NEW ORGANIZATION IS FORMED!
WAR PRODUCTION TRAINING
AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS
Well, it’* all over for another year
now. The May Day or Play Day, as it
was on our campus, was a long-await
ed affair, and passed off successfully
and happily for everyone. We give a
big hand to the May Court for looking
go good as they sat on the throne in
all their royal dignity under Senior
Oak.
It seems that all the girls around
Ladies Hall (or do you spell it with an
"e”?) really go in for nicknames. The
best yet is Mary Alice “I Left My
Conversation at Home” Tl^ompson,
Jean "Waist Line” Cooper, and Fran
ces “Flatback” Haley.
We wonder why Betty Jean Hendry
and Lavina Swink were here over the
week-end in such a big way. My, but
the cadets have caused some changes
to be made. But it could be because
Saturday was Play Day.
The words of Pud D’Antonio to the
press concerning his plans for the
future are, “I expect to be drafted,
but if not, I will teach school some
where in Pennsylvania.” The words
of his dear friend, Sal Festa, went like
this: "I will be drafted July 6th, and
I plan to be a second lieutenant over
Pvt. D’Antonio ‘over there.’” Isn't
Ic nice how their love for each other
is so balanced?
Jimmy "Have You Got a Ciga
rette ” Boone had two swell fellows
visiting him last week-end. In fact,
there was quite a disturbance among
the femmes over which girl should
date the handsome blonde from Caro
lina.
Our lovable Mrs. Phillips certainly
expressed her thoughts in a fashion
able manner when she saw the cadets
marching to class the other day,
■ Now, aren't they cute?”
How goes it with you now, Bryant,
since your one and only went to Hills
boro? Too bad she did not stay on
in Burlington since there is a gas
shortage.
We know how Elon must have
looked thirty years ago since Woodie
Walker rides around town in his T-
model.
Girls, have you noticed the wonder
ful sun tan Chuck Batton has ac
quired? He is really the pride of our
tennis courts.
Isn’t it inspiring the way Chink
Spivey gets around? He gives all the
lads a bit of competition.
Vic Strader and John Barber were
on campus this past week-end. They
are both in the army now, and they
really look handsome in their uni
forms.
Is Rethel Grimes as sure of his
romance now as he was a few weeks
ago, or is he just playing the field?
We wonder what the outcome will be.
Well, Pritchard, did you catch cold
last Sunday night out in the rain?
We trust that your efforts to get to
Burlington were not in vain.
Just • minute, Betty Co-ed and Joe
College We'd like to tell you why
you wear some of the style creations
you have. A good many college-born
fashions are accidents. For instance,
there is the case of the student who
wore a pair of grey flannel trousers
with a brown twc^d jacket simply be
cause his brown tweed trousers were
ripped. It was as simple as that. Pre
sumably he belonged to a strong fra
ternity and could hold his own on the
dance floor. Anyhow, the combina
tion went over; men everywhere liked
the idea of the odd jacket, and it be
came an institution. And for you,
Betty Co-ed, the same is true about
skirts, sweaters, and jackets.
Well, gang, this is the last issue of
this publication this year. We have
enjoyed our whole year here, and espe
cially have we enjoyed sharing our
thoughts, if such they can be called,
with you under “Youth Steps Out.
Here’s hoping we are *11 back together
next year except you, of course. Dear
Seniors. And to you we wish all the
success possible in your future under
takings.
COUNCIL REVISES RULES
Elon, ever the birthplace of the
new, has come forth with another
first. Some nights ago, In the wee,
small hours of the night, in the room
of one of its staunchest charter mem
bers, this newest brotherhood held its
first meeting, drew up its consti
tution, swore itself in in the most sol
emn manner to its creed and constitu
tion, and declared itself in fraternity
and unity forever. Thus the Draft
Dodgers club was bom.
The whole of the requirements for
membership In this sacred organiza
tion are, of course, undisclosed, but It
is rumored from reliable sources that
the pledgee must have an educational
deferment from his gullible draft
board. No reservists will be admitted!
For further information see the mem
bership committee composed of Jo
seph (this limp ain’t really real)
Whitaker. Clyde (I’ve been pretty
lucky so far) McKenzie, Herman (just
wait, they’ll offer me a commission)
Spivey, and Rethel (they’ll never get
me) Grimes, who is also, it is rumored.
Treasurer and Flunkie of the Exalted
Order. Publishing House, which is a
hotbed (but still we have no hot water)
of the new and erratic, has come to
the front again!
KEEPING UP WITH THE ARMY

BOOK CLUB MEMBERS
MAKE BANDAGES
Elon College Book Club, of which
Mrs. J. D. Messick is president, has
discontinued its regular monthly
meeting for the present, and the mem
bers are meeting each time at the
home of Miss Ann Watson to make
surgical dressings for the Red Cross.
Up until the time the group began
its Red Cross work, it had interest
ing and educational programs given
by various members of the organiza
tion each month.
Mrs. Winnie Walden, N. Y. A. Field
Representative, and Mr. Larsen of the
War Manpower Commission, talked
to the seniors last -week concerning
positions open to them in the war pro
duction program.
This NYA War Production program
provides young men and women with
practical work experiences and on-
the-job training in occupations essen-
tian to war production and in which
there is a present or potential short
age of labor. These occupations in
elude machine shop, welding, radio and
electrical, woodworking, aircraft me
chanics, mechanical drafting, and air
craft sheet metal. The object of the
program is to train -between 350,000
and 400,000 youths, during the cur
rent year, for strategic jobs in im
portant defense plants.
NYA training is carried out on the
job in workshop units located in com
munities throughout the United
States. Each of the shops is set up
along industrial lines and is a unit
where actual production work is per
formed. This makes it possible to
train youth under the same condi
tions which they will experience when
they go Into private industry.
While employed in an NYA war
production training workshop, each
young man or woman is an active reg
istrant with the United States Em
ployment Service, which maintains
contact with war industries and jjlaces
the trainees in industry when their
training is completed. Anyone who
is interested should contact Mrs. Wal
den at 314 Watson Building in Greens
boro.
MR. ROBINSON RECEIVES
SURPRISE OF A LIFETIME
Mr. Robin.son, beloved life saver
and linotype operator of this classic
journal, was standing on the highway
waiting for a bus Wednesday when
suddenly an airplane drove up in
front of him and stopped. The driver
hopped out and asked the way to the
Burlington airport. It seems he had
lost his way.
Sounds exciting, doesn’t it? Just
imagine an airplane driving up in
front of you. But it doesn’t sound
quite so phenomenal when you leam
that the driver hopped out of a truck
and not a cockpit, and that the plane
was on a trailer pulled by the truck.
We had you fooled, didn’t we?
LOADWICK GIVES RECITAL
Professor Frederick C. Loadwick,
tenor, gave a recital Sunday after
noon, in which songs were sung in
Italian, French, German, and English.
Professor Loadwick opened his pro
gram with two songs by Carissimi, the
17th century Italian composer, and
concluded the recital with four songs
by English and American composers.
The numbers Professor Loadwick
sang represented the very best in song
and literature, and his clear diction
and pure lyric quality made the pro
gram an enjoyable one from start to
finish. Miss Lila LeVan accompanied
Loadwick and also played a piece by
Chopin and one by Dohnanyi during
intermission.
Professor Loadwick will leave Elon
and be inducted into the armed serv
ice May 26.
The Aviation Students at Elon Col
lege are staging a variety show next
week, for the benefit of you Elonites,
as well as the Pre cadets. The gen
eral opinion being; Let us do some
thing which, we trust, will show our
appreciation for the good times you
have shown us.
The new variety show has an all-
star experienced cast and is on the
same order as the smash hit “Hellza-
poppin.” It’s dubbed “Gigs-a-poppin.”
(For the benefit of you who don’t
know what a gig is, it will be suffi
cient to say that it’s something which
leads to a long walk.) The script is
already written — Mr. Shavin credit
along these lines—and rehearsals have
begun. It is a take-off on army life,
of our experiences from Keesler Field,
Miss., to Elon College, N. C. Included
will be original songs by Ben Purvin,
Normy Morris, and Arny Pearlstein,
Mike Ocean doing a few parodies. It
will be remembered that Ben and
Arny had a hand in “On De Ball”—the
hit song at the Burlington dance. This
time they offer “I Wanna Fly,” and
"Hot Time at Elon Tonight.”
Vinnie Murhpy, our smiling Irish
man, is in charge of songs, and will
also do a bit of vocal work on the side.
Nat Kutner, the ‘‘Brooklyn Romeo,’
and Dave “Rachel” Morgan collabo-
lated on what they hope will be a
smash hit. “Wanted” is their number
—keep an eye open for It.
By the way, who is this Ruby B
that’s making Mr. “K” look the way
he does?
That man with the million-dollar
smile—and teeth—Oscar Margolies,
will give us all a rare treat by acting
and dancing. Perhaps you southern
gals and fellows don’t know what real
“jitterbugging” is—well, this is the
time to find out!

Elon Soda Shop
Jack Savoy entertains at the piano,
and an orchestra has been formed.
“Chuck” Haggerty (thtop it, thilly)
will do a few numbers. Mr. Haggerty
once sang over a coast-to-coast hook
up in New York, so he can’t be very
bad.
The pony chorus promises to be
the hit of the show. Student captains
Pillon and Royster will give all you
glamor girls a real break; they’re in
tlie front line, and can compete with
any of you, with their shapely legs.
“Bugle Boy” Ed Melia, Bonnie’s heart-
throb—has a rare treat in store which
can't be divulged. The male chorus
is supervised by Seymour Newman,
assisted by Leon Schneider. Ask
Alene, Musette R’s roommate, about
“Killer” Newman.
Bert Obrentz is in charge of the
staging end. The scenery will be
limited, nothing extensive, and will
be furnished by the college. The cos
tumes, on the other hand, will be far
from limited, as they’re to be supplied
by the Elon co-eds. (And the co-eds
are certainly on de ball!)
Mr. Jay Schafaran is in charge of
production while the editor of “Air
Elon,” Bill Sanders, capably directs.
So, come one, come all to the gala
show with songs, dances, skits, and
gags galore. The aviation students
will close the school year for you with
a BANG!
SENIORS FROM HIGH SCHOOL
GUESTS OF COLLEGE
Members of the senior class at the
Elon High School were guests of the
college and Congregational-Christian
church at its regular morning wor
ship service last Sunday. ’
Mr. Terrell, principal of the high
school, read the Scripture, and Dr.
L. E. Smith preached the sermon.
Parents of the students and members
of the high school faculty were pres
ent.
The class held its annual class exer
cises Tuesday night at 8:00 combin
ing with it the graduation exercises
and the presentation of the diplomas.
TRUE TO THEIR
The Girls' Council, at its regular
weekly meeting Wednesday, revised
several of the dating rules followed
by the girls on the campus. It was
decided that girls might date as far
as the wall until 8:30 o’clock in the
evening, and that they could date as
far as Senior Oak on those evenings
when they could remain out after 8.
The army officials and the adminis
trative committee decided that the Air
Crew Students might socialize with the
co-eds from 7 to 7:30 Wednesday eve
nings. It has also been decided that
girls who wish to go to Burlington or
Greensboro with air cadets must first
have permission from their parents.
