always be ready to start imme
diately at the nod of the auction
eer, and as Campbell remarked—
"toot our loudest and fastest to
revive the ewwd.”
According to Campbell, it was
(rtat fna a* well a* very profit
able for the band members. Since
each man had bought bis own io-
strument and had learned to play
it on hie own time, the proceeds
from all engagements were di
vided pro rata.
GoeM AppearaDcea
The band also gave a number
of concerts in nearby towns, one
of which stands out vividly in
Campbell’s memory. As he re
called it, “W« gave • BBmbtf
concert* in nearby towns. We were
scheduled to appear at McLieana-
ville, home of E. T. Hines, bari
tone, for an evening concert. We
were all there on time, but the
bottom simply dr«pped out of the
«ky. 1 have never seen more rain
any time Dor anywhere. Naturally
the crowd was small. We went In
to a huddle to see what should he
done, as we certainly did not want
to coBK back Vo the college aDd
teport that we had not made ex
penses. So, we all fUed oat to
tbc ticket window and paid ad
misaim to get bach ta. *
Concerts were numerous during
those early years of the band. On
certain evenings the band met at
the band stand, which was located
on the campus between the Re
ligious Education building and
Possum Avenue, a name applied
at that time to the road running
parallel to the railroad tracks.
EvideBtly the musicians were a
bit slow gathering at timet, so
Campbell announced that the next
concert would start on time even
if there were no other members
there bat the bass drummer and
himaelf. Well, on one particulai
occasion be and bacs drummer
showed up on time, but no one
else did. So Campbell and the

rest of the band came seemingly
from nowhere and gave them a
big hand. They had great fun.
Paia At The Vafer
The Great Bnrlington Fair (ta
the presetkt location of Calvary
Baptist Church and Forest HiU
Qemeotary School) was another
aource of'Income (or early bands.
Campkel) says Ciey would fo into

of the fair and pick up a few ex

bM account) at Saunders store or
on sly tripe to Greensboro.
The means of transportation for
the band was a farm wagon, own-
all stood up coming and going,
and if it happened to rain, they
just got wet.
There were some people who
never failed to show up when they
heard the drummer start. Among
them were Lynn Johnson and "Un
cle” Pink Comer, two most inter
ested and devoted fane. Both were
employees of the college, Lynn
in the dining hall and "Uncle"
Pink on the campus.
Campbell bad every right to be
proud of bis band groups, and he
was especially boastful of that
first unusual group of men in that
1907 band.

Is Speaker
For Sorority
The Beta Chi Epsilon, the soror
ity composed entirely of girls »ho
are students in the commercial
classes, had Frank M. Biggerstaff
of Burilngton, as a guest speake^
at their December meeting. A (or-
mer high school principal in Bur-
lington, he is now a member of
the real estate firm of Biggerstafl
and Beamon.
Mr. Biggerstaff chose "Phases:
of the Business World ' as his to
pic for discussion before the girls
and he pointed out for the sorority
members many features that a
modern business man looks lor and
expects in a good secretary. One
thing which he stressed particular-
ly was the absolute necessity tor
a secretary to be a good speller.
Tbe Beta Chi Epsilon girls hm
completed their organiation for the
1956-57 term, and officers for the
current year were elected recently.
The sorority leaders for the ye»r
include Harlene Howell, of Wades-
boro, president; Sandra Bentz, ol
Greensboro, vice president; Aniti

you started.”
Chanrlnc Directors
During the spring of 1812 Camp
bell concluded his five-year stint
which witnessed his remaining as
direct&r a year after bis gradua
tion a yj:.ar before. This set the
stage for the coming of Victor
Painter Heatwole, Ellon’s second
band director who also directed
for five successive years which
be^an during the fall of 1912 and
lasted through the spring of 1917,
when Heatwole was called off to
service during WorW War I.
Heatwtrie, now resident ol Oak
Ridge, directed during Dr. Wil-
Uam Allen Harper's reign a* pres
ident of the college. Of course,
from time to time the member
ship changed somewhat and seme
of the men shifted to other instru
ments, but according to Heat-
woke the membership remained
around seventeen in number.
Frank Aycock served as president
during 1913, 1914 and 1915.
In September of 1917, Lonnie
Sides took over as director of the
college band, and he served in
that capacity until the spimg of
1920. Records were still not very
extensive during those early years,
but during Sides’ last year ae di
rector a Uat ww foond ot tke baad
members.
Among the members «f that day
were P. E. T^Indlay, presldvt; J.
Everett, L. I. Ingle, J. D Metsick
(now president of East Carolina),
W. T. "Bill” Scott, H. W. Johnson,
Grady Brown, O. B. Country
Gormon, R. O. Smith, M. F Hayet,
V. M. Rivera, W. W. W'lody and
H. E. White.
According to Rhodes It was dur
ing the following year, in the fall
of 1921, that Elon’c "Alma Mater”
song was used for the first time,
being played first during the Elon-
Guilford football contest of that
season.
The Elon band was the only
one in Alanance County, and
therefore marched in all the pa
rades in Burlington and other
neighboring towns. Members of
the 19i? group included R. O.
Smith, president; W. T. “BiB”
Scott, vice president; H. SchoU
Jr., secretary-treasurer; B. W. Ev
erett, J. N. Denton, F. M. Cheek,
M. I. Crutchfield, J. C. Lefler, W
B. “Bill” Terrell (new alumni sec
retary), V. M. Rivera, T. S. Cheek,
E. E. Snotherly, M. F. Hayes, F
A. Rawles, I. H. Luke, O. B. ’Coun
try’ Gormon, and P. A. Penny.
Rhodes concluded hie three-
year stint as director in 1923, hav
ing completed his college work in
three years. Although Elon had
boasted an orchestra duimg pre
vious years, it was not until this
year were names available. That
1923 orchestra was composed of
eight players including Mark Z.
Rhodes, director, Mildred Kirk
land (now Mrs. Mark Rhodes), Ju
lie Braxton, J M. Farmer, M. J.
W. White, Jr., G. 1. HoUand, B.
W. Everett, and F. A. Rawles.
Members of the band that year
were Grady Brown, presidest, W.
