Sketch-Book
BY GENE “YOU NAME IT” POE
Just passed by West and saw one
of the girls in the window with a pup
(in no human likeness) calling the
‘animule” Cecil. This just goes to'
show you that dogs can f*et by with
things that us creatures on two legs
can’t.
The secretarial situation gets
tougher all the time, says a friend of
ours. He said he fired his typist for
lack of experience because she look
ed around for a chair when he patted
his lap and said "sit down.”
You can call a man with two wives
a bigamist, but about all you can
-call the man with eight or ten is
“pigamist.”
Did you hear about Jane McCauley
when she was riding in the club car
on the Limited, when two masked
bandiis entered? “Throw up your
hands”, commands the bigger of the
two. “We’re gonna rob ail the gents
and kiss all the gals.”
‘•No pardner,” remonstrated the
smaller bandit, “we'll rob the men,
but we’ll let the ladies alone.
“Mind your business, mister,
snapped Jane, “The Dig man is roD-
bing this train.” (Forgive us, Jane,
but it did make a gooo story.)
The oddest excuse for car-steal-#g
is the one we heard just a moment
ago. Seems the accused told the
judge he took the car because it was
standing in front of a cemetery and
he thought the owner was dead.
Congrats and such to Emerson
Whatly. He is the proud big brother
of a six pound, fourteen ounce baby
bouncing boy. The blessed package
is named Wendell NORRIS Whatley,
and should arrive at Elon in Septem
ber of I96I, or thereabouts.
A GIRL FROM SANFORD
Over The
Shoulder
NORTHWARD, HO!
Those brown eyes behind the li
brary desk smile easily, and on oc
casion light up with pure impish
ness. They br/yi)g to Frances Gunt
er, senior from Sanford; and to go
with them, she possesses brown hair
and a fine sense of humor.
Sanford is a place the natives call
the “Garden Spot of the World.”
Frances owns up to being a native
of this paradise in Lee county, where
she first opened those twinkling orbs
of hers on March 15, 1925. (Editor’s
note: That “Garden-of-the-world
idea” is probably propaganda from
the Chamber of Commerce.)
Records in the registrar’s office in
dicate that there is a good supply of
brains under that famous brown hair.
Miss Gunter has found time between
jokes and cokes to become president
of the Intramural Council, treasurer
of the Student Council, member of
the Senior S. C. A. Cal|net, member
and vice-president of the Choir, mem
ber of the Education Club, Student-
Faculty Committee; and is a member
ol Beta Omicron Beta sorority.
It is our humble opinion that Lee
county, in the year of grace 1925,
began to establish a claim to fame
quite outside its reputation as the
home of the renowned Chatham-Lee
rabbits.
Heaps of good will to you, Frances.
What a gal!
Ain’t it so. Conditions being what
they are some hotels are just places
where you give up good dollars for
poor quarters.
Pop says when a woman stops pat
ting herself on the back and begins
unaer the chin, she’s either smart or
she’s forty!
Mom says a woman is as old as she.
looks, and Pop a m'an is old when h^
stops looking. (It would sure be
tough if they saw this.)
After Tom went to the nursery
school for the first time, his father
asked him how he liked it. “It’s
okay” 'I'om said, “but I had to tell a
little fib today.”
“Why?” asked his father.
“Well, the teacher wanted to know
where you and mother were born and
1 told her, but when she wanted to
know where I was born I had to fib.
If I’d told her I was born in The
Women’s Hospital she’d think I was
a sissy.”
Did You Know?
HEY

By GENE POE
There are many “Did You Know’s”
on the presidents of the United States,
but here we have a few of the more
interesting ones, if not the most hu
morous ones.
Did you know that James Madison
weighed less than 100 pounds.
Taft weighed more than 300
pounds?
Hayes’ wife refused to serve liquor
or wine in the White House, and
critics called her “Lemonade Lucy.”
President FiUmore never saw a map
of the United States until he was
nineteen.
President Johnson was taught to
read and write by ihs wife, and ob
tained a very good educatio>i? (What
the women can do to men?)
Mrs. Zachary Taylor must have put
a lot of grey hairs in Zach’s head be
cause she smoked a corncob pipe (as
Mac Arthur does now) and she shun
ned White House functions.
Grover Cleveland contracted cancer
of the mouth and had to have an
artifical jaw?
President Harrison on a thirty day
tour of the Pacific made 140 extem
poraneous speeches and never re
peated himself.
President Grant was arrested for
speeding in Washington? His horse
exceeded the speed limit.
President Coolidge slept eleven
hours a aay? Nine lit night and two
each afternoon.

DANIELEY
It seems to me that I have a defi
nite advantage over the readers of
this column because of the season of
year. 1 am especially referring to the
fact that there is no available supply
of over-ripe tomatoes at this time of
year, however, when I think of the
fact that what tomatoes are thrown
at me will be in tin cans. I’m not
sure who has the advantage.
Miss Nell Crenshaw usually writes
this column; but since she has asked
me to write for the Maroon and Gold
this issue I think it best to give at
least one incident which she might
have forgotten had she been writ
ing. Nell found herself rather pop
ular a few days ago when she was
the proud possessor of tasty Hershey
bar." She finally succumbed to the
“I love you” line of dorm student
Whatley, and needless to say he re
ceived the choice chocolate bar.
Seems to yours truly that she could
have given it to a day student—but—
that is the Elon spirit for you. And
speaking of Elon, I’d like to say
oichids to Elon students for the great
school spirit shown during the bask
etball season. While we’re giving or
chids better send a large bouquet
to the coach and team. Even though
so much as the time our team was
losing, they have been good sports.
We appreciate that!
John William (Bill) Clapp, Jr., is
much better now. For those who do
not already know about the accident
Bill had, we might say here that he
was only shutting his car door when
he found unfortunately that his finger
was in the way. Dr. Troxler of Bur
lington took care of the medical work;
and now is experience is a great
teacher, Bill should be very careful
about his fingers.
Another large bouquet of orchids
to Kathleen Young for her swell job
working with the current production
by the Elon Players, “Out of the Fry
ing Pan.”
Day Students were glad to see
former day student Willard M,oore
on campus this week.

Go North, young girls, go North!
Believe it or not, there are forty men
in North Dorm—thirty-nine of whom
are eligible bachelors (Gene Poe has
been taken). But before we go any
farther and explore the unpredicta
ble contents of this handsome rec
tangular-shaped ancient castle, let's
scrutinize the architecture of the edi
fice.
This classic structure was erected
in year of our Lord nineteen hun
dred thirteen in Nordic architecture,
hence we get the name “North.” It
has three floors—the gym floor and
two residence floors—and a dungeon
like basement, not unlike those found
in old castles on the Rhine. This
‘ sub rosa” floor contains a large
shower room, two dressing rooms—
one for the “Fighting Christians” and
one for “ye opponent”—and also
houses the “zimmers” of John “Sen
ate" Sutton and Bill Copeland at one
end and W. T. Walker and Carl “Zoot
Suit” Neal at the other end.
In the southwest corner of the gym
floor reside George Anderson Jenk
ins, Jr., and Cager Wallace Owen,
Gibsonville’s gift to the “wimmin.”
Raising ourselves to a higher level,
namely the second floor, we find
Honest John Rossi and his roomie,
Don Miller.
Other residents of the second floor
are all frosh: those swanky Virginians
—Rawls and White; the gruesome
twosome—Pass and Long; two with a
brogue—Hoy Toide and our Latin
American neighbor; two quiet jobs—
Chandler and Grinstead; and a lone
wolf, Inman, who doesn’t say much
yet does his part. Other members of
floor two who “walk alone” are John
son and Little.
The third floor houses the preach
ers and other various professionals,
thusly: Register and Graham abide
in the southwest corner room with
their ministerial brother. Sunburn,
across the hall; Dickie “Colonel Big-
boy Paddle-swinging” Stanford occu
pies the space next to JacK. But
we must skip several doors which are
closed because of the man shortage,
until we come to the room of those
unpredictable frosh—Banks and Mac-
Entire. H. Reid’s personal shadow,
Leopold, lives next door to the auto
matic door-shutter job. Across the
hall from this coner we find the
gleesome threesome—Phil, Joe, and
Jack. This room is more popularly
known as the “Bull Room.”
Going west again down the south
side for the home stretch first comes
Frank “Argumentation and Debate”
Rogers, who walks alone, while Lem
Allen and Bob Foust live nearby. Next
come Rev. Gene Poe and Dr. Emer
son Whatley who can boast enough
possession to have a storage room
next door. Then we have the pro
fessional threesome—artist, lawyer,
and preacher, who are Daniel, Peedin,
and Horner, respectively.
• Last but not least we have what is
in reality the Eta Beta Pi fraternity
room, although the frosh on the sec-
and floor call it the 417 Club. The
occupants of this room do not wish to
have their identity revealed because
of political reasons.

...or how to be hep in Puerto Rico
In Puerto Rico, as in Punxsutawney or Pasadena, Coca-Cola is a
friend-maker your American soldier can count on. To natives and
to his buddies alike, Have a Coke says How ya doin’, pal. It’s a simple
gesture of friendly courtesy. Yes, Coca-Cola is truly an American
symbol of a refreshing way to make friends.
