C. DONOVAN, ’17 | | I I Alumni General Secretary I | GLIMPSES I 1906 1922 I By Dr. Anna Helfenstein 111 September, 1906, I arrived in Eloii College for the first time. I came to enter the graduate scliool as candidate for my M. A. degree. Prior to my entrance to Elou College there had been jio Expression Depart ment. I came prepared to create one, and did so. I had a splendid class of twenty-five, with Dr. Lankford, T. H. Franks, H. M. Loy, Lucius Lincoln, Ethel Clements-Huff, Rev. and Mrs, E. M. Carter (Mrs. Carter nee Miss Lovey Floyd), Nanie Baker Farmer, Mr. and Mrs. "VV. C. Wliitaker (Mrs. Whitaker nee Miss Elsie Atkinson), and Martha Winston-Holden in the number. Latin T in the preparatory depart ment had sixty students. We divided the class, giving one division to Dr. Harper, who had the chair of Latin, and I took the other. East Dormitory, the Administration Building and West Dormitory (then new) and the electric power house were the only buildings on the grounds. Our dining room was w^here the girls’ gym is, and the space below was a “terrible void. ’ ’ Dr. Lawrence and family lived in West Dormitory the first year I was here. Dr. and Mrs. Harper resided there the second year I was here. It was necessary that the dining room then be under faculty management. Were you to come now you would find these families living in beautiful homes just off the campus. The student body then was small— not more than 150, I believe. The boys and girls then did not have so many privileges then as they do now^ yet they were apparently 'Rajipy. The ma tron had sole charge of the girls. She lived on the second floor. During study hours she sat in the hall near a table. There she was “on guard.” A few “trusties” lived on third floor. There I was no Dean of Women. The girls wore uniforms made of either black or dark blue serge. Eve ning dresses stayed at home or else rested quietly in their trunks. Occas ionally girls were allowed to wear light dresses. One unruly girl donned a pret ty red dress and appeared in chapel. She thereby earned forty demerits. Fifty sent the students home. In September, 1922, when I arrived at Elon ^College, I noticed two more buildings and an enlarged power house. The college now has a farm and an ath letic field. The faculty is increased in number, in avoirdupois, and no doubt in intellectuality. The patrons and church seem loyal to Elon. Little chil dren used to tell me what room they were going to have when they came to Elon. Everything is suggestive of pros perity. Loyalty is the key-note and should be the feeling of every one who is in any w^ay a part of the institution. «> »» •V «'« •*« ’98 There w^ere seven in the Class of '98. The roster follows: Mrs. N. F.

Why worry with the old style pencil when you^can buy a “Par’ at the College Store for 50 cents? ELON AND LYNCHBURG TO BATTLE SATURDAY (Continued from page one) others of Elon’3 eleven are in good shape. Light workouts on Monday and Tues day and scrimmages on Wednesday and Thursday, with the scrub team using Lynchburg’s formations, has been the schedule of practice on the football field this week. The outcome of the Guilford game is very satisfactory to the student body here, inasmuch as Guilford held Wake Forest to a scoreles tie and Trinity beating Wake Forest only by a lone field goal. A hard game is expected with Lynch burg. Winning over Wake Forest by i 20 to 7 score, and having exceptionally good backfield men on their team, espe cially in Whittman who is exception ally fast and a great broken field run ner, it is expected that the visitors will give Elon just about all she can handle for one afternoon.

In this way the ball was carried near enough the goal line that Perry w^ent through the opening gap and across the goal line for the second touchdowm. The extra point was made. From then on the Quakers were out played in all departments of the game Perry ripped the line in his eagerness to gain ground and although he was injured in the game he held a cool head and soon sent the pigskin across the goal line from the 15-yard line. It fell into the hands of Clark, who com pleted most of the passes. In the backfield McAdams and Kirk land did good work for the Christians. Elon made 12 first downs while Guil ford made only seven. The chief ground-gaining factor was the forward pass. - Elon completed nine out of 11 while Guilford made 6 out of 11.
