Jlaroon anb #olb VOLUME IV. , ELON COLLEGE, N. C, SEPTEMBER 22, 1922 NUMBER 3 CLIOS OPEN DOORS FOR RECEPTION OF MEMBERS Society Adds Nineteen Active Members and Four Honorary Members to Roll. The initial and the initiatory meet ing of the Clio Literary society for the session of 1922-23 was held in the Clio hall last Monday evening. The work of remodeling and beautifying the hall, which is being done under the direction of the alumni of the society, has not yet been completed. How ever, the members made a decision not to postpone the initiation of new men, but to proceed with the work. As the doors were thrown open for the new men on the campus, there were nineteen promising candidates waiting to become members of the society. After the new men were received, a program full of snap and enthusiasm was rendered. The first number on the program was a speech on fellow ship and society loyalty by R. S. Eainey in his masterful style of ora tory. In this address he told the new men the derivation and meaning of Clio, and of the standard which every Clio upholds. The next number on the program was a poem, ‘^Somebody’s Mother,’’ by H. Lee Scott, in which he impressed the audience very much. Following this W. B. Wicker rendered a very humorous sketch in which he impersonated a black-face comedian. Following Mr. Wicker’s recitation Mr. Helms delivered in a very forceful style the oration, ‘‘The Death Bed Scene of Benedict Arnold.” The last number on the program was a reading rendered by H. C. Hainer. He succeeded in holding his audience spellbound throughout the entire read ing. C. M. Cannon and ‘L. W. Vaughan, two alumni of the society to whom much of the credit for the new fixtures and repair work is due, were present and gave a report of the progress of the work of remodeling. Mr. Vaughan expressed regret for the delay of the new carpet and draperies, which he said should arrive some time in the near future. When called upon for speeches the new men responded promptly and ex pressed to the society their apprecia tion on being received, and voiced the hope that they might prove active and loyal members of the organization. After the initiation of new men and the literary program was completed, a business session was declared. Dur ing the progress of this session Mr. and Mrs. Greenwood, Mrs. H. S. Hard- castle and Mrs. C. M. Cannon were unanimously elected to honorary mem bership in the society. With a reir^orceraent of 19 members and a beautifully equipped and fur nished hall, the old Clio men express the opinion that prospects for the ses sion are especially bright and prom ising. The men who were initiated and re ceived as members of the Clio society are: James P. Davis, Arthur Lee Combs, Leonard Lynch, Clarence Powell, Ken neth Sheffield, Maurice Coghill, R. W. Newman, W, A. Seawell, D, L. Harrell, J. B, Gay, S, Percy Hudaon^ W. Lassi ter McCloud, D. L. Beougher, M. T, Moore, W. S. Weathers, T. B. Pierce, Chapman White, Paul Holt, Fernando Bello. Mr. A. D. Joyner, athletic coach of Petersburg High school, was here for the week-end. GOAT RIDING FAVORITE PASTIME FOR PRI BOYS New Members Indulge in Wild Careering Around Hall— Twenty-one New Men. The goat was busy in the Philologian Literary society hall last Monday night. There were 21 new men for him to take on his rough rides. This riding in the wildest of styles was of much in terest to the members of the society. They saw of what stuff the new men are made, and the society feels that it had many new men of great value add ed to its ranks. The new Philologians showed up well under fire, and much good work is an ticipated for the year. The society laid its plans for the year at this import ant meeting, and set itself in order for work. The spirit is better than it has been in years, and there is an intense desire on the part of each member to make this the best year of Philologian history.* All the new men concur in the opin ion that they will never forget the ride on the goat, and that during the period of this wild careering about the hall they caught the Phi spirit. While the number of men admitted to the society was much smaller than has been the case for a few years, there is a feeling that the size of tlie society should be smaller. The society, while numbering 90 active members last year, was still able to carry on its work efficiently in spite of this. The following men were received into the society’s membership, and the j)ro- gram committee will put them to work without delay. Names of new members are: C. E, Sides, M. M. Johnson, F. L. Gibbs, M. L. Jones, Jack Corbitt, Bruce Bowlin, Vaughn Bowlin, Robert Loy, Hoyt Mc Pherson, Paul Braxton, Thomas Huey, W. A. Lindley, E. H. Gilliam, P. H. Gantz, Clyde Gordon, Milton Wicker, R. W. Utley, C. W. Hook, F. P. Hutton, J. V. Simpson, J. A. Goins. BROWN ELECTED SENIOR CLASS REPRESENTATIVE Unanimously Elected to Fill Vacancy Created by the Resignation of Bray. At a called meeting of the Senior class last Thursday afternoon, Grady Brown was unanimously elected as one of the three representatives of the Sen ior class in the annual Junior-Senior debate to be held in November. Mr. Brown is an able and forceful speaker. It is predicted that he wili make an unusually creditable showing for the class of ’23. Mr. Brown was elected to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Lloyd J. Bray. Mr. Bray was request ed by the faculty to resign in order to reduce the number of honor points to his credit. Under the present ruling of the administration, no student shall hold enough college honors to carry him over the one hundred mark. Mr. Bray was recently appointed by the faculty debating council as representative in the Emory-Henry debate to be held in December. Tliis made it necessary that he resign as class representative. The other Senior debaters who will, with Mr. Brown, compose the Senior debating team are Mrs. R. S. Rainey aiid Herbert Scholz. Help your college paper by sending in your subscription now. READ YOUR COLLEGE PAPER VOLUNTEERS SPEAK AT DURLIN6T0N MEETIi Members of Local Band Assist in ■ Meeting—Miss Julia Braxton Plays. Last Sunday night the Student Vol unteer Band for Foreign Missions sent out a deputation team to the Burling ton Christian church to aid in their Life-Work Recruiting campaign. Those who represented the Band were Misses Alice Barrett and Victoria Ad ams and Mr. M. J. W. White, Jr. Mr. Joseph Fix, a former member of the Band, who is now at Vanderbilt Uni versity, acted as leader. Mr. W. B. Ter rell, of the Ministerial Association, 'also spoke. Miss Julia Braxton, head of'tlie Violin Department, delighted the congregation with a solo. Dr. Lankford, pastor of the church, introduced the speakers, after which Mr. Fix, as leader, took charge of the program. Miss Adams gave an intense ly interesting talk on evangelistic mis sions, taken out of her own experi ences in Persia. She concluded her talk with a testimony of why she was a Student Volunteer, Mr, Fix spoke next on educational missions as a means of winning souls to Christ. Mr. White followed him with a message of the work and need of medical missions. Miss Barrett gave a very concise talk on social problems of Latin America, with which she is very familiar. Mr. Terrell concluded the program with a strong appeal for young men and women to enter the ministry. It is an earnest desire that some youhg life may have found his life’s work in something said or done by the speakers of the evening. NEW MEMBERS ELECTED TO STAFF OF PHIPSICLI Office of Advertising Manager Added—John Brooks to Be First Manager. The Senior class in a meeting last Thursday completed the Annual staff. The class had made several selections for this responsible work last spring. E. C. White, editor; W. L. Woody, assistant editor; John Farmer, business manager; T. H. Andrews, assistant busi ness manager, W. E. Marlette, athletic editor, and Miss Margaret Moring, art editor, had already assumed their work on the annual. In the recent election the class completed the line-up for the Phipsicli work, Mrs. Grace Rainey will edit the hu morous section, Miss Pattie Coghill will have charge of all the religious portions of the annual. Miss Mary Nelle Hol land is to arrange the social items ap pearing in the annual. i A much-needed department has been added to the staff. An advertising manager has been felt to have a place in the staff's organization, but not uatil this year has such an officer been elected. Hitherto the work of secur ing advertising has fallen to the busi ness manager, assisted by the editor. John Brooks has been chosen first ad vertising manager of the annual, and the creatipn of this offi.ce and the com ing of Mr. Brooks to the staff is a de light to the students. It is felt that Mr. Brooks will fill this new position well, and that it will greatly facili tate the work of the staff in this de partment. COMMOniTK SERVICE IS BEGUN IN THE VILLAGE Elon Students Plan Extensive Program for Community Work at Schools. The Religious Activities Organiza tion in connection with the class in Religious Education III began its work at the graded school Thursday after noon. The work will be in charge of the committee on community service of the Religious Activities Organization. Not all the details have been worked out minutely but they will be devel oped as the work progresses. This work has been in operation for two years, and the work last year was highly satisfactory. It is hoped, how-: ever, that the organization will be able to improve the methods.- A careful study is being made of the local needs as well as the general methods of the work. The committee on community service has selected the faculty for the work at the graded school as follows: For grades one and two. Miss Jennie Gun ter; grades three and four. Miss Vic toria Adams; grades five and six, Miss Mary Hall Stryker; grade seven, A. H. Hook; high school girl's. Miss Margaret Moring; high school boys, G. A, Brown. The committee will also give super vised play for the school, W. G. Ston er and W. B. Terrell will have charge of the play of the older boys. Misses Sarah Carter, Effie Bowden, Mary Nelle Holland, and Marjorie Burton will su pervise the play for the smaller chil dren and the older girls. J, H,'Dollar will have charge of tire devotional hour, and Miss Mary Gra ham Lawrence will have charge of all the music of the school and serve as pianist at the devotional service. The hand work will be in charge of Miss Essie Gotten. This department will work out its work in detail to fit in with the other work of the school. It is hoped that the hand work will fit in with the general scheme of teaching rather than be grafted on as is often ±he ease in the week-day religious schools. Miss Minnie Edge has been selected as principal of the school and will have charge of the whole of the work. Miss Edge has been connectend with the religious education work since it began the work of expansion, and is abundantly competent to take charge of the school. Miss Edge will advise with the faculty of the school, and will study the plans for improvement. On leaving college she will probably enter upon a similar field of usefulness in the church. A similar school for the colored chil dren is being planned. The facilities are limited, however, and the school will be unable to be so elaborate as that offered for the white children. It is a need and much interest is being manifested throughout the student body. A night school for the colored adults will be given as soon as the work can be organized and a faculty select ed. This school plans to offer instruc tion in the Bible, and also in the edu cational fundamentals of reading, writing and arithmetic. A course in sanitation and hygiene will also be a prominent feature of the work. It is intended that this night school for the colored adults should be intensely prac tical, and much study will be given to the local situation in the formulation of plans for the work.

INTERESTING PROGRAM AT FIRST PSI MEETING Program Short — Miss Adams Speaks Interestingly on “Girlhood in Turkey.” The Psiphelian Literary society met Monday, September 18, in regular ses sion. After a long business meeting the following program was rendered: ‘ ‘ Life of Helen Keller, ’ ’ by Miss ' Swanson. This was an account of Miss Keller’s life from early childhood until the present, including a sketch of her famous teacher. Miss Anna Mansfield Sullivan. “Athletics at Elon in 1930,” by Miss Margaret Homewood. Students will look forward to 1930 with unmeas ured delight if only a few of Miss Homewood’s optimistic predictions come true. “Girlhood in Turkey,” by Miss Vic toria Adams. This number was exceed ingly interesting. A Turkish costume added much to the effect. Everyone enjoys a description of other lands and Miss Adams added much by her charm ing personality. A duet, “Glistening Waters,” by Misses Mary Lee Foster and Annie Belle Cardwell. This was a beautiful selection and very sweetly rendered. “Latest Fashion Hints,” by Miss Doris McLean, were enjoyed very much, of course. One would expect this sub ject to appeal to the feminine mind. The young lady wore a costume belong ing to her grandmother. The program was very short owing to the fact that many Psiphelians did not return this year. It was, h(Twevfc;T7 quite up to the standard and it seems that the Psiphelians are going to do their usual high type of work this year. The judges reported the three best numbers were “Life of Helen Keller,” “Girlhood in Turkey,” and the piano duet. INITIAL MEETING HELD BY MUSIC LOVERS’ CLUB Officers of Last Year Are Be-elected— Subject of Study to Be Decided by the Committee.
