F uture T eachers Make
School Inspection Tour
NEW MAJORETTES FOR ELON COLLEGE BAND
Nearly one hundred future
teachers journeyed up to Rocking
ham County last Friday, Novem
ber 3rd, for an all-day inspection
tour of the Rockingham County
schools. The trip gave the edu
cation students a fair picture of
conditions they may meet when
they graduate and embark upon
their teaching careers.
The trip was made under the
direction of Prof. J. C. Colley
and under the sponsorship of the
Education Club, although many
students made the tour who are
not members of the club.
Leaving Elon in a number of
automobiles, the group journeyed
first to the Williamsburg Elemen
tary School, where Thomas Gay-
lod, an Elon graauate is principal.
This school, located in the Thomp-
sonville community some miles
south of Reidsville, has a new
lunchroom.
Next on the itinerary was a visit
to the Ruffin High Schocj}, located
on the Reidsville-Danville High
way, which boasts the largest nigh
school department in Rockingham
County. The future teachers saw
there a modern building, all on
one floor, and an excellent gym
nasium. From Ruffin the future
teachers stopped by the new
Roosevelt High School for ne
groes, first opened to use this
year.
The modern school at Went
worth was the final point of call
in the morning, and there the
group saw one of the best high
school gyms in the state. This
gym is headquarters for Mike
Kozakowich, another Elon gradu
ate, who is coaching the Went
worth teams.
Two other schools were points
of call for the afternoon, the first
being at Bethany, where Harold
Pope, former Elon basketball
coach, is now director of athlet
ics. Of especial interest there
was the modem teacherage. The
final visit was to Stoneville High
School, largest school in the
county, where a new
building was inspected.
German Club Meet
At Avizoiiis Home
The German Club held its first
regular meeting of the year at the
home of Dr. Konstantinas Avizon-
is, with ten members in attend
ance and much interest evinced
in the plans for the year. The
early part of the evening was
pent reading German newspap
ers and magazines, and Dr. Avi-
zonis then made an interesting
talk on the life of German stu
dents and the educational system
in Germany.
In discussing the plans for the
year's program, the club decided
to show a German movie soon.
The movie is to be a full length
commercial film in technicolor,
entitled “The Fledermaus,” a
comedy adapted from an operet
ta by Johan Strauss. Delicious
refreshments were served by Mrs.
Avizonis.
Joe Spivey, of Suffolk, Va., was
named president for the year;
with Judy Ingram, of Greensboro,
as vice-president and secretary,
and Wayne King, of Elon College
as treasurer.

Typifying the renewed interest and spirit in the Elon College band this year is the high-stepping
crew of drum majorettes chosen to lead the Maroon and Goldmusical group in its maneuvers.
The majorettes pictured above are Phyllis Tucker, of Kannapolis; Jane Upchurch, of Durham; Edna
Burke, of Pittsboro; and Faye Caddell, of Elon College. The majorettes m'ade their first appearance
of the year at the annual Elon-Ca awba battle, which climaxed the recent highly successful Home
coming festivities.
Christian Football Squad Defeats
Catamount Eleven By 27-19 Score
Dr. Leon E. Smith passed an
other milestone in his long record
of service to Elon College on
Wednesday of last week, when
he began his twentieth year as
president of the Congregational
Christian institution, and plans
call for a continuation of the
great program of expansion that
has marked his administration
through the past nineteen years.
Dr. Smith came to Elon on No
vember 1, 1931, assuming the
presidency of his old Alma Mater,
from which he had graduated
twenty-one years before with the
Class of 1910. He resigned the
pastorate of the Christian Temple
in Norfolk, Va., to assume direc
tion of a college which was at that
time virtually bankrupt.
The college debt at that time to
talled $768,000, but President
Smith piloted the institution safe
ly through the years that followed
and that debt was paid in full by
January 26, 1943. There has also
been a great increase in the Elon
College Endovraient Fund, and
the college holds substantial in
vestments over and above the en
dowment.
There has been a correspondinj
increase in student enrollment,
for the student body numbereiJ
only 130 when he assumed t
presidency in 1931, and tht;v
were only 86 registrations on the
first day of the following year.
However, the total enrollment for
•that next year finally reached 230
students, and that enrollment has
tripled since that time, and the
number of faculty members has
more than doubled the twenty-one
members on the campus in 19il.
As Dr. Smilh begins his twenti
eth year at the helm, Elon College
is moving ahead with a great ten-
year program that is designed to
raise $2,000,000 for campus im
provements. The past three years
have seen the eerction of a new
and modern power plant and the
opening of a magnificent gymnas
ium and physical education plant.
Other improvements are in the
books for the coming years.

came back to tie the score. Selzer
returned Grayson’s punt twenty
yards to the Elon forty, and
Peewee Hamilton started out
around right end, but he crossed
up the Elon secondary when he
leaped high and ripped a pass
back to the left to Arney on a play
that netted 40 yards and a touch
down. Selzer kicked the point,
and the score was knotted at 7-
all.
Elon came back with a bang
v/hen Mai McCracken intercepted
a Hamilton pass on the Western
Carolina twenty-five and hauled
it down to the 12-yard stripe. Fred
Biangardi hit guard for the re
maining distance and a T.D., and
Gero booted the point once more
to make it 14-7, favoring Elon.
That’s how it stood at intermis
sion, but Elon came back with the
most impressive drive of the
game. Grayson returned the kick-
off 22 yards, and then Marshburn,
Brigman and Grayson shared hon
ors as they drove for five first
downs in a row. Fiwm the 2-yard
line Marshburn drove over for an
other six points, and Gero made
good his third straight attempt
The fourth Elon score was one
for the books. R. K. Grayson
brought the crowd to its feet with
a brilliant 54-yard punt return,
and, just as he was tackled, he lat-
eralled off to Sal Gero, who car
ried it over from the Western
Carolina 22-yard line. A penalty
moved the ball back too far for a
placement, so Gero swung into a
passing role in an attempt for the
the point. His pass, however, was
intercepted.
Late in the third period the
Catamounts gave their fans some
thing to cheer about when Bill
Lee tossed a long pass to Packet,

was on the five. A penalty

It was the great defensive work
of the Christians which shone that
night. Gero, Snow, DeSimone,
Watkins, and Marshall stopped
the Catamount rushing up front,
and Harry Farmer, Dick Lee and
Jack Annas were there when it
counted most. Rochelli, Marsh
burn, Grayson and Biangardi bore
the brunt of the offensive chores,
with Erickson throwing some
great blocks.
