CURTAIN! 1928 Father time will soon mow another fleeting- year from the an nals of history. The policies of this paper have been very limited in realizing any vain-glorious achievement. There could be some crticism offered, but who cares about that. The restive spirit dis played will be attacked with more fury after the holidays; then maybe the stone wall of o])position will finally crumble. 'I'he financial status of the paper is on a par with other college publications, as if that means anything. .After the holidays, the paper will be mailed out to any one paying one dollar, a buck, in advance. HERE’S HOPING THAT EVERYBODY HAS A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! OUR STRONG MEN In speakirtg of athletes, it might be said, that mentally and physically they are leaders on the campus. They are trained men, trained to control their tempers and appetites. The “King of Sports” has been reigning supreme for the past three months, only to have father time sound taps and usher in the “Queen of Sports’’ for a brief flashing visit. It isn’t with sad ness that the old mud smeared cleats are heaped up in the corner. This life is always looking forward for new advertisements, and next conies Basketball. One writer states, “With the coming of basketball, come new rules which authorities deem necessary for the betterment of the game." He also stated, “A contest between plays that will use lip stick between fouls and beg each other’s pardon when the other's toe is step]ied on.’’ This year bring's two noticeably important changes before us. The first is the dribbling play wdiich places greater responsibility on the player with the ball. In the past, the offensive player charging down the floor would not have a foul called on him, but the defensive man would be penalized for charging. The new rule seems to treat the matter just opposite. The player with the ball must dodge his adversary, or be penalized himself. The second change is one con cerning freezing the ball in closing minutes of play. The referee may declare a held ball if an opponent is within a yard of him and the ball is not in play. This rule will serve to speed up the game in the final moments and give the losing side a chance to win. W’ith these two exceptions, the “Queen of Sports’’ will carry on as in the past. So warm up—you basketball fiends, for next Satur- daj- night old Elon and the Raleigh Y. M. C. open the basket season on the Hill. SUPREMACY IN JOURNALISM BY CLASSES Each year the Maroon and Gold Staff has set aside four issues of the college paper to be edited and managed by the different classes. That time is drawing near. The first issue to come oft' the press after the holidays will be dedicated, edited, and managed by the Senior Class. The other classes will take charge each succeeding week. January loth will be the date for the Senior issue : January 17th for the Junior issue ; January 24th for the Sophomore issue : January 31st for the Freshmen issue. The central idea in this contest is to test the initiative and cap ability of the classes by groups. A copy of each publication will be sent to three editors of prominent dailies of this state for their decision as to the best paper. In this manner, the future new'spaper staff will be chosen.

Black, of Burlington, N, c Mr. Black, who has been in the hosiery business for a considerable length of time, gave a very interesting iliscnj. sion of the marketing side of the busi ness. TIo made many outstanding re marks, anil presented some concrete illustrations concerning the markotiiig of hosieries. Sir. D. R. Fouviile, of Burlington, N. C., who is a trustee of this institu tion, will speak to the members of the Economics Club on Friday afternoon at 4:.S0. His speech will be on some phase of the Real Estate business; so if you want to learn something which will con stitute ail asset to' you, cmiie to the meeting. Every one is cordially invited to attend by the students of BusineBi Administration, as well as by Prof. Tower, the head of the department.

M.” Scribbled on the margin of the Bulletin were these words. X-Ray Sermon In onr days of our childish wonder- n:cnt, Christmas was a time of beauti- I'ul secrets. There w'as the myste-y of Santa Glaas and his marvelous ahi'ity to drive his reindeers all over the worVl, even making his sleigli jmiip way up on top of the houses. How did he do it?

With the passing years, we have lost some of the halo that used to >'urround Christmas.

We have to prepare goodies for our friends and have to eat sweets enough to give us a week of headaches and drowsy bad fee'ings. Rut. To we wise grown-ups really know aU about Christmas? Do we know what it means? Does it mean a season of nonsense and rowdyism like the Saturnalia w'hich the Romans us:-1 to celebrate at this season? Does '■ mean the giving of the world a true Knight Sans Peur, Sans Reproche. whos.> Sjii.it in the lives of men is still bat tling with all the evi'.s that still keep nen in suffering and bondage? Does it mean the giving to the world a now" '■leal of service that will persist till ill men have life and have it more abundantly? Doe it mean giving to • cu a new and beautiful kinship w'ith the Divine, a right to the friendship of the Infinite? Does it mean the awakening of an angelic song which is still echoing in the hearts of men—in your heart? Yes, for us grown-up children the i^hristmas season still has its strange and beautiful secrets. Shall we learn some of these secrets this year—or w'ill our time be too much filled with the commonplace to give us a chance to bow’^ with the Judean shepherds in reverence and wonder because of the uncomprehended gift that is given to menf - If you haven't fallen out with youv girl by now, it’s high time you were doing so. It's so easy to fling an angr^’ epcLl and get all cut of sorts until after ti e holidays. That speaks W'e!l for the unlin:ited bank roll.

THE WORST IS YET TO COME! CHEER UP! (Continued from Page 1) Tale of Two Cities happened when Guillotine w’as king of France.” Or again, what a jar to his equilibrium must have resulted when in answer to the question, ‘‘Were you interested, and l>y the title ‘Silas itarner’ he read, a girl’s answer, “Yes, I was in terested veiw mucli; for it showed that the story 'was about a man.” This has given us an excellent start. But this is not a time for hesitation. Paul Rakestraw has his Melancholy Club in fine trim. Prognosticators have niapped out the jn’obable strategy of the enemy, and Sister Stanfield and Walter Brill, our hot-air specialists, have their tanks at full pressure. Euodias Kiiight is ready to shoot a terrible line, and many other students have asserted that their quantity of in- formation is “so hot" that it will “knock the profs cold.’’ So, friend faculty-member, though you should take as your motto, “Thou shalt not pass,” we still carry with us a robust suspicion that some of us “will gel jby. ” Though the English department W'hct up its iambic hexameter, though the physics depar^ment bring out its strongest physic, though the chemistry department bombard us with chlorinc gas (that is a line in which we’ll show you something new'), though the biolog}' department talk about platy* hel-minthes and other things that sound like bad words, though the philosophy department ask us “to un* screw the inscrutible, ’ ’—for all these things w'o w’ish you to believe we are fully prepared. You don't need to waste your time tr^nng to stay awake at night trying to think up questions to trip us. It is absolutely useless. And now, fellow-students, don’t you think it would be w’ell for us to or ganize a scoicty for the prevention of cnielty to “dumb animals”? If so, meet me at 12:00 P.

There is a great enthusiasm in the part of the members of the society thT8 year. One rejoices upon seeing how well and successfully the pro’grams are carried out at every regular meeting of the society. There is a splendid spirit of co operation prevailing in the society at the present time, and we hope that thw^l^jiurit will be perpetuated by the i: * '^of the society.
