ALUMNI
a'I' the meeting of the Alumni Executive Committee on Ajiril 20,
C;eorge D. Colclough, our Alumni Editor, was chosen to super-
P vise the work of this Commencement Home-coming.
The student body is looking forward to the return of the
Alumni. It is at this time each year that the graduates return to re
new old acquaintances and friendships, and to look at the place that
they fought for and now' strangely love. 1 here will be some missing.
Some might be despondent and lonely, and otheis who ictuin might
feel exuberantly happy at this reunion.
Mr. Colclough has a real job on his hand. It is up to him to
arrange and to plan this gala event so as to make the Alumni of ’93
or of ’27 feel that they are wanted here on the campus.
“George D" as he is known on the campus, has always taken an
active part in the campus and college activities; but has received
less praise that he deserves. He has always done his work with a
cheery smile both unpretentiously and unassumingly. With this
great responsibility resting on his shoulders, every home-comer will
be guaranteed a real ])rogram of entertainment. In all his undertak
ings, he has been highly successful, which promises you “Old Grads”
an enjoyable time.
SLACKER
I,ON has a successful baseball team this year. We are winning
games consistently, and stand a chance to garner state honors
in this sport. We are proud to have such a battery as Captain
Fowler, David Shepherd, and “Lefty” Briggs to aid in mak
ing this season sq successful. It is our place to “stick in there ’ and
boost our team until the last ball is heaved over the home plate.
'I'here has been much comment about students leaving the grand
stand before the game is finished. The rem.arkable part is, that the
students begin pouring out of the grandstand while Elon is on the
big end of a one-sided score. What difference does it make if the
score is one-sided? It is up to every student to display that old fight
ing spirit to the last—win or lose. Let’s maintain that keen' com
petitive spirit that was clearly demonstrated at the election of Hoover
last week'. Let's be there to cheer for the winners when the victory
is won—our own team.
The Y. M. C. A. of Elon College was
represented at the Annual State Con
ference which convened at Duke TJiii-
versity on April 27-29th, by Daniel C.
Boone, a member of the student bo’dy.
Mr. Boone lias returned to our campus
with a grand report of the Conference
nnd a new insight as to what a real
live “Y” means to t)ie student body
of the jiresent day college.
Tlie means and ways of conducting
a successful “Y" were discussed with
great proiit to those wlio' will be lead
ers in the various institutions of the
state next year. Various plans were
brought before the conference in the
discussion of which Elon was frequent
ly called to the tloor to explain certain
phases of Dr. Harper’s Integrated Pro
gram of Beligious Education as follow
ed upon our campus.
It was unanimously agreed that it
was the duty of the “Y” to administer
to the social and spiritual needs of the
student body. To do this, the ofli.cers
must be students of knowledge; and
it was affirmed by all, that the various
conferences and meetings held from
time to time are the best means by
which this knowledge might be secured.
The Blue Bidge Summer Scho'ol was
named as the best and most profitable.
Willingness to use the knowledge was
the next step brought out by Dr. Le
Sourd in his discussion group. Doing
the job after the student body has in
vested you with the highest honor of
your organization should not only be-
expected but demanded of the various
otlicers.
Among the speaker? for the confer
ence w'ere: Dr. Le Sourd of Duke; 0.
L. Magil, National Y. M. C. A. officer;
Arthur Hugh, another National officer;
and Dean H. J. Herring of Duke. Vari
ous student speakers also made excellent
talks and reports..
The state officers elected for next
year were as follows: Joe E. Moore,
of N. C. State College, President of
Y. M. C. A.; Miss Elizabeth Eoper, of
Salem College, president of Y. W. C. A.;
Miss Isabelle Pharr, of Queens College,
secretary; and J. W, Chandler, of XT. N.
C., treasurer. The colleges represented
at the conference were Grensboro' Col
lege for Women, Mitchell, University of
North Carolina, Elon College, Guilford,
Salem, Duke, N. C. C. W., Davidson,
Atlantic Christian College, E. C. T. C.,
High Point, and Queens CoUege

PEACE CONTEST
X
r w'as our pleasure to entertain a fine group of student oratois
last week who were to participate in the Annual Peace Oratori-1
cal Contest. We did our best to make the occasion a pleasant j
one for our visitors, and we hope they enjoyed being amon^ I
We often have the pleasure of entertaining the members of visit
ing athletic teams, but we wish that w'e might have more opportuni
ties of offering our hospitality to those who participate in honorar)'
and scholastic endeavors.
Our colleges should give more attention to this kind of contests.
It would serve as a, .stimulus for students to become Patrick Henrys
or Henry (iradys. In this day of hustle, bustle, and strife, too much
time is given to sports and social problems. The day of silver
tongued orators is rapidly passing. This is due largely to the lack
of spirit and conscientious training in literary societies. For, really,
it is in these societies that the fundamental training for orators begins.

When Dad was a “Modem Youth’^
ICYCLESjStereopticon lectures,
and the "gilded” youths with
their horses and carts; at night the
midnight oil burning in student
lamps while the gas lights glared and
Hickered across the campus—the
gay nineties v/hen Dad was in
college seem primitive to us to-day.
Now it’s sport roadsters, the
movies, and radios. At night
the Mazda lamp replaces
the midnight oil in dormi
tory room^s, Y/hile modern
street lighting sheds its friendly
glow over the campus.
Without electricity we v/ould
have none of these improve
ments. To-day’s marvel of electrical
invention becomes to-morrow’s
accepted utility. In the coming
years, by taking advantage of new
uses of electricity you will be
able to go so much farther
that the "tearing twenties”
will seem just as primitive
as the "gay nineties”.
