has been director of the place
ment bureau and chairman of the
physics department since 19.‘57 and
1922 respectively. ThiS year he
was named to the position of dean
of the faculty.
Outside of the college, he has
been very active in church and
Rotary work. As a church man,
he is a member of the Elon Col
lege Community Church where he
has served in several capacities.
In the Rotary, he Is very much
interested in the Exchange Stu
dent program with which he has
worked for many yeass. Dr. Hook
has also served as president of
the Burlington Rotary Club.
Dr Hook has other loves too,
but they all seem to weave them
selves together into seamless pat
tern. His next four loves are the
families of his four daughters, all
graduates of Elon.
Sarah Virginia, the oldest, is
the wife of Dr. W. H. Burton at
Atlanta. ’They have two boys and
two girls.
Jessie Irene, named after her
mother, is the wife of Dr. M. C.
Covington of Sanford
five boys.
Mary Jeanne, the only w^raan
student to ever be elected presi
'lent of the Student Body at Elon,
is the wife of Dr. D. B. Harrell
Ir., of Concord. They are the par
ents of four boys.
The baby of the family, Patricia.
Is the wife of E. J. Neal, Jr., a
civil engineer in Charlotte. They
have one son.
Dr. Hook also loves to fly. He
'ok it un while he was teaching
Navy pilots during WW II here at
Elon Having bought a plane
shortly affer obtaining his license,
he later had to sell it after being
burned out in 1953. Since then he
has purchased another plane, with
which he sometimes mixes his old
est love . . . photography.
According to his mother, Mrs.
Sarah McDonald Hook, who at the
age of 95 is presently living in
Winchester, the site of his high
school days. Dr. Hook has been
interested in photography since he
was thirteen or younger. She re
members that at 13, he asked per
mission to use one of the closets
in their home as a dark room
And he keeps abreast with all
the major improvements in the
They have | photographic field. He uses pic
tures that he took back in the
twenties and thirties to illustrate
points to his students of photo
graphy; and has sed his camera
and airplane to take some very in
teresting pictures of the colleg,
and surrounding areas.
Dr. Hook is also well-known
among sports-minded people in
this area. As mentioned before
his association with the field of
athletics goes back to his under
graduate days. He has been chai'--
man of the athletic committee for
years, and was affiliated wrlth the
old North State Conference
throughout its existence, having
been a charter member, a former
commissioner, and twice president
of the organization.
His classmates in 1913 voted him
among the senior superlatives a?
the biggest sport and the biggest
crook. But the prediction that he
would show somebody a few thing.s
In life couldn’t have been more
true. When alumni return to their
Alma Mater, they always go by
to see the one person they will
always associate with Elon, Dr
Alonzo Lohr Hook, the West Vir
ginian who “done himself proud.”
