five of the games were by one run,

Elon could have more of this at

made. First the plague of apathy

for the most part has ah«ady oc

The current 1963-64 college year

campus dramatic program, and al

by Elon College trustees through
the years, along with the fine co

area and the long standing loyalty
of Elon students and alumni.
