The county fair held by the Y. W. C. A. girls as the opening feature of their campaign for funds for a “Y” hut on the college campus proved a delightful success from the standpoint of entertainment, and also financially. The fair was well at tended by students, faculty members, and citizens of the town, and coming as it did on the eve of St. Patrick’s day, closed that day in the customary jollity and to the satisfaction of everyone. The county fair swung away from the old “church bazaar” idea, and was a miniature fair in every respect, with the exception of farm products. Miss Grace West was in charge of the fair and secured the best talent for the side shows and free attractions, many of them being of a high order. A silver offering was taken at the door for admission, and on the inside, lined up along a miniature midway, a (Continued on Page 3) MISS PATTIE COGHILL TO HEAD Y. W.

Rainey) The movement for the erection of a Methodist Episcopal church at Elon is well under way. The site for this new church is on College Avenue, between West End Hall and the Elon Milling Company. The lot has been arranged fpr and costs five hundred dollars. Ac cording to the plans as outlined by Mr. Daniel.Humble, one of the trustees, the building as now proposed will cost ten thousand dollars, will be built of brick, and equipped on a scale in keeping with the best modern ideas of an up-to-date church house. There will be six class rooms—four in front and two back. These rooms will be well fixed for the teaching of Sunday school classes, and in size they will be seven by sixteen feet. The main auditorium will be forty by sixty feet in seating space, and in addition will have a choir gallery nine by sixteen. The pulpit will be recessed. Conveniences are to include toilets and running water. A three-story tower will be erected in front. No time limit has as yet been set for the completion of this church building, but Mr. Humble reports that pledges are fast being made and that it looks as if the trustees will soon have enough money in hand to start work. This same authority says that Rev. W. B. North, of Burlington^ is a ‘‘prime mover in the idea” of a Methodist Episcopal church at Elon. Two of the trustees—W. W. Brown and T. J. Rouse—are also of Burlington. The trustees at Elon are Daniel Humble, Wilbert Humble, and C. I. Umstead.

PRACTICE INTERRUPTS PSIPRELIAN’S PROGRAM Only Four Young Ladies Appear on Regular Program—Miss Edge Reads Essay Due to practice preparatory to an annual entertainment, the program ren dered in the Psiphelian hall Monday night was short, but the work given by the four young ladies who appeared was of the best type. Miss Minnie Edge began the program with an essay, “Snakes.” When the title was announced everyone expected to hear a scientifi.c treatise. The sub ject was unique, but the treatment of it was even more unique. The snakes discussed were of the poisonous variety and their bite produces a slow poison. The only counteracting substance for this poison is the bite of one of the non-poisonous snakes. The poisonous snakes are those of unkindness, dishon esty, self-conceit, and selfishness. The non-poisonous snakes are those of love and good-will. Miss Edge’s essay, in stead of being a scientific treatise, was a sermon urging love and good-will to ward fellow human beings. “See America First” was the subject of Miss Rose Howell’s selection. Miss (Continued on page 4) PHI PROGRAM FEATURED RY ITS VARIED NOMRERS Debaters Discuss Treaty-Making Power of the Government —Negative Wins The program in tlie Philologian hall last Monday night was especially good, and those appearing brought the so ciety something of interest. W. T. Scott opened the program with a selec tion of rare humor, which he put across in good style, in spite of the fact that preachers aren’t suppose to have smil ing thoughts. Following Mr. Scott, H. G. Self discussed the making of a college annual. As a rule Mr. Self brings something of value, but this dis cussion was of local interest, and as Mr. Self said, few college students realize just the work which goes into the mak ing of an annual. R. 0. Sith gave a constructive talk on the effects of circumstances on char acter, but Mr. Smith admitted that there was an ‘‘If” in tlie making of a man by circumstances, and he seemed to believe that some men were better : able to overcome circumstances than others, which appeared to be due to hereditary tendancies, according to Mr. Smith. Some light was shed on the prospects, for the baseball season by G. D. Under wood, who was followed by C. L. Walk er with a retrospect of the basket ball season. Both talks were of interest since they are given by men in posi tion to be familiar with these sub jects. “How Brick Are Made,” was the subject of a short talk by J. C. White- sell. Mr. Whitesell has had consider able acquaintance with this line of work, and spoke instructively, not technically, on the subject, Dan Wicker gave Lincoln’s Gettys burg address as a declamation. He pre faced the recital with an account of its writing and delivery with some little facts indicative of Lincoln’s charac ter. Speaking on “The Chief Character istics of My Roommate,” G. L. Wil liams discussed J. T. Harrod. It is evident from the discussion that Mr. (Continuea on page 4) MAROON Ai GOLD STAFF FOR NEXT YEAR ELECTEO Bray to Be Editor—Lynam, Man aging Editor, and Gunn Business Manager The Sophomore Class met March 22 for the purpose of electing the Maroon and Gold staff for the coming year. It was a quiet, decisive election. Thfv class had met sometijne before and the importance of the matter had been stressed. It seemed that the members of the class came to tlie meeting witli their minds made up, and without a hitch the election went smoothly thruoghout. The position of Athletic Editor was created, and Frank Allston was elected to this new work. The paper has felt the need of such a member on the staff for sometime, and Mr. Allston is well fitted to do the work, knowing, as he does so thoroughly, all the line of sports in which Elon students are en gaged. The incoming staff feel confi dent that the readers of Maroon and Gold will be pleased with the work of Mr. Allston. The other positions were filled as fol lows: Editor, L. J. Bray; Managing Editor, Sion M. Lynam; Business Manager, R. H. Gunn; Assistant Business Manager, P. D. Rudd; Circulation Manager, W. L. Woody; Assistant Circulation Man ager, E. M. Smith and Miss Freda Dimmick; Advertising Manager, M, L. Patrick; Assistant Advertising Man ager, O. C. Johnson; Alumni. Editor, Herbert Scholz; Publicity Editor, M, Z. Rhodes. There is a general satisfaction witli those elected, and many have expresse the opinion that the class could noc have done better. RON. UIAYLAND COOKE TO SPEAK HERE NEXTSOiAY Under Auspices of the Religious Activities Organization—Is Well Known Here It will be good news on the campus to know that the Hon. A. Wayland Cook^, of Greensboro, N. C., is to be the Religious Activities Organization speaker under the auspices of the Sun day school department for March. Mr. Cooke is no stranger here. Dur ing the S. A. T. C. period,—those dire ful days that seem a generation distant, but which many of che upper classmen remember,—Elon was cheered on sev eral occasions by the eloquence of Mr. Cooke. He was a peculiarly gripping speaker on the central issues involved in the World War. His coming to Elon, therefore, at this time, will be looked forward to with keen anticipation, and Maroon and Gold can guarantee that all who hear him will be amply repaid with a good bonus besides. Mr. Cooke is the law partner of Major Stedman, Congressman from this district. He was the wartime post master of the city of Greensboro, ask ing several times to be relieved of his official duty, but always being refused by the postal department. He has re cently been relieved regretfully by President Harding, which goes to show the type of public-spirited citizen he is. Mr. Cooke is one of that noble army of distinguished lawyers in this State who by sheer determination have achieved a place of distinction in pub- (Continued on Page 3)
