So Help Me
This, my friends, is a true, true
story. It all happened the other
night in East Dormitory, because I
saw it with my very own eyes.
You see. it was getting along to
ward about eleven o’clock when a
frightened little brood of girls stood
in the hall with frantic eyes pleading
for help. Well, I happened along
obout that time with my hair twisted
up and my over-sized bedroom shoes
flopping about under my feet on the
way to brush my teeth. And, sud
denly; I stopped—dead in my
tlaik.^! Yes, sir, there was a man
in that room. That's what they’d been
shrieking, and it was true, cuz I
heard him. But ever calm and brave,
yours truly reassured them with
those comforting words, “It couldn’t
be. Why, er. that’s Mary Coxe's
room.” Then there were foosteps . . .
not the dainty trip of Mary Coxe or
Catherine Cooper, her roommate; no,
this was one for Superman or Jack
Armstrong, the Alllll American Boy.
But there was nothing we could do,
just stand there waiting, waiting,
watching, fearing to make a move.
The heavy steps grew closer, the
door was slung open. ' And !o, to
our surprise, there stood the man

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
president of the Senate. A new ruling
is being laid down this year regard
ing student officers. No student may
hold office unless he has made a
scholastic average of "C" during the
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
students and Alumni—such as "O’-
Kelly" and the “Senior Oak," These
will live in the hearts of the students
as long as there is an Elon.

Miss Goodskins New York salon,

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.
Despite the busy life she leads.
Miss Goodskin is lovely, it is im

inspiration to any woman."
Your reporters hastened from the
Green-Poiple Salon to the banquet
at the New Yorker. This was on
October 16. 1944. The American Cos
metic Company was assembled in the
Fountain Room to do honor to its
new president, Eugene Aloysius Poe,
famous head of the Kleen-Bore Eye
brow Pencil Company. Mr. Poe( his
renowned eyebrows waving in the
wind, came up the marble causeway
accompanied by his secretaries. Lotta
Cologne and Julie Parfum.
Praising the "Never Lovelier"
brand, and realling the company's
motto, "If ne paserons pas." Lolta
and Julie made known the Magnate’s
newest, Mr. Poe will pay a reward
of $5,000 for evidence that any man
has ever escaped the lure of his "Half-
Moon Come Hither ’ design.
The secretaries were the guest
speakers at the banquet. Miss Co
logne, who in real iiie is Mrs. John
Henry Dustemoff, spoke on “Keep
ing Lovely Through Fifteen Years of
Married Life.” Madamoiselle Parfum
took a different approach to romance,
telling us how to attract Every man’s
Attention on the Dance Floor." It
seems the eyebrows have a great deal
to do with this. “It Depends on the
way you waggle them," said the lady
from Paree. What became of Eu

think he got lost during a "Moon

had a date with the Duke of Cloven-
