Gotten Faculty Advisor Advertising Bates Upon Bequest judging from accounts in our favorite college paper during the last two weeks it would appear that cupid has been rather busy this summer among former Elon students and faculty members. It was very unfortunate that the motion pictures that Profes sor Hook showed of the game were up-side down. But it is doubtless true that some of us understood them as much as if they had been right-side up. Now that is a condition that should not exist. All of us have had an op portunity to see a football game and w’e should at least be getting acquainted with the conditions that make the scoring of touch downs possible. Assuming that those, who were previously un acquainted with the technique of the game, have come to realize what it’s all about, more, in the way of spirit and pep is expected of the student body. Keep the old game talked up. It is the “never-say-die spirit” that wins football games, and that simply means. Don’t Quit. GUILFORD GAME Two years ago was the last time we played Guilford. We met them on Cone Field at Greensboro, and they were beaten by a scant seven point lead. It was a hard fought game and clearly demonstrated that there was a keen rivalry between the tw'o schools. The Elon team played straight football, for the most part, and the Guilford team played an open game, resorting to long forward passes for the most of the ground they gained. Twice Ijoth teams were stopped within the bounds of the other teams ten- yard line. One of the most spec tacular happenings of the game was a forward pass, by the Guil ford team, McBane to Smith. The pass was completed for about a thirty-five or forty yard gain. Last year, unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding between the two schools and the game was cancelled, that was to have been played in Winston-Salem. This difficulty later worked itself out and we are to meet Guilford this year on their home grounds. This game will probably be the hardest game either team has to play this fall. There always has been a keen rivalry between the two schools and this year they are both going back at each other like rival roosters, who have been allowed a couple of days rest. The last time Guilford was played in Greensboro, the entire student body turned out to see the game and to help the team along. Guilford is a very short distance, the other side of Greens boro. and the students will again be allowed to go to see the game If you haven’t considered going, you are advised to immediately begin preparation for going. ON TO GUILFORD! The Psykaleon Literary Society met Monday evening in one of its most im pressive sessions of the year. Nine teen girls were taken in as active members of the society.

C.; Sara Deaton, Mooresville, N. C.; Margaret Thomas, Burlington, N. C.; Mildred Walters, Burlington, N. C. PSIPHELIS GOOD I Misses Johnson, McAdams, and Lind say Receive Special Mention. V. SOM STU ¥ J BY 5; ^ SOM STUDE * W. S _s— ‘‘Lightning never strikes twice in tlic same place.” This is an old proverb, but true never-the-less. Two years ago onr team went to Bristol and the King Tornado administered to it a slashing defeat. This year the King Tornado came to our back lot, and they made the sad mistake of expecting the light ning to strike like it did before. We are glad that it did not strike with the same velocity, and w’e are proud of the fact that we have a team that stays in the fight after a lucky break has given the other side a six point lead. —O— It is reported that Miss Savage has taken up the practice of escorting her flock up town at night and passing out ice cream. How do they rate it? It is simple, just hang on the fence at dusk and look hungry. The fence is strong enough to hold you up, girls, and the hungry look is a traditional expression for Elon co-eds. _M— We are all sorry to hear that ^‘Pussy foot” has fallen from grace. We al ways considered that he was slick enough to get away with anything, short of murder. But, alas, Mrs. Kirk land happened to be standing in the wrong place and board at the Club will have to go up, to take care of another vociferous appetite. _S— Readers of the annual this year are not supposed to comment on the fact that the same blue coat appears sev eral times on different shoulders. It is purely a matter of co-operation. _T— Don’t try to pass your proof off as joke on the photographer. The camera doesn ’t lie. _U— On to Guilford! ! The Psiphelian Literary Society met in regular session last Wednesday night and after the business was concluded a veiy interesting and instructive pro gram was presented. ‘-Hom' I Spent My Vacation,” by Minnie Jo'hnson was very instructive. Miss Johnson made a tour of Nortli Carolina during the summer and visit ed many interesting places connected with colonial and later history. She presented an account of these things before the society in a most pleasing manner. Current Events by Miss Rosa Paschall were well selected and included many things of vital interest to college stu dents, Piano solo was played by Miss Mc Adams. She rendered the first number of “Moon Moths.” Miss McAdams played it softly and expressed the beauty of the piece well. The original dialogue by Misses Marie Nobles and Estelle Kelly was quite amusing. They took for their background one of Mark Tw’ain’s most famous books ‘‘Toto Sawyer and Huck Finn.” They portrayed the lives of these youngsters and the usual trouble with Aunt Polly excellently. Miss Foy Matlock presented humor in a verj^ pleasing way. The jokes were up-to-date and greatly enjoyed by all.' “How It Feels To Be a Senior,” by Miss Arline Lindsay was clearly and interestingly told. She mentioned the fact that a SenioT does not possess that feeling of aloofness that one might suppose, but that there is that feeling of responsibility so soon to become a part of you. Then as she concluded her talk she added that there was a feeling of happiness and pride in being a Senior, mingled T\-ith sadness to think that so so'on we must separate from our college pals. Those receiving special mention were Misses Johnson, McAdams, and Lind say.

Well, vou’d better see a doctor.” N It is well known around Elon that Pussyfoot, Jr., is a great eater. The other night he dreamed he was eating shredded wheat, and when he woke up half the mattress was gone. And That’s Why “No, I donH want to buy that horse. He looks as though he had a mean dis position.” “Dat aim nothing boss. He just got dat look from runnin ’ in sulky races.” Since its inception the Gen eral Electric Company has pioneered in the various fields of applied electricity. Today G-E engineers are co-operating with various State agricultural commit tees in the study of farm and rural electrification. These committees include members of the agricultural college faculties. A new series of G-E adver tisements showing what electricity is doing in many fields will be sent on request. Ask for Booklet GEK-1. ^Vben rural service lines brin^ electricity to the farmer’s door, many of his labor troubles are at an end. Motors, large and small, will do the many chores of iarm and farm house for a few cents per day. The Farm Electrical Of the six and a half million farm homes in. this country, only half a million have electricity. ^ Still, the advantages of electricity are widely known. But there is more to farm electrifica tion than the installation of motors, lights and heaters. Current must be brought to the farm, and that means many miles of transmission line, supporting poles, transformers, and ad equate generating equipment. Slowly but surely the electrification of Amer' ican farms is taking place. As farmers learn how to use electricity, rural service lines reach out farther and farther into open country. Six million farms to be electrified! Here is a vast and virgin field for the application of electricity, with countless opportunities for college-trained men in the technical and com' mercial phases of this undertaking. And fof the agricultural college student and others planning a future life in rural sections, it means a better, bigger, happier life-time now in the making.
