They will do all in their power to help, aid and assist you in making your visit a happy one. Through the hearty co-operation of the Alumni, last year the Maroon and Gold reached many homes of our former students. This year, when every old grad returns for one grand and glorious home coming, we want to be able to arrange with you to send every Alum nus a paper for the coming college year. This issue contains new’S of vital importance to every .Mumnus, and every column should be read diligently. Your Alma Mater is holding out her arms to welcome you. Are you going to respond? —EDITOR. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Executive Committee is arranging a programme for an executive session of the General Alumni Association. It has set 2 :oo o’clock, Monday afternoon. May 28th, as the time. Of course one of the college halls will be available. There are many things of vital interest both as to plans, policy and government, that will be broug'ht up by individuals and committees for consideration, discus sion, approval or rejection. It is very essential that we have a full delegation. Will every local unit see to it that its delegation is elected or appointed? Will localities with organizations, in which are Alumni not yet affiliated, appoint themselves' a delegate to this convention? This session will consume the time between the hour set as above and the hour for the Alumni Oration. After the oration, a programme of entertainment will be the offering of an able commit tee. Look out for their' announcement. —W. H. BOONE. ANIJT'AL RECEPTION TO .ADUATING CLASS I'Continued from Page 1) to yield the name of America’s most famous ornithologist, Audubon. Miss Minnie Johnston was the winner in this contest. The hostess then announced that bird food in small packages was in hiding in various places about the lawn and divided the guests up into five com panies, captained by 'Dean Louise Sav age, Miss Graham Rowland, J. E. Watts, E. W. McCauley and Prof. C. James Velie. Each captain was given the name of a barnyard animal and as one of his troop located a package, the call of that particular animal had to be given until the captain arrived to gather up the bird food. Following the gathering of the bird food, in which E. W. McCauley as representing the dog won the prize, a barnyard chorus was given by the five captains/ in unison. The evening was featured by further games and contests. Promptly at 9:30 the class of ’28 gathered in a phalanx and gave fifteen rahs for the Nightingales and then sang Here’s To Dear Aid Elon. ’ ’ The class of 1928 is one of the largest that Elon has so far graduated. Six of its members will enter the ministry. Some thirty will enter professional teaching. Three or four will go into law. Six will enter business and the others will enter universities and pro fessional schools for graduate work. C. M. Cannon, Special Correspondent.

ELON TEAM CLOSES SEASON WITH SPLENDID RECORD VOLUME II OF ALUMNI VOICE IS MAILED OUT (Continued from Page 1) A COMPLIMENT We wish to express to the staff of the Maroon and Gold our sincere appreciation for their splendid spirit of co-operation in the matter of placing the program of the commencement before our Alumni. They have willingly turned over to the Alumni Association this the last issue of the college paper. (Not only did they turn the paper over to us, but their Advertising Manager, Mr. T. D. Eure, went out free of charge and sold practically enough ads to pay for the paper.) We call this a great favor and hope in some way to e.xpress to the staff the fact that we are grateful. The Maroon and Gold staff' Iiave labored during the past year, and as a reward Elon can. boast of its best year, in so far as the college paper is concerned. Many of the same staff will be in charge next year, and the new additions are as capable as those whose terms expired. For that reason we feel that! next year will be a BANNER YEAR for Maroon and Gold. It would be to youn advantage to have the Maroon and Gold a weekly visitor to your home! during the coming year. Go to the Maroon and Gold office while you are here and subscribe to your college paper. HAVE THE EDITOR EXPLAIN TO YOU HIS PLANS FOR THE COMING YEAR. —GENERAL ALUMNI SECREATRY. meet with your approval. Prof. Barney, editor, is very anxious that you attend the Alumni meeting tl'is spring with something definite in mind concerning the future of this magnzine. So far the college has paid the bulk of the expenses, but from now on we will have to bear our own ex penses. HOW SHALL WE FINANCE OUR MAGAZINE? If every Alumnus will pay we will have over enough to i-un on. HAVE YOU PAID YOUR 1 DOLLAR? If not, see to it that you I send it in at once. I The Staff is especially anxious that all of the Alumni feel free to contribute to this magazine. It must be under stood that the magazine is not a place to iron out difficulties, but rather to display your literary abilities. WILL YOU PREPARE AN ARTICLE? Elon College, May 19.—Elon College wound up its baseball season this week with only one defeat in sixteen schedul ed collegiate games for the best record ever made by an Elon athletic team. Fifteen wins out of sixteen starts is a record that Coach “Peahead” Walker may well be proud of for his first year as coach of the team. In these sixteen college' games Elon scored 161 runs as against their op ponents' 48. '‘Red” Smith with 27, Howard Briggs with 26, and Harring ton with 23 runs, were the scoring com bination for the Christians. Smith got a total of 34 hits for a batting average of 441 per cent for the season to lead the team in hitting honors. Earl Sims with an average of 397% and Howard Driggs w^th an average of 394% were second and third in batting honors. Every member of the team hit well tliis season, and the average for the whole team is high. In only one game, that with Wake Forest in which the score was one to nothing, did Elon make less than six scores. The score for Elon ranged anywhere from six to twenty. The ten men to receive letters, the varsity “E” award, were: Captain Arthur Fowler, Harrington, H. Briggs, Clark, Walker, Smith, Shepherd, Sims, H. Briggs, and Crutchfield. C. M. Cannon. Mr. George Dewey Underwood, ’23, plans to- attend the Michigan Coaching School this summer. Mr. Underwood has been Coach of the Aulander High School for the past year.

It is admitted, however, that there is a difference of opinion among authorities as to the exact number. Catholics regard St. Peter as the firat Pope. MUSICAL EVENTS On Saturday, May 26th, there wi)i be a joint program given in the ley Auditorium at eight o’clock in the evening. This program will be rendered by both the girl’s and boy’s glee, clubs The boy’s glee elub has already -ypoii its reputation with the students by itg appearance in chapel last Thursday We feel sure that the girls will hold our interest'upon this occasion. Although these two small organiza- tions are practically new, they already predict a great future in the musical life of the campus. Prof. C. J. Velie gives his last vesper organ recital Sunday, May 27th, These recitals have regularly been given dur ing the year, and they have been thor oughly enjoyed. We are very fortunate in having a grand organ at Elon, an organ of which the college should be very proud. are also very fortunate in having a goo^ organist, Prof. C. James Velie. Prof. Velie has not only proven fiig outstanding ability as a musical figure but he has also' established the reputa tion of being one of the best sports and on© of the most popular professors on the hill. Last Friday, May 18, Miss Mabel Alexander gave her graduating recital. Miss Alexander, as we all know, has wonderful talents in music, and she rendered her program with a certain ‘‘sureness” which is often Tacking in far more experienced pianists. Prac tically every number of her program was deep, and very difiHcult, but in all cases she was master of the technique and of the expression of all she played. Miss Alexander and Mr. Harrell, the two graduates in piano this year, both have the ability not only to make a future for themselves, but a reputation for Elon, in the musical world. Miss Fern Lasley assisted Miss Alex ander in her recital. Miss Lasley is a graduate in expression. She is a great favorite with the students and has al ready thoroughly established her reputa tion in expression in several plays in she was, in nearly all cases, the chief actor.
