REID THU/
TO
In «11 of the Elon freshman
chemistry class in the science
building that fall day in 1943 there
was but one Virginian, a little red
haired girl who was away from
home for the first time in her
Me.
It appeared as though the little
man, the teacher in the lab, sort
of came out of the woodwork.
He unceremoniously and unhur
riedly shuffled into the room.
"Umm,” he mused in his easy
going, low voice. "Where are you
from, young lady?” He nodded to
the timid young co-ed from Vir
ginia. He knew very well her
home was in the Old Dominion.
He was a thorough man. He check
ed out things before he s»id any
thing.
“Hampton, Va.,’’ the girl ans
wered.
"You’re sure you're not from
Dix HUl?”
Everybody in the class — except
one — laughed.
With that, Ned Branoock broke
the tension that confronts fresh
men in their first college chem-
iitry class. It was with his frolic
some wit, his devoted prepara
tion and his knowledge that he
met his classes. It was wHh under
standing that his classes were run.
The Virginia girl, never having
been to Carolina before, missed
the significance of Dix Hill, the
Raleigh institution. Brannock, of
course, was slyly implying the
coed might’ve been crazy to leave
home.
Before the first term was out,
the girl looked forward to Bran-
nock's prank-punctuated lectures.
He was an aging man then, and
often retired to a little office to
rest up for the next class, but
liis comprehension of human na
ture was as young as that fresh
man girl.
This is the sort of thij]^ many
of us Elon alunmi remember.
We look back on old timers
such as Ned Brannock and the
EngUsh Department’s John Barney
and to North Dorm and the ud-
paved roads. They’re all gone.
You won’t believe this — not
just now, anyway — but we who
have a few years on you are cer
tain our memories are as good as
■what you are living now.
And you know something else?
Later on, your professors iwll
die, and the campus you know
now may change. Recollections
of them will seem infinitely su
perior to what the kids at Elon
will be having after you.
Sigma Phi Is
Undefeated
In Cage Play
Sigma Phi, with an undefeated
6-0 mark, is topping the Ameri
can League in boys’ intramural
cage play; while the Iota Tau Kap
pa quint, with a 7-1 record, is lead
ing the race in the National
League.
Kappa Psi, with a 6-1 mark, and
the Cai-olina Comets, with a 4-1
record, trail Sigma Phi outfit In
the American League race. The
Studs and the Carolina Hotshots,
each with 5-2 records, trail I.T.K.
in the National loop.
The Studs, paced by Willie Tart
with 21 and Tyrone McDuffie w^ith
17 points, handed the I.T.K. out
fit its only defeat in one. of the
best games of the intramural sea
son by a score of 56 to 46.
The top five individual scorers
are George Owen, Carolina Com
ets, with a 20-point average; Larry
Hyman, of the Spiders, averaging
18.4; Lindsey Page, of Carolina
Comets, averaging 16.3; Grady
Tuck, of Carolina Comets, averag
ing 15.5; and Jim Leviner, of
I.T.K., averaging 14.9 points per
game.

was very effective. Judy kUliott, of
Richmond, Va., received one of the
biggest laughs of the evening as
Lucinde, Genonte’s love-tOHched
daughter, when she proved her
stubborness to her father.
Frank CianuIIo, of New York
City, was funny as Robert, an in
terfering neighbor. This was
Frank’s first appearance on the
stage, and he made it a good
one. Richard Milteer, of South
Norfolk, Va., as Leandre, the real
object of Lucinde’s love, made his
scene with the doctor one of the
funniest in the play. Larry Biddle,
of Dover, Del., was extremely ar
ticulate and weU cast as Valere,
the servant of old Geronte.
This was the first major Elon
Play*r production for the year and
aslo the debut for Professor E. R.
Day. We surely hope that more
productions of this caliber will be
coming soon.

Some people have been wor
ried about the lack of culture on
the campus. The Pan-Hellenic
Council has plans to do some
thing about this! They will be
promoting the Bolshoi Ballet in
Tschaikowsky’s SWAN LAKE at
the Paramount Theatre in Bur
lington on Thursday, February
16th. The Bolshoi Ballet Is
mjoist acclaismed ballet of all
t*me.
More than eighty years after
Tschaikowsky’s "Swan Lake”
was first performed at the Bol
shoi Theatre, Moscow, a full-
length color film of an actual
performance was made, which
will be shown at the Paramount
Theatre in Eastman Color. When
it was first shown in 1877,
‘‘Swan Lake” was cooly receiv
ed. Since then It has becou’.e
probably the world’s mo&; po.)
ular balle>t. The film is distribut
ed by Columbia Pictures.
Tickets for this magnificent
performance may be obtaiaed
from any member of »ither of
the social fraternities or soror
ities.
The United States State De
partment made a statement like
this: "So that the people of tiie
Soviet Union might better un
derstand us, and so that Amer
icans might better understand
the Soviet people, the govern
ments of the USA and the USSR
concluded an agreement on Jan
uary 27, 1958, which included
provisions which envisioned re-
cjplrocal exhibition of motjon
pictures. This film is presented
for your entertainment in co
operation with the United States

Catawba Game
(Continued From Page Three)
The second hafl was a repeat
of the first, with Elon taking a
quick lead before the rivals began
swapping scores. The final fifteen
minutes again saw the lead change
hands ten times, and Catawba
came from behind to tie the count
in the final minute on a field
goal by John Garrison and free
throw by Jimmy Wade.
In the overtime the Christians’
erratic shooting really hurt, for
they were' unable to score on eight
floor tries, and Catawba took the
lead on two field goals by Gar
rison and Roger Snow. This forced
Elon to press for possession,
fwhich resulted in Elon fouls, and
the Indians made good on four
free throws in as many tries tor
the final margin.
A1 Johnson topped the Indian*
and gained high score for the
night with 19 points, one more
than Oaptain Ken Smith, who
paced Elon with 18 counters. Oth
er Elon scorers were Jug Irvin
with 14 and Eddie Burke with 12
points. Joining Johnson in leading

Proving their fighting spirit and
mettle under the most difficult
conditions, the Elon ChrisUans re
bounded from a 20-point half-time
deficit to post a heart-chilling 85
to 84 victory over the Western
Carolina Catamounts at Cullow
hee last Saturday night.
The Christian win came on a
jumper from the side by Jug Ir
vin with barely six seconds on the
clock, and time was out before
the Cats could regain their lead
■the home team’s margin to a
single point.
The Catamounts were off in fly
ing style in the first half as they
literally snowed the Elon outfit
and moved to a commanding 52
to 32 margin. The 20-point deficit
seemed too great to be overcome,
but Coach Bill Miller’s boys did
not know the meaning of defeat
as they came back for a flaming
final half.
The Elon shooters were hitting
hot as they counted 53 to 32 in
that final half. Captain Ken Smith
was good on his two free throws
to cut the margin to 84-83 in the
final minute, and Irvin’s jump
shot did the rest.
The Catamounts hit 32 field
goals, compared with 25 for the
Christians, but Hon was deadly
from the charity stripe and drop
ped 35 of 44 free throws, which
came on a total of 22 Catamount
fouls.
Irvin topped the Elon scoring
and was leader for the game with
23 points, and four other Elon
players were in double figures,
with Bill Momingstar getting 17,
Dewey Andrew 16, Ken Smith 16
an Gary Teague 14 points. Mel
Gibson led the Cats with 22 points
