Here we are confronted with a much more hopeful situation than we were at the beginning of the football season. Coach has more material for basketball this year than he has ever had before. We expect great things of our basket- ball quint this year. The curtain falls on our last game of football for the season of 102S- Our team of 1925 has play ed its last game. It has not covered itself with the victors spoils, but to the men who have fought side by side throughout the fall on this team there cer tainly is glory. There may have been times when our spirits lag ged, when things looked dark for the success of our team, but after it is all over we can look back on the entire* season with a small note of pride. “Let not ambition mock their useful toil ■ ■ ■ ,” but let us remember-that the boys who fought for alma mater on the gridiron this fall and who lost have expressed their willingness to come back next fall and fight still harder. That is what makes the Elon spirit known. That is the spirit that some day, and we feel that that day is just beyond the horizon, will make us winners and there will be a place for us in the sun. With examinations not far off we are reminded of a bit of psychology that will be a great help to the students if they will take note of it and put it into practice. This is the fact that a person is capable of doing just so much work and no more. W'^hen the mind and the body be come fatigued there is no power left with which to accomplish more work. To make it concrete let us take the case of a student who waits until the night before an exam to prepare for it and sits up nearly all the night doing this. The next day he doesn’t feel equal to the task of meeting the exam. He not only doesn’t feel equal to the task but according to psychologists, he is not equal to the task. The human system is equal to a certain amount of work and after that effort is practically useless. Nov^' to make this applicable we would suggest that the stu dents begin review on all of their subjects now and Avhen time for examinations come sleep the night before and don’t incapacitate yourself by sitting up half of the night. A word to the wise is sufficient. Are you wise? I aanxs hos | 5 AS j :J; nxs wos H —s— The scene shifts and *‘Hawkeye” comes on the stage. If you don’t be lieve that he is a hawkeye just ask Mr. High Point’s college. And they are not the only ones that will testify to Dan’s sure eye. We will not enumer ate the others that will testify to this, but the point we want to make is: We expect the name “Hawkeye” to reach far this year and be a terror to many state teams. —O— And while we are on the subject, we wonder if the said captain Hawkeye won’t have his hands full keeping up with the rest of the squad. —M— One Bill Stoner has succeeded in organizing a new fraternity here on tlie Hill. It has no name but every day observation has shown that the ■pledge pin is a gold sweater and the qualification for membership is a will ing mind and nine $eniolions. Step right up, gang! —S—' We understand from several students that it would have been a very popular idea for the dining hall authorities to have spread Thanksgiving dinner out into a few breakfasts and dinners. But even at that we feel sure that some of these same students have camel blood, because they were seen on Thanksgiving day stOTing up food that should last them for several weeks. —T— We also liear from the dining hall that “Dusty” Raub now has undis puted championship honors. It was a long and hard fight, that championship race, but the winner deserves to be highly complimented for his persevering spirit. —U— Then, too, we have lieard that sev eral nice little parties were broken up when new seats were assigned the other day. —SOM— “Who flies the kite?’’ We fly the kite. No, we are wrong, the kite doesn't fly, it sails. —STUDE— By the way, did you cut chapel Wed nesday morningf If you did, you miss ed something good. LABORATORY What tedious and tasteless three hours When on balances we must weigh. But what a relief to know That we'll be Chemists some day! We don’t like to work at all. But to this work we must bend, If ever we wish to fall Victim to a fine sheepskin. So come all ye Chemists and strive To do all your work faithfully And then the sweet by and by We’ll reap our reward merrily. —By one of “Uncle Xed’s” Chemistry Students. AK AUTU3VTN- SUNSET (Ann Coleman) All in the after-glow of day After Summer has gone her way The evening shadows begin to play. Scarlet, purple, and vermillion they flame— Hide-and-go-seek is their game. They hide in remote shades of night And are never found Till dawn with her soft light Reveals them on leaf and ground. They met on the bridge at midnight. They never shall meet again. One was an Eastbound heifer, The other a Westbound train. DID YOU EVER: Enjoy tlie quiet in chapel before an nouncements are made? Recognize an Elon student without his chewing gum? Hear “On T]ie Beat Now?’’ (Velie Special). See Puck in a hurry? Know of “Obediah” missing a class? Hear Marie Nobels speak, softly? See Culpei:)per’s nose exercise? Hear “Annie Lee Weevil” yell at a football game? —By One Curious. Soc Eainey: I am an evolutionist.^ This is my third time on earth. I came first as a butterfly, second, as a jackass. Chubby: I don’t believe you have been here but twice.

Modern civilizsttori is based on cheap power zeadily cpplied to tasks oi all kinds. Machinery works: Man thinks According to college tests, man develops one-eighth horsepov/er for short periods and one-twentieth in steady work. As a craftsman—a worker who uses brains—he is well worth his daily wage. But as a common laborer, matching brawn against motor ized power, he is an expensive luxury. With a fifty-horsepower motor, for instance, one man can do the work cf 4C0 common laborers. He is paid far more for his brains than his brawn. The great need of tliis and future generations is for men who can plan and d ject. There is ample motorized machinerj’- for all requirements of pro duction and construction. But motorized machinery, no matter how ingenious, can never plan for itself. And that is precisely where the college man comes in. Highly trained brains are needed more and more to think, plan, and direct tasks for the never-ending application of brawn-saving elec tricity. 32»2DH _ GENERAL ELECTRIC; In most long-established industries the General Electric Company has brought about important changes makingfor better products with minimum hurnan labor amde::pense.
