'‘H.-E.dE.yiXONS'' Campus Personality MARGARET RAWLS Since she is a Rawls, of course she hails from Suffolk. There is no record of how many of this family have I been written up in this column, but certainly none has been better liked or more popular on the Elon campus. Margaret is a rising senior, presi dent if this year’s junior class, presi- i dent of the Education Club, a mem- I ber of intramural Council, Pi Gam- i ma M!u, the Delta Upsilon Kappa so- I eial sorority, one of the junior at- I tendants to the May Queen on May , Day, high scorer in the Intramural ! competition, one of the pin-up girls ' in the contest held earlier this year, I and a mi^lti-winner in the year’s su perlative contest. Margaret likes Suffolk, ice cream, the name George (perhaps this should have come first) Spalding saddle shoes, Elon and basketball. The only things which she would admit dis liking were war and BUGS! That beam which has come to cahracterize her during the past few weeks is due to George Bullard’s safe return. It has made everyone who knows Margaret happy also. It’s hard to get Margaret to talk about herself, but it isn’t hard to think up nice things to say about her being naive, but really it is that she is just trusting. Maybe that is why so many nice things happen to her. Perhaps the best thing that can be said about her is that she won the “Best All-Around” nomination in the superlative contest, which pretty well describes that Suffolk, Virginia girl. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA CLUB HOLD MAY DINNER The Future Teachers of America club, student branch of the National Education Association, held their May dinner meeting recently in South Dining Hall. Dr. James Hillman, director of the division of personal services in the State Department of Education, Ra leigh, was gjuest speaker, -^e'discus sed problems of the beginning teacher, state movements in educational prog ress, and the projected plans for im proving the training of teachers in the colleges of North Carolina. He touched on njamerous points of inter est to the sti#ients in training to be come teachers. The F.T.A. club received copies of the new Yearbook of 1945. In this Yearbook all chapters throughout col- ' leges and universities are listed with names of students who are their mem^ : bers, the name of their chapter and I sponsor. Dr. Mary L. Phares, head ! of the Deparment of Education and I Psychology and Dean of Women, is I I sponsor of the Elon College chapter, j which is listed in the 1945 Yearbook : I as being on the Victory Honor Roll. I This means that every senior and > ' junior who has enrolled for the teach- I j er-training course is a paid member | of the Elon chapter. Officers of this i club include Margaret Rawls, presl- j dent; Edith Hall, vice president; Hilda j Malone, secretary; and Elizabeth Brad- I dy, treasurer. Day Student Sketch^£cM>k ANNUAL ALUMNI MEETING HAS BEEN CANCELLED CHOIR PICNICS AT HOFFMAN’S LAKE The choir finally had its long plan ned picnic. For several weeks it rain ed every Thursday, or something turn ed up which prevented the singers from eating. When the Greensboro High School orchestra came on May 10, there was nothing to do but enter tain them, even though the sky was cloudy and promised rain. - At Hoffman’s Lake on the Greens boro highway, the high school stu dents joined the choir members in eating hamburgers with all the trim mings. The group entertained themselves by playing horse shoes, and boat-rid ing, and returned at 5 p. m. for the scheduled concert. The Elon College general alumni meeting which was slated for Satur- i day, May 26, has been cancelled to ' comply with Offfice of Defense Trans- I portation rulings, but the executive committee will meet to select offic ers for the next two years. That an nouncement was made today by Dr. Leon Edgar Smith, president of the college. Dr. Smith also disclosed that George D. Colclough, executive secretary of the Alumni Association for the past tne years, has tendered his reVg^ia- tion which is to become effective June 1. Colclough, a former member of the college staff, stated that the time required for other business makes it impractical for him to continue serv ing the Alumni Association. He left Elon January 1 to succeed Thruston Cates as executive secretary of the Burlington Chamber of Commerce. The general alumni meeting, class reunions, and banquet have been held annually for many years on the Satur day before commencement, but ODT restrictions on conventions this year make it impossible for the former stu dents to gather. PROFESSOR STUART PRATT HEARD IN RECITAL Professor Stuart Pratt, formerly head of the Elon College Music De partment' anB now connected with Meredith College in Raleigh, pre sented a piano recital in three parts in Whitley Auditorium here last Sat urday evening. I “Parting is such sweet sorrow”—so I hear, but I cap’* •5eem to find the sweetness of it. All of you good(?) seniors will be leaving here before long, and you will be missed an awful lot. It won’t seem quite right not to see Rachel Coble working on her education bright and early each morning. Edna, we’ll miss you and all the crazy things you tell us to break the monotony of the day; maybe you can get that call from John soon and maybe “our” dream will come true, too. There must have been quite a bit of excitement in Roxboro last week-end from all the reports I've heard; for further information consult Irene Beckom—“a bang-up time.” Have you noticed how happy Kath erine Hill is these days? Robert must be coming home soon, so I hear—GO, Katherine! Alton Durham must have a solid story about Mr. Danieley, but I can’t get the iAside dope on it, perhaps you can better than I, more power to ya’. Have you hearl the latest—about the “orange peel romance,” I mean? I mustn’t tell too much about it, but maybe Iris, Nell or “Brother Bill” will help you to be able to sing “I’m Beginning To See The Light.” Kathy’s favorite song ihese days is “I’m Alabama Bound,” don’t forget Kathy, when school bells ring, those bells are calling you back to Elon. Wouldn’t you like to see Casey “Straighten up and Fly Right?” I wonder if his “Coffin” feels the same way? It would be fun to give you more low-down on all these Day Students, but duty calls me. Have a nice vaca tion. See ya’ in September. “Till Then,” - DALE. Artists’ Slant The Greensboro High School or chestra, on Thursday evening. May 10, presented a concert, consisting of nine numbers, in Whitley Auditorium. The orchestra was made up of the first and second violin, the viola, the cello, base fiddle, flute, clarinet, oboe, saxaphone, French horn, trumpet, and trombone. During the intermission ^each of these instduments were pointed out by J. Kimball Harrei^ian, the conductor. The program consisted of the fol lowing: “Song of the Flame” by Gersh win; Stathart, “Minuetta,” “G Minor Symphony,” by Mogart; “Two Ex cerpts from the Sixth Symphony” by Tschaikowski; “Mjarch of the Meist- ersingers” by Wagner; Bizet’s selec tions from the opera “Carmen;” “Mex ican Overture” by Isaac; Gould’s Pa- vanne, “Holiday For Strings;” and Carmichael’s “Stardust.” 1 The orchestra received several en- . cores. I The Dramatic Department certain- j ly should feel broud o| itself this year. Under the direction of Mrs. L. j E. Smith, Jr., it has bought one com- I plete wardrobe of clothes, built and ' painted three sets, bought records of , v/ind, rain, thunder, the noise of a crowd, and several other articles which are neecssary for play produc tion. Mrs. Smith has instructed her I students in speech, directorship, building and painting sets, straight I and character make-up, and play pro- ' duction. Under her direction two full ] length and three one act plays have been presented this year. The Art Department is not plan ning to give an exhibit this year. Some really lovely things have been painted. Ed Daniel seems to be a master with the water color brush. Quite often one vill find! him (in some corner of the campus painting, what to someone not talented might look, like an “eyesore,” but it is always lovely when he compeltes it. There is always such a friendly atmosphere in the studio that it’s no wonder stu dents love to stay there.
