S. C. HARRELL, ’09, Durham, N. C. STAND IN YOUR PLACE By Bertha Paschall, ’21 In a few weeks mofher E]on will send out nnother band of young people to face the world with its many battles and serious problems. Mother Elon has for a number of years sent out men and women with some important mis sion. Her cliiklren are scattered all over the earth. Elon's watchword is Service, as each of us who liave gone out from that in stitution knows. I Avonder if those of us who lia>'e been so fortunate are stand- ini; steady in our places. AVe all belong to the great army of the world, which is fighting to make ours a better na tion. Sometimes I wonder if some of us liave forgotten mother Elon's w’atch- word. 'Tis true we are serving our na tion. after a fashion, but are we standing in our pUicesV Are we fighting our own battles'.' .Vre we doing our wliole duty towards our college and our nation? Are we not standing idle and letting the forces of evil destroy our nation? There are times in the life of every individual when it seems that failure must come. Misfortune conies to every one, and it is then that we so easily fall victims to the terrible monster, discour agement. if we do not stand sijuai’eiy in our places. Surely none of Eloji's graduates was more deeply pained than this one when the news reached me that the buildin, in whicii 1 received a greater part of my training, had been consumed by fire. I could nor believe that it -was all gone. In tlie same news which told of the great misfortune, came this news. “It will be rebuilt. ' Alma Mater stands in her place regardless of misfortune and dis couragement. She will not fail. I won der if l-:ion can count on us and we can couni on lier. Elon will ever be loyal to us. we should prove our loyalty by doing our best for her in this time of distress. Several days ago I was conversing with an old Elon student. She made this re mark. “Oh I if I had only gone on and finished college while 1 had the oppor tunity. Those days in college were the hapi)iest days of my life.” That state ment put me to thinking, opportunity may never come to this person any more. We should encourage the young people more. 1 think it is the duty of each of us whom Elon has sent out as an ex ample of hre teachings, to be the best examples possible, to do our best to send students to Elon. If we would stand squarely in our places and hold the light before those who have not had these w^on- derful privileges, then Alma Mater would have just cause to be proud of her chil dren. Elon is ivbuilding a bigger better Elon. Cannot we be bigger, better EJonites? During the war Mr. Smith was a chap lain in the Expeditionary Forces. He receives the PIi. I), degree from Yale this spring, having pursued work there sev eral years and at the same time hold ing a pastorate in the city of New Haven. Mr. Smith expects to reside at Elon.

(,\ A. meeting Sunday night was of unusual interest, the program be ing varind. yet each number pertaining to the same theme. The topic was “(’hristian Kindness." and as Sunday was Mothers Day it was very appropriate for that meeting. 'I’lie meeting was opened by a song, after >\hich Miss Nannie Aldridge, the leader, read two beautiful little poems: one “Kindness.”’ by Edgar A. Guest' the other. ‘‘Is This Y'ou?*’ by Mrs. Sal- li'e !McXeer. A prayer followed the reading of these poems. One of the sweetest numbers on the program was a vocal solo. ‘Tyittle Mother of ^line,” I)v Miss Fisher. It w'as sung sweetly and with much expression. Fol lowing this Miss Lucy Austen read a selection entitled. “Mother,” and Miss Isabelle Dixon a little poem. ‘'My Altar.” A song was then sung to the tune of ‘America.*’ the words of which paid a beautiful tribute to mothers. The fact was clearly brought out that we cannot think of our mothrs without thinking of kindness. 'I'he meeting was closed by a chain of sentence prayers. NEW YEAR-BOOK GIVES PROOF OF STAFF’S WORK Students Well Pleased With New Phi- PsiCli Distributed Here Late Yesterday. The arrival of the annuals (I'hipsi cli) is always looked forward to and is a great event on the campus. Yester day A\-as no excep^tion and the annuals, which were tni-ned over to the students in the late afternoon, were the subject of attention on the campus until dark drove them in where they continued to peruse ils pages by tlie use of the light. Naturally the students are interested in these books since they show events and work of the college for the year. Hut this year the annual is especially deserv- of attention for it is one of the nic>st books e^-er put out by any class at Elon, and claimed by some to be the best. The book is well arranged in every respect. Each department of the college is well represented in the annual. The sponsor .section is one of the features of the book this \ear. It is the most at- tarctive part of the annual. The an nual is published by the senior cla.ss of the college and this year's senior class can feel justly prond of the Phipsicli. It sliows that no amount of energy has been spared in making it a book w'orthy of the class and the college it represents. The class made a wise selection in choosing E. C. M’hite to edit tfieir an imal and no less wisdom was shown when they chose J. M. Farmer to assist him as business manager. These two men iun’e labored liard and faithful in an ef fort to bring out the IMiipsicli on time and to make it up to the standard. How tln'y have succeeded is evidenced by the praise the book is receiving from the ^tiuh'uts. 'rin‘ir efforts have not been in \’ain and th(>y (*an feel justly proud of their labor. These two men have be*n ably as.sisted by a competent staff of assistanti?. There has been co-operation in getting out the hipsicii and now that they are here 1 who contributed to making it a success can share in the glorv.
