If, at first, he takes the right road, the student will go steadily forward. It will not be necessary for him to retrace his steps and lose valuable time, money, and effort by do ing so. A Vocational Guidance School has been suggested to aid stu dents in choosing' their professions. This will include about six of the leading professions. Men who are proininent in their respective fields and who are thoroughly capable of presenting their subjects will be invited to speak to the student body. They will give a brief resume of their profession and show what it offers to one who may enter it. Possibly a great majority of us have not decided what we shall do after graduation. To these students the lectures will be of especial interest. The Freshman and Sophomore will pay particular atten tion, as it is time for them to select a major around which they can group their elective courses for the next two years. The Juniors and Seniors will be interested as they are soon to enter one of the professions and these practical talks from eminent and experienced men will dissuade them from many mistakes. These speakers will present the fundamental and essential factors that are necessary if one w'ishes to become a success in ones of these various professions. They will show the good and bad points, the desirable and undesirable, the high and low marks of their profession. We urge all to attend these lectures. They will be of inestimable value and those who hear them will be well paid for their time. —E C— ATHLETICS Our football season passed with a fair showing for our team. 'Tis true, it’ was not) as good as it might have been, yet it was better than it had been for several preceding years. Our basketball season is finished excepting for one game. This likewise could have been better; yet, W'e won a good percentage of our games. The team went on a northern trip and came in contact with many schools, with which it had not been our pleasure' to en gage in athletic contests before. This is a forward step in athletics, and we hope that the Committee w'ill see fit to continue scheduling trips of this nature. The baseball season has just opened. Some think it is too early to make any predictions, but we are not afraid to vouch for our old standby. Baseball is one sport in which a small college has a chance to compete with the larger ones, and we believe' that the Elon nine will give a good account of themselves this year as they have in the past. We lost only a second and third baseman and an outfielder from last year's team. With the wealth of new material these positions should be filled easily. The pitching staff has been strengthened, and we are looking forward to some excellent W'ork' on the part of its niembefs. Students, let’s stay behind this team. It's sure to be a Kitty Johnson: What kind of a car have you got? “Eed” Jones: I’ve got a wreck. Kitty Johnson: A wreck? “Eed” Jones: Yeah!

Hannah Newman; Kissproof. Paul Mather: Well, rub it off—we’ve got (can’t) some work to? do. When Cole was a little boy, they tell this story about him: One day, his moth er waSj heard to say: (After spending an entire sleepless night trying to make Cole learn how to go to sleep without the customary night light): “Why Cole dear you shouldn’t be afraid of the dark.” Little Cole: “Au Ma, I can’t help it. It gets in my eyes, and I can’t see a thing.’’ Prof. Martin: (to puzzled Jim Utley) What's the matter, don’t you know the question? Jim; Yeah! But I don’t know the answer. Little David: Have you heard the new Swiss anthem? Prof. Velie: No! What is it? Little David: Aint cheese sweet?

The major has written his view of Steeds and has handed it in to be published. ‘‘Steeds is a great town, for we suc ceeded in finding it. A kind and generous people we found! there, fop they fed us. Merciful on the mental deficient—we were not arrested. We also found out from inquiry that( ‘Roineo’ Davis was really from town and not from the country. We found that his country ways came from asso ciating with ‘Jim’ Brown and being Cliff Thomas’s kinsman. On our journey we took a view of the peach section. We announce that the trees do not shed their blossoms in January. But Davis had lip' stick on his cheek. Who said it was ‘kiss proof’!” —yes, Main, Ladies, Box 58, Asheboro— “What would you be if you weren’t an Eloinite said one.” “I’d be ashamed,^’ said another. Many thanks to* Little Miss McKin ney, “Plato” Lawrence, and “Major” Hudson for their contributions.
