they are located near Charlotte Thompson and there is nat-j urally some rivalry between tho schools. The Bantams played stcfllar ball in all their encounters and a? no I time were they extended to win fro ml their opponents. Clarkson, star for ward for Charlotte Thompson was in jured in the first game but his team mates played jam-up ball, defeating Central, then Dalzell. The girls re peated the performance in much the same fashion, the scrubs playing against DalzeN throughout. For the boys Bruce, DuBose, Norris and Sanders played well. For the girls the best work was contributed by the Misses Irby, E. Boykin, L. Workman, Sowell, E. Workman and M. Bradley. The feature of the af ternoon's play was the teamwork ex hibited by the winning teams. The scores follow: 1c.T.H.S. 29 Central 1G C.T.HS. 33 ?? ntrjl * C.T.H.S. 20 .77. .

G. Richards, Jr. Cam den was honored on this occasion by having as her guests Dr. and rs. I D. B. Johnson of Winthrop college. The bapquet was held in the Betty Thomas Coffee Shop and covers were laid for about eighty Winthrop Daughters and friends of Winthrop. The committee in charge found thav about twice \his number of ?inf tfyrop's supporters wUhed to attend i I space could have been provided for them. The Coffee Shop was never more attractive than on this occasion, I decorated with early spring flowers and filled with thit atmosphere of good fellowship which a gathering of I Winthrop girla never fails to create. I Hon. L. T. Mills of the Camden bar was at his best as toastmaster and contributed much toward making this occasion a happy one. Music was I furnished by some of Camden's sweet- 1 iest singers who are always most gen erous with their talents. Miss Anne Trotter of Syracuse, N. Y? sang?,two lovely solos, and Miss Celeste Mum ford with her famous banjo and coon songs made the musical hit of the evening. , I A toast to Winthrop college was given. by Miss Helen Phelna who I spoke of the affection in which al. Winthrop girls hold their ~Alnja Mater, whose name is indissolubly linked with that of Dr. Johnson. Mrs. George Stuckey of Bishopville, newly elected trustee of Winthrop responded to this toast and spoke of the great work of Winthrop and of its future needs. Miss Minnie MacFeat, head of the kindergarten ' department at Winthrop and Mothter Goose's own de scendant also responded A) this toast, and her delightful sense of humor carriod many a Winthrop girl back to the days when she sat . in Missl MacFeat's classroom and learned the psychological -reasons for the mis chievousness mI the little boy on the I back seat. When , called upon to speak in public Miss MacFeat always responds in verse and her tribute to the Winthrop girl will be published In the next edition of Mother Goose. A -toast to Dr. Johnson was givpn and. the toastmaster in calling oj* him spoke of his greatness as an or:J ganizer, an educator, and as a politi cian. Dr. Johnson responded .with that directness and modesty which al ways characterize the truly great, saying, "I appreciate very much tho many kind things you have said about me? but I am as nothing in this mat ten It is the Winthrop girl who has made Winthrop what it is." He then told' the story o^ Winthrop, which made ' its small beginning forty years ago in a building which had been used as a stable, and now has more than 1,700 students, having turned away more than 900 last year. Dr. John son then mad$. a plea for a new dorm itory and other improvements at Winthrop, pointing out the fact that South Carolina has contributed only about one-third of the present value of the college and saying that there could be no freshman class next year unless more space were provided. The toastmasteq then called on Sen ator L. O. Funderburke who spoke of his admiration of the work of Win throp, but convinced the audience that senators as well as college presidents have their troubles. Representative W. L. DePass, . Jr., ,then spoke and pledged his suppok to all appropria tions that; Winthrop should ever need. Mr. W. H. Haile who has sent two daughters to Winthrop and has sev eral more on the waiting list, was heard to remark before the banquet that if he had a million dollars he would surely give Winthrop half of it. Before the banquet was over ho was willing to turn over the entire million to Dr. Johnson. Surely South Carolina will not do less than Mr. Haile. . > The Camden chapter of Winthrop Dauglfters wishes to welcome as hon orary members of their organization Mr. L. T. Mills, Mr. W. H. Haile, Dr. John W. Corbett, Mr. W. L. DePass, Senator L. O. Funderburke, Mr. W. L. DePass, Jr., Mr. Hollis Cobb, Mr. Clilton McKaih, Mr. C. W. Birchmore, Mr. J. B. Zemp, Mr. J. G. Richards, Jr., Mr. B. G. Sanders, Mr. W. L. j DeLoache, and Mr. Marvin Reason-, over, in the hope that, never having been called upon to wear a Winthrop uniform or obey Winthrop rulers, their joy in the greatness of Winthrop will be unalleyed, and that they will be present at a bigger and better Win throp banquet in 1927.
