This week saw the Clu-istiiin ceain come out victorious over its ancient rival, Guilford, and lose to tlie Bai)tist quint ou the home floor. lioth games were well played and interesting and drew large crowds. Wake Forest Game Wake Forest was victor o\-er Elon by a 22 to 20 score here last Friday night in a game that was slow during the first period but which perked up and finished with a series of fast-actiou thrillers. Flon took the lead eai*ly in the first half and held a point or two ahead with Wake Forest tagging closely behind. 9 and 8 was the score at the intermission, and about the middle of the following period the Baptists got n\) steam and overtook the Christian lead. From then until the final whistle ended the fray it was nip and tuck with one side register ing a field goal and then the other in almost alteruate turns, the ball passing from one extreme of the court to the other so fast that the eye of the spec tators could hai'dly follow it, and just before the game ended it was the Bap tist turn to score, which they did and annexed the game. CIo!e guarding in the initial period kept the scoring down, only two field goals being registered, two for Elon and one for Wake Forest. The passing game of the visitors w’orked well. Captain Fix was the outstanding star for Elon with six field goals to his credit. Heck man and Pagano did the best work for the visitors. The Brow'n brothers. “Rob" and *‘Alph,” were absent from the line-up lu this game because of the death of their sister. Perry for the home team and Carlyle for the visitors both received four per sonal fouls and substitutes took their places. Swift, determined, and accurate playing characterized the last half of the contest, with the large audience ^‘yelling its head off” for its favorite team.

Guilford experienced difficulty in find ing the basket with their shots, and this conpled with poor work from the foul line put them out of the running. At The inevitable has happened! The old historic Psipheliau Society has divid- (m1 into two permanent, separate, new societies. 'Phere has been need for this division for the last few years for the old society had outgrown the accomo dation of the Psiphelian Ilall. But it seems that the love for Psiphelian and the sentiment for all its traditions made the members loathe to divide and become members of a society other than Psi phelian. Since the fire the young ladies have become more practical in their ideas and though they still have the old love for Psiphelian they have realized now is the time for the division as all the old records and constitution are no more, and they would have to start anew anyway. His At a joint meeting of the two divisions of the old society it was decided to leave it to the choice of the girls as to which one they would join. Of course there were many who felt they could never be other than Psiphelian. others who were indifferent, and still others who realized that it w^as up to somebody to start the new. The indifferent ones were divided evenly between the Psiphelian and the new. There are thirty-seven charter mem bers of the Psychaleon Literary Society Each Psychaleon girl is very enthusias tic over the ideals set forth in the meet ings and each member is working with a vim to set the highest of standards for the society to which they have given their allegiance. The prospects for the future of Psychaleon Society are very bright. ANNyAL BANIIUET HELD BY BETA OMICIION BETA Miss Lawrence Toastmistress—Delight ful Course Binner is Served.

It is great liow yon of the stndeiit body have stood behind theni. "To the football men let me say, if you will remember the one lesson of self sacrifice that you have learned ou the football field 1 will feel that I have at least done one good deed for you.” As the coach took the gold footballs from the box he made a few remarks about the characteristic of each individ ual.

Dr. Harper declared. ‘‘It was a most delightful ses sion. Xot a thing happened to mar the fellowship and Christian spirit of the occasion, because tw'o branches of the Church of Christ met seeking to know and to do His will.” The agreement that was adopted by the commissioners jointly reads as fol low’s : *'We, representing the Free Will Bap tist and Christian Churches hereby agree : “1. That Jesus is the head of Church. ‘•2. That the Bible is the sufficient rule of faith and practice. “H. That Christian character is the l>roper test of fellowship in^ the Church of Christ. "4. That the right of private judg ment or the liberty of conscience is a lirivilege and duty of all. *‘.5. That the reciprocity of ministers and members betw’een our churches is desirable. 0. That the name of the Church of Christ is a matter for His followers to determine, though Christian is a proper name for all believers. “7. That the local church should be autonomous. “8. That fraternal delegates should be interchanged for our public assem blies. “9. That we should write for each other’s periodicals and visit and use each other's institutions. ■‘10. That a United Protestantism is the goal of our Churches,” Dr. Harper further stated that it was agreed to exchange tw’o hundred copies of the Free Will Baptist and The Chris tian Sun, mailing them to leaders in the respective churches.

Miss Brown was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Brown of this community and was, at the time of her death, about tw'enty-two years of age. Death was caused by peneumonia which follow’ed a severe at tack of influenza. She is survived by a sorrowing father and mother, five broth ers, four sisters and a host of lovin; friends. Miss Brown was one of the most popu lar yoiuig ladies here and throughout the state. She filled an important place in the social and religious life of the community. She had a sweet, winsome personality which endeared her to ever one who knew her. Her lovable charac ter and rare personal charm made the community life more enjoyable: her life in the home made that of her dear ones sunny and cheerful for there was never a more beautiful spirit than hers. She did so much in every way to make the \\orld a sweater and a happier place for having lived in it. Relatively speaking, her years ^^•ere not many but she has lived much and her service to other cauuot be estimated. Lives are not counted by days and years but by the richness and fuluess of these. Hers was indeed rich and full and sweet. Life held so much for Miss Brow^n- it was so dear to her. She was especial ly talented in art having graduated in that department from Elon College in 1022. Not only in art but in voice w’as a wonderful career prrdii ted for her. She loved the beautiful with all the ardor of the true artist-sonl and this part of her nature was revealed by her own beautiful life and fine ideals. The impressive funeral service was held in the home because of illness in the family. It was conducted by Dr. N. G. Newman, assisted by Dr. W. C. Wicker and Rev. J. W. Patton. Special selec- : tions were renderecl by a male quartette. 1 (Continued on page two.)
