Coach Hendrickson’s fast stepping Christians were the sole possessors of the North State Conference
Championship in 1938. The main reason for tlie success of the Christian was the all-around play of the entire
team and the ability of Lloyd Whitley, Captain Hal Bradley, and Ike Fes mire to hit the basket. The team

“JOLTED & JARRED”
Just between you and me, students,
I don’t think the editor and or the
faculty adviser of the MAROON AND
GOLD are of a very sympathetic na
ture because they've “asked” (?) me
to write this little bit for the paper.
Because most journalists are slightly
on the “odd” side, I think it best if we
bear with them. But so you won’t get
all of the burden, you just bear with
me and I’ll “tolerate” them! And
more than likely thinks will go from
SNAFU to FUBAR—or worse.
Like all of the many students and
“residents” of Elon who manage to
make a periodic pilgrimage back, I
am glad to be “home.” In fact. I’m
very glad—because, it was colder than
blue blazes up North.
Although personally I am glad to
be back mooching cokes, etc., in the
bookstore, or going downtown and
looking into an empty mail box sev
eral times a day, or forgetting to go
to chapel, or wondering what hap
pens to the food before it goes to
the table, or watching other people
study and go to classes, I can’t vouch
for some of you. Now you take Dr.
Smith (for example): For sometime
now I have earnestly been trying to
“convince” him I didn’t put that mule
in Alamance Hall, or the cow in the
library; or throw those bags of water
out of North, or try to lead the
students in numerous “revolts”; or
start “petitions,” or scare freshmen
home or even cut the hair of outstand
ing freshmen.
Even after all these “years,” I can’t
“convince” him or several other':
