Freshman Orientation is full of tra
ditions. One of the oldest annual
events is the Faculty Reception, this
having been a custom since the days
of the Graham Normal school, fore
runner of Elon College. The fresh

ferent this year—is nothing new

campus. The traditional freshman

was a little late this year, and this ac

most of the pajamas. Freshman name

Because of curtailment of production
again this year, there will be no '•skull
caps” such as those which freshmen
more of our fine Elon men who are j ^ required to wear
now in Atlanta Dental College can
visit us soon also.
From a bystander s point of view »t
appears that Harvey Rawls and John
Rossi are about the only drape-shape
toys left around. What has happened
to Shiek? Could it be that he has
changed his taste?
Is there a person on campus who
can hold Betty Benton a likeness for
rot liking so many things? Honest
she isn’t all that bad but what a fit
she i« going to give some man.
What will >Ve do when Spike and
Leon leave? Yes, both of them say
their days are numbered with us. but
we hope they have a long time yet.

“The way to a man's heart is
through his nose,^” declared Miss Iva
Goodskin. the charming owner and
general manager of Youth's Bloom
Cosmetic Company. In a recent in
terview, And that bit of philosophy
has netted Miss Goodskin a sizable
fortune, for her company is one of
the largest of its kind, with salons in
all the leading cities of the world.
Through her speialization in per-
lumes she has made America consci
ously discriminating in choice of
jdors. “Certain odors revive memor
ies, while others stir the imagination.”
Mjss Goodskin explained. “And we
create cosmetics for both purposes
Of course, some of them are not to
be applied, only smelled." she added
“For instance, we have an ‘Essence
of Virginia Ham' for any who might
be away from a home in the Old Do
minion."
Miss Goodskin, generous of her
time, although never for a moment

was to dine with the Duke of Clov-

As an incidental note, the presi
dent of the freshman clsas—and it's
always been a boy—never failed to re
ceive a free haircut from some un
known barber.

girls sat on opposite sides of the | pany-g products, some of them the
classroom and when boys were not|niore romantic ones. Her eyes glow
Just settled myself down for a few
moments' rest on one of those big
comfy chairs in the Day Student Par
lor and things started coming to my
mind. The Day Students' Room can
be an interesting place . . . but as
I was saying before I interrupted my
self, the things you do learn. For
instance, we wonder how and why Joe
"Prince Charming” Franks got his
conceit hurt? Say. Lem. have you no
ticed those wings Dale is sprouting
these days? Pretty, aren’t they? And
tell me, Dale . . . what happened to
your class ring? You haven't been
wearing it lately.
Congratulations, Edna, Iris, and
Joe, on winning your tennis matches.
You all played fine games, and we'll
oe in the finals yet.
The Day Students haven’t made
much of a showing in the volley-
oall games, but they aren’t over, and
A-e'll get going soon.
In case you haven't heard, you’re
all invited to a Halloween party on
Tuesday night. The fun begins with
dinner in the dining hall, and con
tinues with volleyball, and skits by
each class in the gym afterwards.
Even the faculty has a skit. You
know you can't afford.to miss that,
so come on out Tuesday night and
allowed to walk past a girls’ dormi- , as she mentioned “Caress" and its ® °
tory, the girls lived in East, and they i slogan,
are back in East again this year for
the first time since 1905.
Elon usually has had more men
students than women students ex
cept during World Wars I and II.
Intercollegiate athletics saw Elon
students participate until the spring
of ’42 and we are going to resume
intercollegiate basketball again this
season.
Traditions have been broken by two
Elon students this year because of
the honors bestowed upon them;
Jeanne Hook is the first girl to be
president of the Student Body; and
Junius Peedin, the first junior to be
h; P Lil the ' president of the Senate. A new ruling
list and we prom.se to have all the | P
latest dope for you in what's new in
the music world from now on.
Say. gang, did you ever got to thmk-
ir.g about growing up? Remember
h«jw it was only yesterday that \%e
used to come home with our trous- _
crs all messed up from shooting mar- ‘
l ies, and what a good talking we
did get for it? And we guess you girls
don't feel quite as big In high heels
now as you did when you used to
put your mom's or big sister s high
heels on. Goodness, those days are
gone forever. But let us stay cheer
ful. Gene "Cosmetic ” Po«3 is said to
ing student officers. No student may
hold office unless he has made a
scholastic average of "C” during ttie
previous year.
Other annual events which have
become traditional are the Sopho-
more-Freshman reception, the Fresh-
man-Sophomore reception, the pre
sentation of "The Messiah ’ by the
Elon Singers at Christmas time, the
Junior-Senior banquet, the Senior
party, and the May Day Festival.
There are other things which have
been "tradition” in the hearts of our
etnHpntc and Alumnl—such as "O'-
“Your CARESS will carry

limity is dedicated to the men in se'-

loughs sweeter.”

for that one. lit sells itself," she
said.

Miss Goodskins New York salon,
where she was interviewed , is ecor-
ated with pea-green and purple satin.
Her cosmetics come in containers of
that same color scheme. On the
day of the interview, the purple made
an effective background for the hen-
na-colored mandarin ensemble she
was wearing.
Your Roving Reporter
Despite the busy life she leads,
Miss Goodskin is lovely, it is im
possible to guess her age. though one
might be foo-ulled (Tap me on the
wrist and let your voice ride to the
upper register on that one)! Her
hobby is collecting the portraits of
cows. "Because," she says, "they
have such wonderfully serene ana
placid expres5iorfs. ^ind should be an
inspiration to any woman.”

Theme Songs Of North Dorm Boys
A suivey was made of the North
Dorm boys as to what was their theme

shows as follows;
Bill McIntyre, "Don’t Get Around
Much Any More.”
Johnny Rossi, *‘111 Be Seeing You”
(He didn't say who.)
Don Miller. “I'm Nobody’s Baby.”
Harry Turner. “1 Surrender Dear"
or "Shave and Haircut."

Do Right?”
