WILL FRIDAY BE THE UNLUCKY DAY FOE THE QUAKERS? aroon anb #o TRIM THE QUAKERS OR BE ASHAMED! VOLUME X. ELON COLLEGE, N. C„ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1928 NUMBER 13 Cheerios Plan Performance For Elon-Gviilford Clafeh PAP EURE TRAINS GROUP. J’reshnien Show Great Interest; Guilford Their Motto. Beat Twenty-five men are at hard re hearsals every night this week, work ing to promote more and better spirit at Eloii. These men are all from the •Class of ’32 and claim it is their duty to represent their class on Comer Field for every game. Such a spirited class assures Elon of athletic support for the next four years. Their first rehearsal was in the gym nasium last Tuesday evening. Cheer Leader ‘‘Pap” Eure says he never talked to‘ a more interested group of men. Eat’h man had learned that he could play ait active part on the side line, and that it -was his duty as a loval Elonite to take this part. Several of these men made the remark that they would support their team through the last game, because every Elon ath lete was worthy of the students’ sup port. Eure told his cheerios the plan of their performance for the Elon-Guilford game which is t0‘ be played next Friday and had them to go through this plan twice at each rehearsal so that it might be put across in great style. Xot only should the Class of ’32 with its twentv-five cheerios be behind their team with a hearty yell, but Sopho mores, I'pperclassmen and all should be ill this. Our toain expects it. It is our duty. The cheer leaders are doing all they can to create a warm, spirited atmos phere between the athletes and students. Last week was one of the best week’s ■work on the part of thp rhocr leader •-'ver at Elon. "We give our present cheer leaders this credit. Xow the thing left for us to do is to yell when they sav so: and just because we lost from Eichniouil, don’t think that GuilfOrd can wallop us—^sEA ERI THE ECONOiCS CLUB HSilEGULAeillEElG Mr. T. D. Blair, of the Pilot Life Insur ance Company, Gives Interesting Talk on “The House of Protection.” The Economies Club met Wednesday, October 17th, for the purpo-se of hear ing Mr. T. Y>. Blair, of Greensboro, a representative of the Pilot Life Insur ance Company. Mr. Blair spoke to the Club on t3w subject: ‘‘Tlie House of Protection. ’ • ^Er. Blair's speech of last year was rcmembfred by the students as being one of the most interesting on the pro gram of talks given by the various busi ness men of the towns near the col lege. IMr. Blair explained the functions of the insurance business in his talk and gave illustrations of errors made by people in wrong investments of insur ance money that has been paid them from the policy of some person. His short talk proved most interesting and of great value to the business dents.

C. Wicker at the regular meeting of the Ministerial Association Friday night. Dr. Wicker is a former member of the faculty of Elon College, and is an authority in the field of Psychology. The Association was very fortunate in securing such a prominent speaker to address tliem. Dr. Wicker, after discussing the pioblems, spoke on the value of Psy chology to a minister. He discussed the following problems: The A’alue of Neatness in the Ministry; The Value of Correct English; Tlie A'alue of Simpli city; and Tlie Value of Study. He handled the subject in a wonder ful way^ keeping the members of the Association in suspense while he talked. All who heard him -were very much phased and felt greatly profited by at- tendiiiff the meeting.

The Psiphelians and the Psykaleons are looking forward to- their annual debate which will take place at an early date. To uphold their society, the Psipheli- nns have chosen Misses Jewel Truitt, Mildred Johnson, and Eva Sykes. The society is expecting the very best of these young ladies and is depending on them to bring victory to the Psiphelians. Equally expectant of victory are the Psykaleons, who have chosen for their debaters Misses Estelle Williams, Char lotte lioberts, and Viola Worsley.

THE V. W. C. A. SPIRITED MEETIIG The Board of Christian Education Ap proves the Plan of Uniting With Congregational Church. Dr. W. A. Harper has just returned fram Dayton, Ohio, where he attended a meeting of the several boards of the church and tlie genei'al officers of the Christian denomination. The boards making up the one generjil board are as follows: Home Mission Board, Foreign Mission Board, Board of Evangelism, Board of Finance, Board of Publications, Board of Christian Education. The Board of Christian Education, of which our own Dr. Harper is president, reaffirmed its adherence to an integrat ed program of Religious Education, particularly as applied to’ the field of organization, finance and instruction. The general board gave particular at tention to two problems—“The Herald of Gospel Liberty” and the union of the Christian with the Congregational church. This board voted to relieve the Christian Publishing Association of the (Continued on Page 2) GLEE CLUB ORGANIZES FOR YEAR'S WORK At their last meeting, the Philologi- ans made the venture of undertaking an extemporaneous program. The speakers were given their subjects af ter the meeting was called to order, and they rose: to the o’ccasion in a bet ter way than could liave been expected. Mr. C. P. Thompson was given a topic which he announced and discussed in part as follows: “How to Get By tlie Profs—Well I don’t.” But this t( pie might be understood in different ways. If it means how to get by a fat prof. on the walk, you can step step aside and let him do' the passing, or else turn back and not need to get bv. But if this topic lias reference to social matters, you can get by the jrof. w'ith your girl hidden under your coat, if yoa w'ill surprise him by say ing something intelligent wdien you meet him. If it refers to getting by in a course—I can’t give much informa tion on that subject. Once I tried studying hard, and flunked a course. This made me mad and I quit studying :ind received a go’od grade.” Then Mr. Thoinpson delivered a wise homily on the dangers of students studying and to" cheer their debaters. The date of the debate w’ill be announced soon in the !Maroon and Gold. Prof. Velie Directs the Organization. The bovs’ glee club organized this week for this year’s work. The club is limited to sixteen; voices, and they are expected to exhibit an unusual in terest and accomplishment in music during this school year, under the able direction of Professor C. James Velie, Dean of Music. Miss Williams was declared the best on the program. Did you attend the Y. W. C. A. meet ing last Sunday evening? If you did not you missed a rare treat—a real trip to Blue Ridge! The rostrum steps in the Y hall formed the steps of the Robert E. Lee Hall and here was en acted a day o’f the busy r6und of life at Blue Ridpe. Alma Kimball and ^lary Rawls Jones were on the steps of Lee Hall to wel come Mabel Coghill and Alberta Roberts who came to Blue Ridgd, for the first time. Then Birdie Rowland and Mar garet Lawrence talked about the -won derful time: they had had so far and the fun they expected to have. The day really began with a very impres sive Glen Service, during which Jewel Truitt gave a short talk and several songs were sung. Representing work-shop hour were Jewel Truitt, Alma KiTuball, Doll Un derwood, Eva Sykes, Mabel Coghill, :Moyd Fite, Jean Grubb, Margaret Law rence. and Birdie Rowland. These young ladies sat on the steps of Lee Hall and discussed problems that are of interest to girls. Tennis, hiking, and swimming as ipajor sports at Blue Ridge found their places on the program, ^\ith the sports came a long hike to High Top. At three o’clock in the morning, too! But every one was ready to go. As a fitting close to the full day came Vesper service on the steps of Lee Hall.

SPIRITED MASS MEETING One of the most enthusiasitc meet ings of the year was held in the chapel Friday evening preceding the big game W’ith Richmond Saturday. Practically the entire student body met to pledge again their support to the college and to the team. The meeting was opened, by the sing ing of the Co'llege Song. After this song Mr. Eure, Chief Cheer Leader, called on Captain Hardy and other The play. “The Dust of the Road,” was presented Sunday evening by tlie Expression Department of oiir college. The curtains were slowly drawn r(^udering the interior of a living room of a comfortable and fairly prosperous middle western farm. The characters who are in the room at the time the curtains are drawn arc Prudence Steele, 'the wife, and an old nir,])., who is her uncle. The time is about one o’clock of a Sabbath morning. Prudence Steele has just turned an old Dame tramp w’ho had asked for food, from her door. The old uncle is told to go to bed; but he determines to have his say before con senting to obey the command. He accuses Prudence of being the kind of j^erson who goes to church constantly; Imt W’ho is so fixed in her adherence to her daily habits that she overlooks the little things of life which mean so uch. Prudence is reading her Bible at the time of this scene; but seem ingly she forgets that Christ said, “In s much as ye did it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto me.” The old uncle retires, and at his exit a tramp enters from the outer door. Tlfis tramp is the spirit of Judas Is cariot. We get the lesson, or moral signi- ficence of the play from the lives of the tramp. Some of them were so im pressive ing them to our own lives. Prudence Steele, and her husband, Peter Steele, it seems have been guilty of conspiracy; and the most tragic thing about is that this injustice was done to a friend. They betrayed his trust, and when he died they kept the money which he had left with them for his SOD, when this child should become of age. Peter reasons it all out; and know’ing that the child has no proof, he is tempted to do as Judas Iscariot of old, sell his soul for money. First the spirit of Judas, in the form of a tramp, talks with Prudence. He pleads with her to" follow the teachings of God and to live differently; but ap parently she is not touched by his words. Peter Steele comes into the room soon Tlie University of Richmond’s Spider web left the field at Greensboro stadium last Saturday badly in need of repair, as a result of the stubborn battle put up by the Elon Christians. With the ma- jcrity of the student body backing them, the Christians started the game W'ith success. Elon received and started off with a, flash, with “Zac” Walker leading the attack with mad daslies off tackle and around ends. For a few minutes the Spiders were getting more than they could do. Williams, Elon’s hard-driving fullback, was tearing and smashing the Sjuder line to shreds. In a few minutes the Christians had the ball on Richmond’s 12-yard line. Luck seemed against our men and they were held for downs. The Spiders realized they wore in a close place so Xevitt Sanford, the Spiders triple threat quarterback, kicked to his own 40-yard line. Again our men were un- ablcK to advance so “Smitty” got off a nice one that went outside on Rich mond's 7-yard line. In the first play Sanford, after shaking off a couple of tac-klers, sprinted 93 yards for a touch down. This seemed to take the life out of our men, but they never ceased to fight. The Christians made the Spiders be satisfied with only one touch down in the first quarter, how'ever, they got in three more in the second. Our men fought desperately in the third period, but witnessed another touch down which made the score 34-0 in favor of the Spiders. The Elon team resorted to the air in the remainder of the game and threaten ed to score several times, but failed to shove one over. All during the game the Elon student body w^as cheering the team on, hoping for a touchdown. Smith, our reliable punter, outclassed Sanford, some of his kicks going over 60 yards. In the backfield, Walker and Williams exhibited some excellent play ing, with Latham also putting up a nice game. Effird played a good game at tackle, and Watson, guard, played a steady game. Ziegler, end, was one of Elon’s shining lights in the game. members of the football squad to say a few words concerning Saturday’s Uft;er the tramp has entered. Prudence game. Several of the football men took advantage of this opportunity ta sho-w that they were not only athletes but speakers as well. They told in a few w’ords just what they wanted to accom plish in the game. . (Continued on Page 3) The Psykaleon literary society held an interesting meeting Monday evening, October 22.
