OLDEST AND STATELIEST BUILDING ON CAMPUS RAZED BY DEMON FIRE (CoiitiDued From Page One) was too far advanced and they could do nothing. The firemen returned, but were almost immediately recalled to the scone of the fire.when it was discov ered that the Alumni Building was burn ing. On this trip they were able to rcjuler ^reat aid to the college students Dear Willy: Listen to this. I believe I have a regular girl, someone to talk about, thoir l.rnvo figlit to save the build-idream about aud be jealous with. Its the same one I rote about last week, the fair Azurea Bolster. So for every time 1 writes a note 1 gets an answer and its playing thunder with my lessons, but it aint every day, Billy, you can get someone to fall in (To the memory of Addii' ilcCauley, January 15, 1923) God walked in a garden one morning,- A garden of roses rare,— And Night had left on tlie roses The jewels she wore in her hair. To gather a rose for His bosom Came He to this garden fair. He saw' tliere among the roses A bud of celestial white. And lovingly gathered that rosebuil So beautiful to His sight. And placed it upon His bosom To be an eternal delight. The roses about it were stricken With grief for the one that had tlown. They felt that their sister was blighted Ere half of her beauty was known: Nor knew that their God had chosen That rose to adorn His throne. THE BROKEN HEART OF ELON (Thursday Evening. January 18, 1923) mg. The girls emptied the West Dormi tory of their personal belongings early in t)ie excitement. The boys did not begin the process of clearing their build ing of their personal effects until it was known that the Alumni Building was burning. Trunks and other be longings were scattered broadcast over the campus, anl much trouble will be experienced in re-arranging tlie furni ture of the buildings. The fire in the Alumni Buibling was soon brouglit under perfect control and extinguished, though every precaution is being taken to safeguard^the build ing should there still remain smoulder ii)g sparks in the roof, where the fire occurred. It is not known where the fire orig- iinated. It has been suggested that it was ]>robably caused by a short c*ir- cuit of the electric wiring of the build- ling. Tliere are no signs of incendiary origin, and no cause is known to have existed for such an origin. • The authorities have announced no plans for recoiistruction. but a meeting of the executive board has been called for Monday. At this meeting it is. ex pected tliat plans will be laid for the work of rebuilding. Telegrams have been poming in to Dr. Harper express ing sympathy and pledging support to the college in this calamity. The faculty met at noon Thursday and formulated plans to continue the class work. All the work of the col lege has been arranged for and the work was continued today with only the loss of’one day’s work. During the day the Alumni General Secretary, Mr. G. C. Donovan, rushed a letter to the alumni informing them of the cata^itrophe which had befallen Elon. love with you, and wdiat are studies worth anyhow if 1 gets married some time.

You can gather from the above, the below and between the lines that T'ni not so much altogether crazy about von going with him as he has so many girls and only means for to break vour heart, and w^hen your heart is broke it cant be patched up like an old downcast flivver. Wlien you is going with me I thinks conversation ■with others should be by the limits of asking them to pass you something to eat. If you cant agree with me then dont come near us today witli no kisses or sweet words for we is mad. Hoping this will lead you to your senses very quickly, I remains as usual, DUMBELL.

DEATH OF LITTLE ADDIE McCAULAY GREAT SHOCK (Continued from page one) Cale]l, Kirkland, Scott, White. Scholz and Colclough, and the (lower girls were “Misses Pritchette, Loy, Jones, Atkin son and two other classmates. The floral opering was beautiful, and the designs sent by her class and school attested to the high esteem in which she was held. The services were concluded at the cemetery, where tKe little white casket and its precious burden will await His coming. As the great orb of day slowl}^ nestled down into the horizon its glow seemed to soften as it cov ered the broken heart of Elon. The broken, crumbling walls of the Administration building were to the solemn onlookers symbolic of the rended heart of Klon ; but the tall, stately walls of the tower, standing defiantly against the strong wind that was sweeping dow'n upon the scene of devasta tion, were SA nibolic of the staunch undying spirit of loyalty and ser vice that permeated the hearts of every friend who knew of Elon’s loss. The .Vdminist ration Building was a monument to the service of men who labored and gave their li\es to the great cause of education. It was a token of the highest ideals of man—Christian character. It was built by men who brought prematurely to their temples the silver of age; by men W’ho sold their own possessions in order to create a temple of Christian education. The Administration Building is gone. But in the minds and hearts of those who love Klon the memor\' of these noble men will live fore\ er. Nothing can eradi cate or dim the memory of men whose deeds were actuated by such high and noble ideals. Already the students, faculty and friends have lifted their tear- dimmed e\ es from the ruins of what was once the Administra tion Building and have turned them toward a bigger and l)etter Elon: one that will be another symbol of the love and sacrifice of those who have arid those who hive not niread)' tisted the sweet ness of sacrificc for a w’orthy cause.
