C, MARCH 26, 1924 NUMBER 34 Junior-Senior Reception Is One of the Most Beautiful Social Occasions of Season held FRIDAY P.M. W. B. Terrell is Toastmaster and Welcomes Guests—Lynam Re sponds for Senior Class. COLORSCHEMEHANDSOME Toasts, Eeadlngs, Music and Jokes Make Evening Enjoyable for AU Those Present. The annua] Junior-Senior reception is an event in the Klon College life which is eagerly looked forward to by both Juniors and Seniors. It is significant in that it is riie only time in the lives of two classes at which the Junior class can be host to the Senior class—the class which had so royally welcomed and entertained it upon its first avnval on the hill. The reception given Friday evening, March 21. by the class of ’25 in honor of the class of ’24, was an event which will long be a happy n)(?niory with all those who were present. A part of the girls' gymnasium had been partitioned off and was artistically draped with fluted sti-ands of green and gold crepe paper. The paper was fasten ed in the center to the ceiling, and being fastened low on the walls it gave the interior a tent-like appearance, oblong in shape. The color scheme of green and gold, the colors of the present Senior class, was carried out in all the decora tions, in the lighting system and in the menu. One electric lamp hung low in the center of the room and tliis was draped in the crepe paper in the two-tone effect. On each table two caudles—one green and the other gold—were burning. The tables themselves were covered with gold «repe paper having strips of the green running across them. The guests found their places at the tables by means of attractive placards, Aladdin’s lamp done in gold, the emblem of the Senior class. The favors were dainty baskets of green and gold paper filled with peanuts. When the guests had found their places, Mr. \V. B. Terrell, president of the Junior class, gave the Seniors and their guests a most cordial welcome. Mr. S. M. Lynam, a member of the Senior class, made a very appropriate response to this address of welcome. Mr. J. N. Denton ga\ e a toast to' the Seniors which was res])ond(‘d to by Miss Lucy Austin. A toast to I'rofessor Green wood, sponsor of the class of ’24, was given by Miss Kate Strader. Readings were given by ^Misses Miunie Sockwell and Jennie fTuuter and Mr. Leon il liams. Vocal and piano music was furnished by Misses ^ladge Mofiitt and Mary Lee Foster. !Mrs. A. IL ITook. and Mr. C. I*. Flynn. Jokes, rich, varied and spicy, were used throughout the evening. The menu, which formed an important part of the program for the evening, consisted in punch, veal salad saltines, Neapolitan ice cream in and gold and kisses. Those to whose hospitality this very enjoyable event was due are; S. H. Abell, W. J. Apple, York Brannock, Archie Braxton, Margaret L. Corbitt, J. H. Dollar. C. II. Dunn. Winnie Durant, W. C. Elder. C. T. Flynn, Mary Lee Foster, Lillian Harrell, Nettie Harris, Bertha Isley, Ohiyo Ito.

The iloors are being poured and the ]>lasterers are busy with the walls. 'J'hc electricians are finishing their part of the work. The big dome which contains about 50 lights, has already been lighted up and is very beautiful. All the lights are to be concealed in this building. This building is to be known as the AVhitley Memorial Building and is given by J. M. Darden, of Suffolk, Va.

Aldridge, Kva Graham, Hazel Anman, Lena Itussell, Lou Heritage, Callie Isley and Frances Turner. Jlisses Anne Grace Von Cannon and Irene Stephems of High Toint, N. C., visited Miss Kuth Von Cannon here Stm- day and Monday. One of the most exciting and alto- g*ther en.ioyal)le occasions of the year, occurred Thursday night in the West Dormitory Annex. To begin with, the Senior girls were all invited, but even curiosity—that pre dominating element in a woman’s make up. had been unable to ferret out who the givers of the i^arty were. The in vitations read, “A Colonial Party,” and on the back of each card was found the name of one of our famous American men of colonial days. There was also the request “K. V. P.’’ to Box 814, which, upon investigation, was found to be Miss Morrow's and Mrs. Ilungee’s. They merely smiled when questioned and kept their peace. The rumors were thick and many. The Faculty, tlie Sophomores, Mrs. Kirkland were all accused, but all of them said they had not been invited. Thursday night came. Colonial cos tumes. with their I'uffles and flounces, paraded through the halls. Kight- thirty came. Simultaneously on numer ous doors knocks were heard and colonial gentlemen with their wigs and laces entered, claiming their lady friends. They were the Sophomore girls. AVith a sigh of relief at their gratified curiosity, the Seniors prepared to have a good time. They were led to the Art Studio with much old-time courtesy, and there found a room transformed by decoration of red and black. Formality was soon abandoned and many games, both of the past and pre.s- ent. were i>layed. “It” and “Wink ’ were the favorites and the fun of being little girls once more entered into the spirit of all. Mrs. William Penn (Mary Graham Lawrence) was kind enough to sing •‘Mary Had a Little Lamb,” a la grand opera. Mrs. liobert Morris (Jennie Gunter) gave a wonderful imitation of Charley Chaplin, while Mrs. Thomas Jefferson (Madge Moflitt) gave some lessons in love making. George Wash ington (Florence Massey) naturaliv was a favorite and he capped the climox of his popularity with the “Hatchet Song.” 'J'wo contests were played, Mrs. Alex ander Hamilton (Della Gotten) being the winner of the automobile contest and receiving an automobile as a prize; Mrs. James :Madison (Lucy Austin) winning “The Floral Romance” received a doll as a prize. Mrs. Alexander Hamilton (Della Gotten) also delighted us with the song. “When you and I were ilaggie.” D''licious refroshments consisting of punch and sandwiches, were served. 'I'hen by general agreement George Washington (Florence Moseley) was picked out as the favorite man;- Sir Walter Kaleigh (Lois Hartman) as the bpst lookin.g. while Mrs. James Monroe (Kssie Gotten), and Mde Lafayette (A'ictoria Adams) were considered the pr('ttiest ladies, and Mrs. Roger Clark (Nannie Aldridge) as having the fun niest costume. The Seniors also decided that they had “the best sister-class ever.” 'rhose present were: Mr. and Mrs. •Tohn (-hiincy Adams (Myrtle Somers and Fannie Glen Elder), Marquis and Mde Lafayette (Tictoria Adams and Alma Smith), Mr. and Mrs. George Mason (Louise Homewood and Violet McCol lum), Mr. and Mrs. .Tames Madison (Lucy Austin and Annie Simpson), Mr. and Mrs. Itobert Morris (Jennie Gunter and JIargaret Bowman), Mr. and Mrs. (Continued on Page Two) Seventeen games are on the baseball card for the Klon College team for this season.

A. aJid Y. M. C. A. was held Sunday night. The Y. M. being the guest of the Y. W. 'I'liis was the first meeting of the kind held during the year, and as it proved to be a very interesting and helpful one, it is hoped that there may be similar meetings. The topic for the evening was, “Good Womanhood,” with Miss Victoria Adams as leader. “I can do all things tlirough Christ which strengtheneth me,” was quoted as the scripture lesson by Miss Adams and she gave some good com ments upon it. After this Mr. R. H. Gunn led in prayer. Miss Adams welcomed the Y. M. C. A. boys in behalf of the Y. W. C. A., to which Mr. I*. D. Rudd responded in a few words, expressing their appreciation of being able to meet with the Y. W. An article, “If I had been born a girl,” by H. II. Horne, was read by Miss Frankye Marshall. This was an excellent article, and it brought out the value of an education, dress as an ex pression of personality, the need of being a Christian, our opportunity to serve, the evils of dance, and how we should guard against unclean speech. Miss Lucy Austin read two poems, ‘Worth While,” and “Appreciation.” These poems expressed the characteristics of “Good Womanhood.” Mark Twain’s response to a toast on women, “The Ladies,” was read by Mr. R. H. Gunn. Miss Elena Tavara sang a very beautiful solo, “Twilight.” After these special numbers the meet- g was thrown open for discussion and remarks. Quite a few boys and girls took part. Several quotations were cited which brought out the traits of beauti ful wonaanhood, as well as the traits of good manhood. In reply to some of these quotations cited by the young men, Miss Austin read a poem, “The Welcomed Man.” The man who can deliver the goods is always the welcomed man. A very Interesting program was given by the Psiphelian Literary Society at its regular meeting on Wednesday night. The following program was rendered: Miss Margaret Bowman gave briefly, but very interesting a sketch of the “Xjife of Booth Tarkington.” Miss Hose Fulghum gave an excellent syno])sis of “Alice Adams,’ by Booth Tarkington. Miss Mary Addie White furnished current events. She had a large range of events which were very interesting and infoj-mational. Miss Victoria Adams gave an exceed ingly humorous reading, “Jimmie’s Prompt Obedience.” It was excellently presented. Miss Mabel Alcorn read a paper on “The Life of Horace Mann.” She gave the most important incidents concerning his life which were very interesting. Humor, by Miss Dorothy Lowe, was very good. The local touch in her jokes added much to their interest. 2^Iiss Gretchen Lamm read a very in teresting story. Those receiving special mention were : Misses Bowman, Fulghum, White, Adams. Alcorn and Lowe. 2>Iissos Maude Graham, Lyde Bing ham and Beulah Hammer have been very ill with measles. Misses Bingham and Hammer are at their respective homes, F. L. GIRRS REPRESENTS ELON AT HIGH SCHOOL at “Stay in School and Go to College Social”—Other Schools Have Eepresentatives. Elon was represented at the “Stay In School and Go To College'’ night held at the ISurlington High School last Friday night by r. L. Gibbs. Mr. Gibbs spoke on “AVhy Stay in School?” and pointed out reasons why one should go to col lege ; also how to act after one gets to college and many interesting things about college life. This idea was started by the Burling ton school several years ago and has been of great benefit as is shown by the number of its students going to college. JIany other schools have adopted this plan. The ITniversity and six colleges of the State had representatives present. They were: University, Wake Forest, N. C. State, Davidson, Trinity, Guilford and Elon. After the speeches a social was en joyed. Refreshments were served and games and boxing were in the evening’s fun. Miss JIabel Wright was the guest of Miss Frances Turner, Reidsville, N.
