16 FSESHMEN! ! CAPS OFF TO YOUR PROFS. UNTIL AFTER THE SERIES OF MONTHLY TESTS. jHaroon anb #olt “OH, HOW SHE CAN SING!” IF YOU HAVEN'T BOUGHT A CONCERT TICKET ORDER ONE AT ONCE. VOLUME X. ELON COLLEGE, N. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1928. NUMBER 10. Miss Suzanne Keener To Appear Here October 15 7ersatile Star of the National Broad casting and Concert Bureau will Ap pear at Whitley Auditorium, Octo ber 15th. A little blonde-hairod girl with wide blue eyes, wlio'se diminutive clothes were neat but of inferior quality, not BO many years ago in Pittsburgh, stood in a public school playground and made a startling announcement to her better- dressed playmates. “I don’t care how I look or what happens to me now,” she said defiantly. “Because someday I’m going to sing before thousands of people and wear beautiful dresses with lots of lace and ribbons.” With the enielty of childhood, her small companions laughed and taunted her. She was just Suzie Keener, who I'ad come to Pittsburgh from Latrobe, Peiiua.. and had to wear modest clothes because her parents weren’t rich. But little Snzie Keener, even as she had so childishly prophesied, emerged from the drabness of her schooldays, like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, until today she is known from coast to coast as “The Exquisite Suzanne.” Today she has sung before thousands of people, deligliting them with her beautiful coioraturo soprano voice both during the three seasons she was with the Metropolitan Opera Co., and in lier subsequent concert career. The longing of the little girl for beau tiful gowns developed into an almost uncanny tnlent for dress designing. Suzanne, today, originates all the cos tumes she uses—and they are recogniz ed as among the most unusual and en chanting in the concert woTld. Suzanne, versatile star of the Na tional Broadcasting & Concert Bureau, will appear at Whitley Auditorium on Tuesday evening, October 9th as the opening number on the Alamance Coun tv Concert Course. BELOVED ELON STUDENT PASSES AWAY SEPTEMBER 26 The untimely death of Miss Margaret Curtiss on September twenty-sixth is genuinely mourned by a large circle of friends among both faculty and students of Elon College. Miss Curtiss was made head reporter of the Maroon and Gold staff and was recognized as a leader in her relation ship to other groups on the campus. With the loss of Miss Curtiss we feel that one of the most promising young persons of the campus has passed on to the Great Beyond.

On Thursday afternoon, September 27, the girls and lady faculty members bade good-bye to cares and worries and went to Moonelon for a Y. W. C. A. picnic. At first, the Freshmen were depressed by the presence of the Sophs, but they joined in a hearty yell for Y. W. C. A. just before they left the campus. Forming a' long liue, all proceeded to the appointed rendez-vous where tho fun began . Wide-eyed and wondering Freshmen watched some of the upper classmen as they began gathering kindling for a regular camp fire. Only a short time, and the Freshmen were duly initiated into this work and were stimulated by the odor of the coffee that was soon boiling. Very quickly the big fire was started and sticks for roasting weiners were much in evidence. For the second time that afternoon, a line of march was formed. This time, when the march was finished each girl had her hands filled with rolls, weiners, sandwiches, and pickles. There was a rush for the fire, and soon there was a lull in the conversation as every one became interested in eating ‘ ‘ hot dogs.” Any one will tell you of various cases of aches and pains that came as a result of the enormous number of hot dogs (Continued on Page 3) ELON STUOENTS DOING PmCTICE TEHCHING Several of the Elon seniors are doing practice teaching at the Elon High School. This practice has been of in estimable value to others who have al ready gone into the teaching profession. 1: is a veritable laboratory of real work in teaching. Seniors who take this work, will no doubt, go out into the world better prepared to meet the vari ous class-room problems. OELTA 0 GIRLS ARE CHARMINGLY ENTERTAINED Friday evening the Delta U girls were charmingly entertained in the home of Miss Wautel Lambeth.' Delightful refreshments, consisting of chicken salad, saltines, pimento sand wiches, hot chocolate, pineapple sher- bert, cake and peanuts, were most heartily enjoyed by all present. Those present were: Misses Doll C'nderwood, Lois McAdams, Ann Rawles, Birdie Rowland, Johnnie Sharpe, Chris tine Wicker, Belle Wicker, Lila New man, Gwendolyn Patton, a former mem ber, Alma Kimball, and Wautel Lambeth. PROFESSOR GUILLET IS AUTHOR OF A BOOK OF ‘ TALKS TO STUDENTS-’ “Talks to Students about God and Life” is tlie name of a book recently published by the professor of French at Elon and on sale in the college book store. These talks were given by the {)rofcssor while a member of the faculty 01 Alfred University. The book deals with two subjects of vital interest:^ religion and business, which according to the author, arc two sides of the same thing, namely the eo'iuluct of life. But he thinks that very often the connection between the avowed religious beliefs and services and the every day (‘onduct is not very ap parent. The writer has been gratified by the reception the book has met with. A considerable number of copies have been sold in Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Oberlin, William and Mary, Stanford, Alfred, S'.f.i.'thniOre, Wes leyan, Wellesley, Hampton Institute, Oregon, and many other colleges. The Columbia University book-store has sold forty copies. Many have written the professor very heartily about the book, including several who had been worry ing about religion, wrote: “I read yoiir book with the joy of one who has been rejuvenated.” The President of the Texas Christian University wrote: “Your talks are a very vital message to Students.” Singularly enough a Presbyterian minister, a Methodist min ister and author, and a Roman Catholic professor and author used the very same words: “I have found your Talks both interesting and stimulating.” A wo man, herself an author, wrote: “The great message to me has been its search ing and lovely social vision.” The paper cover of the little book is attractively designed by the author’s wife, who is at the head of the “Art in the Home” department in the charity known as “Christadora House” in New York City. Miss Placyde Thompson, Durham, N. C., a former student here, was on the Hill for the week-end.

Columbia University Calls Former Elon Student MTSS STELLA M, JORDAN SPEAKS AT ELON Miss Stella M. Jordan, of Boston, Mass., spoke at the evening hour in our auditorium Sunday, September 30.

PLANS CRAPEL PROGRAMS The committee on Chapel Exercises has arranged some very interesting and worth-while chapel programs. Topics that are of vital interest are discussed by both faculty and students. Professor Van Cleave spoke on “Orderliness” last week. He stated that orderliness marks the educated and the busy man. “We do not do many tilings that we would like to do, simply because we live haphazard lives. We alln-v^* o’.ir lives to become haphazard and then we are slaves to confusion and the ‘I-intended-to’ habit.” Order liness makes for peace and harmony as well as for accomplishment. Professor White, for nine years a missionary in Porto Rico, discussed “The Call to the Foreign Field” on last MoTfday morning. “We come to (Continued on Page 3) Dr. H. Shelton Smith, a Graduate of Elon College, to Head the Department of Religious Edu cation at Columbia Univessity. Dr. Smith Is Considered One of the South’s Leading Educators. Elon College, Oct. 2.—Teachers Col lege of Columbia University has just made an announcement that is of pecu liar interest to Elon College. A year ago last January, Dr. George Albert Coe, who had served as head of the Depart ment of Religious Education in Teachers College since instruction in that depart ment had been undertaken in Columbia University, retired from his position, and since then Columbia has been searching for a successor to Dr .Coe. Announcement has just been made that Dr. II. Shelton Smith, a native of Guilford County, N. C., of the Hines' Chapel Community and a graduate of Elon. College, has been appointed to this position, his duties to begin Janu* ary 1, 1929. Dr. Smith has eminent qualifications for this important position which is regarded by educators and religious educators alike as one of strategic in fluence in America. Teachers College exerts more influence perhaps on the professional teaching in America than any other single institution, and it is natural to expect that its department of Religious Education will exert cor responding influence in this new depart ment of the general field of Education. Dr. Smith after his graduation from Elon entered Yale University from which he was graduated with the Ph. D. degree six years ago. He became im mediately director of Administration and Leadership Training for the Gen eral Convention of the Christian Church, being particularly related to the Board of Christian Education. At the end of one year in this position he (Continued on Page 4) D. W. SHEPHERD, PRESIDENT OF Y. M. C. A., CALLS MEETING PAN HELLENIC COUNCIL ELECTS NEW OFFICERS W, P. Lawrence Elected President.
