Youth. Steps Out
By GENE LEMON-PIE POE
Part I
Some months ago we got all in
spired and wrote a crazy article (craz
ier than this! about the down town
section of Elon being reconstructed,
and about the new buildings that had
bten put in. about the great change in
our social life, and many "Would
You Believe" sayings. Well, we were
reminded of this the other day and
it seems that it is really going to be a
reality this year.
It was certainly nice to have
•Brother" Earl Farrel on campus
for a while last Monday evening
Sorry "Shorty" Smith didn't get to
see him. too.
Carl Neal has gone “Cowboy Hap
py " What a combination—that red
shirt and yellow tie.
One of the fair young ladies of oui
campus informed Joe Franks the
other day that she was going to
the station and weep when he left.
Can't say for sure how she intended
this- but honest, Joe. we are gomg
to miss you. (Joe leaves for induction
in the army November 15).
Mary Ellen McCants told us not
long ago that she was nobody’s baby
now. Does this mean she’s going to
rest easy for a while or is she just
sold on one?
It was indeed a pleasant surprise
to find that so many of our students
turned out to enjoy the newly con-
slrurted bo\\lng alleys. Not only the
students but three of our good doc
tors. Dr. Smith, Dr. Bowden, and Dr.
French got a heated game going the
other day- Isn’t it great to see the
students and faculty out enjoymg
themselves?
John "Republican" Sutton got some
kick out of election day. Even in
view of the fact that “Johnny" isnt
old enough to vote he has many
strong opinions.
Dale Hensley tells us that her
Marine is coming home soon. She s
all smiles about the matltr too. Ail
you fellows that's been making eyes
at Dale better lay low while the Ma*

The Iieweot affair on deck seems
to be Marie Garner and Jimmy Lyon,

From all indications it seems that
Fred Chandler is being put under
observation by many of the fairer sex.

H.XLLOUEEN CARNIVAL
IS GALA AFFAIR
By GENE POE
It was just twenty years ago that
these items made news.
The Maron and Gold was published
every week even during the summer.
Dr. W. A. Harper, then President
of Elon. addressed the student body
oil “Who Should Go To College.”
The Senior Oak was pictured in the
Maroon and Gold as one of the pre
cious memories of Elon students
and alumni.
Physical Education was listed as an
interesting feature that was to be
' stressed on the campus,
j In this same year Elon was hon-
' ored by having its first student to
I hold a fellowswhip at Yale, L. D.
I Martin, who accepted a position in
the department of History.
I "New Building Program Is Great
I Forward Step." was front page news.
I This was concerning plan for the pres-
• ent buildings.
I The Maroon and Gold ran an ad-
: ertisement. "Buy Bound Volumes of
I MAROON AND GOLD for 1922-23
I for $2.50.”
Professor A. L. Hook began his
I tenth year of teaching at Elon this
‘ same year. He was already profes-
[ sor of physics and was successor of
Dr. W. P. Lawrence as Dean of the
College.
Dr. J- U. Newman was the only
nicmber of the; faculty who had been
with the college as a teacher since it
was organized.
“A New Jersey Girl Weds Elon
Student," was front page news.
A gift of $50,000 was received on
tlie Elon rebuilding program to secure
tlie erection of the Religious Acitivites
Building.
Uncle Sam blew his bugle again'
last week, and falling In this time]
is one of our day students, Joej
Franks—quite a man about Elon and '
we really hate to see him leave. You '
too, Leon. And by the way, chums, j
did you know Joe won the tennis I
matches? So now he's a champ. j
Wish some of the rest of you day |
students would do something some- j
time so I’d have more news for the i
column. I
Print shop gossip is that this column
needs a new name. Shall we start a |
campaign to find one? Suggestions
vyelcome. Don’t ask me where the
name "Doolings" came from. I jes’
' inherited it with an appeal to go West
' and become a writer.
I Have you noticed that Ruby Dale
, has no "Lem” to swing on these days?
] Guess she’ll have to try "Swinging
on a Star."
I T. Martin experienced a little dis-
' play of Irish temperament by the
I opposite sex the other day. Shall I
go on with the story? No? , Well,
was Jimmie "Lyon" when he said he
thought Marie was cute? And tell
me. lial. do you just like tiie way Dot
talks, or are there other aspects to
the case? Simple, tell me about the
game you’re supposed to go to this
week-end.
"Dad" is honking for me. He doesn’t
like to be kept waiting. See you to
morrow.

At the call meetihg of Panvio last
Wednesday night nine girls took oath
as members of the society. New
pledges taking full membership were
Ruth Webster of Haw River; Mar
garet Webster of Burlington; Hazel
Johnson of Graham; Pat Menager of
Cincinnati, Ohio; Carrie Stanford of
Graham; Ella Mae Morgan of Newport
News, Va.; Frances Deitrick of De-
Graff, Ohio, Patsy Wrenn of Durham;
and Jo Barrett of Suffolk, Va,
The new member.' were in charge
of the program. Miss Ruth Webster
read Scripture, Misses Margaret
Webster and Carrie Stanford render
ed solos. Tommy Martin, accompani
ed by Dale Burkhead, was guest sing
er. The entire program was excellent.
Miss Edna Reitzel, vice-president, ap
pointed a committee to meet with the
faculty sponsor. Miss Anne McClen
ney, to plan programs. Committee
Bright eyed Gypsies, mountain Ab
ners, andCity Dudes made quite an
impressive sight at the Halloween fes
tivities Tuesday night, October 31. It
was quite a night filled with fun ga
lore 'and more. too.
It all began with an extra special '
dinner at six o’clock. Not only was the
food in coherence with the occasion,
but the whole atmosphere of the din
ing hall was truly mystic and weird. It
was beautifully decorated by the
Household Arts Club under the direc
tion of Miss Muse. The jeering Jack
O’ Lantern, flaming candles, autumn
leaves and bright red colored fruits
gave the entire place a tone of true
Halloween spirit.
Following the meal the student
body assembled in Mooney auditori
um to witness the presentation of
skits by the faculty and representa
tives of each class. All skits were
in a comical vein.
That of the faculty was judged best
and was received with much laughter
from the audience. Miss Margaret
Whittington opened the program with
a burlesque version of "Swinging On
A Star.” Members of the faculty |
stuck their heads and hands tlixough I
holes in a canvas, and through help of
other faculty members, using crepe i
papered limbs and baby shoes as feet,
simulated dancing. The clo*vns ca I
vorted to swing music played by John j
Westmoreland. ■
The Junior presentation of "Farm- j
L\- Eio'.vn’s Daughter" won second!
prize. Frances Gunter ably portrayed I
Farmer Brown, ^hile Gene Poe in- j
spired many wolf calls from the male '
portion of the audience by playing j
the part of the shapely farmer's I
daughter, and Leon Gibbs, as the I
villain, seemed to fit into quite a nat-1
ural role as the lady killer. Junius
Peedin was the constable, and was
given the task of straightening all of
complications. Each of the actors
bobbed up and down, keeping time
with syncopated rhythm played on the
“grand" by Florine Braxton.
Sophomore and freshmen skits were
an indispensable part of the program.
The Sophs’ skit was becoming to their
renutation and the Fiosh assured all
that the;’ were full of the Elon spirit.
The Seniors gave a burlesque of
the faculty. Edna Rumley's interpre
tation of a librarian was hailed by
student critics as a truly gieat contri
bution of the day. Mary Ellen Mc-
Cnnt>; and N^ll Crenshaw v.cn wide-
I spread praise for their portrayal.*; of
I professor and student.
I Doctor Johnson’s Literary Society
I challenged the freshmen in a volley-
I ball ganii in the gym to conclude
I the entertainment. The players were
attired in the latest style of suits,
I which incorporated the usage of
1 crutches, cigars, overcoats, tights, and
other necessary equipment to make
