Could it be? No, not that!
Now let me see where I’m at—
It’s time to start, so I’m told.
So I’ll drag out my black book with
words so bold,
And on I go—this is killing me.
Composing this column for M. & G.
You day students are tops, you’re
really great.
But why ain't you created gossip of
late?
And so again (by the way you didn t
know I was versifying my thoughts
these days, did you?) here’s the one
and only—but that would be tellng.
And anyway, who reads this column?
Who reads this paper? Anybody?
Youth Steps Out
By GENE “CHEF” POE
Have you heard the one about the
Sunday school teacher who said, “Now
children, I have told you the story of
Jonah and the whale. Willie, you
may tell me what this story teaches.” I
“Yes’m,” said Willie, the bright-1
eyed son of the pastor; “It teaches j
that you can’t keep a good man i
down.”
How about this one;
She; “But are you sure you are
not marrying me just because my
uncle left me a million dollars?”
He: “Certainly not! Why, I’d marry
you no matter who left it to you.”

No readers, well then. I’ll say | names of the ole boys who were
’ _ , _ ir wantc: t , , • - _ x ..,\-i ~ ^
what 1 please and if anybody wants
to make somethng of it, let them make
something of it—I cant!
You know. I'm almost inclined to
believe that Bonnie and “Shiek” are
really in on the real thing—love!
Possibly my intuition, but the way
they look, etc., when they’re together.
Well, we all get to wondering about
these things occasionally.
Gee it’s certainly been swell hav
ing “Bunk” Satterfield back again.
We’ve missed him this year. It used
to be so much fun “tripping the light
fantastic” with him in the bookstore,
jjg's “Private “Bunk” now and from
what 1 hear he’s still using his feet
a lot, but not for dancing.
Iris and Edna just beam all over
themselves these days. Seems that
Culwell and Bautts get their wings
and bars come February. Goody,
goody, now Iris can wear those silver
wings she’s had for so long!
Have you heard about Jimmy get
ting his letters crossed up and send
ing the one he intended for Edna to
his mother and vice-versa? You
should have seen Edna’s face when she
read that “Dear Mother and Daddy,”
and I can just imagine what Mamma
thought when she read the other one.
Poor Jimmy!
Get Jimmy Westmoreland to teU
you about all of that night “studying
he‘s been doing lately. It sounds hke
a mighty interesting course. The
subject matter at present seems to
be centered in and around West Dorm.
He’s already covered Ladies’ HaU, and
he says to give him time and he u
get around to East and the Day
Students yet. My! My!
Guess I’ve done enough dirty worK
for this time. I’m afraid that if I
don’t shut up now, I’ll be writing my
own epitaph.
See ya,
NELL.
Ed.’s Note; And speaking of Day
Students, Uttle Nell herself, we hear
had some mischief pounded out of
her one day last week, say about last
Thursday, in lab, maybe.
DIARY OF A WEED FIEND
around here just a short whle ago. ,
There’s “Weinnie” Wentz, Joe Franks, |
Leon Gibbs, “Pee Wee” Weston, and |
“Yank” Dickson. Sure is good to
hear from these fine fellows; wish
more of them would drop us a line
to let us know that they are doing
their best. By the way we also see
Fred Gray's name over there too.
He’s in Belgium now. After writing
him that one of our boys, Jimmy
Boone, ’46, is a prisonr of war he says
that he gave the Germans an extra
round of bullets just for Jimmy.
The Doctor Johnson banquet
seemed to go over in full fashion.
About the only safe remarks to make
would be that “an enjoyable time
was had by all and refreshments
were served,” as the Country Blotter
would say.
First Professor; “That waiter is
either a fool or a humorist.”
Second Professor: “What’s the
matter?”
Frst Professor: “I ordered extract
of beef and he brought me a glass of
milk.”
MORE BOUQUETS
12;00—Woke at break of day . . •
reached for cigarettes and found pack
empty. Must remember to tell room
mate to get some. Brushed aside
bags under the eyes and arose . . .
Have strong craving for tobacco.
(Well, I think that’s what I crave.)
12:30—Changed socks and sashayed
over to Dope Shop for some smokes.
No luck! Watched blonde for awhile,
then went out to grab bus into town . .
Had fight with campus cop over king
sized butt which was deocrating the
campus.
12:45-1:00—Bus ride into town (la
minutes of pure carbon monoxide).
Reached the metropolis Radar
■fails to pick up any trace of favorite
brand.
1:30—Offered passing native all the
Sen-Sen he could eat in exchange for
half-used pack . . . unsociable type.
2:00—Got lost in revolving door of
the Washington Duke. Elderly lady
came to assistance , , , after bribing
druggist with a copy of “Strange
Fruit” and a model L yoyo (now
obsolete), he let me smell an empty
Lucky carton twice.
2;45—Beginning to feel like Johnny
(the one that steps out of store win
dows and counters all over the coun
try) . . . told clerk that I was Mr.
Chesterfeld . . . didn’t work.
3:30—Frustration! There’s not a
cigarette in Durham (for a Republi
can, at least) ... On bus back, I sat
behind gentleman who was smoking
a cigar. Snitched little breathfuls of
his smoke.
4:00—Home again. Whew! Haven’t
had a workout like that since last
time I faced the pin-ball machines
in the back room of the Goody* Shop.
4:30—All is well! Ran into courte
ous coed who showed me how to roll
my own with kleenex and shredded
wheat. I live again.
To bring a little sunshine at the
right time, but specially in winter,
we would do a lot of things. If it
gave you enjoyment, we’d even step
on a banana peel. But doing this is
a pleasure. It requires no effort at
aU. Feeding rosebuds to the cow,
and violets to the pm-kers, is said
by some to be wasteful, by others to
produce a kind of angel sandwich of
delectable flavor. But we are bent
on no such unrealistic project. We
just aim to say a few sincere words
about our friends. / ,
To Coach Adcox, Captains Register
and Taylor, and the team; For keep
ing courage on the line in spite of
the odds, including some bad breaks
and some slant-eed refereeing. We
don’t say anything about the integ
rity of the officials who have blown
the whistle for us, but we are com
pelled to question eit|}er the system
or the judgment that marked us for
the slaughter. We are going to get
on the beam one of these nights,
however; and when we do there’ll be
an M & G circus rolling ’em through
the hoop.
To Professor Hook, for equanimity '
and cool common sense most un
common in the known history of
Pedagogy. Phychologists who desire
acquaintance with a thinking machine
that is always in working order should
visit his courses.
To Brownie, M & G linotype man
and master printer, for working for
us after he completes a day on the
Burlingrton Daily Times-News, and do
ing it with a smile. We hope we sur
prised him as he saw this coming up
on the machine, and that it will
smooth out a wrinkle on his brow.
And a handful of assorted posies
to Miss Mary Coxe, the “lassie with
the sassie chassis” (in-a-word de
scription borrowed from Charle Mc
Carthy), for being the best business
manager our publications have had
in years, for making life cheery
wherever she goes, and for that light-
of-ambition in her eye.

Letter From
Former Editor
2ND LT. SYLVAN R. ROUTH
NOAV WITH 479TH FIGHTER
GROUP IN ENGLAND
Spotlight for this week shines upon
one of our real campus champs, none
other than that big guy about the
basketball court, Fred Register, cap
tain of the varsity. Fred’s a regular
fellow around Elon, and right now at
this very minute, he’s out there drib
bling away for the Fighting Chris
tians.
It didn’t take students long last
year to find out that they had a true
prize package all tied up in the tall,
good-looking chap from Sanford, N. C.
And in loti less time than you could
say *‘Isherchasamizzal,” Fred took
over as president of the Freshmen
S. C. A., a group that really went
places in religious and social activi
ties on the campus.
He's not doing so badly for himself
this year, eithr. Not only is he the
afore-mentoned basketball cap'n, but
he's also prominent as president of
the sophomore class.
And lovelight somehow always
seems to find its place into these per
sonality stories, and so with Fred.
Sure, we know he belongs to Erma
(and they do make a mighty cute
couple) but you can’t blame the rest
of us for sort of looking dreamy-eyed
when he smiles down on us al we
enter the dining hall. That guy just
naturally has a way with the women.
Fred is majoring in religion, and
last year he served as secretary of
the Ministerial Association. He is
now an outstanding member of this
group as well as of the Dr. Johnson’s
Literary Society. Whatever is ex
pected of him by his fellow students,
we feel certain in saying that he will
live up to it. For in Fred Register
we see a great guy, and we wish for
him all the possible success for a
long and happy future.
SENIOR ESSAYS MUST BE
COMPLETED FEBRUARY 15
It was announced not long ago
that the MAROON AND GOLD would
contact some of the past editors of
the paper, and print their letters, in
part, so as to give a good idea what
these alumni are doing now.
The first to answer was Howard R.
Richardson, editor of the 1926 publica
tion, who is, at present, the principal
of the George Washington High
School, Alexandria, Virginia. Mr.
Richardson writes:
"Thank you for your letter of a
^ short while ago. It does one’s heart
good to know that the modern genera-
Ition has not forgotten Ye Editor of
jlong ago.
I “I am attaching herewith a copy of
1 our school paper. You may be in
terested to know that the entire job
' is done right here in the school plant
every two weeks, including all of the
printing work. 1 often think how
i convenient it would have been in my
I days to have had the print shop on
1 campus instead of at Burlington. Val-
uable “socializing time” was lost in
transit.
“We have a senior high school of
seventeen hundred and fifty students.
Our community has grown faster than
the building. We have a docket build-1
ing program of fifteen additional class
rooms, an enlarged cafeteria, a con
crete stadium, a gymnasium, and a
swimming pool. With that equipment,
1 think we can offer a much improved
program.
' “Our football team has had a fairly
good season. So far we have won
I five, lost two and tied one. I cer
tainly do mi§s the Elon football scores
on Sunday morning.
“I quite frequently see Cecil Watts.
We manage to get together every so
often.
Best wishes,
Howard R. Richardson.”
In future issues we will try to in
clude ‘letters from other former edi
tors.
Second Lieutenant Sylvan R. Routh,
20-year-old fighter pilot of Frank-
linville. North Carolina, is flying P-51
I Mustang planes in Lt. Col. Kyle L.
' Riddle's 479th Fighter Group from his
Eighth Air Force Fighter Station in
England.
Lt. Routh was a student in Elon Col
lege just prior to his entrance into
the Army Air Corps in December,
1942.
Lt. Routh received his wings and
commission in May, 1944. He is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Lester K. Routh
of Franklinville.

ELECTS OFFICERS
—The Archive complete.
Panvio held a meeting on January
10, and new officers for the society
were elected. They are Edith Hall,
president; Iris Westbrook, vice-presi
dent; Ella Mae Morgan, secretary; ^d
Frances Detrick, treasurer. The re
tiring officers were Bettie Sue Lloyd,
Edna Reitzel, and Joyce Smith.
Plans have been made for the an
nual banquet. It will be held in the
Blue room of the Hotel Alamance- in
Burlington on Saturday, February 3.
All members are anticipating the date
with much pleasure. Speakers wiU

According to figures from the reg
istrar. A. L. Hook, the number of
honor students in the past fall quart
er, session of 1944-45, was an average
amount, in consideration of the un
usual war time conditions.
DR. JOHNSON LITERARY
SOCIETY CELEBRATES
BANQUET
. -.1
The tenth annual banquet of Dr.
Johnson Literary Society was held in
the Blue room of the Hotel Alamance
at 7:30 p. m. January 13 with Gene
Poe, president of the society, as toast
master. Dr. Hans Hirsch, sponsor,
was the speaker for the occasion, and
special guests were Mrs. Hirsch, and
Dean and Mrs. D. J. Bowden.
A toast to the members in the ser
vice was given by L. W. Riley and
“Bunk” Satterfield responded. Emer
son Whatley, vice president, toasted
the new members and Harvey Rawls
gave the response to that toast. W. T.
Walker made a toast to the girls pres
ent and the response was made by
Lucille Morgan. The program closed
with tile singing of the society song.
Lem Allen, Jack Sunburn, and
other members of the dramatics
group, directed by Mrs. Elizabeth
Smith, are preparing a novel utility
set for the stage in McBney Chapel.
This will be an all-purpose indoor
setting adapted to the requirements
of the little theater productions. The
stage fixtures wenp removed during
the Army’s occupation of the build
ing, in accord with army regulations,
and a good deal of replacement has
been necessary.
The wings and backwall flats will
be fastened directly to the ceiling
and floor to permit more room for
backstage entries and exits. The
first use of the set will be for the
forthcoming production of “Out Of
The Frying Pan” on February 8 and
9.
It has been impossible to secure
muslin of the type commonly uged,
but a substitute cloth is available
and will serve for the duration. The
experiment bids fair to be a success
and we may expect some clever ar
rangements of the stage for future
productions.
ELIZABETH PARKER ELECTED
VICE-PRESIDENT OF S.C.A.
At the last meeting of the Senior
Cabinet of the S. C.A., Tuesday night,
at 8 o’clock, Elizabeth Parker, of Sun-
bury, N. C., was elected vice-presi-
dent of the S.C.A. Elizabeth suc
ceeded Iris Boland, who recently be
came president of the organization.
Other business discussed was the
suggestion of plans for the two days
when Miss Judith Austin and Dr.
Sherwood Eddy will visit our campus.
At next week’s meeting, the group will
plan a party, and the president urges
larger attendance.
