Will Come To Elon
Graves Gives
Up Elon Post
There have been many
expressions of regret in
all walks of ca.mpus life
when word passed around
that the Rev. John Graves,
who has filled many roles
on the Elon campus for
the past 12 years, would
not return for the coming
year.
In the many-sided posi
tion of campus minister,
counsellor, chaplain,
teacher, and other ser
vices, he has com'orted
both students and faculty
in times of distress and
has shared their plea
sures in times of joy.
While serving at wed
dings, funerals and many
other occasions, he earn
ed the sometimes bestow
ed title of “Papa John”
from many people, but to
many others he has sim
ply been known as Johnny
Graves or Professor,,
Asked about future
plans, he has simply stat
ed that he plans to go
back to his former home
in Atlanta, but beyond that
he has made no definite
announcement. Wherever
he goes, he leaves be
hind countless friends.
General Grant’s home
Hardscrabble, built by him
in the viUage of Grant’s
Farm, Missouri, and visited
yearly by thousands, is sur
rounded by a fence composed
of 2563 rifles actually carried
by Union soldiers in the CivQ
War.
So What’s
New?
By PAUL BLEIBERG
Another year has come
to a close. For some it
is their last college year
ever; to others it is their
first. But, to all, it has
been a memorable one.
Things have really
changed around here.
And, I believe it is all
for the good. With no
Saturday classes, a much
have helped you in some
way, shape, or form. Also,
I hope you have enjoyed
reading them as much as
I have enjoyed writing
them.
To the seniors, I say
goodby and best of luck
in all your endeavors. To
the rest, I am looking for
ward to seeing you next
year. Have a great sum
mer, (even those who are
going to summer school),
GOODNIGHT AND GOD
BLESS YOU!
A Song
Of Elon
By KEN HOLLINGSWORTH
more liberal chapel pro
gram, etc., one has much
to look forward to,
"SO WHAT’S NEW*’
has had a real “ball”
writing for you this year.
I have tried to give to
you, my readers, what I
saw and felt.
I hope that my articles
This weekend will wit
ness the return of many
former Elon students,and
the same weekend means
that many present Elon
students will leave Elon,
hereafter to return only
as visitors. Here at Elon
they have lived, worked,
studied, met new people,
and managed to have some
fun. Now it is time for
them to take their place
beside other Elon alumni
and become useful, pro
ductive citizens.
What did the years at
Elon do for them? Like
the 1968 Phi Psi Cli says,
. . college did not .
give us anything. Instead,
it offered us many things
and said take them if you
want them,”
Elon has given them a
chance to see the world
in miniature, Elon has
given them a chance to
make friends outside their
hometowns, Elon has giv
en them a chance to grow.
In many ways Elon has
grown. In the last few
years her academic of
ferings have been scrut
inized so that Elon may
adjust to the times.There
are more students on
campus. There are more
buildings. Elon has chan
ged and is changing. There
is one thing that mast not
change. Elon must keep
the atmosphere which
fosters high aspirations
and creativity,

We wish to thank ev
eryone who has put up
with our feeble attempts
to correct the “evils”
which have bedeviled our
campus this year. Many
have expressed kind
words about some of our
ideas and we are grate
ful to them. Some have
disagreed with us; we are
grateful for their opin
ions, too.
To Dr. Danieley, Dean
Moore, and the faculty
and staff, we express our
gratitude for all you have
done to provide the means
for our education. To Mr,
Byrd goes our thanks for
his assistance and pa
tience.
And last, but not^least,
goes my thanks to ‘ right
bank” Hook dorm for
their patience with my
typing these columns dur
ing the wee hours of the
morning.
There is one more song
that we would like to sing
before we leave. We have
sung variations of the tune
many times in this column
this year. But now it is
time to sing the theme
and take our leave. So to
you dear Elon we sing,
“Here’s to dear old Elon,
faithful and bold • • • _
