A Real Elon Family
More than fifty immediate mem
bers of Dr. Newman’s family are
graduates of Elon College, and
many others attended, but did not
graduate.
It is interesting to note that
Mrs. J. U. Newman, Sr.. was the
one responsible for the senior oak
remaining on the campus. The oak
was scheduled to be removed from
Elon. but Mrs. Newman demanded
that it be allowed to stay, and
her wish was granted to the in-
iinite pleasure of those who have
kept trysts at its base.
In addition to belonging to a
family that has been outstanding
in Elon history. Miss Newman
holds the honor of being the first
child to be born at Elon to
member of the Elon College fac
ulty. •
Miss Newman never attended
high school but was tutored by
her mother. Entering Elon Col
lege in 1908. she majored in Eng
lish. She later did graduate work
■it Columbia and Harvard, and
laler returned to Elon, where she
received her diploma in art in
1916.
A hobby that Miss Newman
loves and enjoys is gardening,
something that her father also
loved. She also likes to fish and
is fond of baseball.
Such has been the career of on?

interesting supporters. As a child.

college. She might well be de
scribed as the embodiment of the
Elon spirit.

Haithcox holds the Elon season
record with 607 points in 1952.
Ben Kendall hit 565 in that same
season, and Dee Atkinson tallied
512 in 1953. Roney Cates’ top
mark was 457 in 1947.
Seventeen players broke into
the Elon line-up during the season
just ended, and all of them scored
at least once. More than half the
players hit double figures in a
number of games, but only Mad
dox and Juratic were able to aver
age double digits for the entire
year. Maddox averaged 17.9 while
Juratic averaged 15.9 per game.
These figures placed both boys in
the upper brackets among the
North State Conference scoring

Barter Play I
Is Scliecliiled
March 23rd
The famous Barter Theatre of
Virginia, which has been present
ing shows on the Elon campus an
nually for the past se -eral years,
will present Shakespeare’s “Mac
beth” in Whitley Auditorium on
Wednesday night, March 23rd, ac
cording to an announcement from
President Leon E. Smith this week
The Barter Theatre group, which
as founded at Abingdon, Va., in
1932 in an effort to furnish ac
tors with employment during the
depression years, has long been
recognized as one of the top
theatrical touring groups in the
country^ and it has scored hund
reds of dramatic successes both in
this country and abroad.
'ihe Virginia theatrical group
chose Shakespeare’s “Two Gentle
men of Verona” for its showing
here last year, but this year the
group has chosen to turn from
Shakespeare’s comedy to tragedy,
and the Barter performance of
“Macbeth” has been aclaimed by
critics so far this year as one of
the finest performances in the his
tory of the organization.
This play has been given only
infrequently in America, although
its first American showing dates
back to 1759 in Philadelphia. It
was also given in New York in
1768, and succeeding presentations
in America have featured some of
the finest actors in American dra
matic history.
The Barter production of the
play has been arranged in two acts
and fourteen vivid scenes, each en
dowed with rich acting against
striking and colorful backgrounds.
Critics have described the pre-

experience for , tlie

audience.
The librarians, in calling atten
tion to a few interesting books re
cently acquired, wish to call at
tention to an Elon alumnus and a
very dear friend of the college
who has demonstrated her lov»
for and interest in the library by
making the acquisition o£ the booltj
possible. ‘
Miss Ruth Johnson, a graduate
with the Class of 1916 who is
owner of the State Book Shop in
Raleigh, through a generous dis
count and a number of outright
gifts, made it possible tor the
library to acquire almost twice as
Inany books as would have other
wise been possible.
The books covered many fields
of interest, but space permits list
ing only a few, one of strong ap
peal to some readers being “Amer
ican Science and Invention,” a
pictorial history of how American
dreamers and inspired thinlters
converted a wilderness into
wonderland of the world.
“Hammond’s Pictorial Travel
Atlas of Scenic America” will
serve as an aid in planning a com
plete vacation or a magic carpet
for armchair travel. “The Float
ing World” is a lively account of
the great age of Japanese prints
and the artists who created them,
and “Chinese Painting” ranges
over two thousand years of Chin
ese art.
Moving nearer the present and
delving into the field of modem
art, the librarians list the work
lof Cebanne, who figured promi
nently in the development of mod
ern art. This book has over one
hundred full-colored plates in the
ultra-modern field.
Another pretty and interesting
book is “T Treasury of Hymns,”
which contains the best-loved
hymns of many churches. Every
page is beautifully decorated by
Frank Lieberman.

On The Light Side: At recent
basketball games, the fans have
been treated to a rare sight as
a group of “girls” cavorted around
the hardwood. Such entertainment
was due to the initiation activities
of various fraternities on the cam
pus. In addition to dashing around
the court, carrying signs and mak
ing fun of the referees, the boys
have been taking to the court
and shooting like professionals.
