REID THIS
The first time I saw
Cheryl Hart was also the
second.
She possesses the sort of
configuration that merits
second observation, even
by a superannuated klun-
ker such as I.
Cheryl was, in her own
singular gait, walking by
that outdoor patio you
people now enjoy. She was
wearing a yellow dress.
You see, I also remem
ber that.
As impressive — well,
nearly, anyway— is what
the young lady was up to.
It was Alumni Day of
1967.
That is when all of us
old clods get together and
tell each other how happy
we are to see each other.
Time heals a lot of things.
This is an occasion
when the college gets dar
ing and serves drinks,
coffee, and after 23 years,
Elon is so dumb it still
thinks I’ve taken the big
plunge and started indulg
ing in Java. Actually,rm
no more than a diet Pep
si man. (Shh! So is foot
ball coach Red Wilson. We
chug-a-lugged two in the
dining hall back in May).
So, all these alumni
were sipping great slugs
of coffee in paper cups
with Elon’s NumenLumen
seal printed all over the
sides. We had a couple
of cats from the ’07 class
and a great bunch from the
’17 group—so many, I had
trouble getting them all
in for a snapshot and
my camera has a wide
angle lens.
In the gay spirit of the
occasion people chunked
cups on the floor of the
student union building.
Hostess Edith Brannock,
I should imagine, could
well have uttered phrases
a little less than Chris
tian until, ta-dahl Enter
our heroine, Cheryl Hart,
freshman benefactor
from Pennington, N.J.
“Can I help clean
up?” she asked.
At this point, we test
your powers of clairvoy
ance. Okay, now. What
was Miss Brannock’s an
swer?
Old H. stood sore a-
mazed.
Here comes a kid from
yankeeland who not only
wants to work but asks
for it during an age when
the mood of industry oft
gets the go-by. Cheryl,
in essence, thumbed her
porky nose at laziness
and it smote me.
“'You volunteered?” I
asked her.
“Oh, yes,” she said in
a delightful exhibition of
modesty. “I didn’t have
anything else to do.”
‘‘How come you chose
Hlon, of all places?”
‘T wanted to come
South. I just thought I’d
like it.”
[>3ggone if I don’t think
Cheryl is sharp enough to
be Honorary Rebel.
At least, I will try to
call her yankee with a
capital Y.

There’s a vacant spot on the eastern half of the Elon College walled campus these
days, for historic old East Dormitory, which stood just east of the Duke Science
Building, is no more. The old building, last of the original Elon College buildings to
stand on the campus, had been slated for preservation due to its historic interest,
but a disastrous fire on the night of July 4, 1966 gutted the old structure and made
necessary its removal. The picture at the left shows the old building as it looked
prior to the 1966 fire, and the picture at the right shows the last remaining portion
of the dormitory as the demolition crews tore it down during the past summer. There
was no more historic spot on the Elon campus than that occupied by the East Dorm,
for it was near that old structure that the committee chose the site for Elon College
and made the final decision where Elon College would be located. The old admini
stration building was the first structure built at Elon, but the East Dormitory rose
about the same time back in 1890. The dormitory was first used as a residence hall
for young women students, but it was later converted to the use of the men students
and was used as a men’s dormitory during the last years of its existence. At the
time of the fire which gutted it in 1966, the building was being used as a storage
space for laboratory materials from the Duke Science building. The science build
ing was being renovated at that time.
LIBRARY MEET
Prof. Theodore E. Per
kins and other members
of the Elon College li
brary staff represented
the college at the bien
nial conference of the
North Carolina Library
Association, which was
held in Charlotte for three
days from October 26th
to October 28th.

In his talk he gave de
tailed attention to food
service operations of his
company, which furnishes
services for dining halls
and snack bars on many
college campuses in all
parts of the United States,
(Contined from Page 3)
This was followed by a
10-yard scoring toss to
McGeorge against Appa
lachian. Beale had a bad
day passing against the
Apps, but he ran the ball
eight times for 82 yards
and a 10.2 average that
day to prove his rushing
ability.
The very next week a-
gainst Presbyterian
Beale threw TD passes
to McGeorge for 73 and
8 yards, the last one in
the final minutes to win
the game. His passingal-
so accounted for 37 of
the final 51 yards lead
ing the other Elon touch
down that day.
At Catawba the TD’s
came on runs, but it was
Beale’s 41-yard toss ±at
set up the field goal,and
then in the Western Caro
lina game he threw for
two touchdowns, 34 yards
to Jim Waller and 20
yards to McGeorge and
then added the two-point-
jr pass to Waller to tie
the score.
