Page Two MAROON AND GOLD March 25, 1925 £Paroon anti (©old Published Weekly by tbe Students of Elon College Member of tbe North Carolina Colle giate Press Association (Entered at the Post-Office at Elon Col lege. N. G., as second-class matter. think of something to say to our readers as a farewell message. We are now in a serious mood and if you have any tears prepare to shed them now. We wonder if all great men have the same feeling w'hen they are preparing to turn over their work to sonic one else. Two Dollars Per College Year W B. Terrell Editor \1. G Wicker .Managing Editor ,C.

It’s teen a pleasure. PARAGRAPHICS It was thought for awhile that the cold weather was the cause of the walks on our campus crack ing. However on further inves tigation it was discovered that the cracking v\’as a result of the Seniors punching the walks vvith their canes, ^^^e wonder if the derbys will have the same effect on ivorv? The'number of Greek headline.^- appearing in our favorite college paper during the last se\eral weeks would lead one to believe that some member of the staff is doing a lot of worrying to get such names to fit in the columns. Speaking of Greek. W hat could be worse than trying to edit a write-uo of one of these Greek Letter Banquets with their French menus. The fellow who has to put them in type for printing says, judging from the handwriting, most of them appear to have been writ ten in Greek. It seems that College life now is one banquet right after another We hope that none of them wil come during commencement for we will be terribly busy. Those whc*) have been puzzled over various ])roblems whether local, national, or even w'orld will not have to worry much longer. The Senior Orations are due the latter part of .\pril and if trouble of any nature is bothering any one they will find a solution during this time. “Senior Orations pan aceas for all troubles.” It is not so bad to retire with a “broken'’, staff, but it will be rather hard to keep going with a broken one. Have vou sent in your TWO DOLLARS? On the subject of money. We are really in need of just such an article (enough of it) to turn the sheet o\'er to the stafl^ clean. We have been using it all this year and you know what it means to use one that long. Our paper "Maroon and (iuld,'’ from the locjk,^ of the business manager's books will be “mar ooned' without “gold” unless our shin comes in during the next few da\s. \\'c hope that the flood of the two dollars will rise high enous'h to save us from such a fate. We have been killing time in the.'e few remarks above trving tc FINISHING OUR ACT “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely play ers : They have their exits and their entrances;” and so on ac cording to .Shakespeare. This is our exit. The Maroon and Gold Staff of the past year is closing its act with this issue. How well we have played our part we wil! leave our readers—our audience- to judge. ^\'hen we were chosen as the chief actor in this play “iVlaroon and Gold” we considered it a dis tinct honor. We had very little talent to recommend us to those selecting the cast. But what lit tle we had we have used to the best of our ability. Without the assistance of the remainder of the cast our acting would have count ed for very little, 'fhcy have giv en the \ ery best support, the sup port that has enabled us to keej) )ur show before the public. As we search for the keys on our typewriter in an effort to pound out this last message to our readers, a feeling of sadness comes to us. We think of the diffi culties that we have had, the trials and discouragements and realize that we are through with those, that we will not have to experi ence them any more. But in real izing this w'e also realize that w’e will not have the thrill of seeing our little efforts facing us in bold type week by week. When we weigh the hardships and pleasures we find that the pleasures over balance. It has been a pleasure to serve in this small way. As we step from the stage w'e ■ealize that we could have done better. We see places wherein we could have improved our act. But it is too late to change this. We will try to pass on to those who come on for the next act some thing that may help them. In making our exit we feel tha't we should pen an epilogue. It has been said that a good play needs no epilogue, and further that good players prove the better by the help of good epilogues. We do not know w'hether this one will help our cause any. We do want to thank those who have contributed in any way to making our work more pleasant and easier. Your contributions have been appreciated. W^e have not tried to revolu tionize the w-orld through this col umn. Neither have we offered a panacea for all evils existing on our campus, in our state, our na tion and the world. What we have tried to do w'as to draw the students arid faculty together into a greater spirit of co-operation. To make the Alumni feel that their Alma Mater needed their co operation, and that they needed to keep in touch with their Alma Alater. If we hav-e succeeded in bringing this about we do not feel that our labor has been in vain. We know that this co-opera tion is not perfect. But w'e feel that all concerned are working t()ward a bigger and better F.lon. Our hope is that this work may continue. Faculty, Alumni and student.- ■^hould be so linked u]) in the pro gram of the college that there should be perfect co-ordination If the program of the college is worth supporting it is worth sup porting to the best of our ability. The same thing applies to student activities, and .Mumni organiza tions. If we could ask one thing of our readers it is that there may l>e a closer linking up of all the forces that are interested in see ing Elon go forward. We have tried to make our pa per representative of the school, to present the news of the campus to our readers in such a way that they might be able to realize what is taking ])lace at Elon. In this particular column w'e may not have reflected the opinion of the students, the staff', the faculty 01 others interested. However our expressions in this column have had in them the desire to help our college in some way. If we have caused any one to think more se riously about vital things concern ing student life, or the work of the college W'e are more than glad. Now' in closing we ask for the new staff all that we have asked for ourselves. May they have the co-operation of thi' students, fac ulty and friends of the institution. They w’ill need support. Help them financially, contribute to the news columns, and whenever pos sible patronize those who adver tise in the college paper. The ad vertisers have stood by us and made it possible for us to finance the paper. They have been our friends and we hope that the new staff will continue this friendship and support of the advertisers. We hope that the Alumni will co-operate with the incoming staff'. There is plenty of space in the paper for them. We know that the staff' will be glad to hear from them and ])ass their mes sage along to others. This lack of co-operation by the .A.lumni has been one of the regrets of our work. We have wanted them to express themselves through our paper. To let us know how they felt about things on our campus, and about life out in the w'orld. "Very few have responded to our appeals. To the few who helped us we are very grateful. Now as W'e make our exit from the stage of college journalism we repeat our lines that it has been a pleasure to serve our read ers in this capacity and regret that we must pass on and make room for the ne.xt act. We draw the curtain on our act and as the new staff' is coming on the stage to present its act may you medi tate on the closing act of our career.
