Celesta Alston was anxious.
She fervently hoped her first im
pression of Elon would be a good
one. She felt mother-hennish as she
wheeled the car around the Esso
station comer. Enrolling her son in
college was of paramount import
ance. She wanted things to go right
for Buster Alston, No. 1 son, Hamp
ton, Va., freshman, fall of ’67.
I’ve often wondered how our place
impresses those seeing it for the
first time. I’ve researched this case
closely commencing with her driv
ing into, quotes, “town:”
Her viewing the row of stores: “I
was told that the buildings at Elon
were pretty.” Our town looks like a
Western TV stage set minus horses,
admittedly, but that’s the way we all
remember the village. Giving it the
Hollywood actress treatment—false
fronts—only ruins the effect.
The buildings on campus: “Delight
ful. They look like academic build
ings.”
The people in them: “The Elon
people are so obliging. They make
you feel so at home.”
Larry Barnes, admissions counse
lor: “He explained everything we
needed to know.”
Bill Terrell, alumni secretary: “He
just glows with his job. When we
told him we knew H. Reid, he said
to tell him he started running.”
Thanks a lot.
The campus parking ticket; I
don’t believe she commented.
Student Union Building; “A won
derful place. There’s a post office, a
soda shop, a book store and a nice
lady running it who makes you feel
as though you’ve been there all
along. We bought some tee shirts for
our grandchildren there. They have
printed on them; ‘Class of 19??’.”
Some of the students wonder if they
’ll finally be graduated in 197?
Coach Jerry Drake’s impression of
Buster Alston: “Can you play base
ball?”
Buster Alston’s impression of Dr.
J. Earl Danieley; “Did you play
football?”
Dr. Danieley’s impression of Bus
ter; “His mother surely likes the
school well enough. I wonder about
the boy?”

top of the thirteenth. Myers then set
Elon down in order in the bottom
of the frame to protect his margin.
Elon’s Kirchgessner turned in the
individual starring role as he struck
out nine and walked only three
while limiting the Panthers to three
safeties. The two High Point pitch
ers combined for sixteen strikeouts
but allowed a total of twelve walks
during the fray.

with the latter likely to become the
first girl athlete to represent Elon
in a varsity sport in all history.
The track squad, under direction of
Coach Jerry Tolley, has been de
layed in opening drills due to the
fact that spring grid practice is still
in session and has occupied both
Coach Tolley and several of his best
boys. No roster has been announced
for track, but lettermen from last
year who are still in school include

encounter.
Coach Drake was pleased with the
work of his pitchers in the two early
battles. Chris Pecora, a stocky little
freshman, limited the Charleston hit
ters to three hits during a seven-in-
ning stint on the mound in the first
game and turned in six strikeouts
while allowing only four walks. Sam
Moon allowed eight hits in the sec
ond game, but he held the Palmetto
State squad to three hits through the
first seven frames.
Lack of hitting power was a prob
lem in both games, for no one
Elon hitter got more than a single
safety in either tilt. Danny Pendry,
who banged out a triple in the sec
ond game, got Elon’s only extra-base
hit.
