ARMISTICE DAY 1918—1932 jHaroon mh #ol SEE AMERICAN’ PARAMOUNT THEATRE VOLUME XL ELON COLLEGE, N. C, NOVEMBER ri, 193- NUMBER 2. Dr. J. M. Rowland, Preacher- Editor And Lecturer, At Elon Tlie College faculty, students and citizens of Elon College and citizens of tlie surrounding community have a treat in store for them at Elon College this Saturday evening at eight o’clock —tlie like of which they have not yet had. Dr. J. M. Rowland, a man with un usual insight into human nature, an extensive trav'^eler and widely read, is to lecture at Elon College Chapel Satur day evening at eight 0 clock. Dr. Rowland is tbe editor of the Christian Advocate of Virginia. He has written a number of books and lectured in practically every state in the Union. He is blessed with an unusual amount of dry wit and common sense. You will have missed an opportunity that will not come in many days if you miss this one. This is what Dr. Rowland has to say about himself: I was born on the wane of the Nineteenth Century. I was raised in the country and show it. My ancestors came from England find had their own reasons for leaving. They run far back through English liistory—almost to the Flood. They were good runners—some of them run ning for office and some of them run ning from officers. They have long been Protestants and greatly enjoyed pro testing. They were noted for their patriotism, fighting in all the wars tlieir country declared and in some they declared themselves. When 1 was a boy, I wanted to be fl. Naturalist, but being so unnatural, 1 decided to be a Methodist preacher. Because I was raised on goat milk, it was thought I was enough goat to be ■Sk church editor, and they gave me the job. My choice past time is making both ends meet, and my favorite quota tion from literature is, “Enclosed find check for my subscription to the Ad vocate.’’ My writings are widely read by my wife and children. I have been thinking of starting a “Buy*A-Book Campaign,” to try to get folks who borrow my books to buy one to help jne keep out of jail, but I have been too modest. 1 was red-headed, think ing that was better than no hair at all, but before long it will be gray, but 1 £omfort myself by knowing that a German scientist has discovered that when we grow older our hair grows hungry and reaches down to find some nourishment. If it finds gray matter there, the hair turns gray, and if it finds nothing, it comes out. What some fellow editors say of Dr. Rowland: “Rev. J. M. Rowland is easily first in the M. E. Church, South, as an editorial humorist.” “Bright Angel Trail” which opens up at the brink of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, is a story with a series of gripping truths and unlike any other book ever published. Other Comments From the Christian Sun: Original ^nd unique—no ordinary man can go to ^leep reading his books. Sparks, Ga. News: “Greatly pleased full house at High School last night.” Dr. R. S. Satterfield, Oklahoma; “He knows the art of telling a story, and he knows the mountains as few men do.” The Alabama Christian Advocate: “Bright, pathetic, full of laughter. His books should be widely read.” North Carolina Christian Advocate: “Racy and brilliant.” Gov. E. Lee Trinkle, of Virginia: heard your most interesting lecture with pleasure and x>rofit. ” Western Christian Advocate: “If you start reading, you will not stop until you finish. ’ ’ Philologians Add New Members and Plan Thanksgiving Program A great deal of enthusiasm is being manifested in the work of the Philo- logian Literary Society. Three new members have been added—Belmont Griffin, Aubrey Todd, and Lanson Granger. And we are expecting to add several more by next week. The society will arrange with Dean Walker to have charge of decorations for the Thanksgiving dinner x>rogram, along with the program itself. Psiphelian Literary Society Takes In New Members The Psiphelian Literary Society held its regular weekly ' meeting Thursday night, November 3, 1932. This meeting l^roved to be a great time for the Psi- phelians, because it was the first op portunity given this year to add new members to their ranks. The ten new members taken in are follows: Mrs. Alice Corboy, Elon College; Mrs. Thyra Swint, Elon Col lege; Miss Virginia Fitzhugh, Bates- ville, Arkansas, honorary; and Ethel Truitt, Glen Raven; Eleanor Davidson, Franklinville; Marjorie Jamouneau, Irvington, New Jersey; Louise Duke, Elon College; Rhetta Newman, Wood- leigli; Margaret Bailey, Lynnhaven, Va.; and Frances Deviney, Elon Col lege, active. Several others have lined up to join at the next meeting. The society is much encouraged by the interest manifested on the part of the new members as well as by the Psiphelians of by-gone days, and hope through hard work and co-operation to make this the greatest year in the his tory of the Psiphelian Literary Society, “Blessed is the man who, having pothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact,” Bridge Party For Delta U’s The Delta Upsilon Sorority was enter tained last Tuesday evening at a de lightful bridge party given by Misses Maxine Covington and Christine Yar brough. The Covington home was attractively decorated with autumn leaves. Four tables of bridge were played, the prize tor high sftore being won by Miss Naomi Steed, and the consolation prize by Miss Mary Sue Rawls, after which a delicious salad course was served by the hostesses.

Whitman. • « • “As our dreams are, so are we; We shape in thought what soon we shape in deed, And what we daily hold within, we grow to be.” —Anonymous. It seems that a certain member of the Elonites decided that the best way to get over that funny little feeling, commonly called honie-sickness, was to go home for a wiiiie. Those who spent the past week-end at home arc as fol lows: Elizabeth Stephens, Eleanor Davidson, Doris Mills, accompanied to her home by Marjorie Jamouneau; Marth Anderson, Marguerite Cooper, Annie Tyner, Mildred Carr, Harold F'ord, W. Kimball, who was accompani ed to his home by Ralph Newman. Jape Rawls and Naomi Steed stayed over in High Point last week-end to visit friends there. What’s this about all the eye-strain among Elon College students? It must be the hardware that Lillie Kimball is flashing on her left hand I Miss Elizabeth Fleming, Mr. Robert A. Paschall, Jr., and Mr. Clifton Steed were Sunday guests of Miss Lillie Kim ball. Virginia Dare Black has as a week-end guest Mr. McBurney of V. P. L, Blacks burg, Va. It looks as if there would be no trouble for her to remain true to the Army. Miss Edna Cousins, of Durham, visit ed Esther Cole last Sunday. Marguerite Cooper had for her guest Miss Helen Turner, an alumna of Elon, for a few days last week. Miss Bertha King spent last week end with Vera Gerringer. Right many of the Elon girls and boys went to High Point Saturday af ternoon to help cheer their team to victory. Although Elon was downed by one touchdown, they enjoyed the clean, well-fought game. Those who went to High Point and supported the team were: N. White, “Red” Bailey, F. Knox, R. Gamble, E. Cole, L. Kimball, J. Boyd, I. Corbitt, M. S. Rawls, M. Chandler, F. Chandler, L. Jomes, N.

The day will be taken up with de votion, inspiring and instructive ad dresses, sight-seeing on the Guilford campus, and helpful fellowship among tlie participants. At six-thirty a ban quet will be given, to which all the representatives are looking forward.

Christians Gain Double Yardage On High Point But Fail To Score. Last Saturday afternoon Elon travel ed to High Point, accompanied by many admirers, and put on an exhibition of plucky football playing. With all its smashing line plunges and its spec tacular aerial attacks it failed to tally against the crippled High Point team who scored its first winning touchdown this year. Although Coach Walker’s team made fifteen first downs to High Point’s seven she could not score. During the first quarter it looked as if it would only be a matter of time before the Christians would begin roll ing up a score for they looked the stronger and faster of the two teams. Neither team made much headway in the skirmishes and when the whistle blew for the first period the ball was around the fifty yard line. In the second quarter Elon played purely offensive football. Ye ol’ “Web” Newsom and “Fightem Firpo” Latham began going places. When they weren't fircely charging the line they were “flinging” passes at Captain Brawley and “Dopey” Winecoff. The line was doing its share of blocking and tackling. It may be that the line tried too hard for they were penalized often for this endeavor. With about sixty seconds to play Newsom cut loose a i^ass from the thirty yard line to Brawley who neatly pickcd it out of the air and then was downed. Strengthened by the success Latham de cided on another pass, this was tried by Newsom und cumpleted by W-ai-ltoi. He was downed on the one foot line. Before Elon could run through another play which in all probability would have ended in a touchdown, the whistle blew sounding the half. In the last half both teams tried hard to put the ball in a scoring position. High Point seemed to play inspired ball and when it succeeded in completing a pass, Elon fell to the defensive. Three minutes to play and Elon found herself on its own twenty yard line because of a fifteen yard penalty imposed. Newsom tried a pass and Brying of High Point intercej^ted it and ran it to Elon’s fifteen yard line. After two trys Brying drove through the line for a touchdown. The extra point attempt failed. Elon received, went through four downs, lost the ball and incedently the game. Five substitutions were made. They were Williams, Loftus, Ef- land. Tuck, and Cox. ELON SCHEDULED FOR NEWPORT NEWS APPRENTICE SATURDAY On Saturday, November 12, when the Elonites stack up against the Ship builders at Newport News, it will mark the second meeting of these two teams. It is expected that both teams will enter the game with plenty of de termination. The Ship-builders will enter determined to avenge their de feat two years ago, when the fighting Christians turned the contest into a track meet to win with a score of forty- five to nothing. The Christians, remem bering their former victory at Newport News, will enter the game determined to roll up a high score, and thus to de fend their record in that city. It is expected to be a good game. Sky Pilots Led By Robert Kimball The Ministerial Association is headed by Robert Kimball, a very capable and consecrated young man. And the re maining officers are: Vice-President, J. Ray Dickens; Secretary, Aubrey Todd; Treasurer, Carl R. Key. Of last year’s m'inisterial group we have Robert Kimball, J. Ray Dickens, Carl R. Key, C. Ramsey Swain, Leander Mauldin, and John Gibson. And there have been added to this number four promising young men who will accom plish great things in the work of the Kingdom—as follows: Aubrey Todd, Lanson Granger, Stanley Burgess, and Erwin Hyde. Under the program outlined by the Association we hope to accomi)lish more than ever before. NOTICE, ALUMNI! We would be glad to have you send us any interesting news for “Maroon and Gold” to be printed in the space given for this purpose.
