Division I of the Psipheliau Society
rendered a very instructive and enter
taining program Monday night, after
having a few weeks rest for examina
tions and the holidays. Practically all
the members were buck and judging
from the program given it .showed tliat
the girls had put foith their best effort
to begin the New Year aright.
The first number on the progi*am was
an original dialogue, “It pays to Ad
vertise,” by Misses Sarah Carter and
Ruth Hill. The dialogue was' very
humorous and enjoyable for the charac
ters were local and well impersonated.
One could have easily guessed who the
charactrs were without being told.
Miss Essie Cotten read a ppaper on
the life of Thomas Nelson I^age and gave
a synopsis of “Marse Chan*’. Miss Cot-
ten’s paper brought out some interest
ing facts pertaining to this great man’s
life. Another interesting i>paper also
’was read by Miss Kate Strader on “My
Favorite Musician, Edward Greig.”
Miss Mary Lee Williams brought the
society some news of interest in her
paper on local events. According to
Miss William's paper quite a few of
the girls had sj)ecial visitors during the
holidays.
The Society always enjoys original
stories, thus Miss Lena Jackson’s,
*‘Snawstorm”, was very much appreciat
ed by all.
The concluding number on the pro
gram was a reading. “Annabel Lee,” by
Miss Annie Mae Charnock, which she
rendered in her own pleasing manner.
Those receiving special mention for
fhe evening were Misses Carter, Hill,
Williams and Jackson.
A special feature of the evening was
when Misses Florence Fisher, Katlileen
Belcher and Dr. TIelfenstein were chosen

The IClon College basket ball team
will start the season next week. The
team will leave Elon Monday for the
Virginia trip. On this trip they will
play V. 1*. 1.. King College, Emory and
Henry C’oIIege and Carson and Newman
College. Y. P. L will be the first team
to try the strength of the Maroon and
(toUI team. This will be on the even
ing of the 10. Next will be King Col
lege, after which will come Emory and
Henry and Carson and Newman. All
of these teams are said to be strong
and they will give the Elon five great
experience which they may use to gi-eat
advantage against our own state teams.
So it is that this trip will give Coach
Corboy the necessary information as to
the strength of the team as a whole and
as to the ability of each individual.
Of course the team feels sure of winning
the most of these games but they will
be hard and for this reason they have
been arranged.
Since the holidays the team has been
hard at work. Twice a day they have
had practice but Coach reports the team
developing very slowly because of' lack
of good condition on the part of several
of the last year's players, and it is ex
pected that this trip will show the exact
condition of these individuals, and to

paign to Be Personal and
Intensive.
Dr. N. G. Newman, pastor of the Elon
Oollege Church, announces that Dr. Roy
•C. Helfenstein will conduct the series
of evangelistic services here this year.
This announcement will be gladly re
ceived by Elon students who know the
power and earnestness of Dr. Helfeu-
stein.
The Annual series of evangelistic ser
vices will begin on Tuesday following
the third Sunday, and will continue for
only four days. Dr. Helfenstein will
speak twice each day, once at the chapel
service, and in the evening. The cam
paign is to be an intensive one. such as
Dr. Helfenstein is- so well prepared to
conduct.
Dr. Helfenstein is pastor of the Peo-
l>le's Church in Dover, Delaware, and
at the recent meeting of the American
H^hrifitian -Convention was made head
of the newly created department of
^‘vangelism. His reputation as an evan
gelist is well known throughout the
Christian Church and elsewhere. He is
a member of the department of evan
gelism of the Federal Council of
Churches, and this speaks much for his
power and efficiency in this line of
Christian work.

Students and faculty of the college
will be interested to learn that most of
the preliminary work has been done on
the college annual, and that the book is
rapidly being rounded into shape for
early publication. Most of the manu
script has been collected and is being
revised and made ready for mailing to
tlie printers as fast as possible. The
prints have been received from the
photographers and are being mounted
and sent to the engravers as fast ns
the staff can do the work.
Because of the fact that in the mak-
insr of an annual so much work must
be done at one time the staff felt the
need of another assistant on the edi
torial staff. At a meeting of the sen
ior class last Tuesday 'SI. 7-. Hhodes
was elected a.ssociate editor to fill this
need. Rhodes is one of the ijiost
capable men in the senior class. He
occupied a position on tlie editorial
staff of his high school annual, and is
therefore eminently fitted for this posi
tion through both experience and natu
ral capablity. He immediately entered
into the work with enthusiasm and the
work is going forward with a snap.
The staft expects to get the annual
out in time for those who desire one or
more to get them in April. It would be
well, however, to place orders for the
book now as there will be ojily enough
published to meet the orders placed.
Those who have not order('d a copy
should see Mr. Fanner, tiie business
manager, at once and place an order
else it may be too late. Tlie price of
the book will be five dollars per copj.
New books are continually being add
ed to the library now covering the vari
ous departments of the college. The
most important* ones added in the la,st.
few months are those in the Chemistry
and Religious Education departments.

these students were married during the
holidays, and have returned to coutinue
their studies here.
Mr. White, of the sjonior class, was
manied to Miss Annie I>aura Grixzard
on December 2T. ^Ir. AMiite is presi
dent of the senior class and editor of

W. B. Terrell Becomes Pastor—Plans
For Large Work Being
Formulated.
At its regular monthly meeting last
'I’hursday afternoon, the junior class
entered into the election of the two men
who will direct the publication of the
annual for next year. George Dewy
Colclough was chosen editor and J. D.
Barber was selected as business man
ager.
In going into the election of these
ofticers at this time the class was of
the oj)inion that the men chosen for
these responsible positions would be able
to gain much valuable information from
a study of the present staff’s work. It
was the wish of the class to give the
coming annual chiefs the privilege of ob
serving the present college year book in
the making. Th^ir election will enable
these men to come to their work with
much knowledge which otherwise they
could not have.
Much of the important work of next
year's annual will be done during the
present college year> Contracts will be
let, and possibly some work done on the
next Phipsicli.
Mr. Colclough is admirably fitted to
direct the destiny of this important col
lege publication. His steady and con
scientious work, and his methodical
habits give him a decided advantage in
this line.
Mr. Barber is now serving as adver
tising manager of Maroon and Gold, and
his work in this position has been all
that the class could wish. He is a com
petent business executive, as his pre
vious record has shown, and under his
management the annual will have an
excellent opportunity to grow in popu
larity and service.
These two men will make an admir
able combination for the making of the
11)24; number of the Phipsicli.
On last Sunday morning the Roligi
ous Activities Organization began the
work of a Junior church. All the chil
dren of the town under 12 will be wel
comed to this junior church, and Rev.
W. B. Terrell has undertaken the pas
torate of this new venture.

SOCIETIES NO LONGER
CAN USE MEMBERS OF
THE OPPOSITE SEX IN
ENTERTAINMENTS
After two years of experience in
having both male and female char
acters in the annual entertainments
of the literary societies, the faculty
has decided that it is in conflict
with the best interests of the college.
At a recent meeting of the faculty
the ruling was definitely made that
after this year no literary society
would be allowed to play characters
of the opposite sex.
ing done by the class in Religious Edu
cation III, which uses the work as lab
oratory requirements.
The organization of the new endeavor
in this untried field of a junior church
is meeting with a hearty interest on
the part of the students and the par
ents of the children. While the work
has just begun, and only Mr. Terrell
has been definitely assigned to the
work, the plans for further work are
being worked out by Mr. S. M. Lynam,
cjiairman of the community service
committee, who hag the supervision of
the entire work in the practical appli
cation of religious education here. It
is thought that the junior church will
be given all the adequate modern offi
cers for the proper conduct of its work.
A social secretary to assist the pastor
is being contemplated, and also a choir
director, who shall be well versed in
children’s music. The newly under
taken work promises to enlist a large
interest. The enthusiasm of the chil
dren is gratifying to those in charge of
the work.
Dr. Harper is acting as an advisor
in the whole work, and the best books
on the subject are being used as aids
in the work.
President Harper has definitely accept
ed the work as Secretary of the Depart
ment of Christian Education, and has
already begun his w'ork. Since he is
to remain I’resident of Elon, there is
no salary attached to the position, but
the department is to provide otfice space
and stenographic service.
The plans which Dr. Harper has draft
ed for the work were approved at the
Dayton meeting or the board, and are
i-eceiving high commendation from the
]nost prominent figures in the religious
education world.
Dr. Harper has been requested to
prepare a paper on the task for the
churches for the next twenty years, and
this paper is to be used by Dr. Cope,
(Jeneral Secretary of the Religious Edu
cation Association, as a basis for the
discussion of the coming meeting of the
association. It is understood that Dr.
Harper’s plans for the new work of the
(.’hristian Church are to form the basis
for this paper. He is also gathering
statistics for Dr. Cope concerning the
week day schools of religion in North
Carolina.
The plans have been requested for
use in the religious education classes of
the University of Boston by Dr. Walter
