PERSONALS
A very interesting movie called The
Story of a Silk Stocking, was shown in
the chapel auditorium Monday evening,
at 6:4o and was enjoyed by a large au-
Iience.
The picture was show'n under the aiis
pices of the Business Administration
Department and was very interesting to
the commercial students because it il
lustrated many business problems.
The picture w'as produced by the
Real Si'k Hosiery Mills of Hidianapolis,
Ind., as an advertising scheme which
proves very effective.
Mr. S. . Price, the college organizer
explained the scenes during the pictur
which made it more interesting. Mr.
Price is a man with a very pleasing
personality and knows his business.
Immediately after the picture Mr.
Price held a conference with all boys
interested iji summer vacation w’ork
which is an excellent proposition.
mPHJ PI OELH iMKES
ITS flPPEHfillKCE HERE
New Social Club for Young Men Has
Been Officially Eecognized by the ,
Faculty. Ten Members. '
Our Alma Mater is not only increaa-
ing in numbers, beautiful buildings, at
tractive grounds and modern equip
ment, but also expanding along socifjl
lines. On Thursday evening, March 11','
19‘Jo there was a new' social club offi
cially initiated into the College life.
The College had so* expanded that
many thought a new organization was
in order. This thinkiiig has material
ized and the Alpha Chapter of Alpha
Pi Delta has come into being. It is
hacked by a group of men w'ho are do-
terniined that Elon will continue to de
velop along worthy lines.
Every class is represente'il in the
membership. So far every member is
planning to return in the fall. Two are
members of the present Senior class but
w'ill return for post-graduate work. The
iiiitiijl banquet will be given in 1925-26
but a dedication social is being planned
for the new club.
Prof. T. E. Powell has been of great
assistance as adviser. It is the wish
of the members that the hearty co-op
eration which the faculty has given will
continue and that the good spirit al
ready exhibited towards the 'members
of the other clubs will continue to be a
source of fellowship to all concerned.
There are two distinct values which
must be emphasized in a student body
in order that it shall not become lop
sided. They are: scholarship attain
ment and social advancement. Alpha
Pi Delta sanctions both of these and
to aid members to attain these values
an ‘'Alpha Pi Delta Scholarship Fund”
is being provided which will be of great
aid to its deserving members in the
future.
Those composing the new club are:
Frank H. Alexander, ’28, Elon Col
lege, N. C.
D. York Brannock, ’25, Elon College,
N. C.
Getting out a paper is no joke.
If we print jokes folks say we are
silly.
Tf we don^t, they say we are too se
rious.
If we publish original matter they
say we lack variety.
’ If we publish things from other
papers, we are too lazy to write.
If we stay on the job, we ought to
be out rustling news.
If we are rustling news, we are not
attending to business in our own de
partment.
If we don't print contributions, we
don’t show proper appreciation.
If we do print them, the paper is
mied with Junk.
Like as not some folks will say we
swiped this from an exchange.
So we did.

THE TRUE RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
It’s doing the job the best you can
And being just to your fellow man;
It’s making money—but holding friends
And staying true to your aims and ends.
It’s figuring how and learning why,
And looking forward, and thinking high
And dreaming a little and doing
much;
It’s keeping always iu closest touch
With wdiat is finest in word and deed;
It’s being thorough, yet making speed;
It’s daring blithely the field of chance
While making labor a brave romance;
It’s going onward despite defeat
And fighting staunchly, but keepi^ig
sweet;
It’s being clean and it’s playing fair;
It’s laughing lightly at Dame Despair:-
It’s looking up at the stars above,
And drinking deeply of life and love;
It’s struggling on with the will to witi,
But taking loss with a cheerful grin;
It’s shaking sorrow and work and
mirth,
And making better this good old earth;
It’s serving, striving through strain
and stress,
It’s doing your noblest—that’s success!.
