RESIGNATIONS CHANGE FRESmilEII DEBATERS Miss Batley and Mr. Miller Resign Be cause of Heavy Studies—Suc cessors Are Very Capable. A called meeting of the Freshmen Class was .held in the college chapel Tuesday at 11:00 o'clock. The purpose of the meeting was to elect debaters to fill the places left va cant by the resignation of Glenn Miller of the Clio Society and Miss Helen Batley of the Psykaleon Society. Miss Mary Herbert ^Vatkins was chosen to fill Miss Batley’s place and F. H. Prescott was the choice as Mr. 3Iiller’s successor. Because of a heavy schedule of work Miss Batley and Mr. Miller f(>lt it best to resign their posi tion as debaters. T'he newly elected debaters are popular students and their election means that the Freshmen still have able speakers to meet the Sophomores in the annual clash in April.

However, about six o'clock Banks “Country’’ (lorman was blown onto the campus by the advance breeze of the gale which swept through the Hill Sat urday night. A few ininutes later W.

(Continued on Page Four) American Indian Is Psykaleons’ Subject FIRST MEETING OF NEW YEAR Many Characteristics of the Race Men tioned—Misses Watkins, Stout and Williams Do Good Work. 'I'he si)ring term of 102.‘^-24 school y('ar opened here last Thursday which was registration day. In spite of the inc'lemeTit weather most all the students were back and registered by six o’clock that evening. T'lie enrollment is ])ractically the same as that of last fall. There were several who did not return for various reasons. Some failed on Iheir work, some changed to oth*r schools, and others were lost by The way of the nuitrimonial road. However, there were several new stu dents to enroll which offsets this loss. There was nothing of interest to the oi>ening day except a brief chapel ser vice. Dean Hook made some announce ments in regard to the s]n-ing semester’s woi'k. and also in i*egard to recitation rooms. Classes are now held on the sec ond floor instead of the first. The w’ork- men are busy finishing the first floor. Dr. Harper, who was confined to his home during most of the holidays, was unable to be present at the opening of tiie school. This was the first time in thirteen years that he had been absent fro!u the op'>ning service of a school semester. However, he sent, a message to l)e read, which follows : Words of Greeting Aftpr what has, I trust, been a pleas ant vacation with loved ones and friends, we are now back on the Hill again for the last lap of 102:V24. It will be what we make it. Let us resolve to make it thoroughly repi'esentative of the Klon spirit and of our own best ideals. I wish to take this opportunity to ex press to each of you my grateful appre ciation of the splendid attitude of sym pathy and co-operation displayed by each and all during the fall. Handicapped as we were, because of the spirit of team play and fellowship, the fall of 1923 will go down in Elon history as remark able for its good feeling and excellency of spirit. The ability to have achieved this gratifying result under such circum stances will bear a wholesome fruit in character and life-achievement in the years to come. I am unable to say these things in person, hut I felt constrained to send them in writing and with them to wish for each o£ you a most happy and prosperous New Year. The Psykaleon Literary Society met last Monday evening for the first time since the Christmas holidays, the meet ing being held in the new' society hall in the Alamance Building. “The American Indian’^ w’as the main topic of the program. This was a subject which w^as not so familiar to most of the members, but which proved to be a very entertaining one. Many interesting characteristics of the Indi ans were mentioned, some of ■which w’ere their sense of honor and loyalty to a friend, their intense hatred of an enemy, and their rigid discipline among the various tribes. Their love for mu sic was an outstanding characteristic. This music, for the most part, consist ed of the wild war song, which although lacking in harmony had a very striking sense of rhythm. The Nomadic Indians were not as progressive as other tribes. One of the most interesting numbers consisted of a brief sketch of the pro gress of the Blackfeet Indian Reserva tion, Montana, w'hich is located just south of the Canadian border. The agri cultural possibilities arc limited, but these people have made remarkable pro gress because of the aid from the gov ernment. Along w’itii fheir progressive ness they have naturally become demo cratic-in their ideas. A sort of ‘^Old Folk Colony” has been established for the infirm, each living in a separate cottage. The rapidity with which they learned to farm and care for their homes is remarkable. The program was as follows: ‘‘Characteristics of the American In dians,’’ by Miss Annie Mae Lackey. “The American Indians in Music,” by Miss Mary Lee Williams. A vocal solo, “Absence,’ Adelia Jones. “The American Indians,’ Margaret Jt>e Ballentine. “The Nomadic Indians in America,” by Miss Wiley Stout. “The Progress of the Blackfleet In dians,” by Miss Mary Herbert Wat kins. Those receiving special mention on the program w^ere Misses Mary Herbert Watkins, Willey Stout, and Mary Lee Williams. by Miss by Miss ORATORS ELECTED BY PHILOLOGIAN SOCIETY Utley and Terrell to Appear on Com mencement Program—Society Night Is Changed to Thursday. The Philologian Literary Society met in its last session before the holidays. On account of examinations the pro gram was postponed until after Christ mas. A brief business session was held in which much business was transacted. The Philologians will have Thursday night as the regular meeting night be cause of only one hall. The other three societies have the first three nights. During this business session the Junior Commencement orators w^ere elected to. represent the Philologian society on the Commencement program. Jt. W. Utley and B. W. Terrell were chosen. These two men take a very active part in literary w’ork and will no doubt represent the society with crcdit. REWARDS OF FIDELITY OISCDSSEO BY Y.W.C.A. Miss Myers Leads Meeting in Which Many Girls Take Part—Appropri ate Service for First Meeting. CLIOS DECIDE ON PLAY FOR ANNUAL PBDGRAAfl To Present Play, “The Hut,” in Feb ruary—Program Given Tuesday Night Varied and Interesting. The Clio Literary Society met for the first time since the holiday season on Tuesday night and started the year right with an interesting program. The first number was some very good current events by M. A. McLcod, Jr., which were delivered in a very im pressive and pleasing manner. G. C. White follow’ed with a force ful oration on “Truth.” Mr. White brought some very good thoughts to the society and deliveret them in such a w'ay that they will bear good fruit in the future. H. Richardson gave the society a very interesting poem.

A. this year w’as an interesting and helpful one. The subject, “Rewards of Fidelity,” was an a,i>propriate one for the first meeting of the New Year. Miss Zondal Myers was the leader. Song, “In the Service of the King,” reading of the 1st Psalm by the leader, and the Lord’s Prayer began the pro gram. The ^irst discussion, by Miss Lucy Austin, was - on a subdivision of the main topic, ‘ ‘ Rew’ards of Fidelity to Self. ’ ’ After mentioning a number of ways in which faithfulness to self is rcw'arded, Miss Austin summed up her speech v.’ith the quotation from Shake speare, “To thine ow'n self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not tlien be false to any man. ’ ’ The next discussion, by Miss Flor ence Moseley, was on the sub-topic, “Rewards of Fidelity to Work.” Among the rewards of those in school for fidelity to their work she mentioned good grades and a good reputation; to those in the businers world she men tioned high w’ages and good positions. In discussijig “Rewards of Fidelity to God,” Miss Ruth Voncanou men tioned a great many of the blessings enjoyed by the faithful ones. !Miss Mamie Sockwell told the story of Abraham, dwelling on his unselfish ness in giving up the best land to Lot when they had to move to different places, and on his fidelity to God shown by his wnllingness to offer up his son as a sacrifice. Miss Sockwell also allow ed his rew^ard. Miss Judith Black told a very touch ing story about a dog’s fidelity to his master. The rewards of Ruth’s faithfulness to J^aonii in Bible times, and the re- w’ard of Paderewski’s faithfulness to practice in modern times, were discuss ed by Miss Margaret Rowland. The meeting closed w’ith a song, “My Faith Looks Up to Thee,” and a prayer by Miss Pattie Coghill.

W., Mont Amonea Seminary, G. C. W., and Guilford College, The first lady whom -ne met was Mrs. C. A. Williams, of Greensboro, who helped us in getting acquainted. During the supper hour to have seen the different groups eating their lunches one would have thought they were on a picnic instead of being in a Pullman car. ■\Ve w’ere not so fortunate as to have our lunch w’ith us, so w'^e had to to the dining car where we partook of an expensive meal. Afterwards Vic toria was sick from w’hat she bad-eaten but we were inclined to think it was the price of the nieal instead. Before retiring there Avas held in our car a devotional meeting led by Mi*s. Williams. “Onward Christian Soldiers’* was sung as an opening hymn, then Dr. Brewer, president of Meredith College, in a few words told us of the Student Volunteer Ccmference which w’as held in 1014 at Kansas City. Mrs. Williams also told us of the Conference held in 1J)10 at Des Moines. Most everyone’took part in an imijressive chain of sentence prayers. When we awoke the next morning we found ourselves in Kentucky. The rear of car was occupied most of the time by some members of the party ad miring the rolling hills of the famous blue grass regions of Kentucky and the big fields of Indiana. Our train stopped in Cincinnati. Ohio about an hour. This gave us an opportunity to-observe the city and the beautiful Ohio river.
