'I'hree cheers for the red, white,
and blue.‘ Three and two-fifths
cheers for the Maroon and Gold.
As this is the first issue this year,
we might as well say welcome to
the old members back, giving
the new members a welcome, also
bidding you all a Merry Christmas
at the same time.
—EC—
When you go home Christmas
and hang up your stocking, if
you’re a girl, you are lucky. If
you're a boy, you’ll have to bor
row a stocking from your flapper
sister in order to carry out the
Christmas spirit and won’t have
to get up to see what you got.
—EG
As the Maroon and Gold is bid
ding you welcome and a Merry
Christmas, we might as well ex
tend to you greetings of Thanks
giving. Armistice day, and any
other greetings we may have
overlooked.
—EC—
To the people back home we
say prepare a feast, for your son
(daughter) is anxious to set his
(her) bi-peds under the old fam
ily dishpan—I mean dining table.
Speaking of dishpans, don’t we
have wonderful soup?
—EC—
To our dear professors we
humly bow (until exams are over)
and wish them a very Merry
Christmas (if w'c pass).
—EC—
By the way, I hear we will have
a mass meeting of the present
student body on January 5th at
Elon. Hope to see you back.
-EC-
Speaking of meetings, we wish
to announce a Psykaleon literary
societ}' meeting after each meal.
—EC—
Yes, the Maroon and Gold has
been resurrected and will con
tinue to be the scandal sheet of
dear old Elon and to give account
of the coming successful basket
ball season.
—EC—
We can rest assured that we
will have a successful season in
basketball with the material we
have and with Dr. Jay and Mr.
Sites as coaches. Anyway some
of our opponent colleges feel
that we will have a successful
year and don’t want to be
trampled on by Elon.
—EC—
Folks, do you ever take any
snapshots? Take a few and turn
a copy into the' Phipsicli office to
be run in the .'\nnual. The staif
wishes to run quite a few giving
the life of the students. If you
can't find anything to take a pic
ture of, take a picture of yourself.
Tie a string to the camera, walk
oft' and pull the string. If this
don't work, call Cecil B. DeMille.
Remember a free Annual is offer
ed as prize for the best collection
of snapshots.
Have you heard about fire pre
vention week? Elonites believe
in fire prevention and keep the
Alumni building soaked with
water to keep it from burning'.
—EC—
We take great pleasure in an
nouncing that Coach Sanders has
his head up again. He looked
indeed bald w'ith it drooped.
—EC—
We, the students that will not
be back after Christmas, bid those
that will God-speed and say that
we will have pleasant memories
of the students here.
—EC—
We, the fetudents that will be
back, merely say “Au Revoir” for
we know that we hail here again
January 5th with gladness.
—EC—
.A little friendly advice to those
that need it. Be sure to hide all
ICO watt bulbs, irons, vacuum
cleaners, motion picture projec
tors, curling or other electric ap
paratus, fire-crackers, etc., that
you have in your rooms. Take
oft' all pasted pictures.
—EC—
Elon has never before had such
a bright future before her as she
has now. As we are in the. South
ern Association of Colleges, and
have such good prospects for
basketball and baseball and other
things, we should give Elon all
we have to make her known as
the best.
—EC—
Did you hear Dr. Harper and
Prof. Martin singing, “I am a
dumb-bell, are you?”
—EC—
And now, in confusion, let me
bid all of you a terrible—excuse
me, I mean, a pleasant holiday
season. .
ROMANCE
Koniance is dead, they say—the
worldly wise—
And show impatience with our
dreams and songs;
They say such folly to that age
belongs
Which was the “golden” to il-
lusioned eyes.
Romance is dead? When over
land and sea
Man-birds are flying, seeking dis
tant goals;
When daring science scans the
stellar shoals,
And brings to light the stars’
consistency?
Romance is dead? When over
air-waives run
Unnumbered song's and messages
of cheer?
When in a moment nations are
brought near
And by a word the thoughts of
earth are one?
Forget the midnight of the hoary
past.
Awake from sleep—romance is
here at last!
—Thomas Curtis Clark,
in The Christian Century.

Following the program, “Sallie''

Louis Nationals with whom he re
mained five years. Tlie following
years, 1913 and 1914 he toured the
w'orld with the New York Giants and
Chicago White Socks.
Besides his experience in the big
leagues he has had quite a varied ex
perience as co'ach of college ball teams,
beginning w'ith Elon in 1910, Atlantic
Christian College in 1911 and 1912, tlie
University of North Carolina in 1917
and 1918, Purdue University at Lafay
ette, Ind., in 1919, and helped coach
the Harvard team prior to the Yale
game in 1920.
“Bunny” went from hat boy to
President of the Wilson Club, and has
liad a great variety of experiences in
organized ball, and always he has been
a clean player and kept in good shape,
being none the worse for his long
record in professional ball. He says
he likes Elon best for the kindly w'ay
in wiiich they received him here, and
that he will always have a kindly feel
ing for the good old college.
Those campus bells,
Tliose campus bells.
What tales their solemn music tells
A knell to all our jolly fun, ’
They end it ’ere it’s half beguu.
Tliose dreaded bells,
Those hated bells,
Wlien on the air their clamor swells
I thoroughly wish those bells to be—
Knelling at mermaids ’neath the sea-
Calling them in from sea-cave trysts'
Where they can’t spoil our social bliss
—Nila Grarnette Amiek
THOSE CAMPUS BELLS
SEPARATION
When shades of night erase the light
Witli shadow's that come creeping,
And all the rest with peace seem blest
And straightway fall a-sleeping.
My spirit goes to seek repose
Witli one that’s to it mated.
And leaves in pain a heart that fain
Would not be separated.
—Nila Garnette Amick.
A Rattling Good One
“Hear you got a new car. Does
she rattle?”
“Rattle? I’ll say she rattles-
sounds like a skeleton having a
chill on a tin roof.”
an-power
The laboratories and
shops of industry are the
sources of many of the
enduring attainments of
our times. In the Gen
eral Electric organiza
tion is an army of 75,000
persons, co-operating to
make electricity do more
and better work for
humanity.
A series of G-E adver
tisements showing what
electricity is doing in
many fields will be sent
on request. Ask for book
let GEK-IS.
Four millions of the best man-power of Europe
perished in the Napoleonic conquests. Military con
quest is non-creative, v/hile industry is always
creative.
In the last ten years one American manufacturer—
the General Electric Company—has created machines
having a man-power forty times as great as that of
all the lives lost in the Napoleonic wars.
In the years to come, when the college men and women
of today are at the helm of industry and of the home,
it will be realized more and more that human energy
is too valuable to be wasted where electricity can do
the work better at lower cost.
