MAROON AND GOLD.
and in his address Saturday night
the question was clearly answer
ed in the affirmative from the
speaker’s own experience of 19
years in Porto Rico, and from the
changes in the lives of natives
who have embraced Christianity
there. Several touching and in
spiring incidents were related
showing truly that missions are
well worth while. The address
closed with an appeal to young
men and women in choosing their
life work to look for the place
where they can most honor God.
The South American countries
are looking to the United States
to send them are Word of Life.
These people have tried the
principles of our government, our
educational scheme, they have
tried to put in practice almost
everything of our country except
the principles of Jesus Christ, and
now they are convinced that with
out Him and His principles all
that they have put into effect can
not carry out the desire of their
hearts. The need is calling for
the best of our men and our wom
en. When God looked down upon
a lost world. He sent the best He
had. His only Son, and Dr. Bar
rett urged that we catch the vis
ion and decide also to give the
best we have, even though it be
ourselves.
PSIPHELIAN PROGRAM.
Best Program of the Year.
The Psiphelian Society met in
regular session Monday evening,
October 4. This was a very en
joyable evening for us all. The
old members were indeed proud
to see the new members taking so
much interest in society work.
The first number on the pro
gram was a reading by Miss Lula
Patterson. Miss Patterson held
her audience spellbound through
out the reading. She is to be
commended on her splendid ren
dition. Her manner of expres
sion is very attractive, that which
we all admire.
Miss Lolis Holland rendered a
vocal solo, which was very sweet.
We all enjoy music, especially
music of this type.
“Current Events,” by Miss
Tuck, was especially instructive
as well as entertaining. She gave
us some important information
concerning Woman Suffrage, and
of course we all took warning as
all who can—expect to vote this
year.
Humor, by Miss Fulgham, was
especially enjoyed. Miss Ful
gham rendered her work in her
own delightful manner. We like
selections on this order. They are
always appreciated, especially
when Miss Fulgham puts her own
spicy thoughts in her work.
Miss Margaret Moring enter
tained us for quite a while, relat
ing the prophecy of Class of ’23.
According to Miss Moring’s
prophecy there is something in
store for every member of ’23.
I’m sure every one who is enroll
ed in that class is indeed fortun
ate.
The comparison of Elon spirit
with that of Carolina, by Miss
Grace Nevil, was thoroughly pre
pared. Of course Miss Nevil was
partial to Elon spirit and she per
suaded all to agree with her.
However, Carolina must be pleas
ant—according to Miss Nevil.
A very humorous and enter
taining dialogue was acted by
Misses Philipps and Gotten. The
dialogue was purely original, ev
ery Psi had the right to feel
proud of Misses Philipps and Got
ten. They entertained us so pleas
antly and pleasingly. We are
looking forward to hearing them
again soon.
Miss Demmick told us her first
impressions of Elon. She sure
has a vivid memory. I think she
remembered every smile and
frown she saw the first day. Her
opinion of Elon is similar to that
of every Elonite, that is: very
good. Elon is the place we all
love at first sight, and always.
Mary Graham Lawrence ren
dered a very pretty piano solo;
her touch was fine and brought
the melody out well. When Miss
Lawrence began to play the music
was so sweet you would be safe
in saying the birds did hush their
singing while Miss Lawrence
charmed them with her sweet
music.
Hiss Helen Sellars read a very
interesting story, the story being
purely original. A love story al
ways keeps the audience intense
ly interested. Human nature wills
it so. We hope to hear Miss Sel
lars again. She as well as the
other new members bid fair to
make us good Psiphelians.
Life of my favorite author, by
Maude Lyerly. Miss Lyerly
seems to be partial to John Bun-
yan. She gave her individual
reasons which were good enough.
Pm sure there are others who
claim Bunyan as their favorite.
Elsie Garner gave a brief synop
sis of her favorite novel in a very
delightful manner. Miss Garner
bids fair to make us a true Psi
phelian.
The three best numbers on the
program were Misses Patterson,
Moring and Fulgham.
IN THE CLIO HALL.
The Clio’s are getting down to
their old standard of efficiency,
and are coming up with the real
stuff again. Last Monday even
ing the program was a credit to
the society and to the individual
members who participated there
in. Mr. Cannon in his splendid
oration, “Democracy, in Educa
tion,” showed the society that if a
man would apply himself he could
accomplish great ends. Then
came Mr. H. Lee Scott, ’nuff said,
but I should say that Mr. Scott
in his selection was strictly origi
nal. He was on for an imperson
ation and since this Mr. Scott
knew and could impersonate Mr.
Scott better than anyone else, he
gave us an impersonation of the
aforesaid Mr. Scott, but in his im
personation he seemed to think
that he is different from_what we
know him to be. \
In th’e debate we saw' some of
the material that was taken in
this year, and it is very promis
ing. Mr. M. Z. Rhodes was hon
orably mentioned in the judges’
report as being a man of rare
oratorical possibilities. Mr. In
gle was adjudged the best speaker
for the affirmative and Mr.
Clemm for the negative. The de
bate was full of pep all the way
through, and the gentlemen
brought out their points splen
didly.
The program as a whole was
very good, and the men of the
Clio hall are looking forward to
a year of splendid work and
achievement.
START FRESH.
No one is likely to make a suc
cess of his day’s work who starts
jaded. If he gets up in the morn
ing weary, and goes to his daily
tasks struggling to throw off a
burden of lassitude, it is almost
impossible that he should do him
self anything like justice. We
should make it a point to start
each day rested. To over-exert
ourselves so that our night’s rest
is not sufficient to repair the
waste of energy, or to cut short
our hours of rest for either work
or pleasure, is inexcusable short
sightedness.—Selected. •
