Here wc arc back into the swing of g*od
old A. C. Collei^e life once again. Part of l.'ir
life it very much a* it hat boen for tome time,
part of It hat made a motl decided change. r>h
well, with 175 freshmen on Ihe campus and 179
uppercla**mcn there it bound to be a change.
I 'upote thing! teemed rather nice and cer
tainly very pleatani for two of our most ad
mired young men, when one of our lovelietl
alumni member* returned to Wilton to spend a
few dayt before traveling on lo E. C T. C. If
I have anyone guessing at to whom they are, I
«. ill give you a hint. One of them it a very hand-
tome brunelte and a member of Ihe junior class.
The other one it a very handtome blonde and
supervitor of the dining hall. She certainly has
good laate.
K-K-K
Gosh, it raally it pitiful when a girl hat to
run competition with a horse. Did any of you
tee "Sunvhine" at the church reception? I bet
she had a marvelous time eating ice crcam. (If
she wa* there).
K-K-K
Will someone drop the author of this col
umn a tip? There seems lo be a very, very
charming young man from Zebulon admiring
one of our cutest little red-heads. Can you tell
me if she admire* him? I’ll wager she does.
K-K-K
Triangles alway* cause trouble whether in
math class or wherever they may be, but when
two red-heads with automobiles and a precious
liille brunette form a triangle it takes a good
deal of research to solve the problem. I suggest
you go to the library for information.
KK-K
.My, but it is heartbreaking when the boy
friend has 10 go lo Kentucky to school and stay
for such a long lime. Oh. well, there was part of
Ihe summer and a pan of the fall. Don't worry
child, just play the piano in chapel for ut once
in a while and time will pas* quickly.
K K K
Will someone please explain to the town
girls why they should not be allowed 10 talk lo
boys when dormitory girls cannot. It really is
a trying situation, but nothing seems 10 be able
to help It.
K-K-K
Are the president of the Y. M. C. A. and Y.
W. C. A. gong to have a good year? We sin-
ccrcly hope to.
K-K-K
.Maybe ths is enough gues* work for Ihe
month of September, lo order to answer all the
questions and guess all the riddles, you had
better keep your eyes open and your mouibt
shut ight.

raESHMAN WEEK
Weil, another college year has
started and before this year is ov
er campus personalities will prob
ably introduce some new faces,
but for our first issue we have
chosen two old reliables from the
senior class, whose personalities
are public property by now. Per
haps, however, we can delve into
their pasts and bring forth some
facts that will throw a more in
teresting light on them.
The ouutanding feminine per
sonality of the month is Sara Jane
House of Kinston, N. C. Sara
Jane is a graduate of Southwood
High School, where she was pres
ident of her class as a junior and
senior and also valedictorian of
the class of 1U36.
During lS»36-37 her freshman
year at A. C., she took an active
part in the Y. W. C. A. In 1937
tile became a member of the W.
A. A. and also the Phi Sigma Tau
Sorority, of which she ia now the
secretary. Also that year she
was elected secretary of the Wo
men’s Dormitory Council.
During her spare time she
worked on the Collegiate, was a
member of tbe Dramatic Club, the
Verse-Speaking Choir, and the
Choral Club.
When the Golden Knot Honor
Society held its annual ceremonies
last year, Sura Jane was among
those tapped for membership.
She was a courtier in the May
Day exercises during her junior
year and was elected by the stu
dent body last year to round out
her four years of service by act
ing as chief marshall in her se
nior year, 1939-40.
Maybe not so big in size as a
few of us, Sara Jane has, howev
er, managed to make quite a name
for herself on the A. C. campus
in tbe last three years, and we
are all wishing with her that her
senior year will be a fitting cli
max to a successful college career.
We don’t know whether w»
do our next personality justice,
because he’s so modest he wos]^
n’t tell us what he’s done while it
A. C., but made us work for *
change and trace his history (r<Q
the day that he entered A. C. ij
1936 up until the present timt
But since the ‘ show must go on*
we’ll try to do our beat.
It would really be a much eaiiet
job to list the things that Elmer
Mottem hasn’t done at A. C. thu
to tell you just what all he hu
done. Well, naturally, before he
entered school here he had to
graduate from high school. There-
fore, we’ll start by telling you
that he finished high school ia hit
home town, Asheville, N. C.,
where he was editor of the high
school paper. He attended t bus
iness school for one year and en
tered A. C. as a freshman in 1934
Each year he has worked on the
Collegiate and Pine Knot, ud
last year, as a junior, he was ed
itor of the Collegiate.
As a sophomore he was initist-
ed into the Phi Kappa Alpha fn-
ternity. He has served both u
chaplain and vice-president of thii
fraternity since becoming a mem
ber. Last year he served at ju
nior representative of the Men’i
Dormitory Council. He has taken
an active part in debatmg tnd
was captain of the 1939 boxioj
team.
Last year Elmer also was tap
ped for membership into the
Golden Knot Honor Society. Who
the elections were held last spriij
he was elected to the highest po
sition on the campus, president of
the Cooperative Association. Sudi
a tribute as that by his feUo*
students gives you more idea of
what his presence has meant to
everyone in any way connectad
with A. C. C.
To the Editor:
Praia* ia unmiatakably due to
the new force in the dining hall.
Moat of the wurktn are freshmen
but they are doing their work very
well. To thoM who are doing
their beat to prvp«r* and serve our
mtalt let us give oor full coopera
tion. We should be courteous and
considerate to oor waitreaaea. In
return, much better tervice will be
received.
The dining hiU it one of the
few placea in which the students
are brought togetber. It plays a
major part in th« aoclal life on
the campua. Everyone ahould be
m jolly apirita and be prepared
to offer his part in the conversa
tion at the table to make the meal
a auecea*. It does not call for
any boisteroui or aomannerly ac
tions and In the nteantime it
should be remembered that we are
being obacrved and Judged by our
etiquette and behavior. Naturally
we want our frlands to have a
good impreasion uf u*. So let us
cooperate and really enjoy eating
uur meals together.
