The artist is herself prominent in student affairs, being a member of Pi Kappa Tau and president of three organizations: the Fine Arts Club, the Day Students, and the Players Club. Day Student Sketch'Eook Well, it seems like this will be the last time that I'll have the opportuni ty of writing this chit-chat for you, and it has been nice—at times. No kidding all of us dignified seniors will miss being ardund, but I can’t say that I’m really sorry, and you most likely can’t either. There is always some one to take one’s place, but here’s hoping that you won’t forget us, en tirely. Some of the folks that you ■won’t be seeing around this year (or we hope that you won’t) are Helen Cobb, Catherine* Cooper, Lois Casey, Tom Hoffman, Pat Hook, Jimmy Westmoreland, Anne Strader, Leon Hinton, Mac Welch, Martha Franks, and Anne “Hubba Hubba” Pfisterer. There are probably many others, but the brain, which I’m supposed to have, just won’t function anymore. She isn’t a senior, but she doesn’t plan to be back next year, and I can think of no one who deserves orchids more than Kathy Young, Alabama’s gift to Elon for the past three years. Kathy is one of the best all-around girls ever. While at Elon she has been active in many things, such as president of Elon Players for the past two years, and sub-director of the Delta Psi Omega. She has been one of the most outstanding persons in the Dra matics Department and was the win ner of the award for the best actress last year, vice president of the Art Club and lab instructor; treasurer of the junior class, a member of the PhiPsiCli and Maroon and Gold staffs, and a member of “Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.” Her likes include football, dancing, tennis, aad GOOD MANNERS. To you, Kathy, here’s .wishing you the best of everything (including “Ken”), because if anyone ever deserved it, you do! L’il Polly Qualls is really busy these days; it keeps her busy going from Burlington to Wake Forest and Carolina to dances. If you want to hear a “Tall Tale” about the trip to the science meeting, see Jimmy Westmoreland. Be sure he doesn’t leave out the part about the com cob pipe and the cigar. Just because we aren’t around, do not forget us, because we’ll remember you. Bye. DALE. « X /■ From left: Miss Dorothy Shepherd, of Durham, N. C., Miss Jane Lewis, of Graham, N.

As a tip to other students, the Maroon and Gold will next fall quarter carry announcement of a faculty ruling which places Elon in accord with prac tice at all major universities and col leges: namely, hereafter all papers will be subject to review as to pro- fiency in composition, and students who fall below college profiency level will be required to do remedial work in English usage.

CONNIE COMPLIMENTS One of the most interesting person alities around here is Bill Duncan, Elon’s photographer, who is definite ly an asset to the college. Mr. Duncan works quietly, patient ly, and efficiently in the manner of a man who is confident of his ability. He was bom in Bellrose, Long Island, New York, and moved here in 1941. His interest in the busi ness began as a hobby, and did not develop into anything serious until he joined the army, where he did mili tary photography and gained experi ence. His schooling includes the New York Institute of Photography, Blue Ridge College in Maryland, and Elon where he took two courses in pho tography, and is now a staff photog rapher in charge of the college studio for Maroon and Gold and the News Bureau. After graduation from the New York Institute of Photography, Mr. Duncan was an instructor of pho tography there. Upon his release from the army, he did commercial work for the office of Scientific Re search and Development, which is managed by Columbia University. When he was in New York he obtain ed a position with Look Magazine in the daytime, and at night attended photography school. Proof of his ability lies in awards won in profes sional state and national photograph er’s competition. Mr. Duncan’s residence, since Jan uary, has been Elon’s Veteran’s Vil lage, where he lives with his lovely wife, the former Ruby Wright, a grad uate of Elon. They have a daughter eighteen months old who has proved herself an apt model for the man be hind the camera. Mr. Duncan’s plans for the future are not definite, but he will probably go into the field of advertising il lustration. CONNIE CONTEMPLATES: We’ve been reading a lot lately about a certain well-publicized croon er and his antics. For some strange reason, this crooner had his option dropped by his sponsor, P. Lorillard, who manufactures a product which is habit-forming. Now we read fur ther, that the reason for dropping his option is that his program is not bringing enough profit. So the little star begins to fall. DEAR DIARY: It is practically summer now, and time to say goodbyes—for us, it is goodbye for a little while to the ROY AL FAMILY: King Cosmic, Queen Consort Compere, Little Prince Phil- pot, and Little Princess Penelope. But we’ll be back again for another year to keep the Prince out of Cos- mtc’s garden and to dry the tears of sensitive little Penelope. CONNIE. To the wartime staff of the Maroon and Gold, the present staff forwards the compliments of the United States Navy for services rendered to naval personnel during the war. In a recent ceremony at the Naval Reserve Headquarters in Greensboro, N. C., the commanding officer pre sented a certificate of merit to the editor, which reads as follows: “United States Navy Bureau of Naval Personnel takes pleasure in presenting this certificate of achieve ment to the Elon College Newspaper in grateful recognition of outstand ing services to the naval personnel during World War Two.” The Maroon and Gold, according to the Naval authorities, was well represented overseas, and did much to keep the boys over there informed of the home front and the current standing of the school in sports and other fields.
