Since the beginning of the new
quarter and the return from the holi
days, the Day Student family hast
grown in numbers by leaps and
bounds. Let’s meet a few of our new
brothers and sisters formally. Start
ing with the end of the alphabet for a
change we have Tom Woodson. Tom
is not a new student by any means.
Before he served in the Air Corps for
three years to become an army cap-
tain, he reached the exalted position
of a Junior at Elon. Of course, a lot
of things have happened to Tommy
in three years. He’s been places and
seen things. Incidentally, girls, there
is now a Mrs. Woodson.
Perhaps new to some is Jack Walk-
1 er, also formerly of the Air Corps.
' He’s from Burlington and attended
Elon before he went in service. The
important facts are these: black, very
curly hair, single, anfl according to
Leon Hinton “He’s a killer.” Need 1
say more? Well, 1 won’t.
Next on the' list is Sam Webster,
another Burlingtonian. Margaret Web
ster claims him for kin, and at the
risk of quoting Leon again; He has
an ,awfully good-looking wife.”
John Lee McPherson of Graham:
One of the original Romeos, John has
jiuKen more hearts than you can
count on your fingers and toes. Be
fore entering service he attended
Carolina. We bid you welcome, John
Lee.
I By now, most everyone is acquaint-
' ed with the Moore twins, Robert and
j Richard. They are two swell boyc and
' we're pretty proud to have them
with us.
Turning now to the feminine popu
lation, let’s talk about Jean Scott
Fogleman. Jean is only going to be
with us for a quarter. She studied
nii;deliii;, in New York and intends to
, return. We have already an outstand-
i ing singers in Ruth McPherson, an
; athlete in Lawrence Page, an artist
I in Dale Hensley, and a pianist in
Wayne Moore: and now we are happy
to add to our collection, a model in
the form of Jean Scott,
i .According to the results, the theme
song during th_e Christmas holidays
was “Put That Ring On My Finger,”
i etc. To back up this statement, I
I submit Doris Glosson and Elnor Dare
I McPherson as proof. Jean Terrell is
! also sporting a very good-looking din-
I ner ring from Jack Storey. That sit-
. nation looks like the real thing, no?
By now, it’s news that Tessie Cof-
i tin has become Mrs. Mayo Jack Elliot.
1 They are living in Savannah, Georgia,
' but expect to return to Gibsonville in
the near future. Ruthie Clark sure
' has a lonesome look since the “in-
searable four” broke up with Johnnie
Boone and Bett McLean’s transfer to
Carolina and Tessie’s masrriage.
Now to draw this column to a close
with this though. If you have any
news, any human interest angles, etc.,
please see your day student reporter.
This is your column, let’s write some
thing in it about you.
Sparked by Roney Cates’ 31 points,
the Elon basketeers swamped the
Thomasville Lions Club five 57 to 26
in a game layed Tuesday night, Jan
uary 8, in the Thomasville gym. The
Christians took a 13 to 0 lead at the
start of the game and were neve
threatened. The lions pulled up to
a 14-10 count at one time, but the
Elon five went ahead to lead at the
half 23 to 11.
I Cates led the Elon offense with a
i two-hand overhead shot that broke
I the hearts df the shorter Thomasville
men. Burns and Golombek aided
Cates’ scoring with some nice passes
in to him under the basket. Wat
kins had control of the opponents
backboard during the first half and
Joe Golombek took a large portion of
the rebounds during the last half.
Fred Register played o:\ly a few min
utes, but hit the net for five points
during the time he was in the game.
Jarrett, with 10 points, led the
Thoma.sville five and Ward, second
string center, was outstanding on de
fense. Ingram, Guilford, set shot artist,
played with the Lions but never got
by the Elon defense and made only
three points for the night.
This was the last meeting of the two
teams for the season. Elon previous
ly defeated the Thomasville club 39
to 29 on the Elon court. The Chris
tians now have a record of six wins
and two losses for the season.

BOOK REVIEW
By IDA MARIE PARKER
I So Well Remembered. By James
' Hilton. Boston: Little, Brown &
Co.
So Well Remembered, James Hil
ton’s first novel in four and a half
years, is the long expected and mer
ited successor to Good-Bye Mr. Chips’
and Random Harvest. "
The New York Times Book Review
says, “James Hilton’s gift as a recon-
teur has reached a pitch where he
could if necessary tell an absorbing
and expert story about almost noth
ing.”
So Well Remembered is the August
selection of the Literary Guild.
The scene takes place in Browdley,
England over,a period spanning more
than half a century.
This book is the story of a man.
He does not live either in a castle
or in a hut. His name is George, not
merely to those reading the book, but
to all the people in the town. He
comes from a Christian home and by
his natural abilities and beliefs in
higher education he hopes to make his
tbwn a better place for the children
of the next generation.
The book is also the story of Livia,
who was once married to George. She
seems quite charming, especially in
her ability to act. One, however, is
sometimes uncertain about her ac
tions. It often seems as i£ she does
things because of her own desires. It
is clear^ that she keeps George from
realizing many of his dreams.
The town is not unique. The people
are. for the most part, simple mill
workers. The effects of depression
and prosperity are clear. To look
with George at the town by moonlight,
no matter what the economic situa
tion is to see a peace and beauty rep
resentative of many of our ideas of
village life.
This well-written book will 'doubt
less appear soon in a Hollyyood screen
version.
Judy Burns Has That
Best-Brand-Of-
Toothpaste Smile
Students, new and old, are glad to
have the sunny smile and sparkling
personality of Judy Holoman Burns,
wife of Warren Burns, Elon’s basket
ball captain, back in the community.
Judy was co-editor of the Maroon and
Gold in 1942 and 1943, a cheerleader,
vice-president of the Council, vice-
president of the Dramatic Club, a
member of the Beta Omicron Beta
sorority, and was listed in Who’s Who
Among Students In American Univer
sities and Colleges... After graduation
Judy taught for a short time, and then
worked on the Greensboro Daily News
as assistant society editor.
She returned with hubby, Warren,
v.’hen he came back to resume his
studies at the beginning of last quart
er, after serving as an army pilot dur
ing the war. They are living in the
Clubhouse Apartments. She laughs
now about working in a sqda shop
that doesn’t sell sodas, but loves it.
It is a lot of fun to go down there
now and be greeted by that I-use-the-
best-brand-of-toothpaste smile; but no
flirting, boys, she married. We’re
really glad to have you back, Judy and
Warren Burns.
Just to be a little different this
week we decided to ask a question of
international importance. “Which was
' at fault. Eve or the Apple?” The an-
! swers are characteristic of our elite
j social bombers:
j Verdalee Norris: “The snake.”
I Larry McCauley: I don’t know. If
i the apple was right good I wouldn’t
i blame Eve.
I Bill Williams: Was it the '“Big
I Apple?”.
1 Betty Benton and Jack Burch:
j Benton: Sarpint wound around the
stump. At Miss Eve his eye he wunk.
Burch: Eve ate the apple, gave
RONEY CATES, above, proved to
be the hottest thing on the court last
Tuesday night against Thomasville
when he poured in 31 points from
the floor. This brought his season’s
average to slightly better than 14
points per game.

Dr. Paul Reddish, head of the bi
ology department and sponsor of the
Pre-Medical Asosciation, spoke to this
group Monday on “Transmission of
Diseases by Insects,”
He stated that there are severel
hundred thousand species of insects,
yet only an extremely small number
of species are known carriers of pa
thogenic organisms. There are three
general types of carriers:
(1) Accidental or casual carriers—
those which mechanically carry germs,
usually on the outside of the body.
(2) Qualified or Adapted Carriers
—known as “intermediate hosts.”
They are a specififc means of carrying
a specific micro-organism on a de^*-
ite course between two points.
(3) Porters — intermediate be
tween casual and adapted carriers.
Dr. Reddish then analyzed the activ
ities of various insect carriers, includ
ing those which transmit malaria and
yellow fever.
During the business meeting Carl
Neal and Virginia Ezell were rein
stated as president and vice-president,
respectively, for the winter quarter.
Jim Westmoreland was named secre
tary-treasurer and Orville Robinson,
reporter. The constitution was adopted
and a new system of taking in
members inaugurated, making any
student pursuing a medical career and
maintaining a “C” average eligible.
The club’s colors are blue and white,
the skull and cross-bones the emblem,
and each lumber is looking forward
to the key and sweater of the asso
ciation that will be seen, on the cam
pus in the next few weeks.

: by the Elon Chorus, John S. West

, cations concerning the state of weath-
j er in the garden of Eden have, after
! an unknown number of centuries,
j been found to be indeterminate. How
ever, in view of my own experience I
I would venture to assert that it was

“evunetion” from the first paradise.

i Jessie Thurecht (biology major): In
viewing the physiological, biological,
geological, embryological, and psycho
logical factors; and also taking in the
hereditary characteristics, chemical
composition, and anatomy of the sub-
I jects involved: I have reached the con-
, elusion that it is all a bunch of apple-
I sauce and banana oil.
I Marjorie Reidt: Was the apple green
