Did you have a nice Easter? All
I have to say ts that if everyone had
.just lialf as much fun as I did, you
enjoyed it well enough! Peggy Holt
said that her Easter was nice, but
that she didn’t do anything except
sleep. Probably I, and most of you,
would feel better now if we had done
jaore of just that!
, Maybe it’s just the season or may-
he some other reason helped to pro
mote it, but just the same Gaynell
and Hazel look really nice with their

girls!
Remember Tessie Coffin EUiol?
She has stars where her eyes used to
be now that husband Jack is home
on a forty-five day furlough, and
when you look at that good-looking
piece of humanity you can understand

knows how to dress, but he knows

Can you figure this one out? “Peep-

“Dovey Jo” have started going to

eh, Foster? Hal knows why he is
helping Clegg paint china. It’s real

who are working together painting
china with exactly the same pattern,
or even on the same piece-

Around any college, and here at
Elon, but definitely, you’ll hear va
rious flattering (and otherwise) re
marks about our teachers. “Boy,
isn’t she a tough one?”—or—“He’s
deaf, dumb, and blind during test
time”—or-“She’s the best teacher
here”—or—“The old so and so ♦♦♦*!”
The question “What and who is your
idea of a good teacher?” will no
doubt bring many interesting ans
wers!
Becky Beale; “Miss Muldrow—
She’s one teacher without a temper
'one that is visible anway)”!
Lib Johnson; “My idea of a good
teacher is Dr. Deskins. His philos
ophy of life makes him a fascinating
teacher.”
Jim West: “You can’t beat Profes
sor Hook; his classes aren’t like
classes—more like movies or some
thing you can enjoy as much!”
Frances St. Clair: “I love Coach
Pierces’s classes. His sense of humor
U really a sense of humor!”
Mary Hope Smith; “I wiU never
forget Dr. French! Those jokes he
told! Never a dull moment in his
classes!**
Jimmy Huyett: “You know, my idea
of a good teacher is one who gives
simple tests—naturally Miss Keen is
my idea of a good teacher then!”
Joe Dunn: Any teacher that will (
pass me is tops with me. Bull ses
sions in the dorm are the best teach
ers!”
Janice Frazier; “My favorite teach
er? Harper! He’s taught me more
than anybody! Boy is he hard, uh!”
Betty Dalehite: “They say ‘Mules’
are dumb—^well, I know one ‘Mule’
who is smarter than any teacher I
know!”
Bobb Furr: “My favorite teacher is
Dr. Bowden—He’s pulling the jokes
in this spring quarter that I puUed
in the winter quarter!”

LOWDOWN ON KENTON
Clarifying reports to the effect
that Stan Kenton is cancelling dates
for his famed orchestra, the Capitol
Record Information Bureau comes up
with the following dope:
Actually, Kenton’s band is taking
an enforced vacation at the insis
tence of Stan’s personal physician.
His gruelling road tours, personal ap
pearances, and recording dates dur
ing six years without rest have so
endangered his health that Stan’s
doctor’s warned him he must either
stop temporarily or risk a complete
collapse.

The sunshine of international opti
