Last week in the High Point game he strutted his ‘ ‘ Onions. ’ ’ Our team is boosted a great deal by the presence of “Hans” in the line-up. “Go, get Guilford. ’ ’ YOUNG PREACHERS CONDUCT SERVICES AT NEARBY CHURCHES ELONITES HEAR UNI VERSITY GLEE CLUB “A Christian’s Life” was the sub ject discussed by the Ministerial Asso ciation Sunday morning at the eleven o’clock service of the Providence Mem orial Christian Church of Graham. Walton E. Brill presided at this ser vice, and the program was well carried out. The Scripture was taken from llonians Twelve. The first speaker, B. Paul Rakestraw, gave a very interesting talk on “Chris tian Happiness.” He stressed the idea that a Christian should be very happy. “Some people think that in order to be a Christian yo'u have to give up happiness. Not so; Christ intends for you and me to be happy.” Mr. Rake- straw endeavored to show that many painters and artists have had the wrong conception of Christ for ages The pictures they have painted liave done Him an injustice. A man who spoke such cheerful words as did Christ could never have been anything but happy. “Christian Strength” was well cov ered by Mr. Numa Franks. He handled his subject with skill and pointed out why this “strength” was necessary for every Christian. He cited examples of men who had not taken their strength from Christ. “Their lives w^ere fail ures.’^ He also pointed out examples of lives who had taken their strength from the “Mighty Savior;” and in ■every case their lives had been much more fruitful to the world and to hn- manity than the ones who failed to ac cept this strength. This was Mr. Franks’ first speech with the Minis terial Asso'ciation. He promises to be a valuable addition to the Ministerial Association. J. Howard Smith was the concluding speaker. His topic was “Christian Service.” He clearly showed that “Service” was one of the great essen tials of a Christian’s life. He urged every one to try to make Christianity a reality rather than an ideal. “Many people support the church but never help those in trouble. What about you? Da you ever give a cup of water in the Master’s Name? 'Faith, with out works is dead.’ Live your re ligion.’ ” He quoted former President Harding (Continued on Page 2) Last Sunday afternoon a merry party consisting of Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Ring, Viola Worslcy, Jewell Prcsncll, Sue Paine, Paul Magee, Mrs. A. L. Hook, Mrs. Riheldaffor, and Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Velie motored to Chapel Hill to hear the first concert of the year given by the TTniversHy Men’s GlPe Club. This concert w'as given at four o’clock in Memorial Hall. The Glee Club consists of twenty-six young men, the accompanist, Mr. Nel son Kennedy, and the director, Harold Sheldon I)yer. Their program was ex cellent. The accompanist played tw'o groups of solos, and a violinist also played three numbers. The entire con cert was so enjoyable that the Elonites felt it quite w’orth the trip to Chapel Hill. LOOK OUT ‘LITTLE SIX’ CHAMPIONSHIP! The highly-touted Purple Panthers from High Point received a severe shock on Saturday, last, at the hands of the high-flying Fightin’ Christians of Elon College. The shock was two fold, as it marked their first defeat by Christian eleven and also shattered their hopes of grabbing the “Little Six” title for their second consecutive time. The game put our lads well on the road to the title held by the Point ers in 1929. Elon now has only Guil ford and Lenoir-Rhyne to spill for a clean slate and the unquestioned right to fly the “Little Six” pennant from the flag pole (?) at the athletic field of this institution. And judging by comparative scores, the Quakers and the Bears have little chance of stop ping the strong gridiron machine which Coach Walker has assembled. But getting back to the old ball game, it was a gala affair with quite a bit of color attached to it. About half the Elon cheering section was full of students and other rooters who had made the journey to see their favorites trample the High Point hopefuls in the dust of their own ground. A much larger group of home folks in the Pointer bleachers were pulling with all their might to the very last in hopes of a triumph for the Purple Panther. The score was 14-7—just the differ ence of one touchdown; but the score hardly indicates the superiority of the Christian team, as it was apparent from the outset that the visitors had the better aggregation of pigskin hustlers. The Purple kicked off to the Maroon, and the Purple never secured i)0‘ssession of the pigskin ujilII the Maroon had shoved over a touchdown by the sheer (Continued on Pa^e 3) HERBERT GOULD FEATURES OPENING NUMBER OF SEASON’S CONCERT COURSE FOSTER HUGHES ‘ ‘Foster’ ’ Hughes is our ole versatile guard.

NOTICE! NOTICE! The Clio Literary Society form ally accepts with the greatest of pleasure the challenge to debate issued by the Philologian Liter ary Society. MRS. HARPER ENTER TAINS B. 0. B.’S Honoring Mme. Riheldaffer, The New Honorary Member. TO APPEAR NOVEMBER 8TH The first number of this year’s con cert course is to be presented in Whit ley Auditorium, Friday night, Novem ber 8. Herbert Gould, celebrated basso- cantaute, is to be the entertainer. He comes to Elon well recommended by both press and critic. Herbert Gould was reared in Min nesota, and began his vocal training as a boy in school. He has had five years of extensive study, and has ap peared on the concert stage many times. He has been connected with the Chicago Civic Opera Company and the Zoo Garden Opera Company. He this year, w'ith the Philadelphia Civic Opera Company. He has appear ed with some of the leading symphonies and orchestras. The leading newspap ers of the country have lauded Mr. Gould greatly. Elon is very fortunate in having secured such a talented and celebrated artist for the opening of the season’s concert course. CLIOS ELECT OFFICERS FOR COMING TERM Miss Sue Raine clearly demonstrated by her chapel talk of last Friday morn ing that she is of a philosophic mind. Miss Raine gave a very personal ap peal that college students should at tempt to raise the standards of their a])preciatioJi. Many students, she said, go through a four year college course and do well in grades but miserably fail in learning to appreciate that which is good. Culture is the act of improving or developing by education and discipline, a refining j^rocess, and it is in college that one has an opportunity to develop culture. There’s nothing wrong with good music or good literature merely because it fails to interest us. The trouble is ourselves. We need to learn to think, to appreciate, to see the good in everything. In order that the members of the student body may better understand the Clio Literary Society we wish to mention the officers that were elected on Tuesday night, October 22: President, Delos Elder; vice-presi dent, Robert Boyd; secretary, Robert Morphis; censor, Jack Chandler; first critic, Daniel Boone; second critic, T. R. Benton. The Clios also elected three debaters for the inter-society debate who they believe will ably represent the society. The three are: Roy Richardson, Ralph Johnson, and J. C. Gresham. The so ciety has faith in these men and feels sure that they will jirove worthy de fenders of her honor. PHILOLOGIANS HOLD STATE PROGRAM The Psiphelian Literary Society held its regular meeting in the society hall, Thursday evening, October 17, 1929, at 7:30 o’clock. The program rendered at this time was different from the preceed- ing ones, in that it was in the form of a t)lay. The characters in the play person ified various members of the faculty. The characters were: Alma Faucette as Mrs, Corboy, Lilian Foust as Miss Savage rannie McIntyre as Miss Raine, La Rue Brann as Miss Chandler, Martha Netherly as Mrs. Edwards and Ella Garrett as Mrs. Riheldaffer. The play was very well carried out and it was eajoyed by every one present. The judges decided that Miss Faucette was the best on the program. On Friday evening, October 18, at 8:00 o’clock, Mrs. W. A. Harper enter tained the B. O. B. Sorority at her home in honor of Mme. Grace Hall Riheld affer, the new honorary member. As the guests entered they were presented with a Hallowe’en cap and horn by Mrs. George D. Colclough.

Riheldaffer sang “Lad O Mine,” “Memories” and “If I Were the Wind.” The first and third numbers are dedicated to Mme. Riheld- fffer. A delicious salad course was served, pitality w'ere: Mme.

Haven’t decided just what we’ll do yet. but it’ll be something even if we have to get the old lady’.= whiskers. Talk o’ your spooks! Well there’ll be plenty. And you can bet your last dime on that. Just a minute. Don’t get your ticket for next week, and watch Maroon and Gold for further announce ment. On next Sunday night, the Life Re cruit Band will present a one-act play entitled “Larola.” In the play, there is portrayed in beautiful language, the question of Caste in India. The set ting is a missionary’s home in Palinaw, India. The missionaries, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dorgctt (Mr. E. E. Kipka and Miss Adna Lnne Bruton) have one ser vant, Nanok (Elijah Jones) in the house. A Hindu girl, Mama (Ruth Bateson) has been infiuenced by them and she has become a Christian. To them she has also brought her friends Lela (Cornelia Troxler) and Larola (Estelle Williams), so that they, too, could learn of the Christ. If these girls followed Christ they become as dead to their family and their caste. Larola tells of her choice between her hus band and her caste, and how she suf fered to become a Christian. There is another Hindu who has broken the caste and has become a Christian. He is Prof. Bender Sen (Mr. J. C. Gres ham) who is a professor in one of the Hindu universities and who, at this time, was also the guest of Mr. Dog- gett. Miss Jeanette Stout is coaching the play, and the pupils of the Art De partment are designing the costumes. Glasgow has a wave of auto fatalities. Colombia has ordered three gunboats to be built in Scotland. The program that was rendered in the Philologian Literary Society last Wednesday night was one of especial interest. The central theme of the en tire program was “North Carolina” or ‘My Home State.” The first speaker on the program was Mr. W. G. Lewis who discussed the subject, “What Tobacco Has Done For North Caro-lina. ” Mr. Lewis gave an excellent survey of the great value that tobacco has been and is to citizens of this State. He also emphasized the importance of proper attention in the growth of tobacco and told us some thing of the process of tobacco cul ture. Follow'ing Mr. Lewis, Mr. W. L. Register spoke on “The Educational Opportunities of North Carolina.” Mr. Register’s talk showed a large amount of preparation and careful observation of conditio'ns in North Carolina Educa tion. He first discussed the problem of education in the rural sections of the State, showing the need of better schools and better prepared teachers. Then he took up the subject of higher education. Here he told of the large number of colleges located within the State and the service which they are rendering. Mr. G. O. Mann discussed the sub ject, “Agriculture vs Industrialism.” Mr. Mann pointed out quite clearly the tendency toward industry as contrasted with the great interest shown in agri culture a few years ago. This speaker mentioned some of the industrial cent ers of the State and explained why they had become such. All of this in formation was interesting and en lightening to all present. The next speaker was Mr. F. A, Smith whose toi>ic was “High Spots (CoBtinued on Page 2)
