We could have used them last

Mulford, the two new arrivals in
North Dorm, are hep to what is sup
posed to go on during a basketball
game. Eddie “The Mule” Mulford
had an average of something like 22
points with an outfit in Port Chester,
N. Y., before he deciaed to come to
the sunny south for an education in
the fine arts. One that he he
already has down pat is a hook shot
that comes from way back and u
tough to guard. Clippings furnished
by Pardner A1 show that Ed really got
hot in some of the games. j

Mulford and BuTlingame were con

the Y league, there, bore the name

Already many of the majors are in

any rate, a good bit of
baseball should come off soon.

THE SIXTY-FOUR DOLLAR
QUESTION
Just as the social studies, match,
■etc., are utilized to help boys and
girls to become progressively orient
ed in persistent problems of living,
so also the activities of physical edu
cation comprise another means where
by boys and girls gain the controls
needed for satisfying living.
The following reasons may be given
to the question: “Why physical edu
cation?”
1. The desire for activity is a dom
inant driving force in the life of the
human being. Whether or not worth
while results occur depends upon
the vocabulary of skills with which
one is equipped, and the extent to
which he has learned to utilize ac
tivity toward socially desired ends.
2. Wholesale activity promotes
growth and development. Good phys
ical education may help the under
nourished student who is being well-
fed, to eat more, and consequently
to develop.
3. People inherit the desire to
play, but they do not inherit games.
It is said that plfy is nature’s way
of education, but lacking the tools
with which to make such play a
force for good, it becomes a force for MACY’S ADVERTISING GLOSSARY

LETTER FROM BOYD CLAPP
Pacific, Feb. 4, 1945
Dear Edna:
Hope this finds you in good health.
I am feeling just fine. Well, I decid
ed to take time out to drop you a
few lines. We had mail call yester
day, but no mail from you—though I
had your letter in the last previous
mail.
I can now tell you a few of the
places where I have been. I was in
the invasion of Guam. We had quite j
a bit of excitement here. Also had a I
Jap air attack while off Saipan, and i
got to see Tinian in the MarianaS.!
Was a.shore at Saipan and Guam.
Have also been at Einwetok an^
Kwapelein in the Marshalls, Guaaai-
canal and Tulagi in the Solomons,
Esperito Santo in the New H|bride;\
and Noumea in New Caledonia.
By looking at a map of the Pacific
you can see—I have crosesd the equa
tor twice—that is hot for about three
days on each side. Tell Dr. French
where I have been—I could tell (fuite
a bit about the invasion of Guam.
Love,
BOYD.

Al, as his name is translated in
English Valderrama, when asked what
he thought of Elon College, mustered
up some of the English that he knew,
and stated very emphatically, “Elon
is a fine place. I like it very much.”
Valderrama, who came from Peru
two months ago, says that he is here
to study medicine, bt added, “But
firs’, I study English.”
“Some of the American customs
remind me of home,” Al said, as he
watched several physical education
students in one of their classes. “We
do a lot of bowling back home, as
well as play basketball, and we go to
the movies in the same manner as
you do.”
Al continued, “America certainly is
a big place. There are so many large
buildings over here. In South Ameri
ca we have a lot of little ones.
“About the aspiration of every
South American boy is to come visit
the United States at one time or
another.
“I think I’ll like it here a lot
more as time goes on,” he smile in
conclusion.

and Gold last week—I was shocked
when I read about the death of Pres
ton Townes. It really makes a fellow
think when he learns of death coming
to men he was so close to in those
wonderful college days. We are all
working hard to end this thing—so
we can sometimes have a glorious re
union at Elon. It seems only a short
time ago that we were enjoying our
selves on the campus aaa watching
the classes come and go.

much of during my stay at Elon.
Best of luck and sincere wishes.

PFC. ROBERT HISEY WRITES
FROM FRANCE
Dear Prof. and Mrs. Hook: j
How are you all and everything at
Elon? The last news from there I
have had was when I was in Califor
nia or Texas. H. C. sent me a school
paper. He is now on the island of
Iwo Jima, and I am somewhere in
France. This must have been a very
beautiful country before the war, but
right now with a lot of rain, mud, and
the buildings all blown up, it is far
from it. I find the country and peo
ple very interesting, though, and am
beginning to speak a little French
now. These people do not seem to
have any modesty at all.
How are Jeanne and Patricia, just
as pretty as ever?
Let’s all refresh... Have a Coca-Cola
... or being friendly along the way
The camaraderie of the open road is summed up in the words
Have a Cake. At stops, everyone steps up to the familiar red cooler
for the friendly refreshment of ice-cold Coca-Cola. Wherever
you go, Coca-Cola stands for the pause that threshes,—‘i. symbol
of friendly refreshment.
