Psykaleoiis Entertain With
The Play ”The Whole Town’s
Talking” On January 18th
GIRLS PLAY MEN
Play is a Delightful Farce in
Three Acts and Was Well
Received.
DAY IS SCHOOL HOLIDAY
January IStli is Anniversary of the Elon
Tire and is Given Over to the Psy-
kaleons to Act as Hosts
On the evpiiiiig of January 18. 1926,
SI large crowd was splendidly entertain
ed by a group of young ladies of the
Psykaleon Literary Sooiety with “The
AVhole Town's Talking,*' a farce in
three acts, by John Emerson and Anita
Loo'S.
The Whitley Aiulit-orium was filled
with expectant spectators, and they
wore not disapponnted in the least, but
enjoyed thoroughly the fine play ren
dered.
Miss Annie Simpson, of Greensboro,
X. C., M-elcomed the audience to the
third annual Psykaleon entertainment.
The story of the piny was quite true
to life. The sto'iy is about the hus
band who goes out nights, suiDposedly
to lus wife, on business. Miss Alberta
Atkinson played well the-part of the
luisbanil. and Miss Gladys Yates the
wife. Henry Simmons (the husband)
lias picked out an ordinary, but sensible
ofiiee-hand; Chester Binney, to be the
future husband of Kthel, the daughter
of the Simmons, but Ethel, who has
just returned from scho'ol, wants some
one who has had many love affairs be
fore. Chester, (Miss Judith Black),
succeeds in winning Ethel’s affection,

CARD OF THANKS
Maroon and Gold takes
this opportunity to thank
each and every student who
so generously contributed to
the fund that permitted us
to resume publication this

have not been paid and we
have gone to work on the
assumption that they will be
paid as soon as possible.
Again we, the staff, wish to

SOCIAL CLUBS lAKE ON
SEVERAL NEW HERS
Clubs Iritiate Quit-e a Number of Fine
Young People.
TOTAL IS FORTY-SEVEN
On January 12th the lid came off
again and the social clubs on the
“Ilill *’ were permitted to take in
Freshmen for the first time this year.
The day was cne long looked forward
to by tlio- /’diibs and a dny long oxpert-
ed by some lucky Freshmen. The in
flux of new jnembers into the clubs
has already put new life iiito the club
spirit here. As the banquet season ap-
proaclu's there conies to all members
of the clubs a sense of the closer fel
lowship to be found therein. The so
cial clubs at Elon take the place of
the larger fraternities and soTorities
to be found in other institutions. There
arc four clubs here for the boys and
four for the girls. A student who re-

“SOOLS FOR SABLES” IS
E OF NEXT PICTORE
Claire Wlnsdor and Eugene O’Brien
Feature/ in a Splendid Drama.
“Souls for Sables” will bo the
campus attraction this week-end. It
i'as made a “hit" at places where it
has already slpown.
It comes to' us from Greensboro^ and
is going from here to Burlington.
Twenty-eight of the most expensive
dresses that an actrcss has ever worn
in one picture are shown in this.
The kind of a picture a loving mother
would almost leave a sick child to see.
This is a domestic drama in society
life. It is a gripping story of the
everlasting lure of fine clothes told
with great dramatic power and what
two women do—'the lengths they go—to
secure said raiment in the form of
expensive sable coats. Of course, their
husbands do not supply them. You
won’t believe that a couple of pieces
of fur can hold so much drama until
you see it. Fine, clever directorial
touches all the way through.
At the last show w^e did not take in
enougli to defray the expenses. Let’s
come out and everybody give a dime
so we will take in enough money to
keep the show going. We are trying
to get pictures that are interesting,
so help us in our effort by doing your
part.
“HAWKEYE”
Dan Long Newman, commonly known
as “Ilawkeye” who is leading the
Fighting Christian basketball aggrega
tion in some of the most brilliant bat
tles seen by local fans in a good many
years. He is only a second yenr man
oil the sijuad, but his hawkeye and con
sistent lloor work last year won for him
tlie captaincy of this year’s team.

YOU
(Ann Coleman.)
Had 1. no shrine
Save that heart of thine
T would a pagans be.
Had T no vision except thy own
I could no longer see.
Had r no' song to sing
Save your blithe roundelay
My voice would be a worthless thing.
Had I no caress save thy touch,
AEy senses all immune w’ould be.
You must yourself unto me give,
Or else I cease to live.
Better Known as “Elon” or “Psyka
leon” Day.
Ouring the short ])eriod that the
Maroon and Gold failed to appear we
had a holilay that held a s]iei-ial signif
icance for everybody here. It was
January the eighteenth. As everybody
knows it is a holiday set aside in
memory of the great fire of iiineteen
twenty-three. There is only one class
here that has a definite memory of the
destructio'Ji of that old memory—en-
slii-ouded building.
In order that the newer students may
have a view of the true old Elon spirit
that kept the students here after the
disaster, we are re-printing an article
from an old Maroon and Gold. This
article shows how' classes were held
for the remainder of that ter)n. It is
as follows:
In the meeting held in the boys’ gym-
iiasium Thursday morning in wliich sucli
a wonderful spirit of college loyalty
was displayed by everyone, Dr. Harper
announced tliat another jnecting would
be held at 4 o'clock in the same place.
In this meeting the faculty presented
tl)e plans which they had formulated
by wliieh all classes might begin on
time Friilay morning. It was the fac
ulty’s desire that classes should begin
as soon as possible in order that no
nu)re time be lost than necessary.
The citizens of the town re.sponded
willingly and promj)tly to the call for
places ill wliich to hold classes.
The places in which tlie different
class(.‘s will meet are listed below in
order that alumni and old students may
know just how this situation is being
met. All classes are called at the reg
ular scheduled time.

LIEURANCE ON PROGRAM
OF FINE INDIAN MOSIC
Render Splendid Program in
Whitley Auditorium Thursday,
January 21,, 1926.
THIRD CONCERT NUMBER
The program of Indian music and
folk songs presented by Mr. and Mrs.
Thurlow’ Lieurance was one of rare
beauty. It was a program which should
have been of great interest to every
one present.
Mrs. Lieurance’s rich, pliable voice
blended well with the tones of the
ilutc, especially in the imitation of the
Niglit-Owl’s Call. Mr. Lieurance adapt
ed herself to each song, suiting her
action to; the idea of the song in such
a nuinner as to appear perfectly natural
in her interpretations. The Indian cos
tumes she wore were very attractive
and gave a touch of atmosphere to
the recital.
Mr. Lieurance was a splendid aceom*
panist and brought out the lovely,
cl'.aracteristic points of every song.
11 is ex})lanatory remarks added much
to the program.
Mr. Lieurance has used the wliole
tone scale in many of his co'mpositions.
This was the original scale of the In
dians and he illustrated it very effec
tively in his demonstration of old In
dian flutes.
The flute obligatos played by Miss
Reid added much to the program and
lier solo number won the hearty ap*
pjov.il of tile audieiict.
The informality of the entire pro*-
gram brought the artists completely in
touch with their audience. It would
be a pleasure to hear another program
given by these artists.
A. B. JOHNSON ELECTED
MANAGING EDITOR ill. &G.
Succeeds Henry Peel to This Office.
Is Capable Successor, Having Served
on the Staff Previously.
Tlie .Tunior Class and the Maroon and
Gold staff were very unfortunate in los
ing a feltow’-member and a co-worker
after (.Hijistmas in Henry Peel. Mr.
Peel, always a worker for his class and
for the Maroon and Gold, of which he
was managing editor, was unable to
re-enter school after Christmas and this,
of course, necessitated the election of
another managing editor. For this posi-
ton !Mr. A. Bennett Jnhnso'n was chosen
by the class. Mr. Johnson has always
shown an active interest in the paper and
has been a frequent contributor to its
columns. This experience and his great
natural ability makes him peculiarly
fit to assume the duties of his office.
TTjuler his watch-care we expect to see
tlie paper progress.
