NUMBER 9. iCONGERT COyRSE TO BE GIVEN AT ELON Prof. Velie Announces That the Course Will Be 'Opened] by Miss Suzanna Keener. Prof. Velie aiiuouuces that the Ala mance County Concert Course for this season will open Tuesday evening, Octo ber 9, with a return engagement of Miss Suzanna Keener, the captivating, col oratura soprano who won such admira tion on her first appearance at Elon two years ago. Voices are many, musician ship is fairly common and histrionic ability is rare although not unknown, but in Miss Keener we find all these at tributes in the same lovely little artist. On Monday evening, November 12, the Chicago Concert Company will be with us. The company is composed of Marie Sweet, soprano; Kathleen Ryan, contralto; Paul Mallory, tenor; Frank Bennett, baritone, and Marjorie Culver, pianist. The repertoire of the company is wide and includes various numbers of both grave and gay moods—solo’s, duos, trio«, quartettes, and many numbers of -popular appeal. Furthermore, they will present an act of opera in full costume. Tony Sarg’s Marionettes offer two programs on Wednesday, January 16— a matinee and evening performance. Tony Sarg’s Marionettes are life-like if not life-size, and are made on a pro portionate scale which makes them a desirable feature in the largest theatres and auditoriums. Every member of the company is a musical artist, and vocal and instrumental numbers are featured on every program. The Concert Course closes on April 8 •with the presentation of one of the (Continued on Page 3) OR. S0HER8ELL GME INSPIRING LECIORES Dr. Summerbell Delivered Two Splen did Lectures Which Were Enjoyed By All. Dr. Martyn Summerbell, who is deeply interested in church unity and, is one of the outstanding leaders and thinkers in church work as well as a scholar of rote, lectured Friday and Saturday mornings in the Whitley auditorium. Dr. Summerbell delivered two splendid lectures, the first on ‘‘Our Friends, the Baptists,’’ and the second on ‘‘Our Friends, The Pilgrim Church.’’ In his very able lecture on the Bap tists Dr. Summerbell traced the begin nings and growth of the Baptists in Europe as well as in America. He ehcw’ed how Luther opposed the Bap tists and caused them to flee to England where they were persecuted. He traced (Continued on Page 2) MISS MARY ANN BENN Miss Benn, by her sweet voice, along with her splendid personality, has plac ed herself in the highest esteem of the student body at Elon. We take pride in the fact that Miss Benn has been tlioroughly trained for the work in which she is now engaged. She graduated with honor at Chicora College in Columbia, South Carolina. Aside from this preparation she lias also been studj'ing in New York City for tho( last two years with Catherine Bellamann and Dudley Buck. Previous to this, she had the opportunity to coach with Estelle Seibling. Her last two important recitals were given in Uniontown, Alabama and in New York City, respectively. In both of these ap pearances she made a decided hit witli her audiences. ^2 ROLAND “SMITTY” SMITH Another Ensley boy. Smitty was among last year’s letter men, and won a regular birth at tackle. The latter part of the season his educated toe was his outstanding feature, and we hope that the “football sheik” will again get his to'e to working and keep the “Christians” out of the danger zone. ^ — “THE SPOTLIGHT” SHOWN HERE LAST SATURDAY Due to the courtesy of the Man agement of the Carolina Theatre, Burlington, the Faculty, Students, and Citizens of Elon College were privileged to see a very interest ing picture entitled “The Spot light” here Saturday night. For some reason the picture which was to be shown did not arrive. When the circumstances were explained to Mr. Stephenson of the Carolina, he immediately offered the use of the film which he used at his theatre on Monday and Tuesday of this week. This kind favor was greatly appre ciated by all who witnessed the picture. THE BEm OiGRON REH SORORITl ENIERUINEO The Beta Omicron Beta Sorority of Elon College were graciously entertain ed by Miss Virginia Harden and Miss Mary Brannock at the home of Mrs. R. M. Clendenn:n, of Elon College,- last Monday eveniiig. The evening was spent in a gay, laughijig “talk-fest, ” and delicious refreshments of chicken salad, sandwiches, iced-tea and cake vvere served. Each guest was then pre sented with a corsage of white and pink ■oses. Those present were: Misses Marian Valle, Mary Brannock, Virginia Harden, Ruth Alexander, Alberta Roberts, Grace Stout, Nellie White, Marjorie Moore, Virginia Brown and Sue Ella Watts. Mrs. W. A.

SIGl PHI BETH GLliB WINS SGiLSRSRIP CUP The Sigma Phi Beta Social Club has been awarded the scholarship Loving Cup for the spring semester of 1928. The winning of this cup by one of the social clubs means that that social club has made the highest scholastic average during the last semester. It is a coveted honor to secure this Lov ing Cup. Should any of the social clubs succeed in holding this Loving Cup for four successive semesters, it will then become the possession of that club. Prof. Ralph B. Tower, in his gracious piesentation of this trophy on last Thursday morning, congratulated the Sigma Phi Beta men and told them that they could justly be proud of their achievement. The Alpha Pi Delta Social Club held (Continued on Page 4) COMER FIELD CLOSED TO mi GOT PLUyERS Comer field was closed to outsiders Monday, for secret practice, and will ‘ontinue throughout the season. Monday, due partly to cold weather, ind mostly to the increased interest, he team showed a great improvement )ver the previous weeks. Captain lardy says the men are working better, jIso the plays are better than ever be fore. The green men are showing a rapid tride in the fundamentals of the game. Coach Walker has been giving the backs, ends and tackles stiff work-outs n both defense and offense. The spirit of the team continues to ise and Captain Hardy says that when he Christians meet the Wolfpack down .t Raleigh Friday, the team will be on he stampede. With a line averaging 165 pounds, and a back field averaging 160 pounds, though the line is much ighter than the opponents, the spirit of he team as a whole and individually, will carry the banner of “Maroon and jold” on to victory. Remember team, those boys down at Paleigh put on the.ir pants the same way you do, they play football the same way you do, show them Friday that you are made out of a little bit better stuff than they' are. Let them know that whoopee is “little but loud.” Remember Hiadents, the more we back that team, the more they will fight for us. Let’s all go to State College Friday, and show our team that we are “bleacli- V athletes.” back of them, and help continue the spirit that Coach Walker has developed in his men. PROF. A. R. VAN CLEAVE, A. B., M. A. Professor of Philosophy and Social Science. Studied at Union Christian College, Indiana State Normal, reeeived his A. B. degree from Indiana Uni- veisity, liis M. A. from Chicago Uni versity, and is now working on his Ph. D. at Indiana University, j The young [leople of Elon have a staunch friend in the person of Pro- jfessor Van Cleave. He knows and un- iderstands youth, and is ever ready with ja smile to help them with their tasks and problems. He has won a permanent place in the hearts of both faculty and students. We feel fortunate in having at Elon a man of such character and atilitv as Professor Van Cleave. SOPROmRESIFRESRIflEN SEREiOE yOONG LflOIES PROF.

Then there came a gentle tapping at my Bug- House door. “Who is out,” said I. “It’s me, came the reply. “We are going to serenade the young ladies.” I grabbed my trousers and a shirt and ran to the gyni.
