Rainey, ’22 1 In the last article I was telling about . our trip to Grenable. We arrived in I this city safe and sound, and after de training with much clash and clatter, itarted for a hotel. On our way whom should I see but my first roommate at Elon—Bill Purcell of Haw River. He was sitting at a table under the awning ofa^Iid-City Cafe and was bounded on the right flank by a beautiful Alpine girl and on the left flank ditto. Two prety ones! To this day it has remain ed a mystery to me bow anyone as homely as Bill Purcell could turn the j trick. But you know how ’tis—bow* I legged men have a way all their own. While in Grenable I met up with two f other Elon men—Cook from down f iiflund Mebaue, and Carson Franks, I for silver-toned vocal ac- Mmplishnients. Both of them were en joying life as it is lived in a I’reueh Duhersity, but I noted that they did '‘feminize” so vigorously as their I eomrade in loarning^ the before men- ' tionpd Purcell.

The result was a most pleasing harmony. It was not long before tourists and guests of the hotel began to congregate around the doors and windows giving US generous applause. We sang and ate to numerous encores. After lunch we went out in front of the hotel and engaged in an old-fash ioned snow balling affray. This was a most unusual oecurance for the loth of June so far as I was concerned. Just as we started back to Grenable we were caught in a snow storm. For tunately it lasted only about three min utes. We had a good time. (To be continued.) *.* •> *• ♦♦ ♦# «.v WEEE YOU HERE WHEN Tlie present water tank was put up! Foster Finch got a cup of eoSee down the back of his neck? B. J.

Each college gave Blue Eidge yells and yells for their sister colleges. At the evening session Miss Adelia EufBn, negro secretary of Y. W. C, delivered a most interesting and lightening address on Bace Problem,. Miss Bufiiu discussed w^hat negroes have done in the field of music and poetry, the attitude of negroes of today; their institutions of higher leai-ning, and what could be brought about by a thor ough understanding between the w'hite and colored races. Following this meeting each college gave a stunt and every one Jtad a good time. The most interesting session Sunday perhaps, was the Industrial meeting held in the afternoon. Miss Eleanor Hill and :\Uss MacDonald of North Car olina College told of their experiences the past summer when eleven and girls from the Southern colleges obtained jobs in Atlanta, Ga., in order to get first-hand information about the lives of girls in 'industry.

You can’t afford to miss it! A place of information and inspiration. “If you can’t be what you is don’ l.)e what you ain’t.” Ask the Elon delegates about the scene from the moving ^ picture show, also for general information about stunts. While the other delegates attended the meeting Saturday afternoon Sarah Carter sat up in her room grieving be cause she had gone to college at Elon instead of Trinity. Frankye Marshall was horrified and ashamed o fherself .

The Trinity dean of women was sur prised and hurt because more boys did n’t come over to see the visiting girls. She is a very fine lady, a strong believ er in co-education. The Elon delegates fell in love with her. The Elon delegates distinguished the famous “Whoop-pee girls, Elon Col- ! ” yoll by giving it at Trinity.
