C. A. hall. The wild March winds were on a rampage out-side and were playing their weird tunes; but in the banquet hall all was cheerful and cozy and every one was joyous and happy. And who wouldn’t be? With things so enticing to the eyes, ears, and months nnd— well, what more could be desired to make a jocund company? Old friends, new friends, sweethearts, husbands and wives, all were there to make the occa sion a success. The program * rendered was remark able for both its quality and unique ness. Practically all toasts and sponscs were witty and humorous to the nth degree, with the result that all faces tliat might have appeared long or lopsided changed permanently to a beauteous aspect. The fact is, every cne came for a general good time am that’s what was found. Mr. J. B. Brown was the able toast master of the occasion and gave a mos hearty welcome to those present. His wife, Mrs. Florence Brown, responded and then the whole assembly got away witli some eats. Mr. Clyde C. Foushet then gave one of the most original and astonishing toasts ever heard of, to which Miss Mildred Odelle Tavlor re sponded in the same symbolic term. More eats—then Miss Lucy Boone’s enchanting vo’cal solo. Mr. D. W. Shep herd then gave his toast to the faculty, but it was “rejected” by Prof. A. B. Van Cleave. The Harmony Hounds, (one of them really being a Shepherd (H. S.), while the others there had no familiar classi fication but were technically known as Laxton, Benton and Andrews) next did their yelping and were cheered on to more growling and barking by the crowd. Herman Truitt, still had enough brute strength to arise; so he did and gave a toast to the Old Members, to which Mr. F. L. Gibbs responded. Mr. A. W. Laxton, of Harmony Hounds fame- next rendered a most beautiful violin solo. Then Mr. T. G. Andrews, also of the original Harmony Hounds, said “Adois;” and thus ended the formalities of a most enjoyable evening. Active members and their guests: E. G. Davis, Miss Mabel Holt; Janies B.

STHTE-llillOE FORENSIC CON TEST TO BE HEIO HERE BUTH MARY ENSMINGEE VISITS ELON COLLEGE A new Elonite now graces the campus of our beloved sehocl, or will grace the campua before many days. The new member who has entered into our fold is a tiny little Miss by the name of Euth Mary Ensminger. The proud par ents of the little girl are—yes, you’ve guessed it right— none other than Pro fessor and Mrs. Ensminger, two very active and well-known peraoiiages to all of us who class ourselves as Elon students, teachers, or what-nots. As she is a girl we can not predict a successful football career for her on the Elon teams of the future, but we are expecting her to become a popular member in the affairs of the Wes*. Dormitory in a few years. Welcome to our campus, Ruth Mary, and may your face become a familiar one to us. Elon is proud to have you as its newest member. ECONOMICS CL06 ilOS ^ m INTERESTING MEETING Last Friday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock three members o’f the Economics Club made very interesting talks to the Club. Lenard Doster, the first speaker, used as his topic, “Big Business in Ages Past.” Doster had well prepared his talk, and gave to the Club several good exanqiles of Big Business in Ages long past, such as the building of the Pyramids. He proved that Big Busi ness is not just beginning, as many people think. Next was Zac Walker, who spoke on the topic, ‘ ‘ Birmingliam, Alabama, and the Manufacture of Steel.” Zac had outlined his talk unusually well, show ing he had spent much time in prepara tion and that he was well acquainted with the manufacturing of steel from experience. He gave the History of Birmingham from it-s early beginning, attributing its rapid growth to the steel industry. He explained carefully step by step the manufacturing of steel froui the time the ore is mined out of the n>ouutains until it is loaded on cars for the market. It was decidely one of the best student talks of the year. We are sorry that every member of the Club was not there to hear it. Lockhart used as his topic, “Amaz ing Years Ahead.” He proved by ex- ■ mple that there is much to look for ward to in the future from inventions being made and to be made in years coming. FRENCH CLOB HOLDS REGULAR MEETING Seating themselves in a theater to see moving pictures, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Birmingham, of Providence, R I., found their long lost son, Leroy, smiling down at them from the screen. The boy left home when he was 13 to join a circus. He will return to hia parents after completion of a picture in which he is now working. “Pigeon Vole” was the question that was asked all who were present at the weekly meeting of the Trench Club in the Y. W. C. A. Tuewlay afternoon. The meeting was called to order at 4:30 by the secretary. Miss Rebecca Taylor. Tlie roll was called and the minutes of the last meeting read. Sev eral matters of business were discus sed. Professor Guillet read all of the programs for the next eight weeks and urged all of the members who could not take part in the programs to either get a substitute or notify him in due time. Miss Margaret Lineberger was elected to the office of vice-president by acclamation. A new song, ‘ ‘ A la Claire Fontaine, ’ was sung very successfully by the mem bers of the club. Then the club sang “Vive L’Americaine,” a song which was learned at the last meeting, and noted the improvement that had been made. An interesting saynette was rendered by several of the members. The saynette displayed the manner in which a French man makes various purchases in the French stores. After this a game, “ Pigeon Vole, ’ ’ which test ed everv one’s knowledge of the names of the various French birds was played. Those French students who are at tending these meetings are not only having an enjoyable time but they arc learning things about the French langu age that are of great value to them in the study of French. Any student in French is eligible to membership in this club and is urged to join. Weekly meetings are held each Tuesday at 4:30 in the Y. W. C. A. The State-Widc Forensic Contest will be held at Elon April 5th. This contest heretofore has attracted much interest among the leading colleges of the state. Last year tliis contest was lield ajt Davidson. This year we are fortunate in having it held at Elon. Mr. George H. Robertson is President of the Association, It is a fact that the students of Elon have not shown due interest to this event in the past. Now, that this is to be an affair at our own college, every student should support the representa tives as he would the players on our athletic team. The average student seems to have oninio’,1 tliat nn pvent O'f this nature is not worth participating in. Tliat student is like the fellow who has not yet discovered himself as being in col lege. No matter what lino of work you are going to pursue you will be handi capped unless you are able to express yourself in words. Then, in what way can we obtain this ajbility other than practicing such? Let us take an in terest, students, and try to help build up our school by taking part in more of the literary activities. The preliminaries for this contest will be held soon and every student that is interested is urged to take part. (By Euodias F. Knight) The four Fraternities and the four Sororities that compose the Social Clubs at Elon,.play an important role in col lege life. Each club is an aid to its mem bers and is necessary to complete the rogulary college course. They stimu late higher scholastic training, because they require high scholastic achieve ment before membership can be attain ed. They create co-operative fellow ship and service among the Alumni, faculty, and students. They act as magnetic poles to hold the interest and affection of the Alumni, for they look to their clubs as a home to return to. Each year there is a climax in the social club life that occurs between Jan uary and April. This is the banqueting time for the respective clubs. These banquets offer great social advance ment in college life. Tliey are club re unions that brijig the Alumni, faculty, and students together for a great feast and a renewal of old friendships. Elon Sends Delegation to Presidential Inauguration Loessi and Cagle returned from the Presidential Inauguration with a favor able report. They were highly pleased with the actions of the new President. Cagle’s report: “Wiile in private con ference with the president, he said: ‘Mr. Cagle, I will .-[ppoint you on my cabinet if you will accept the position.’ Of course, I refused by answering— ‘ Thank you for the offer, Mr. Presi dent; bat it is impossible for me to ac cept, for I’m only a Freshman at Elon College, and had rather finish my col lege course before I launch out into' the political world.’ ” Loessi’s report: President Hoover: Mr. Loessi, if you will give me your address I will gladly accept you as a member of my cabinet, if I ever need you.’ ‘Thank you, Mr. Hoover, I had better travel back to the ‘Sunny South’ where I can feel at home;’ and here we are.” OR. ALEIUINDER DELIVERS “Vital Characteristics of Missions” was the theme on which the College Pastor, Dr. ;Alexander, spoke on Sunday morning. Sunday was set aside by the Cliristian Church as Mission Sunday. All the churches in the denomination were asked to consider Missions on March tenth. The pastor gave a very interesting talk on that subject. During the dis course he emphasized the importance of Missions and our duty to those out side of Christianity. The Holy Communion service was ob served at the close of the sermon. Fit ting in with the spirit of the service Mrs. W. A. Harper rendered a very beautiful soprano solo entitled, ‘ ‘ Savi our, Hear Us When We Pray“—by Strickland. The services were very inspiring to all in attendance, and the congregation sang, “Blest Be The Tie That Binds” as the closing hymn. PSIPHELIAN LITEBAHy SOCIETY HOLOS MEETING The Psiphelian Literary So-ciety met Thursday evening, March 7th, with a very good attendance. This society is doing good work and the members are planning great things for the future. A very interesting program waa rend ered. Miss Velma O’Connell gave a read ing. Miss Doris McIntyre discussed briefly her reasons for joining the Psi* phelian Literary Society, after which Miss Melba Grogan interpreted a very impressive poem, “Mother.” Miss Lillian Foust gave several points on the subject, “What Psiphelian Means To Me.” The judges for the evening decided in favor of Miss Doris Mc Intyre, as best on the program. Drunken cows cavirting about a field in Essex, Mass., led to the arrest ai John Miller on a charge of manufactur ing moonshine. A Georgia man, taken up for an air plane ride, lost his speech in the air and has not recovered it. Wonder what it would cost to take some of our po-li- ticians up? The persistent ringing of a door-bell aroused the members of a family in Holyoke, Mass., and averted what might have been a disastrous fire. Defective wires in the cellar had caused the blaze, which in turn made a the short circuit that rang the bell. ELON INDUSTRIAL MANAGE MENT CLASS VISITS VICK’S CHEMICAL CO., OF GREENSBORO Vick’s Chemical Company of Greens boro was a gracious host to the Indus trial Management Class of Elon College last Monday afternoon, March 12. The class was shown over the entire plant, and all the different phases of manufacture were explained. One of the most notable features of the plant was its club house. The Vick’s Club house is equipped _ with everything necessary to make the workers happy and contented in their vocation. The class had the pleasure of seeing one of the largest and best equipped plants of its kind in the world. It can readily be seen why Vick’s Vapo Rub is one of the most popular patent medicines on the market today.
