TO STUGE “SHOW OFF" Mary RaWls Jones Plays Leading Part. “There’s nothing can be done by anything, Clara,—when once the main thing is done. And' that’s the marri age. That’s where all the trouble starts—getfin ’ nmrried, ” sjiys Mrs. Fisher, her mother. The paragraph quoted above repre sents one of the predominant elements ■of the “Show Off,” the play which will be given by the Expression Depart ment of Elon College some time during November. This play was run very successfully in New York, and we feel confident tTiat It will be enjoyed like wise at Elom. The cast of the ploy is as follows: Clara Mary Rawls Jones Mrs. Fisher \irginia Harden Amy Mabel Barrett Frank Hyland Mr. Ruston Mr. FisTier Mr. Clapp Jcre D. C. Boone Aubrey Piper Mr. Gill C. Wightcnan Mr. Rogers A. Rodrigue Each on& of the players has- had con siderable experience, which assures a capable presentation. Most of us are familiar with' Miss Harden, Mr. Lowry, Mr. Enston, and Mr. Boone, who have participated in different plays here very successfully. Their ability as actresses and actors, respectively, is unquestion- , able^ and we feel certain that( this will | ^ontribiite to make the play a greater , success. ! Miss Stout, head of the department, is coaching the play. That means that t^e play will be a decided success. On Monday and Tuesday of this week Miss Brown and Prof. A’elie conductel chapel services. Both of these faculty members appeared for the. first time this year as leaders of the chapel ser vice. Miss Brown spoke on Monday on “An Apprecia^O’* Life.” “So many times we are so near the good things of life that we cannot appreciate tliem, ” declared Miss Brown. We are like the little boy w’ho longed to visit house which stood on a neighboring l ill, and whicli seemed to him, because of tJie reflection of the setting sun, to have golden w’iudows. He was disap pointed when, after he reached the house one day, he saw* that the windows were just plain glass. Turning tow'ard his ow^n home he saw that it had beau tiful golden windows. Not many of us are as appreciative as we might be, nor do we show i^ as much as we could. Like little Pippa, we need to forget our cares occasionally and sing; “God’s in His Heaven All’s right with the world.” Professor Yelie, head of tlie Music Conservatory, told the story of Alex ander Yon Skibinsky, the great Russian violinist. Skibinsky spent many years in felie United States as a concert artist. He was a good sport and one day dur ing Christmas he was celebrating with five works. Through chance he bought a giant fire-cracker, the shopkeeper who sold it to him thinking it was a Roman candle. When the lire-cracker was lighted the left hand of Skibinsky v»’as seriouslv injured. Doctors told him that it would have to be amputated. He refused *-o’ iiave an operation, declar ing that he was going to play the violin again. To humor him the doc- ^ tors patched his hand up as bes^ as they , could under Skibinsky's own direction. Then he went to New York to a fac- toTv and asked to have an index finger made for his left hand in order that he might play the violin. The people thought he was crazy and made no attempt to make a finger for him. He gained permission to enter the factory and finally made a finger that he could use, crude though it was. Then he began work with the violin again. It was necessary for him to learn an en tirely new technique. He practiced long and untiringly until he became a grea^ artist again. Prof. Yelie played with Mr. Skibinsky fox two seasons on concert tours. He stated that he had worked with Mr. Skibinsky quite a while before he knew of his handicap because Mr. Skibinsky made no apolo gies to his audience nor was his handi cap generally known. INTERCOLLEGHTE FORENSIC ASSOCIATIOIf MEETS AT ELON H. George Robertson Elected President. The North Carolina Intercollegiate Forensic Association met in the “ Y. W. ” Saturday morning. Representa tives from five institutions were present. Dr. W. A. Harper opened the meeting with an address of welcome. Dr. Keiser of Lenoir-Rhyne responded to the w’el- come, after wdiicli H. G. Robertson of Elon College was elected president of the association for the co'ming year. Mr. Patrick of G-uilford was elected vice-president, and Dr. Keisler was re elected secretary-treasurer. The asso ciation then proceeded witli its busi ness. A number of revisions of the consti tution were recommended and adopted. It was voted to give as an additional prize beside the medals fox the Orator ical Contest, a handsome loving cup to the institution whose representative I wins the contest, the cup to rotate in possession until one institution has w'on it three times when it w’ill become the j)ermanent possession of that institu tion. Membership fees and girls de bates were discussed, and a tentative schedule of debates arranged for next S])ring. The queries for the debates for tliis year w'ere decided upon, *.wo for the men and one for the girls. The session was adjourned at 3:45 with a feeling on the ]Kirt of all present that the outlook for the oratorical con test anl debates for this year is pro'mis- ing. BOW BEFORE GUILFDRO Guilford's Touchdown Gained In First Quarter. Zac Walker Stars For Christians. HEEBERT HOOVER Efpublican Nominee Tor President OR, W. S. ALEXANDER PREACHES FINE SERMON Speaks On Christian Citizenship. He Implores Voters to Spend Much Time In Prayer Before Casting Their Votes. MISS STOUT RETURNS On Fridny eveinii^, Oftol'er 26, Miss Jeanette Stont, Jiead of the expression department at Elon College, had the privilege of fill ing one of the aijpointmeiits, of the series of entertainments which are V)eiiig given at Chowan College, Murfreesboro, N. ('. Miss Stout gave n three-act play, “The Show Off,” by George Kelly. It was given in a very pleasing manner and was greatly enjoyed by the audieiiee. Immediately after the program a, receptiorr was given in honor | of Miss Stout. j MAROON AND GOLD AWARDS FOUR PRIZES The Maroon and Gold staff awarded prizes to tlie winners i)i the subscrip tion congest which ended on October 25. First prize wont to Daniel Boone and Clyde Foushee. These prizes were two $23.00 suits given by Boseinbloom’s Men’s Shop and B. A. Sellars and Sons. Tlie second prizes were awarded Eva Sykes and Palmer Barrett. They were twoi pairs of $10.00 shoes given by Fos ter's Shoe Store and Mebane Shoe Store. The Maroon and Gold staff appreciate the interes*( of these four Burlington concerns that made the subscription contest possible. Dr. W. S. Alexander, pastor of the College CInnch, preached an appropri ate and insi)iring sermon hero Sunday morning on “Christian Citizenship.” T)r. Alexander began his sermon by stating that Christian citizenship was iletennined by the acts of the individual latlier than the great mass of hurnan- ity. While his talk was far removed from a political sermon, he discussed the inipoTtance of the individual ’s right to vote. But he did not magnify the planks in one candidate’s platform and belittle the plaaks in another’s. He did not tell the congregation how they should cast their votes on November the Ctli, but he implored them to spend much time in fervent }H'ayer, asking that the will of our Heavenly Father niiglit be done, and that tlie chosen leader of the American people might obtain his ottiee as a result of the fer vent prayers of the Christian people. If the political preacliers who, for the past few' months liave been preach ing high powered political sermons and holding up man-made’ creeds as a sal vation for men, would resort to Dr. Alexander’s plan of persuading people to come to their conclusions after spend ing much time in prayer, there would be far more accomplished for American civilization, and fewer revivals needed after the election to get things back together. Elon's Fighting Christians lost their most importan*' game of the season last Saturday to Guilford Quakers. Our leam and the entire student body were hoping for this game to be a victo'ry for Klon. The team showed some real light, and the student| body gave their support all during the game. Tlie game* started w'ith Elon leading. Walker. Elon’s quarterback, began with some excellent runs. In the second play ‘‘Zac'- slipped away for a 25-yard gain around left enl, and in the next play carried the ball for ano*])ier nice little gain of 13 yards. Guilford’s only touchdown came iu the latter part of the first quarter, when Smith kicked from his 30-yard line, the ball going outside on the 50-yard line. With Cox and Mooro carrying ^|)ie ball on a series of line plunges, Guilford stead ilv marched down the lield until Moore carried the ball over for a touch down. Cheek kicked for the extra point giving Guilford 7—Elon 0. During the remaining three quarters neither team was able to score, although Elon Ijhreatened several times, but lack ed the drive to put one over. The Guil ford team show^ed good interference, which gave them the edge over our men to a great extent. On the Elon offensive, “Zac” Walker proved outstanding, with Williams, Latham and, Clark looking good on de fensive. “Speck” Siievenson and “Shug” Merritt were unable to play the entire game on account of some serious injuries received in previous games, but we hope to hear from these men in the High Point game here next Saturday. We are still expecting a vic tory and are looking forward V Sat- (Continued on Page 4) PSIPHELIAN-PSyKALEUN SCHEDULE DEBATE The Psykaleons and Psiphelians are anxiously looking forward to their inter- society debate which will take place November 16.
