Seniors, Faculty Entertained at Founders, April 30, 1919

From The Guilfordian, Guilford College, N.C., April 30, 1919.

Founders Faculty Shine as Hostesses

On last Tuesday evening, April 22, the seniors and members of the faculty were royally entertained by the following members of the faculty—Misses Osborne, Benbow, Edwards, Roberts, Noles and Gainey.

The members of the class were received by the hostess in the main entrance of Founders, after which they were ushered out to the broad veranda which had been transformed into a porch-garden enclosed by a dogwood trellis. The lighting effect was very beautiful, consisting of Japanese lanterns artistically arranged. Soft couches and easy chairs made a most inviting retreat for the happy crowd and the quiet beauty of the whole scene made the guests wish to stay indefinitely. The sweet strains of a Victrola added to the charm of the occasion and in the midst of the merry laughing and talking delicious refreshments of Neopolitan ice cream and Angel Food cake was served. While these were served the guests were favored with selections upon the piano by Miss Ball and Mrs. Binford. A course of coffee and Divinity Fudge was then served, after which the party assembled around the piano and sang old familiar tunes which concluded the pleasant evening. Then with gracious thoughts of their hostesses, the guests took their departure.
