Lynam ENDINGS I saw the sun go down today Behind a bank of clouds; I saw the folk come home from work In laughing, hurrying crowds. I heard a mother’s lullaby; I heard an evening prayer; And Xature dressed herself for sleep While 1 was waiting there. I felt a heart-beat weaker grow, I saw the distant gaze, And kne^' the eyes saw other things lu long-forgotten days. I saw the lips attempt to speak, But heard not wliat they said; I saw the eyelids close at last, And knew the man was dead. Wearing the Senior derbies and carrying the Senior canes a visi tor wondered it the Sophomores were not imitating' Charlie Chap lin. We are wondering what the Seniors are imitating when they wear them. The last lap of the race tests the mettle of the runner. We are about to enter on the last lap of the college year. Let’s brace up and put our best into it. team that needs our boosting, and given that fully it is our belief that our baseball team can turn the season into a pretty good show despite the bad beginning. We have the best individual material that we have had in a long time for the turning out of a real baseball team, but something is missing. Games that ought to be victories seem to be defeats. It may be the fault of some of us who aren’t in uniform too. At any rate it is our team, winning or losing, and it is our business to boost that team to the end. Loyalty isn’t loyalty at all un less it can know defeats and still be true. It is easy to yell when the team is winning, but yells are needed most when that team is losing. Our team needs our sup- ;/Ort- They are fighting for their college and our college; let’s help them, and be boosters to the end. Let’s really believe in the team which represents us, and our be-' lieving may go a long way toward helloing them to victory. THE MIDDLE O’ THE EOAD Each year slings in its quota From farm and busy street, For tile mill to grind, to be refined. To be turned out complete. Some lie down on easy street. Others work the livelong dayj The lirst retreat and show defeat When hardships come their way. The last get glued to the pages, Forget the wind and sunj Glimpsing only the stages of remote ages Still leaves a lot undone. A school is not a dustheap. Or a foppish promenade. Where bookworms creep, or dull drones sleep; There’s a better road to tread. Listen Billy HOW ABOUT A LIFE? It isn’t every day that we have an opportunity to save a life. It is one of the big things that come to us now and then. During the next month you are going to have that opportunity. There are mill ions of people who will freeze during the coming winter in the Near East unless we in America prevent it. North Carolina has been allotted thirty thousand of these to save, and North Carolina is dependng on her sons and daughters to help in this salvag ing of human life. We are not being asked to risk our own lives in the saving of theirs, nor even to make a big sacrifice. W'e are asked to give our old clothes, things that we will never wear again, perhaps; that is all. None of us would hesitate to save the life of the fellow who lives next to us, but are we brave and thoughtful enough to aid in this wholesale IKe-saving cam paign? Jt is just as real as any life-saving need. Get out your old clothes right now, and turn them over to the Near East Re lief. They will gladly do the rest. The editor of Maroon and Gold will be glad to see that these old clothes get to the place of service, if vou don’t want the trouble. Dear Rilly: Ilore I am on thp liiu^ ajiaiu. Been missinj? your letters but the newspapers says \\e‘ve been changing Postmaster Genei'als several times and the new boys must not know where I am. I am thinking of organizing me a soc ial club fraternity. I would be the charter member and would get to swat everybody and if they tried to swat me would run and hide the Bl-Law.s and then there wouldn’t be no social club. Another thing in favor of this is that we wouldn't have to ha\’e no annual ban quet this year and we could take our money and buy a little something to eat every day insted of eating it all at once done up in expensive crape paper. Well after the gang had got almost enough rolls in the dining hall they looks about for other diversion and 1 suggests, like the idea had just striked me, that put all the Sunyers at one table. They crowds for it and we student body I is tickled to death cause there ain't no oue at our table now blabbering external ly about orations and receptions and caps and gowns and what are we going to do when we have graduated and they have locked the dining hall. Well the Seenyrs crowds around their table and it sounds like 0th inning of a tie game. I wondered where they got HO much to make a racquet o\er and then I finds out tliat one of the birds knows most all of T'ncle Ned's jokes and has been telling them aiid giving everybody hystericks. One day they gives the table to the Soft Moores to keep them from going honie. 'Fhe Soft Moore’s looks almost as good as Seenyrs. They said the dif- fernnce is in wJiat their heads is lined with. They is only 1-2 so far advanced as tlie Seciiyrs. It takes a long time to grow Solid Ivory. Well I’ve got to go to class, to send me my tennis rackit. witli only two strings broke, with every good wish, Serenely yoiirs, DT'.MRELL. Hang on to the best in the two— Mix up your work and play; You won’t be so blameless, nor yet so aimless On graduation day.

Tell mom The one I remain COACH DABBS WILL TAKE TRACK TEAM TO DURHAM (Continued from Page One) BOOSTERS TO THE END Anybody can support a win- ninsj cause or team. 1 he real test comes with revei'ses. We are knowing such a test, and we hope that we will be the sort of people who can boost to the end. It is easy for a winning team to win, and it doesn’t take so much encouragement. It is the losing who will be selected for this trip to Trinity. The followijig week the Elon squad will meet N. C. State on Tlmrsday at N. C. State, and on the 26th, just one week later, the team will go to Guil ford for a meet. Coach Dabbs, says every position on the team is open and if a man comes out and makes it, it is his place. The team will be selected for each meet. No places are sure. Mr. I'inley Thomas of the University of North Carolina was a visitor here Sunday. (By H. C. HAINER) The Reidsville High schol track team triumphed over her two opponents, Greensboro High and Burlington High teams, here last Friday in the triangu lar meet held on Comer field. The win ner's total was 52^^ points. Burling ton Highs came second with 45 points, and Greensboro last with points. During the early stages of the meet it looked as if the fight was to be be tween Greensboro and Burlington, but with the advent of the field events Reidsville forged ahead and won the meet. The high scorer of the day was Rid dle of Burlington with two ifirsts and two second places, a total of 16 points. He was closely puslied by Miller of Reidsville who was the second highest individual scorer with 13 points, two first places and one second. The whole meet was hotly contested and the winners in most cases won by a very narrow margin. In the dashes Wyrick of Greensboro was the man of the hour, winning both the 100-yd. dash and the 220-yd. dash. In both events, however, he was hard pushed by Riddle of Burlington. Coe of Greensboro showed fine form in the 880-yd. run^ while Stallings of Reidsville won the 440-yd. run with out any apparent effort. The weight events were the surprise of the day, Delaney of Reidsville in the shot, Riddle of Burlington in the dis cus, and Miller of Reidsvile in the jave lin far outshining their opponents. The jumps were more closely contested, Rid dle beating Miller by a scant inch in tlie broad jump. Miller finally won out in the high jump, while his team mate, Neal, took the pole vault. The relay races were won without niuch lifficulty by Greensboro. It was splendid, however, to watch the efforts of Stallings, Reidsville’s anchor man, cut down the enormous lead of his op- ponentSj which he did to a great extent.

C., April 11.—Because they “desire above everything else united loyalty and constituency for the Insti tution,” the Board of Trustees of Daniel Rhyne College (Lenior College) in ses sion here at their annual meeting voted to make the name of tlie institution Lenoir-Khyne. instead of Daniel Rhyne as decided in January. 'I’his change was made in conformance wicJi a request of the Ahnnni Associa tion in March, and with the consent of Mr. Rhyne. The first change of name was made as an expression of gratitude to Mr. Rhyne when he gave Lenoir $.300,000. A num ber of Alumni desired to preserve the old name of the college and brought this request before the Board, and upon their request decision was made to call the in stitution Lenoir-Rhyne. The Alumni Association at the same time promised its whole-hearted and un stinted support to the present effort of obtaining $850,000 for erecting buildings and increasing endowment. The board e.xpresses the hope that with the present name of the institution the co-operation of Alumni and ex-stud^nts will be much increased. PROF.
