\ SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1944 MAROON AND GOLD PAGE THREE ^DJuthSisipi& Old BY By PRIVATE GENE POE Many of you probably expected to see the above name appear this time and sure enough it did. We kinda picked names at random before, but it seems that this time we riit the nail on the head, as the old expression goes. This is not going to be an obituary, as somf“ of vou miglft predict, but as much like the rest of the things of this nature as possible. Tt is true that this is the last one we’ll be writing for you, but who minds saying good bve and going to war? Lucky Strike green went to war and the country wa': better off. Now for a little dirt here and there. Iris Westbrook and Evelyn Harelson handed us a lively bit of poetry the other day. Hope yoti like it too. Vr'e love to eat We love to sleep It's hard to tell, But we guess we might as well. A sandwich before bed satisfies, For the simple reason, We have been fed. I Yes, it’s a habit And a bad one we must say. Hefore we go to bed we eat and then we pray. (We hope we don’t get sick.) At last that final moment has ar rived and the Phi Psi Cli is in our hands. ' Now we can go around asking oiir little friends to write a forget-me- j not on its covers. ] We were once told that a news ar ticle is like a woman’s skirt. Long enough to cover the subject and short eough to make it interesting. Haven’t we just about reached that point by ow? / The saddest part of it all is that we haven’t anything else to say so we leave you with this. It’s been “fas tidious” knowing everyone of you; we wish you health, happiness, and pros perity, and here’s hoping it won’t be ong before we can come back for a visit and shake a few hands and tell you how much we have missed you; and we really will. Yours—soon to be—“G. 1.” Joe Poe. CTD SLANT "Day Student Doolings ’ By T. D. O’CONNOR Two-fifty kaydets, sittin’ on a fence. Comes a few graduations, their num ber’s not so dence; Then went the pre-service men, fine chans, too, After them the gunners, so now we’re very few . . . You wonder why they kept us? We don’t like to boast. But the latest rumors say it’s because - we eat the most! * * * With the departure of Matt Musial this CQlumn has now entered its own Age of Darkness. Matt knew all about BY “PEE WEE” WESTON If you’ve heard tliis one before, read it and grin again. A young Negro draftee had been the victim of so many practical jokes he began to doubt all men and their motives. One night while he was on guard duty the figure of an officer loomed in the darkness. “Halt, who goes tha?” challenged the Negro. “Major Moses,” came the reply.^ The soldier sensed a joke. “Ad vance. Moses, and give the Ten Com mandments.” Thanks (Esquire.) Seems like this year really went like greased lightning and Riley s Ford. That wasn’t bad te have been writ ten on an empty stomach was it? Did you hear about the boy who told his girl friend he went with her against his better judgment, but he couldn’t hold better judgment in his arms? Well he did, and she made a crack bat at hirh. (CENSORED.) Wc just couldn’t print what she said. Many congrats to Grace Towery on the handsome picture of Jimmy that ■ she received the other day. Shorty, we almost forgot you. Congrats on the picture of “Weinnie.” The art gallery should be full of color by now. I Well, Chandler, you and Jaunita | are up to par. Doesn’t the moon j shine bright after 8 o'clock these j nights? Some got it’and some ain’t. It seems that Joe Zaidy has got it, and bad. That man of her’s, Jimmy, really gets special attention. She writes him and calls him enough to make any man feel like a king. He must be an all right fellow to get so much atten tion. O'Kelly, that famed monument of Elon, got another little trip last Sat urday night. It has broken a record this year in moving from its resting place to Society Hall then to' the front porch of Ladies Hall. The entire staff and all those mak ing contribution to the COLON NADES deserve a hand on the splen did work done on the little book this year. It proved that talent is not just another word on this campus. DAVIS PITCHES COLLEGE BOYS TO WIN OVER AIR CORPS In an interesting twilight game played on May 11 before a small group of spectators the Elon College civilian students defeated a softball team com posed of Army Air Students, 4-2. The civilian students collected 12 hits while the Air Corps boys were held to 5. Davis starred on the mound for the college boys, and while sti iking out 9 men collected 4 base knocks to lead his team at the plate. MacDonald ied the Air Corps students in the field, but his mates w'ere well taken care of by Davis’ superb hurling. Each team •layed loosely and errors were fre quent on both sides, the college boys maliing 3 errors and the Air Corps a like number.

BUY A AT THE COLLEGE BOOKSTORE Stories and Poems by l^eacham, Far rell,Violet Hoffman A-S T. D. Q’Gonnor, Steed, and others. We've been flying. Yep. all of us. And it’s great fun. Or would be, if it weren’t for the instructors . . . * ♦ * Since there are so few of us left, maybe you’ll bear with us in our j rather clumsy effort to mention every-1 one in this week’s issue . . .Relax, now. It 11 be over-in a minute. We ll start with the Major, a lad named O'Keefe, Honest and upright, but not long on beef, Speaking of that, we present Mister Burrows, And just for a rhyme, we'll run in Moraros, That's not fair to Mike, but'he'll un derstand. Bill Fyffe is Lieutenant, works hard at it, too, V/itness his records, he’s gigged not a few; O’Connor is next, the less said the better. As Gaelic a guy as an old Irish setter, P’helan is bugler, we can’t write what * we think About him and his bugle, but gosh, what a st ! Normoyle, they tell me, is considered quite cute. By the USO girls, (they’re not hard to suit.) , Don Martin seems handy at this flying ! game, i But considers Physics a sin and a I shame; I Marziale's from Brooklyn; if not, he ! should be, , Complete to the accent, he loves “a j boid in a tree.” W'e're also blessed with that Latin j lover, I Dominick Massa, he works best under j j cover; { j His partner in crime is Marv Mary- | I anov, Too bad w'e don't know much about him to tell of; When they took fiis trombone, Chester Mapes was quite sore. He didn’t ^now then it was for the good of the Corps; Campbell's the quiet type, there’s one in each group, Mercer is not ... so he stays in the soup— Maguire is moody, perhaps he’s got a lot on his mind. Or maybe his troubles are just under- Lyne-d; If you’re interested in athletes, Mechliiig's your man. But not calisthenics, he’s no P.

We think there's one more, but he shouldn’t give tongue. He’s better off un-mentioned, unhon- ored, unsung. ♦ * + The May Queen was very pretty, but! we die hard. We still think Little Or- | der Arms deserved the honor. * * j Some of our recent -evacuees have | returned to the scene of their former .1 iumphs lately. S£rgeants Ricker and Bragg, Pfcs Musial, Malone, Rother- niel among others.. * * * We always have trouble saying goodbye . . . But not this time. We’re running out of paper. We ran out of ideas in 1933 ... So long. We have to see a man about a gig . . . somewhat undecided, but if the big wind comes the Marines is their choice. M. E. and Ralph are plan ning for the service next fall. Several others plan to enter from June on out. Even some of the girls are planning to enter the services of Uncle Sam. Some plan for the Nurses Corps; others will try for government jobs. So this calls for the best of luck to all these swell ! people and may they be tops as G. I. ' Joes. Kadets, and Kadet Nurses. Riley also drives a Ford, now. It seems his father traded a car and ended up with a “Tin Can,” so he let “Shiek” drive it. His first trip, Bur lington to Elon, was uneventful ex cept for the fact that his brakes didn’t work, the car smelled of oil, and the inside was in a continual dust storm. After two or three tries at stopping in front of Alamance, he finally ran along the curbing and Lizzy stopped. (Thank Goodness). That night the car stopped of its own accord. How does it feel to push, “Shiek?” Satterfield also made some improve ments. He took off the two oversize ropes he had on the back of his car and went back to the tubes, but with a nifty paint job on his wheels, end ing up with nice white-sidewalled tires. (His car still putts on four cyl inders.) There is a very hot rivalry among Shiek, Bunk, and Joe for the atten tion of a certain girl, and it seems like Stanford and Walker are running off with the laurels. Better get to work,, fellows. “Extra Special Announcement.” Due to circumstances that are com pelling, there is a really jambo pro gram coming up for Chapel Monday. It promises to be one of the very best of the year. If you don’t come, you’ll be sorry cuz you’ll miss all the fun. YOU especially are invited. Well, seems like this is about all for a while. Sure do hope you’ve liked some of this corn and maybe it brought you at least a little grin. It’s been grand writing for such extra- nice swell people and such an extra swell paper. ’Bye, now, and Bouquets, to all of you.
