Dr. Harper opened his talk by reading and giving favorable comment on the code of ethics adopted by the Rotary Club of Burlington. He explained also that all other clubs, such as the Civitans, Kiwanis, and Lions had a similar code. The substance of Dr. Harper’s lec ture dealt with four major topics in relation to “The Business Man’s Creevl.” First was ‘‘The Motive of Service,” which considers profits as a by-product. Second, the good business man orders his life in business relations .occo'rding to the Golden Rule, particu larly in appreciation and co-operation. Third, God’s will is the SINE QUA NON of business achievement. Fourth, Marie Montana To Appear At Elon On Thursday Night, May 10 CHRISilllNS WHITEWASH jjUAKEHS IN FAST GAME Capt. Fowler Allowed Only Five Hits to Win 8 to o. Here is the man who has led the Elon teams of this year to one of the best years that the Maroon and Gold has ever enjoyed in the sport field. Coach Walker came to us last fall with only a few letter men back with whom to work in football. Facing a ne-w situ ation and with a number of new men to break in, he yet turned out a far superior eleven to that of the preced- ing year. Then came the basketball season, Coach installed an entirely new sort of play which had just begun to func reward* to^persons who have “ service j tion well toward the end of the season, well performed.” ' When the creed of | This type of game, however, bids fair the modern business man includes these principles, the verdict, “well done, good and faithful servant,” will be proiiuuiice manner. n'losc wlicrie-hearied SOPHOIBE CLASS ELECT HOWARD BBIGGS PHES.

And at laet cunitlT' I\'aheud s rent baseball successes. Boy, oh boy, but w'hat life he has added to' this group of athletes. He has developed a brainy team, and has coached them on tbeir mistakes and faults until they are nearly obliterated. With Coach direct ing them from the bench—0 defeat wd'.ere is thy sting?

Miss Montana at the Age of Fourteen Received the Artist Degree From the Toronto Conservatory of Music. The Christians white w^ashed the Quakers here Saturday in a most in teresting game. The Christians were able to garner thirteen hits off the of ferings of Coltrane and Zachary to net a total of eight runs. Art” Fowler, Elon’s mound ace, kept the Quaker batters at bay through out the game, allowing only five well scattered hits, three of which came in the last inning. The Quakers threatened to score in the ninth when a couple of hits put a man on third with only one out. How ever, Parrish poi>ped up to the infield, and Hinshaw struck out, thus ending the game and giving the Christians an other shut-out victory. Coltrane was relieved by Zachary in the fourth, but the later failed to check the hard hitting Christians. Rabb, for Guilford, who went on the mound in the last inning, yielded no hits and sent two men back to the bench via the strike-out route. Otney” Briggs and “Squire” Sims were the batting stars far the Chris tians. Briggs collected a double and two singles out of three trips to the rubber, and Sims a triple and t.vo singles out of four trips to the plate. “Red” Smith, the Christian’s star third sacker, also did some timely hit- t?ng and was a big aid to the Christians in the field. Students Are Delighted to Have a World Famous Singer Ap pearing at Elon. Marie Montana, noted soprano, is to appear here on May 10th. At her New York recital last winter, she had the distinction of receiving the unanimous praise of her critics, as well as having her recital called one of the most bril liant of the season. On her European tour her experience was the same. Marie Montana made her first appear ance at the age of tw^elve in the Mikado.” After, two years of study she received the Artist’s Degree from the Toronto Conservatory of Mus^c, an achievement not previously accomplish ed by any other student. After a period of study at “Te Conservatoire Ameri- cair. ” and in Italy with Ernestina Bruschini, she made her debut in the opera, “La Boheme.” Her success was immediate, and after singing the role of A^ioletta in “La Traviata’^ at Geneva she was in demand throughout Italy. She has since sung in recitals in such widely separated cities as Shanghai, China and Paris, France, as well as with many prominent clubs and organizations in America. The follow'ing are quotations from criticisms of Marie Montana by lead ing Now York critics:—“Songs made more attractive by her personality and charming style.” “Has perfected a recital technique which many better known artista mipht envy,” “Entjcing vocalist—voice beautifully colored and artistically emitted.” “Her interpreta tion as delectable as her diction is crystal clear.” The students are delighted by the opportunity of hearing an artist by so- much talent, promise, and increasing renown as Marie Montana. The election of officers for the Sopho more class of next year was held in the chapel this morning. All other students, with the exception of the Freshmen of this year were excused from chapel and a heated election en sued. Tlie meeting was opened by the President, Jim I'owler, who made a short but impressive talk in summary of this year’s work done by the vari ous jnenibers of the class. Nominations were then in order for the President of the class for the following year. Those nominated were: Howard Briggs, T. B. Hamrick, K. B. Hook and J. S. Fowler. , Discussion was then in order and ad vantage was taken of the fact. Many speeches were made in favor cff the vari ous nominees, and the votes were cast and counted. Mr. Briggs lacked a two- thirds majority by one and one-third vote. The meeting adjourned to meet at one-thirty. The meeting was again called and a letter was presented and read by the acting chairman, wherein the three (Continued on Page 3) “Hardrock” Simpson, Elon track n?.an and the south ?s only entry in C.

Pyle’s 3,500 mile marathon, is still in the race. “Hardrock” is in almost perfect condition compared w'ith some of the other contestants. “Hardrock” is far behind the load er, it is true, but with his steel deter mination, w^ill power, ambition, and the hearty support of his home folks and Alma Mater, he should have no trouble in being one o'f the leaders, in fact, the leading sports writers are of the opinion that Simpson w^ill be one of the first ten to cross, in lapsed time, if he re mains in the race. Let us not forget that what w’e do towards “Hardrock” back home will I largely determine his success in the great “bunioii derby” of the time. It will be interesting to note that Wesley “Little Chop Suey” Williams has left for thC{ wild and w^ooly west to take care of “Hardrock” on this long grind. “Shop Suey” is a classmate of Simp- on ’s, and “Hardrock’’ asked for his aid in this mightv marathon.
