By
GENE “COMPREHENSIVE” POE
How’s your humor today? Hope
you feel up to a joke or two.
“Lib; “I guess I know a few things.”
Helen: “You haven’t got a thing on
me. I guess I know as few things as
anybody.
Salerman: “V/ith this fountain pen
you can do twice as much work.”
Sutton: “I do enough work now
without having something that makes
me do twice as much.”
Doctor Bowden: “Do the basket
ball players get up bright and early?”
Coach; “Just early.”
This week’s spotlight falls on the
light brown hair of the girls from the
old state Capital (Hillsboro), Edna
Louise Reitzel.
Edna, who is a senior majoring in
Physisal Education and English, is
probably best known to Maroon and
Gold readers as our "Girl’s Sports
Editor.” This position really only
starts a long list of activities which
place Edna on the asset side of the
Bill Mac: “I’ve had my nose broke
three times in the same place.”
John Pass: “If I were you. I’d
kep my nose out of that place.”
Tom H.: “Betty Benton reminds
me of the draft board.”
Ed. D.; “Why?”
Tom: “She takes all the men be
tween the ages of 8 and 28.”
W. T.: “Gosh, Whatley, why don’t
you laugh when Dr. Brannock tells a
joke?”
Whatley: “Why should I—I’m pass
ing anyhow.”
Margaret Webster: “Should 1
marry a man who lies to me?”
Elizabeth Apple: “Do you want to
be an old maid?”,
Allen Hurdle; “Haven’t I seen
your face some place before?”
Stranger on campus: “No, it has
always been where it is now.”
“You must pay for the boy,” said
the conductor, while the six year old
tried to shrip,k in his seat.
“He’s only three,” said the mother
tartly.
“Goodness,” he looks older,” ex
claimed the conductor.
The mother threw out her hands
helplessly. “Can I help it if he wor
ries about the war?”
Professor Hook: “And now we find
that X is equal to zero.”
Burton Daniels: “Gee, all that
work for nothing.”
Young daughter: “Mother, I can’t
marry that man. He doesn’t believe
in hell.”
Mother: “You go ahead and mar
ry we’ll show him he’s wrong.”

Senior Manager of the Intramural
Sports Council; vice presidentofthe
Panvio Literary Society; a member of
the Education Club; representative on
the Woman’s Student Council; a
member of the North Carolina Edu
cational Association; a member of the
Student Christian Association Cab
inet; and one could name many
other offices which she held during
her freshman, sophomore, and senior
years.
The star that Edna has hitched her
wagon to is the hope of teaching phys
ical education to the next generation.
Our own idea is that t^nless all men
are blind, Edna will probably end up
as an efficient housewife, shopping,
cooking, housekeeping—and, oh yes,
teaching Physical Education to the
next generation.
Day Student
Doolings
still, Day Student Doolings, but we
promise that next time we’ll have a
new name if it kills us.
Been Snoopin in and ’round the
day students’ parlor recently — and
the temptation to pass on some of
the juicy morcels was too great. I
had to do it! ’Scuse please.
Wonder who this Bob is that Ann
Rader has been expecting calls from
via the Ameche?
If you ever get a chance to dance
with Lucy Allison’s Ed—don’t pass it
up . . . He’s good. P.S.; I danced
with him once!
Simpie is still all out for Self—
and I do mean Norman.
There’s an early morning theme
in Day Students Parlor of early bus
arrivals; for instance, Rachel Coble—
“Walking^ in My Sleep, Baby.”
If anybody’s wondering who Her
bert Bobek is—ask Peggy Morris . . .
IviethinKs she can enlighten you.
Add to our day students list Hilda
Neese—former dorm student. . . Glad
to have yo^, Hilda, and your sister,
too.
Has Alton stopped going to Gibson-
ville? I’m still puzzling over that
one.
How many of you knew that Marge
Webster is quite an accordian player?
I think it’s about time we made her
give with the “jive.” What say?
Did anyone happen to see Leon’s
lady of the night of the play last Fri
day? There’s nothing lacking in his
taste!
And just speaking of the play;
Ralph Neighbors and Ed Daniely of
the day students were quite good.
If you’re still wondering about Dot-
tie’s wings, just take the abbreviation
of our state and ther you have it—
his initials.

DO YOU KNOW ONE?
Do you have a friend back home
who should be in college this spring?
Our spring quarter will begin March
2 and we will have room for a few
more students. We are especially
anxious to have some boys. If you
know of a boy or girl who should be
in college next quarter please leave
the information in the office of the
Field Secretary or place name and
address and any other information in
George D. Colclough’s box in Ala
mance Hall. By doing this you will
I be doing your friend a favor as well

“Out of the Frying Pan,” a come
dy in three acts, was presented by the
Dramatics Department Thursday and
Friday, February 8th and 9th in
Mooney Chapel, under the direction
of Mrs. Elizabeth R. Smith.
This story is about six young
actors and actreses, living together
in one apartment and trying to suc
ceed on the stage. One of the girls,
daughter of a Boston tycoon, is sup
porting them mainly because she is
secretly in love with one of the boys.
Two of the other members of the
group are married, but too broke to
admit it.
Complications begin when the
troupe is unable to get an audition
with a producer who lives down
stairs. Then, a school fiiend of the
girl who is supporting them bursts in
ana threatens to tell tne girl s father
about their arrangement. They are
finally given their chance to present
cneir producer-friend’s play, “Mostly
Murder, ’ for him. However, the
lather of their "angel” suddenly ap
pears and tries to take her home with
him. This causes the boy with whom
she is in love to realize that he loves
her also. Incensed by their play, the
father threatens to have it banned
in Boston. The producer, realizing
that it will be a hit, offers the six of
them jobs with the road company
heading for Boston.
Frances Pegram, Thomas Horner,
H. Held, Mary Coxe, Elizabeth John
son, Ermine Davis, Bob Graham, Earl
Danieley, and Ralph Neighbors had
the leading roJes. Jack Sunburn, Leo
Smith, and Jane McCauley played
supporting roles.
The success of the play has cre
ated a demand for its presentation in
Burlington and elsewnere.
More than a little credit for the ex
cellence of the set should be given to
Staff Sgt. L. E. Smith, Jr. While he
was home on leave ne worked un
tiringly to aid in completing the novel
set, and to assist the director, his
wife, with the make-up and final re
hearsals.
Our congratulations to Mrs. Smith
and the cast for one of the finest dra
matic productions, and perhaps the
iinest, ever given at Elon.
A recent letter from Lt. Elroy
Hooper, of the Medical Corps on
Pelelieu in the Pacific, tells of
receiving a belated edition of the
ftlaroon and Gold. And word from
Cithers indicates that receipt of
the M. and G. is a gold-letter
event to a man in service. If you
know of an Elon man anywhere
in the armed forces, get his ad
dress to us. Or, better still, send
3iim your copy of the Maroon
and Gold. In order to mail it ov
erseas, you should have a request
in writing from servicj^.ian, and
should add this notation to the
address: Mailed in conformity
with P. O. D. Order No. 19687.

ROOMS INSPECTED
Dean D. J. Bowden began the reg
ular inspection of the rooms in North
Dormitory Monday of last week.
Among the many things found out of
order were dirty mirrors, unmade
beds, missing window screens, din
ing hall material, road signs, and a
score of other unsatisfactory nota
tions.
The rooms were quickly straight
ened up, with Dean Bowden’s ?ip-
pearance, and a complete air of tidi
ness prevailed.
By Tuesday, the rooms reverted
to their usual condition.

Hurry back to school, Lucy, we’ve

wasn’t around at the right time to

but it’ll never happen again cuz Nell
will be back next time to do it again.
Good ole’ Nance.

As firm as the oaks, it says on the ]
front page. This being the back
page, let’s investigate the habits of
some of the furry boys and girls who
go about campus without fear of the
faculty and classes.
There are days when I look out
the window and envy them no end.
Imagine. No Math, no biology, no
Shakespeare. Nothing to do but pick
up nuts, a job that is bound to be
easy on any campus. And it should
be especially ea.| at lion, with so
many Virgin'ans about.
Food for thought, or squirrel food,
which do you prefer? Or, in your
bright lexicon, are they one and the
same? Food by any name will do,

way of Oklahoma and points East
and West.

the wind in thechimney, and what it
said to Whatley. When the wind goes

That’s what the squirrel said. Love
