Never again will they experience the fcelin that conics once to anyone who goes to collegc. They have al most completed the first lap of their journey through collegc and the memories of their Freshman da\ s will linger with them as long as they live. Those who re main throughout the four years of college and thcjse who will grad ually drop out each year will I'lCV cr lie forgotten. The Freshman year at college is the best year of all. It is then that the college spirit begins to manifest itself. It is then that the real problem of the future begins to develop. The class of ’28 is the largest class that has ever matriculated at “Dear Old Elon.” It has made, broken, and established records that no other class has ever done. The true spirit of Elon, “Chris tian character, first, last, and al ways” has entered into every member of the class. The spn-it of the class of ’28 will never be forgotten by the faculty and stu- dcnt.«. It has set a good example for the future students of Elon Collegc. May good luck and suc cess go with each member of the class. May they realize the ini- portanci- of completing, the work thev have started at Elon. NOTICE REPORTERS!

Our Freshmnu days arc almost over. FroBliuian boys Iook bade over the sceu(‘s and say ‘’WelJ, ^it wasn’t so' bad” and the girls looic back and say “It wouldn’t have been so bad. ” . ^ . —1928- Wen, well, behold the little “green freshies are growing up. They soon will be among the ranks of tlie mighty, they have begun to realize their impor tance, and in a few days the boys wiH blossom ont in “bran new caps.” . —1923— Ici' cream! ieo cream! who ha.'i ^uy 'h-kj cream? This wail came from the West l)oi'mit-ory the other night. Betectivo Kimball unearthed the mystery and will restore ice cream to its proper owiMM' some tinuj in the near future. —1928— Judging f]-(>m tilt' sounds that I'anr.i out of the gymnasium the other nigii:. tlie “’Sophs” ■\vere enjoying turning; over their privileges to the Freshmo}). —1028— Of course, we do not wjint to mentioii ny names, but the leader of the cbiss of ’5^ whose initials are E. W. surprised everyone on the campus the other Sun- iay by appearing at West Dorm, at 3:30 P. M. instead of Iiis usual time 3:45. —1928— Kooster /ighting in the U. S. is pro hibited, henco it is not allowed at Elon, but wo have had, O'r nearly had a sub stitute for it. It seems that a certain (‘omb” from Friendship and a “curly headed Cuban” from the Hub girded their spurs and unfolded their wings to participate in a bloody affray, but it turned out to be one of the best debates heard at Elon in a long time. -1928- Wonder what the class of ’29 is go ing to do without a pair of “Siamese Twins”? “Dr.” I). L. Xewman anl Rev.” Bob Broadhurst Byrd, the champion students of the Freshman class have proved so* indispensable to us we feel that if the other Freshman class does not have a pair of such they will be out of luck. EMILY MiOYEnE WINS IH PSYKALEOII CONTEST Six Speakers Make the Contest Very Interesting. Speeches Well Given. On ^^ond'ay night the Psykaleon Lit erary Society held its second annual es say contest, in the college chapel. There were six speakers with as many differ ent subjects. No two of the essays bore any resemblance in subject matter and consequently the entire program was unusually interesting. The iirst speaker, and the winner of the contest, Emily Midyette had for her subject “Wliito houses on the liighway.She .pictured a little white house, on the roadside, beautiful, open for improvement, but empty. Then she pictured the house inhabited by rich people and marred by gaudy signs of wealth. With those two pictures as a background she drew a parallel to life, showing the possibility of developmen'^ hat lies in lives, which she likened to the first house. The second speaker, Rosebud Kimball spoke on “The Value of Tnter-Collegi- ate Atliletios.” She treated this sub ject well, by tracing the historical de-' velopment of athletics up to the pres ent time. She said that athletif'S is es sential because it is a means to the end of developing an all round man. She then showed how the training require ments placed upon an athlete tejided to make him a better student. The third speaker, Alberta Atkinson, had for her subject “Cherchoz Li Femme” or “Seek the Woman.” Shij traced the career of several famous wo men of history and then showed how women, in general, have taken a highcjr place in our national life recently. The next speaker, Susie Elder, treat ed the subject of “Ambition” in a broad and a new way. She defined am bition as an earnest desire to rise in the world. Slie then showed the' pos.d- hilities of ambition and shoT\’ed how the ambitiftn that caused one to work for the uplift of humanity is the am bition that is a blessing to the one so inspired. Alice Baldwin next sp/ke on “Th..- Opportunities of the W’'oman of Today.'' She spoke of the opinion of many peo ple today that women cannot go as high as men. Then she demonstrated th-^ falsity of this by showing how the mod ern woman has accepted the challenge, which has been thrown out to her lo take equal places in industry, politics, etc. Last, Mary Price gave an exceilenr essay cm “Character.” She explained what character really is and how It is formed. She then showed how our every thought, deed, desire, anl aspira tion goes into the molding of character. After the program Mrs. 0. >L Cai:- non a charter member of the ?ociety. awarded the medal. Afrs. Cannon gives this medal herself. Mebane Shoe Co. BURLINGTON, N.
