In f:>ce. 1 cant re call his having tossed a single wa ter bomb into the basketball court In North Dormitory as everyone else did in that era. Surely, Earl must-ve, but I’m afraid you’ll have to find your accounts of it else where. I remember Earl ss somebodj whn minded his ov.n business. He Prof. Godfrey h Pleasinf^ W ith Reciud By PROF. CLVDDE McCANTS (GneM Critic) Prof. Blake Godfrey, member of the Elon College music faculty, presented the third in the annual .series of faculty rtcitals on Mon day night, April 14th, in -Whitley Auditorium, rendering an inter esting and challenging telection of music from the tenor repertoire. A mere glance at the printed program was assurance enough lhat here was a serious artist oi •cultured and sensitive taste, and | the performance of this program | was a conbnual delight, all ad ing up to a memorable musical , evening. \ Prof. Godfrey opened his pr ' ?ram with a Usteful performanc-. | of three old English melodies ar-, ranged by Roger Quilter. “Dnn. | '.0 Me Only With Thine Eyer,' j ‘My Lady Greensleeves” an(. ■Over the Mountains” were sung with a disarming simplicity which was entirely in keeping with the laturc of these songs.

Earl always struck m:- a? someoi e who’d go further than H>iw niver. but, 1 declare, 1 nev er pictured him as calling the plays for Dear Ole Elo’. When he was named president, 1 was really surprised. Not disappointed, you understand; just surprised. I’ve had occasion to see him in New port News recently—for the first time since '44. He’s still toting those pounds, he’s convinced me ht ’g the man for Doc Smith's old desk; he’s in orbit intellectually, leaving me s'.ill rputtering a Sen ior Oak's height off the ground and, bless me, he still knows how to chuckle. \^hi!e on that happy topic, 1 might tell you I knew M.j. Dan- ieley when she was just plain Ve- rona Coed. I roomed near hei brother who was better known as Hoi Toide Daniels than by his Christian name. Hoi Toide came from Beaufort. He spoke with a fascinating Eastern Carolina dia lect that .Kome say is fraught with Elizabethan 'cun^i;. The Hoi Toide nickname—well, one of the first things h" ever told us was about his Albe^Tiarlc Srund country: "1 live on the Sound soide where it igets awful hoi toide. ” That s about the beit reprtnlutlion I can get on this toipewrolter.

He has written two hymns and has a book on the Gos pel of Mark in process of publi-j^ave two such fine artist-musi- ication. |Cians close at hand. nis vocal art. Each of the Wolf songs was endowed with an un derstanding and affection which added immeasurably to an over all sense of unity, and the final Wolf number, “Fussreise,” seem ed in the singer's skillful perform ance as if it had been composed just for this tenor. Musically speaking, the most in- .eresting selection on the program was the setting of two of John Milton’s sonnets by Gerald Finzi. Prof. Godfrey’s interpretation of these numbers was remarkable in sublety and matuirty, and it was obvious that he knew his poetry well as his music. Every word, every phrase was marked with an understanding which most assured ly transcended even the excellent work of the composer. As his operatic selection for the evening, Piof. Godfrey cho-te “O Souvrain, O Juge, O Pere," .he teror Rodrigo’s third act ari? from Massenot’s rarely performed aria, “Le Cid.” The singer pre- “sented this melody in the true style of bel canto without any of he uncomfortable affectations fi 'uenlly mar iprform- .nces of operatic music, and the voice remained true, firm and un- .••itraintd throughout the entire ■ange, ringing out beautifully on ihe final high note. The recital was closed with a Troup of English songs by Richard Hageman and Charles Gilbert Spross. Here, as always, Prof. Todfrey remained the intelligent ind sympathetic musician; and, as with the remainder of the pro- .’ram, he sang with assurance an.i jndersfandirg. In the very best 'Cnse of the words, it was con stantly obvious that this was a teacher of singing performing, a teacher with the vocal capacity to put his sound principals to work, for this was a recital prepared Aith care and detailed attention lo diction, subtleties of interpre- ation and sound musicianship. It was indeed gratifying to hear in artist—among singers they are >’?coming rare — who though: ■■nough of his audience to present T recital of carefully prepared, beautifully performed works of significant and intelligent musical interest and value. No review of this recital would be complete without some word of praise for Mrs. Bettie Comp ton Godfrey, the singer’s wife, who accompanied the entire pro gram superbly. There was a sense rif rapport and balance in this re- ’ilal which defy description. Last nizht was ample testimony that our community is indeed lucky to I Scoggins Is I Star In Win At High Point It was rally time in the ninth as the Christians grabbed a 7 to 3 victory over the High Point Panthers in a North State Con ference diamond battle at High Point Monday, running the Elon record in Conference play to six wins against a single loss. Little Jimmy Scoggins, Elon's 'freshman southpaw from Mebane,, went the route on the mound for he Christians and had a no-hit ter spinning through the first six innings and closed out the day with a neat three-hit perform ance. Scoggins had everyone talking Uircugh that first six racks, for he faced only eighteen men dur- ;”g that time, retiring the Pan thers in one-two-three order each I lime. He failed to strike out a sin- 2le batter during the game, which s'aw him walk three, but he main tained complete mastery until the feventh. The Panthers finally counted one run in the seventh on a siijgle and an infield error. This still left Elon with a 2-1 edge, for the Chris tians had counted twice in the third, but it took a five-run up rising in the ninth to ice the game [ir the Christians, IN BEAUTY EVENT Elon Outfit Wins Series At Fort Lee It was a personal victors Coach Jack Sanford when ht Christians won two out of spring vacation baseball bar irom the pro-laden Fort Lp. n ' fjtr' +V\£» Tr«-w*.+ T , '■'^1 was coach.
