Much. •
Year, ago, they had farm ani
mal.'- at the orphanaK- across from
the college campus. Cows, goats,
and pigs—oh, yes, pigs. One big
one, in particular, a plump, huse
ham of , pig; a veal tribute to the
porcine kind. Now. there were a
couple of rascaUy denizens living
over at Glen Raven who knew this
porker would make more than just
ished devising his devilish quizzes
on witchcraft in Cotton Mather s
era 'and those tests, 1 know, took
hours of scheming for the good
tutor to concoct), the pair of vil-
lians rumbled a Model A truck
down the dirt road by the South
ern tracks. With dimmed lights
and curtailed spark (Uiat detail
dates this story), the rogues
chooguh-chooguh-chooguhed down
the lane to the orphanage, past
the Victorian dormitories and on
up to the pen where Mr. Pig
dwelled.
To get lo the meat of the story,
a woman prevented those two men
from bringing home the bacon,
only in this ca.se, it was just as
well.
A house mother, whose time
honored job is to protect her brood
—and this embraced all in her
charge be it chiklren, chickens or
anythin.g else on the place includ
ing the round old pig—rose to see
what the commotion was al)out.
As I was told, the conversation
went like this:
•'Who’s that in the pig sty?”
“Better sit this pig on the front
sca of this here truck. Quick—
put your coat around him. Here’s
my hat.”
■’I say, who are you?”
"How-do, ma’am. My name's
Willie and that there is John
Henry.”
•■Hello.”
•'How are you?”
•’And the one in the middle Is,
er, Hambone. Speak to the nice
lady—”
‘•Oink."
"Were lost on this road here.
Well, goodbye, ma’am."
Chooguh-chooguh-putt-putt-putt.
‘•Hmm. The man in the middle
is the ugliest creature I ever saw,'
the .>.pinster told herself.
Don't be for thinking our fair
Flon house mother was foiled.
Bright and early the next morn
ing. fhe called the constable or
sheriff or whatever Alamance
County called its policeman back
then. She went with him to Wil
lie’s place at Glen Raven. There
was Willie. And John Henry. And
Hambone, completely nude on all
four.'! in the backyard. Willie’s
coat looked exactly like the one
Hambone had been wearine ihi
night before. John Henry's hat was
identical to Hambone'.''. too.
Soon. Hambone was batk in the
Elon pen and Willie and John
Henry ended up in a kind of pen.
too.
Anyway, watch out when you
steal away from campus for uhat-
evi'i nocturnal clandestine mis
chief you pursue. A bouse mother
can ri.cogni*e any face anywhere.

hair in nice, warm water. Just
as 1 got my whole head good
and lathered and had old sting
ing shampoo running in my eyes.
I noticed the water was get
ting cooler. In a matter of a few
seconds the drops of water splat
tering on me made me think 1
was in the middle of a hail
storm, I could just see me tak
ing off to the dining hall with
my hair real crusLy from all
of that soap dried up in it. I
dressed myself properly to tra
vel the hall, grabed my towel
and went oVer into the next dor
mitory leaving a trail of suds
and hoping to find a stream of
hot water there. Fortunately 1
found some lukewarm water
which served the purpose. Then,
last night I was getting ready
to go out to a store bought sup
per and I decided to take a
shower. (People around here
wash so often! I'm afraid we
may waste away by erosion, but
maybe I can hold up for two
more years of it.) Well, there
wasn't a drop of water to show
up when I turned the little shiny
knobs. Don't you know that I
had to go over in that other dorm
again to find enuff water to
wash my face. Now, maybe it is
that I just don’t understand the
schedule of this running water
stuff a-tall.
Howeer, there's one main
thing that stumps me! Now is
it that they always have plenty
of water in that big playroom
(gymnasium, they call it) across
the street. How would I explain
this to Pa? To start with I doubt
that Pa would hold with this
gymnasium business anyhow.
Pa sent me to college to learn
to figure and to leam about
George Washington and Abra
ham Lincoln. I get up here and
they almost skip over these fine
fellers and spend gobs of time
discussing folks like Darwin.
Then they require me to take
a course three hours a week over
in this play room (excuse me.
gym).
You have to go over there and
dress in indecent, scanty uni
forms. The first part of the hour
a pretty lady gets up there and
jumps up and down and sticks
her legs and arms up and down
and to the sides and every which
of way to counting. Everybody
has to hop up and down and
mock her and count.
Then you run around bounc
ing a. leather ball and pitching
it at a thing which looks like
a big milk strainer with the bot
tom out. Finally when you real
ly get pooped, the pretty lady
Blows a policeman's horn and
cornes in to see that everybody
gets what they call a shower.
Now, that's where the curious
part comes in. They always have
plenty of water in both denom
inations in this gym. How is it
that they can manage to have
oodles of water over there all
the time, I don’t know. Well at
least thLs is three times a w^k
you have to take a bath, but 1
can t see where it does any
good. By the time you get that
shower, get dressed and charge
across campus to your next
class you are wringing wet with
sweat, and from the aroma you'd
never know you had a bath. It's
just mighty hard to understand!
Maybe by the time 1 stay
around here two more years I’ll
be better able to explain some
of these strange things to Pa.
Baseball
(Continued From Page Three)
Coach Sanford has already had
his boys working hard for the past
ten days, seeking to mold a squad
of the calibre of those champion
ship teams of the past two sea
sons. Last year’s team, in addi
tion to winning the Conference
also carried Elon colors to the
National NAIA tournament at A1
pine. Texas.
There are ten lettermen back
for th's year, among them being
Gilbert Watts, Gary Henson anti
Arthur Thompson, pitchers; Eddie
Clark, Don Lichok, George Allen
and Pete Jones, infielders; Tony
Carcaterra and Ted Eanes, out
fielders: and Joey DelGais, catch
er. All except DelGais played last
year, and DelGais lettered two
seasons ago as an outfielder.
Missing from last year after
using up all their eligibility ara
Charlie Frye, third base; Bobby
Sharpe and Marion Hargrove,
catchers; Jack Henderson, pitcher;
Harold Ellen, valuable utility play
er; and Tom Shepperson, outfield
er, Lost to the pro ranks were
Larry Bulla, shortstop, and Joe
Teague, utility infielder. Lettermen
lost due to scholastic difficulties
were Jimmy Scoggins, pitcher;
Mack Payne, first base: and Le
roy Myers, outfielder. Scholastic
difficulties also cost the services
of several promising reterves and
freshmen.
Among the reserves of last year
who may see service are Eddie
Hughes, catcher, who transferred
from Carolina and sat eut last
year; and Roger Knapp and Dan
Mangrum, pitchers. ’
