NEW YEAR’S THOUGHTS
“Hats off to the past, coats off to the
future. ’ ’
“I’m always quarrelling with time.
It is so short to do anything but so
long to do nothing.
“To make new mistakes is human;
to repeat old mistakes is stupid.
Men are smoking less and eating
more candy, women are smoking more
and eating less candy, according to
official reports at the Confectioner’s
Exhibition in Hull, Eng.
All Kinds of Banquet Needs

estaibliehed. This is a compliment to
the present Freshman class. Hard
work brings good grades, and a large
per cent of the Freshman class made
good grades. Fraternities and sorori
ties mean a great deal to the life of
the students here. Friendships and as
sociations are formed in this way that
last for life.

ELON OPENS JANUARY
THIRD—NO EXAMS
(Continued from Page 1)
Examinations, the chief stronghold of
the professors to smouldering ruins.
And to strengthen this contention it is
only just to say that the season was
“right” for an extremely destructive
gas attack.
Victory Ahead!
January 3, 1929, marks a possible
turning point in the war, for on that
date hostilities were resumed more
vigorously. But for a brief while the
enemy held its lines stoutly and it was
difficult to gain a decided advantage
over him. On the afternoon of that
date he even started, a general advance
along the entire front. But then the
tide turned.
The League of Nations!
The Commander-in-Chief, directing
the enemy’s attack, observed that his
ammunition was almost exhausted.
Speedily inspecting the works of fort
Examinations, he found them in a de
plorable condition. One-half of the fort
had already been utterly destroyed and
the remaining half was so exposed to
shell-fire and to the gas attacks of the
students as to render it useless. Upon
seeing this he immediately held, a con
ference with all division commanders
and administrators with a view to
giving up the worthless fort. A de
cision was reached: “Further expen
ditures of time, money, and energy in
the struggle for Fort Examinations is
uLwise; besides it is the enemy’s prop
erty and we mUst admit that we are
in the wroDg ^bout it. The fort must
be abandoned!” Immediately follow
ing this important decision the students
received the surrender of the ruined
fort with exceeding great joy and
shouts of triumph.
No Conglaration!
The war has had no great effect up
on the daily duties of the students.
When they went home on their fur
loughs there were those in authority
who firmly believed that many a husky
would desert the army or would fail
to report for action. But such an idea
has been proven to be wholly erroneous.
True a few of the veterans did not re
turn but in their place a regiment of
fresh troops entered the ranks with the
result that the war is now being
desperately prosecuted.
Traditional Smashing!
Enthusiasm is great, at the present
time, and every one is happy—espe
cially the girls. It is true that during
the holidays, when the furloughs were
granted, that some of them quarreled
and quit, or returned with gas masks
(frowns) on. But the vast majority
was affected differently—quite differ
ently. For there were those who re
turned wearing diamonds—and smiles
were everywhere. Some said, “Yes”
to a certain interrogation while others
flatly refused and ejaculated “No!”
Honor to Whom Honor Is Du©!
Who did it—^who- did it? Let us find
out for certainly he is worthy of all
honor. Millions of toasts have been
proposed to the originator of the idea
—to him who through his wonderful
eloquence and convincing power has
“done and eliminated those examina
tions. Why not have a banquet in his
honor and invite all living creatures?
Better get the spirit, “gang”, for
verily I say unto you it will be more
tolerable for Sodom and GomoTrah in
the last days than for him who is a
victim of those awful exaras.
TO THE NEW PEN PUSHERS
Faithful are the wounds
of a friend; but the kisses
of an enemy are profuse.
(Prov. xxii, 6).
A surgeon inflicts wounds that he
may restore the health of his patient
to its former soundness and integrity.
A true friend inflicts wounds that his
friend may be free from the blemishes
that render character ugly and person
ality imperfect. He who presumes to
be a friend and never cuts into some
spot in his friend’s life that festers
with deadly poison is not a genuine
friend, but merely a pretender.
“Faithful are the wounds of a
friend.” Just aa-'true today is that
ancient observation as it was centuries
ago. We are first wounded then healed
and made whole by the tender, yet firm,
knives in the hands of our friends.
They excise our haughty pride, empty
vanity, ridiculous theories, silly mo
tions, vain conceits, presumptuous
cocksureness, beloved egotism, and all
of the unlovely traits that blemish our
lives and character—if we will humbly
submit to their surgical processes.
As true friends to the new fraternity
and sorority members we wish to per
form our first operation. First, we
want to congratulate you upon your
scholastic ability and traits of char
acter that mad.e possible your entrance
into a social club. We also wish to
tell you that you are no better than
your neighbor who was not eligible to
become a member, or who didn’t get
a bid; and that you are not entitled to
special rights not given to every other
student on the campus. People are
watching you and you should guard
against snobbishness.
Remember that you are no better
than other students! !
Your fraternity brothers and sorority
sisters, if they are your true friends,
will inflict on you many wounds, but
if you are the genuine ladies and gen
tlemen that we believe you are, you
v/ill submit to your operation without
a whimper and will gladly suffer the
wounds in order to- be made whole.
The Master was a friend, the Supreme
friend of man. He inspired the author
of the words, “faithful are the wounds
of a friend,” and hopeless indeed is
he who chafes under the keen knife in
the hands of friends. We are trusting
that your club will give you many suc
cessful operations, and that in the end
you will be made WHOLE.
