MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MY PROFESSORS CHRISTMAS I lieard the future as it caljed, So camp to dwell within these walls, And the thoijght that w'as uppermost in me Was how my “profs” would impress me. Of Professor: Martin, J cannot begin to tell, When first I heard him spe^k. I almost fell ( I thought him sarcastic, droud of his reign, Yet his teachings of higtorv will ever remain. I know not About Professor Powell what to* say Ho always seemed so huge, jct so happy and gay, I thought him pow’erful in statue and mind And as a science teachep no better could one find. Of “Prof.” Johnson, someione toM me hut I thought it a j^st— Tliat his one failing was fdr pop tests It did not take me long flo' find it to be true. I Yet my classes with him. I ^111 never rue. On December, 25, 1927 years ago a group of wise men came to the eiidl of their long journey. For days and days they had been following a'bright star. They had experienced many privations but were determined to arrive at their destination before the great event came to pass. This event was the birth of the Christ-child. Mary and Joseph had been traveling also. When they arrived at the little town of Bethlehem, all the lodging houses were filled up and they were forced to spend the night in, a stable. It was here, in'a lowly manger, that Jesus was born. In the 33 years that: He lived this Man, who began life in such meek and lowly circumstances, became the greatest leader, the greatest martyr, that has ever lived; and now, nineteen centuries later, His birthday is celebrated over all the world. At this season of the year wc think of gifts. We must remember that (iod gave to the world and to all mankind the greatest gift that has ever been given. In giving and receiving gifts let us always keep in mind the fact that the worth of the gih lies not'in its value Brown I fell mHove at first or its cost, but rather in the spirit with whichl it is given. Q To me she was as lovely as a star at “THE PATSY" Her voice seemed as clear as a tinkling “I'he, Patsy" is. a well written play. lt| contains enough serious- bell ness from which several good morals can be drawn. It also contains About her there is too nmdi for me to enough humor and witty fcmarks*’lo make tlie play very interesting' f*'” and entertaining throughout the entire three acts. This play was a good selection. Miss Johnston deserves'much credit for' her care ful selection of the cast whd performed so admirably in every in stance. Usually a production can be judged by the applause of the audience. The audience, without an exception, ])icked up every trace of mirth and seriousness at their respective times. All seemed to be decidedly appreciative and delightfully entertained with the eve ning’s performance. It was characteristic of Miss Sterrett to play her role in an excellent manner, and Mis^ Lasley was so realistic that it was suggested that a marriage license should be sent for. The previous training of these two ladies was evidenced by their con fidence and ease on the stage. The remainder of the cast also played their respective parts in an excellent manner. The use of the Lord’s name in vain should have been omitted. This was not approved by the instructor. We must remember, how ever, that the players were merely ACTING and not expressing their personal opinions. Taking everything into consideration; Miss Johnston and every member of the cast deserve a great deal of praise and we wish to congratulate her and the entire cast. —E C— EXAMINATIONS “An ounce of ])revention is worth a pound of cure.” This old adage is very true. For that reason we want to merely mention our conduct during exams. We should remember that it is far better to tUuik a course than to cheat and pass it. We' are sent here by our respective communities to be trained as leaders. If w’e do not uphold our honor, all of our training is a failure. Not only we but our relatives and our friends are affected by our conduct. —E C— OUR READERS tell. Miss Johnston impressed me more For I had never met one like her before. 1 thought her as sweet as she coixld be, A gym instructor, a good one, too, you see. But Professor Cotten impressed me most As if he had traveled from coast to coast. As if he had not a friend in the world As i^ he had been deceived by a girl. However, these impressions may not last But may change as time shall pass, I have merely told you the ways I felt about my “profs” the first days. Mary L. Dix, ’SI. To each and every one of our readers we wish a Merry Christmas and a Ha])py New Year. We hope that each and every student will enjoy the holidays and return after Christmas with more zest to enter into the duties of the new' year. THE GREATEST such things thJit present-day wise men CHRISTMAS GIFT see the morning star which foretells the coming of the age when righteoiis- (CoDtinued from Page 1) Olives. But if w’c will examine closely the history of real progressive move ments among men, we shall find that tlie Hpirit-prescnce of Jesus has been in the world since the first Christmas day. Working through men’s lives, it lias given slaves their liberty, has I so long as it is shut out O'f human (organized Bed C'ross societies and built; iiourts. We may never know whether ness, peace, lioliness, and love shall dwell on the earth. The Spirit of Christ in human lives is tlie only key that will unlock the problems of in dustry, of international relationships, and of the individual heart. But the Christ-spirit can not work hosjiitals for the relieving of human mitTi-iijig, has built schools to give pooplo the light of truth, has caused nu‘ii to think of their bodies as the true temples for the indwelling of God. and has started a feeling of world- i>rothorhood which has outlawed some forms of war and may finally put an ond to the srourge of international con- fli.t. the baby Jesus felt lonely when the people of the w’orld were so busy with their own affairs that they left no place for Him at the inn; but judging from his intense feeling when one of the brothers is treated unkindly, we may be sure that He feels lonely today when a heart makes rooin for pleasure and business, but has no room for the Savior. However, the Christ-less life BE A SANTA-PAL Outside a cold and shiny window Fronting on a toy shop place, There’s an interesting study, If you watch a little buddy As he presses close his face. Toys and things that seem to thrill him Ho-ld him there the live-long day. Sorta wishing, kinda hoping, But it’s in the dark he’s groping. That’s a little poor kid’s way. Queer, but they 'don’t let him touch them. Stand and look I guess that’s all. None to lend, and none to give them, Looks as though he’ll never have them. Doesn’t seem quite fair at all. Comes the day of Cliristmas spirit. Cheer for all. Is that quite true? Well, it can be if we’ll make it Brighten up a heart—or break it. All depends on what we do. Let’s remember all these kiddies. Not forget that they are here. Make some poor tot glad he’s living. You can do your share by giving. Be a Santa-Pal this year. Frank Lynn. (Franklin). Dear Shieks, Jackanapes, Hobble-de- hoys, and Wimmin’ Killers: It sho’ won’t do to trust a woman who says she loves you more than any body else in the world, fo’ that is proof nuff that she sho" has done been doin’ spermentin’ work. Insanely, Oscar. P. S. You never can tell about wim- min ’ nohow and even if you could, you shouldn’t, you know. —Space for rent: ( )— Wanted—a white man to milk and drive 1028 model Ford truck. —The last word— “Stop your talking back there,” said Professor Martin on history class. “I want to do all the talking in this cl^ss, for as soon as it is over I am going home. ’ ’ —in petting parties— Sound-proof snore mufflers going like hot cakes.

If you think this, just stay awake some night and hear for yourself. 18— Professor Martin has a bright bunch of students on his History II class, and Daniel Boone is one of them. This is how Dan “gets by:” Prof. Martin: Old Pioneer, how long did the Thirty Years War last? Daniel: Thirty years, sir. Prof. Martin: That’s right. No'w, when -was the war of 1812 fought? Daniel: You can’t get me on them ketch questions. It was fought in 1812. Prof. Martin: Well, Old Bar Killer, since you are so brilliant, you may give us Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Daniel: You can’t fool me on that either. He didn’t live there. —STOP— Miss Savage: Look here now, why did you let Vickers kiss you? Marjorie Moore: Didn’t you see his badge? It’s against the law to resist an officer. —Did you know—• A poor aleepy-eyed freshman stumbled into the ofllce today to ask if Tom Lowry is not too' young, shiekish*. liand- some, and has too many dress suits to be a grocer and the father of two beautiful girls. Well, it does look that way to us. —Marble busts'?— By the way, Miss Johnston reports that) her expression class for next year is already filled up by over 200 aspir ing heroes. —and Niagara Falls?— Prof. Velie: Did you know Mr. Ehodes has T.

I’m not snoring—using one of P. B. S’s sno're mufflers. Merry Christmas, Oscar. 63 COLLtGE PROFFERS AND STUDENTS MNO CDN. Dr. Harper Held Prominent Part on Program. A short time ago sixty-three college professors or presidents and one hun dred and twenty-one male students from various colleges and universities of Kentucky assembled at Morehead, Ky. The theme of this great meeting was, “Christ in Education.” Our president was asked to take a very prominent place on the program, which he did. His three conferences for faculty members on the subject, “How to Make Our Colleges Christian” and his address to the entire group on, “Christ and the Co'llege Man.” w’ere greatly appreciated by all present. This is evidenced by the fact that he w’as asked for copies of his address to be sent to' all the colleges in the state for group discussion by the faculty mem bers of each institution. Dr. Harper also attended a recent meeting of the Christian Missionary Association of the Eastern Virginia Conference held at Holland, Virginia. While there he was entertained in the hoTne of Rev. W. C. Hook, Elon gradu ate of the class of ’21,, and at present pastor of the Holland Christian church. The most important feature of this meeting was the adoption of a resolu tion calling on the Executive Commit tee of the Southern Christian Conven tion to' appoint a Laymen’s Coramissioa which will map out a program for Lay men in the local church in (^rder that they may serve more effectively in the work of the church. —MEET ME AT— CITY DRUG On The Corner Elon Students’ Rendezvous BURLINGTON, N.

Cornell^ fellow of Duke Uni versity, that by eating one-half pound of calf liver a day the disease Pernici ous Anemia can be cured. A book on the subject has been prepared by Dr. Cornell, and it is now with the Duke Press for publication. Following the death of J. B. Duke, the officials of Duke University began to interest themselves in the eradica tion of this disease which had wroifgTit so much havoc in the w^orldj and had been directly responsible for the death of Mr. Duke. As a consequence of this interest Beaumont S. Cornell, M. D., M. H. C. S.^ L. E. C. P., (Eng.) was ap pointed a fellow by the university to search out a cure for the disease. Up to this time Pernicious Anema had invariably proved fatal to those afflicted. The remedy as proposed by Dr. Cornell is comparatively simple, and had Mr. Duke know’n of this won derful discover)', he* would probably have lavished a great portion o-f his enormous fortune on the discoverer. This discovery has cost Duke Uni versity thousands of dollars, but ac cording to leading medic.^1 journals it is the greatest contribution made to this field in the past fifty years. Arme Drug Co.
