Some times we complain about not
having enough copy to go to press
with, but we shouldn’t—not after what
we saw the other day. We ran across
a paper printed here about three years

in abundance: and yet, one week the
paper came out and almost half the
front page was a dedicationto the

paper was apologies for not having

time ago, every man brought out the

mostly the elbow grease and worked
over the floors and furniture of the

gone and most of the varnish too. Old

might add it was extremely thought- '

It was a special treat to see the
girls’ Physical Ed class have to go on
the double while parading the other
day. The cadets happened along right
behind them, so Lt. Edna Rumley
houted the advance on the double.
That seems to be about all for this
time so the old Pencil-Pushing Scribe,
bids you adieu.
Here it is 6:45 in the morning, and
out of bed you come. It isn’t time to
get up: just that early train passing
through. Back to bed you go—but
only to get up again because the alarm
clock is ringing. In the wash room
you go to wash the soot off your face
with good hot water. Are you kiddin’?
We haven’t had any hot water for
weeks—well, maybe not quite that
bad. Sometimes its thar, like gold in
the mountains. Prospect, Buddy, pros

That’s what they think. They take

where they left it when they ree-tired

' Day Student Doolings*
THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
HI YA! NICE PEOPLE!
“PEE WEE“ WESTON
Ya! All getting along fine? If so
why? This is me writing and I’m
gonna tell you a little about the day
students. Yep. the Day Students are
those people that come (driving?) up
I in the morning making a lot of noise
' and most of them late for class.
I First we’ll look at means of convey-
; ance they use to get here. Some walk,
others take the bus, and the rest of
them come in (cars?)
About the most outstanding car of
all is a neat, speedy, green convertible
limousine, owned by Bunk Satterfield,
about the only thing that tin car hasn’t
done is explode. (Mine even does
that). There are quite a few other
traps, but they all are pretty nice ex
cept for a maroon and tan, Chrysler
club coupe that looks like and
runs that way too. Wendell "Goah”
Isley, please note!
These day students are a funny lot
buf*they’re the finest bunch of fellows
and girls you could ever meet. May
be youd be interested in learning
something about them as individuals
so we’ll tell you a little about two very
nice ones, a boy and a girl.
For the girl we’ll whisper in your
ear about Mis Faye Younger. Faye
is about 5’ 2”, has deep brown eyes,
and dark brown hair. (That’s enough
description). She has made a really
outstanding record for herself. She
was one of the foremost scholars dur
ing her high school career, president
of the student body, and graduated
with the highest honors possible. Faye
likes music, both sweet and hot, and
she likes to dance. She is a most in
quisitive person and anything new in
terests her. So we say, “Hats off” to
Miss Faye Carolyn Younger.
Now the boy. One of the swellest
and yet craziest fellows in the male
Day Students group is L. W. “Shiek”
Riley. For him everything goes. He’s
I as much fun as a barrel of monkeys
and sometimes comes pretty close to
being one. (Excuse please). He’s a
smooth dancer and one of the few
[ jitterbugs. His preference for music
I is hot. With B. Steed and G. Satter-
I field he helped put on the biggest
Student assembly program of the year
now; as for girls—Shiek prefers
blondes, brunettes and brown-haired
angels. Looking up his former record
we find he rates tops and he’s still up
there in our little black book.
Speaking for the Day Students this
little column will continue, (we hope),
so let us in on what you want to know
and we’ll do our best to find our for
you. Keep smiling always. ’Bye for
now.
In a survey we found the subject
of physics has been taught at Elon
College since the beginning of the in
stitution in 1890.
I Between the years of 1890 and 1915
only one course was offered per year.
Since 1915 a major has been offered
I in the department of physics.
I With the advent of the 325th Col
lege Training Detachment of the
I United States Army Air Forces it was
j necessary to increase the faculty in
the department of physics. The CTD
curriculum requires more hours in
I this field than any other one sub
ject.
Below is a Ifct of teachers of physics
^ at Elon College:
1890-95 Profesaor
1890-94, President W. S. Leng, Bible

Sciences (including Physics).
1899-04, Professor P. J. Kernodle,
Commercial, Astronomy and Physics.
1904-09, Dr. W. C. Wicker, Natural
Sciences.
1904-14. Dr. N. F. Brannock, Chem
istry and Physics.
1914-15, D. T. C. Amick, Mathe

1915, Professar A. L. Hook, Physics.
At the present time, in addition to
Professor Hook, the following teach
