WHAT'S WHAT
BY
WHATLEY
Congratulations to the dormitory students for their
recent victories over the day students’ softball team.
Even though the scores were not very close, they gave
no indication of the closeness of the games nor do they
tell how hard both sides fought for a chance to break
into the win column.
Well, there is a new sport added every issue, it
looks like. This time the boys have been swimming.
They were granted permission to use the army pool
during the regular physical education period. The boys
liave used the pool five times so far, and they report
that the water is more enjoyable each time. Even
“Spike” Harrell has stopped cutting physical ed. since
the boys have been swimming and playing softball.
Pvt. Eugene Preston Poe and Leon “Mennens”
Gibbs were really on the ball the other day when the
day students played the dormitory students in that
much-discussed softball game. As the dormitory stu
dents had seen Poe and Gibbs play before, they let them
play on the side of the day students. Poe surprised
everyone except himself by swatting the first pitched
ball deep into the pitcher’s box, whence he was thrown
out by Davis. On his first time at the plate, Gibbs went
down on three lusty swings; however, he made up for
it on his next appearance by driving a deep fly to short
stop.
Davis, why do you and Poe cut classes in order to
play tennis beside Ladies Hall? Is it to show off your
manly physiques, or don’t you get enough exercise? I
know it couldn’t be because you get bored with class.
What are athletics going to be like next year? Well,
we can only wait and see, but the students at Elon
should have a lot of fun with intercollegiate sports re
turning to the campus. Here’s hoping there are enough
boys on the campus to play football. That seems a
large order with so few on the campus this year, but
maybe it will happen. Anyway, just wait till next year.
See you in September!

HEY
The Gang’s All Here
Elon Soda Shop
By GENE POE
Once when we had a bad cold we
asked about thirty different people for
a cure and we got thirty different
remedies.
Not so long ago a man asked a num
ber of different people what to do
to get ahead in the world and each
time he received a different reply.
Most of them were worth remember
ing so we give them to you for what
they may be worth.
First . . . Learn to laugh. A good
laugh is better than medicine.
Second . . . Learn to tend to your
own business.
Third . . . Learn to tell a story. A
well told story is as welcome as a
sunbeam.
Fourth . . . Learn the art of saying
kind and encouraging things.
Fifth . . . Learn to avoid all ill-nat
ured remarks and everything likely to
create friction.
Sixth . . . Learn to keep your trou
bles to yourself.
The world is too busy to care for
your ills and sorrows.
The last and extremely important
one is . . . L.*arn to greet your friends
with a smile. They carry too many
aches in their own hearts to be both
ered with any of yours.

On Wednesday, May 3, the dormi
tory students’ softball team defeated
the day students by the score of 8 to
1. Davis, the campus students’ pitch-
I er, held the day students to four
scratch hits while Stanford, the day
students’ pitcher, was touched at will
by the opposing batters. The campus
students took advantage of every op
portunity and turned most of their
hits into runs.
For the dormitory students, Regis
ter and Taylor were outstanding in the
outfield while Shannon Morgan did an I
ai’le job of holding down the hot cor
ner at third base. Franks and Weston
were the leaders of the day students
team with Marlett and Walker provid
ing the spark for the outfit.
