Last Saturday Gvcuiiigv the Psiplie ]iau Literary Society gave its annual play, entitled ‘•f'onic Out o.t the Kli chen,''' in the (.'ollege Jiuditoriuin. Tliis was the second event of the Easter sea son and drew a large and appreciative .'ludienee. TJie play held the audience in suspense for two and a half hours, and everyone went away feeling that the PsipheJians were indeed good enter tainers. The play was taken from a story of the same name, l>y Alice Duer Miller. The scene was laid in an old Virginia mansion and the story revolved around the foTtunes of the Dangerfields, wlio owned the historic plantation. From the story we gather that the family had suffered financial losses and the father had gone to Europe for his health. This left the children to look after the place and its heavy moTtgage. How they did Ms was the theme of the story. Ro mance had its place in the story and of course th( beautiful daughter mar ried the Xortfieru hero. Between tne acts the audience was favored by the apj)earance of some well known artists. All of these were either eld members or honorary members. Miss Xolan gave organ solos, Miss Madge MofBtt, vocal solos, accompanied by (Coutonued on Page Two) L TREES FOR WORLD WAR’S OEAD Maple Trees Gift of Rev. B. F.

CLASS HAS WON TWICE The Sophomores won a unanimo'us de cision over the Freshmen here the even ing of April 10, in their annual Fresh- man-Sophomore debate. The question was that of the entry of the United States into the World Court on the terms proposed by the late President Harding, the decision of the judges, based on the argument of the speakers, was that the United States should enter Representing the Sophomores and the affirmati\'e side of the (piestion were Kathleen Paschall, Emily Midyette. Henry Peel, and Floward Richardson. The Freshman negative team was com- ])osed of Hannah Clair New'iuan, Min nie Johnston, Clayton Latham, and Con rad Donnell. The Sophomores contended that while the World Court and the terms pro posed by President Harding were not ideal as we should like them, yet it is the most effe‘tive means at hand for preventing war and encouraging arbi tration. The negative contended that entry into the court would entangle the United States in foreign affairs and constitute a menace to us. Although the Sophomores received a unanimous decision the debate was ex ceedingly close and hotly contested throughout. It was one of the best de bates heard here in a long time. This is the seccnd time the class has won in tlie annual event and since tlie •Junior-Senior debates are not held anv longer the class of ’27 will graduate iin- ,defeated in debating. This is a signal honor for the class, as it is the first time it has occurred in a number of years. The judges were W. S. Coulter of Burlington, W. I. Ward of Graham, and L. T). Martin of Elon College. E. P. McLeod, Sallie Kate Ingram, Lacy Ezell, Anna Phillips, and J. W. Van- hook served as marshals.

Maroon and Gold Nine Wins One Game and Is Loser In Two Contests IS EXCElLENILy GIVEN Child Labor Question is Debated. Nega tive Wins Debate. G. L. Williams Voted Best on Program. Tlie Philologians held one of tl'e best meetings of the year on Thursday night, Ajiril 2. Ail numbers w'ere well pre^jared and were delivered with a snap and vim wliicli made the program iiitei:csti]ig and enjoyed by everyone. Paul McNeil gave a very good bi* ography of Senator LaFollette, showing that LaFollette has always been a “go- getter,” a man w’ho' has made himself all that he is. LaFollette was left to manage a large ranch when a mere boy but lie succeeded and became a leader in national politics after serving as Governor of his state. Mr. Williams varied the prograni very pleasantly by reading “An Old Sweetheart of Mine.” The reader s voice was in excellent condition and his masterful interpretatio'n of this poem won for liini the honor of best speaker of the evening. OJ. G. Stanley discussed the financial benefits of going to College. He showed that a college education costing but a little over two thousand dollars yield ed an income equal to an investment of tweh e thousand. A rather well paying ))roposition! In Current Evejits, A. J. Strum told the so’ciety of recent scien- tilic tests which show that the sun ab sorbs nearly 70 per cent of the energj- of Radio waves, hence it is better to broadcast at night than iu the daytime. Fngiish scientists seem to think that moonlight aids radio broadcasting. T. V. Huey gave seme very amusing jolcea, causing a number of laughs. Fowler mentioned some interesting facts in the life of Longfellow in a brief bi ography of that great wn-iter. The negative defeated the child labor amendment, convincing the judges that this bill should not be passed because of quite a number of gocwl reasonri. The debate was interesting and the ma terial well presented. H. A. Peele and W. B. Newman w’cre the best on the affirmati^'e and negative respectively.

Cannoii, Mrs. Frances J. Ring, Misses Margaret Corbitt and Mary Ad die White, served refreshments con sisting of chicken salad, sandwiches, and punch.

Althougli Elon garnered ten liits off the deliveries of Hundley, Robertson and Zimmerman, they were widely scat tered. Hampden-Sydney played air tight ball, and gave the Christians no chance to roinp around the bases. The game began with Dudley taking two bases on Walker’s error and com ing in on Byrd’s wild throw. Elon also tallied one in the first as a result of Walker’s three-bagger. Hundley gave way to Robertson on the mound in tho fifth who pitched until the 8th when Zimmerman relieved him as the Chris tians threatened to* rally. Coa^i Corboy sent in two pinch hit ters in this frame, but Slaughter was caught off first and the threatened rally fell two short of the needed runs to tie.
