The decorations were simple but very
beautiful. Potted ferns and flowers
were used to transform the hall into a
place of beauty. The color scheme was
fcllowed throughout with the Senior

noticeable, they being rolled and tied
with small bows of purple and gold
ribbon.
The guests found their places at the
table by means of attractive place
«ards, a Senior, with her cap and gown
on and her diploma in her hand, very
emblematic of the Seniors. The favors
"were small f-urpleand gold baskets filled
ffitl] peanuts.
When the guests ' had found their
place,'. Clyde W. Gordon, president of
tiic Junior class, gave the Seniors and
ether guests a most cordial welcome.

Senior class gave the response. Dur

First Inter-collegiate Girls’ Debate
Here. Misses Black and McElroy
are Elon Speakers.
The debating team frojn Des Moines
University received a unanimous vote
over the team representing Elo-n Col
lege here last Thursday ^ night in the
first inter-collegiate girls’ debating
contest.
Misses Judith Black and Frances Mc-
Elrov rendered excellent speeches for
the home college but were not able to
get a vote again^ Misses Spry and
Webster who represented Des Moines.
The question oTer which these two
teams contended was: “Resolved, That
.Congress be empowered to override by
a two-thirds vote the decisions of the
Supreme Court declaring congressional
action unconstitutional.” The visitors
upheld the affirmative argument and
the Elon girls the negative side. Im
mediately following the debate Misses
Spry and Webster left for Des Moines,
having arrived early in the morning
before the debate.
R. N. Co'ok of Graham,-S. J. Hins-j
dale. Burlington and S. W. Taylor, I
Burlington, were the judges
The Sunday evening service was giv
en by members of the Y. W. C. A. Cab
inet. A very interesting and. unique
program was rendered with Miss Mamie
Sockwell as leader.
The scripture lesson was read by Miss
So'ckwell, after which Dean Savage led
prayer. A special feature of the
program was the duet by Misses Ade
lia Jones and Margaret “Bob” Corbitt.
They sang “Drifting.”
The Ten Commandments in the
Twentieth Century, was discussed in a
very informal manner by the following
girls: Misses Nettie Harris, Ruby
Rowland, Ruth Ivimball, Judith Black,
Ruth Lyerly, Sallie Mae Oliver, Frances
Turner, Mary Addie White and Mary
Price. The girls were seated in a group
on the platform as in a discussioTi
group, each one having been assigned a
Commandment to discuss. The talks and
comments on the Commandments were
applied chiefly to the College life here
on the campus, which made the meet
ing much more effective.
A hymn, “LoTe Divine,” and a
prayer by Miss Sockwell closed the
meeting.
The first annual Freshman-Sophomore
banquet was given last Friday even
ing from 9:30 to 10:30 o’clock.
The- banquet hall, Sjpcond floor of
West Dormitory, was tastefully deco
rated with streamers. ^Beautiful, but
miscellaneous floTvers adorned the
tables which were second-floor trunks.
The evening uowus were exquisite,
beautiful and stylish beyond descrip
tion. Nor were the latest cut evening
suits lacking.
The menu consisted of stick candy,
cakes and punch.
Miss Madge Woods was to'astmistress
and Rov. '‘Bill” Summers responded-
‘Monsieur” B. Cates thrilled his au
dience with his incomparable singing.
The readings by Misses Bradshaw and
Atkinson were a real treat. Miss Em
ma Morgan gave a toast to the Sopho-
mm-es and “Mr.” W. Stout responded.
Then came the great and long-looked
for event of the evening. Everyone
held his breath and waited. They were
not disappointed. Soft as a clear bell
on a sweet April morning came the
trilling notes from Miss Madge Woods.
Aunt Crisy Midyett, the honorary mem
ber of the Sophomore class, gave a great
interpretation of “Mary Had a Little
Lamb.” “Here’s to Dear Old Elon”
floated through the halls as the ban
queters went fo' their respective homes.
The Victrola orchestra, rendered en
chanting music during the banquet.
This joyous annual occasion of the
Freshman-Sophomore banquet was joy
ous in every sense of the word.
NEIIELE CLOB MEETS ST
E OF
Many Enjoy Her Hospitality. One of
the Best Meetings of the Year.
Misses Bessie Walker, Lena Russel,
Mabel Spivey and Hazel Auman, spent
the week-end with Miss Thelma Cates
at her home near Haw River.
Misses Lyde Bingham and Jewel
Hughes, spent the week-end with Miss
“Ike” Graham at her home near Bur
lington.
Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Knott and chil
dren of Winston-Salem visited their
daughter, Miss Hazel Knott, here Sun-
da y.
Rev. W. T. Scott, ’24, assistant pas
tor to Dr. L. E. Smith at the Christian
Temple of Norfolk, Va., is visiting on
the hill.
Mrs. M. Z. Rhodes, Burlington, N. C.,
who has been in Rainey Hospital for
the past two weeks has returned -to
her home on West Fro-nt street and is
getting along nicely.
Last week the Nevele Club met with
Mrs. Barney. She proved a very charm
ing and also a very ingeneous hostess.
We were greeted at the door very cor
dially and handled a silk bag containing
beans, with the information that everv
time we used the pronoun ‘‘X” we
lost a bean, giving it to the one who
caught us first making the mistake.
The fun was o-n thick and fast. Mrs.
Harper contributed largely to the fun
and was honored with the prize indi
cating she knew how' to use the pro
noun “I.” One does not realize how
prominent a part the nomination “I^-’
occupies in our language until put to
the test as the Neveles were. Miss
Morrow showed her ability to speak or
not to speak and exclude the undesir
able “I.” She received first prize.
Next followed a game of Lincoln and
one on So'uthern songs both of which
taxed most of us but proved an easy
mark for Miss Leila Newman, who re
ceived the prize.
Mrs. Mark Rhodes and Mrs. F. J,
Ring were on the literary program.
On account of illness Mrs. Rhodes
was unable to be present.
Mrs. Ring read a paper on the life
of Edna Ferber, author of the popular
book “So Big.”
Among the pleasant happenings of
the evening was the conferring of the
Nevele 3rd degree upon our delightful
hostess. She confessed to having a
birthday. The candles on the birthday
cake indicated only sixteen tender
years.
We all voted that it was one of the
very pleasant Nevele parties of the
vear.
