WELC OME HOME, ALI MNI
Saturday will maik one uf the biggest
(iay» on the year s calendar here at tlon
College as hundreds of former students
return to their alma mater to Join with the
students in the annual Hbmecoming fes
tivities.
One of the "best Homecomings ever” is
in store for both alumni and students, ac
cording to Phil Mann and Gary Sears, co-
chairmen tf the student committee for
the event. A full program is mapped for
all by Phil and Gary and th»;ir commit
tee, which is working with the cooper-
Ttion of Mrs. Scott Boyd, alur.ini secretary,
who is general chairman for the llome-
ctming weekend.
1 wish to extend a hearty wclcome to all
Ihe alumni, who will lutuin to find that
l ion College has undergone many changes
in recent jt,ir.s. Old grads who have ! "en
away from six to ten years or longer will
lind new lonstruction projects completed;
they 11 find a new power plant, a new
gymnasium dedicated to tin- ..luinni who
died 111 World Wars 1 and II. and they 11
find many other improvements that have
taken place in recent years.
However, they’ll find many things that
they remember. They'll remember Dr. L. E.
Smith, our president, and .seme of their
professors and teachers, including Prof.
•I. W. Barney, Prof. A. L. Hook, Dr. Ned
Brannock and Lila Newman, ail
veterans of long service at Elon.
They'll find, too, that in spite of the
many changes, the friendly spirit for which
our colltiie is noted has not ohanged. It
is the si.me friendliness that they helped
to establish and uphold during their years
tu'ie, a tradition we are e irrying on un-
Manged.
It is with that same friendly spirit that
we welcome the alumni back home and
hope sincerely that each and all .vill er,-
Joy the reunion with old clas-mates and
friends. We want them to «o h.mie with
pride in the fact that they belong to a
great alma mater, Elon College.

HEMGIOIS EMPHASIS
The Religious Emphasis Period, which
ended recently, surp,s>ed the expeei.tions
of thore who were concerned about iU
auecesa.
The program was set up .«o that the day
studenta and faculty members who wished
to join the dormitory stut-r.',- .n par
ticipation could so. and the general re
sponse from the students was beller than
It has been in the past.
Perhaps this is due in part to the co-
•^peration of Dr. Smith, who arranged to
have the beginning hour of classes de-
ayed so that the students could attend
morning :..«litations He also requoMed
tha the f.,cully lighten the home-v^ork as-
Mgnments.

a worthy program can succeed if it is
«-ven a chance, and what better cause
could there be than Christianity.—BRADY.

Aboard Ship
Oear Folk'!,
On the ninth of June we left
he fceauti'ul city of Quebec aftei
iriving to the dock in a blinding
rainstcrm .ind then having to wait
in line thiee hours before board-
’ng tiie ship. My living quarters
remind m>' cf those in a sub-
iMarine. There are twenty-six of
us in the same room. It really isn't
bad, because most of us are head
ed for work camps, and our in
terests are the same.
We have the second sitting for
breakfast at 8 o'clock. At 9^30
there is a worship program. At ten
ihere is a lecture on some inter
esting topic. At 11 there is an
ther lectuie. Lunch is at 1 o'clock
and at 2 and" 3 there are langu
age classes. I am taking inter
mediate French and beginner';
German At 4 there is lea, anc
'.l.en there is some free time be-
lore dinner at 7:30 in the even
ing. In the evenings there art
’lovies, dancing and other form'
■>f entertainment.
The other night there was a
■xstfme party. Pat Cox, a cheer
leader at the University of Texas
':er fiance and I dressed as Ha-
•vaiians and a sailor. We had cm
jkes and did a little song-and-
r’ancc routine. We won third prize!
One day we saw two icebergs
Everyone rushed up on deck with
cameras. Last night we began to
■:e: lights on the coast of France
There were many boats around
us. T.4is morning we arrived at Le
Havre.
\>hen the ship came into t.'ic
•larb >r, the crew bega.-i playing ;
German marching song. This made
the French workers on the docks
slaie. You see. during the war the
Germans had a stronghold at Le
Havre, and the Allies bombed the
city to get them out. The city and'
harbor are still in a state of bad t
tepair Then the German crew
added insult to injury by playing
a war song. The officers of the
ship were angry because the crew
"as .?o tactless, a general feeling
of tenseness prevailed.
London, England
Hello Again,
We re now in London. The first
night here I secured rooms for
eighteen of us. Most of them have
gone on to Scotland or out into
the English countryside.

EDITOR’S NOTE
Interesting experiences during
a summer spent in a European
work ca.-np, sponsored by the
World Council of Churches,
are told in this first install
ment of an article by Laverne
Brady, Elon College senior.
She tells the story in excerpts
from letters which she wrote
home to her family during the
months in which she travelled
in various European nations.
."'ranees Laury, from Chicago, a
young art teacher. It's amazing the
way in which my plans have work
ed out for travel. I left home with
out knowing anyone, but there
!iave been plenty of oportunities.
On Sunday afternoon we went to
Uyde Park r.nd listened to orators
3reat crowds gather there tc
\atch and listen. There were min-
■sters, priests. Pillar of Fire
preachers. Salvation Army folk,
ickesters, atheists. Communists
■nd a South African Negro, who

People drift around until they
ind someone to whom they w'ish

in the crowds and listen to th(
British criticize themselves anc
America. Many remarks were
made about McCarthy and the
Rosenberg executions.
The crowds of people who flood
ed in from the country to see the
decoratipns are unbelievable
Thousands cf people surged in
the streets. Some of the girl,
went down town, and it was ai:
they could do to cling together.
As I was walking past Parlia
ment yesterday, a policeman came
-ushing out and stopped pedest
rian activity. I paused on the curt
to see a celebrity. A black sedar
came out. I peered into the car
and there was Winston Church
ill in the far corner, the one per
son in Parliament that I coulc
have recognized.
In Westminster Abbey I saw the
Stone of Scotland in King Ed
ward’s Chair, the coronation chair
I followed the path through tht
-'^bbey that the Queen had fol
lowed not so long ago. It was
very exciting!
That evening six of us went tc
Westminster Abbey for a play. The
purpose of the play was to raise
funds for repairs on the structure
It is in dire need of repair, and
the British are worried for fear
t \vi)l be lost if they do not re
pair if in the near future.
I wrote the first half of this let
ter in Regent's Park near Madame
Toussand’s Wax Museum. I got
very little writing done because
1 was so interested im things
. out me. The park itself was
lovely, with walks full of nurse
maids and carriages, little boys
with neckties, gentlemen with
black suits, black derbies and
black umbrellas. It would appear
that the English love their parks
and that they love to walk.
The English have treated me
royally. Every question 1 have
asked has been answered with
I consideration. If i have looked
jPuezled, someone a.«ked me if I
. needed help. People are extremly
I ^interested in our impression of
England and are pleased if we like
|it,
