HOME COMING DAY This is the last issue of Maroon and Gold that will reach our Alumni friends and others before Thanksg'iving Day. For this rea son we want to extend to every Alumnus, friends or anyone who is interested in Elon. to come and spend that day on our campus. Thanksgiving Day has always been Philologian Day at Elon and the Society puts on an entertain ment. This 5^ear the entertain ment promises to be one of the best ever given. The football game which has been arranged betw^een the Alum ni and Varsity teams promises to be an interesting event of the day. Tt is hoped that many will be present for the meeting of the Alumni Athletic Association, or rather for the meeting to organize such an organization. Elon is rapidly completing her building program and looks like a real college from the standpoint of buildings. To those who have not been here and seen the new buildings, and other improve ments. it will be a good time to come. Just lay aside all cares and come and spend the day within the walls of old .Mma Mater. We promise to make the day worth while and hope to see many here for the Home Coming Day. “SOM STU” by Som Stude The Greensboro Daily News carried two very intorcsting articles on its sport page the other day. Tlie first one vras a word picture of cauipus life at Guilford. Tt was evidently written by some student of that institution. Tt told how they were laying great prepara tions for Elon’s defeat at Winston- Balem this coining Saturday. We are very sorry that wo cannot help them participate in this little party, especial ly sincc the party was to be for our benefit. Since this is the state of af fairs. Iiowever, it would seem that last place in the state for 1924 will ever remain a secret l.T-twecn us and Guil ford. We are sure that neither would admit defeat on this occa'^ion until the last whistle blow, and since the last, whistle will not blow, we leave the re sult to tlie dopestevs and statisticians. ' Wasn't it Milton wlio said that the virtue of defeat was tliat the defeated arose to greater heights later? That sounds good in poetry but we wonder if it might be made to ai>ply to foot ball. If it will, look out for Elon next year. “Wliy Students Leave School”, by I Don Know, is the latest complete novel that will appear in The Dean’s Chronicle. It is sponsored by the stu dent body and, laying all jokes aside, deserves your careful attention. Tho other interesting article in the Daily News was an account of the great G. H. S. team that came to Elon in 1910 and beat Rowe’s team of Elon- ites, 66-0. AVo wonder if this is meant to ren)ind us that otlier years have been bad or is it a hint that possibly, er! ali! it might work now. “Tiie^ muffled drum’s sad roll has beat the soldiers’ last tattoo,’^ etc. Tn other words kind fate has turned the pages of history on a disastrous foot ball season. At the first of the year we anticipated victory, later we hoped, for a victory, and still later we- lojiged for a victory and after all the fact re mains that one touchdown represents the sum total of our scoring efforts this year. Without going into this thing from the viewpoint of a statistician, we are going to say tliat credit is due to some \ i-ri after looking at one long string of defeats. There are some men who have borne the brnnt of tlie season’s hardest work, who have really worked for the success of a toam that was un successful. To them all credit is due. And then there is the credit that is most assuredly due the loyal studen»t body that has made a name for itself all over the state. It fought behind the team. Class basketball seems to be the or der of the day at the present time, and much interest is being shown by all •lassees. But when we go to press we have ru?nors of a post season football game between the freshman and the up perclassmen for Wednesday afternoon. This should be a good game. The frc«limen seem to have the advantage in the back field and the upperclass men ha^■e the advantage in the line. ^‘Time will tell.” But even with that the real post sea son event is a Turkey Trot. This will be staged Thanksgivi)ig Day between the varsity and the ^‘old boys.” This event should aild much interest to the much looked forward to day. The Freshmen have picked their de baters and it begins to look like the “Sophs’’ are going to have a scrap. That’s the stuff! T?emember that a good clean scrap is enjoyed by all and who ever saw a “ Frosli-Soph ” conflict that wasn’t a scrap? We noticc that Mmo. President, Miss Mcl^lroy is using “Hooks” instead of snags. We wonder which ones are really better. We are wondering how Floyd Ballard got his rib broken. We did not know that a certain, yonng lady in the Dor mitory was so strong. J*. S. The young lady says that any one wishing instructions on the “Bear Hug” se her from three to four next Sunday in the Dining Hall. Be sure and come if it is raining. “Majority” Woods says that when she was a little girl she liked to jday with soldiers (little toy ones, you know), but now after several years’ of growth which has made her a big girl, she finds that she likes to play with a ‘Gunn” much Vietter than toy soldiei’s. FRESIAN DEBATEItS ARE CHOe By CISSS Misses Minnie Johnston, Hamiah. New man, and Messrs. R. C, Sutton and Conrad Donald are Representatives. A special meeting of the Freshman class was called in Alamance Hall, on Tuesday by the president, E. W. Mac- (-auley. The purpose of the meeting was to elect the debaters which ai'e to repre sent the class in the annual Freshnian- Sophoniore debate. Those elected were as follows: Miss Minnie Johnston—Psiphelian. Miss Hanna.il Newman—J'sykaleon. R. C. Sutton—Philologian. Conrad Donald—Clio. These four popular meinbei's of the class of ’28 were elccted by acclama tion. A class pin was also selected at this meeting. A grc-at deal of spirit and pep are shown at those class meet ings and good results are promised. ALL QUESTIONS WISELY ANSWERED Messrs. Edro Wlieeler of Lexington and Ray Farlow of Higii Point were visitors on the hill Sunday. The following girls spent the week end at honte; Lucy Dick. Bottie and Mamie Wilson, Ramali Schoffner.

(2) When do pupils study? (3) What color would be most be coming to me? (1 have a sallow' com plexion, blue eyes, black hair and white teeth.) Yours perplexedly^, FACULTY MEMBER. Ans. (1) Psychologically speaking, from a behavioristic phase, so to speak, this is a great compliment to you. Sleep is promoted only by the most favorable attitude«. This proves beyond a doubt that said jiupils have unlimited confi dence in you—they are willing to leave everything in your charge. (2) I nuist defer the answer to this question pending further consultation with Mr. Dwight Martin, Mr. C. W. Gordon and Mr. Charlie Wa Iker, and Several others of Elon’s most studious pupils. When Dean Hook was asked if an TlIou pupil would go on class without having studied, he answered with the lame words that Caesar used when he was asied if he would cross the Rubi con, “Will a duck swim?” (3) Contjasting colors are generally the most becoming. Following this in fallible law I recommend: A bright red coat for the sallow complexion; yellow- rimmed glasses for your blue eyes; a white hat for your black hair; and Checkerberry Chewing Gum (pink) for your white teeth. Devotedly yours, MME. De SOTGNER-TEMAIN. P. S. Remember that I can cure all love pains. Miss Bessie Walker spent the week end at her home near Ashboro. A. D. PATE & CO.
