LET’S BEAT LENOIR-RHYNE ilaroon ant #olb THANKSGIVING COMING SOON VOLUME X. ELON COLLEGE, N. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1930. NUMBER I. CHRISTIANS SWAMP NAVAL APPRENTICE 42-O-LENOIR HERE THANKSGIVING ELON PLAYS GREAT GAME Williams, Roberts, and Stars of Game. Kelly Captain Henry “Pete” Williams proved to be a human battering ram smashing his M-ay time and again for lengthy gains through the Apprentice line. He scorcd two touchdowns and added six extra points by placement. In the fourth quarter Williams tore through the middle of the Apprentice forward wall and drove, twisted, squirmed and fought his way 15 yards to a touchdown with four Maroon, ■would-be tacklers, swinging on his neck and body. Although Captain Williams was prac tically unstopable, Elon flashed two other brilliant ball toters in the light weight class, namely, Charlie Roberts and George “Shipwreck’^ Kelly, who reeled off numerous gains through the line and around the flanks. Elon started off like a cyclone, push ing over two touchdowns before five minutes of play had elapsed. The Christians kicked off to the ship build ers and after Varner and Canepa had failed to gain, the ball was punted out of bounds on the Apprentice’s own 26 yard line. Smith drove into left tackle for two yards and Dofflemeyer on a reverse went over right tackle for a first down on the Apprentices 16 yard line. Wil liams on the next play picked up three more yards on a double pass behind the line, and Kelly jammed through center for a first down on the Maroon’s own 2 yard stripe, and carried it over right guard on the next play, for a touch down. Williams then kicked off to Warnoni, who was stopped on the Apprentices 25 yard marker. The Maroons were again forced to punt on Elon’s 3 yard line, tjut. uno iiuio Elou Was forced to punt after drawing a 15 yard penalty for holding. The ball was fumbled by Warnom and Rollins fell on it for Elon on the Maroon's 45 yard mark. Then the Christians, led by Williams, Smith, and Kelly, carried the ball to the Ap prentices 15 yard stripe, making three downs in a row. Then after Elon had been set back five yards for back field in motion before the ball was passed, . Williams passed to Harrington who was waiting over the line to score the sec ond touchdown and the extra point was added by placement to make the score stand 14-0 in the Christians’ favor. Early in the second quarter, after a punt had been blocked by Elon on the Apprentices 25 yard line, Kelly took the ball and after a first down smashed through the middle of the line for an- (Continued on Page Four) LITERARY SOCIETIES HARD AT WORK New Members Taken In. November 1st, a great day in the lives of the Freshmen, has come and gone. It was not only their first opportunity to elect their officers but also their chance to become members of Literary Societies. Quite a few of these promising young people took advantage of that grand op portunity and lined up with one of the four societies. The Psiphelian Literary Society led all the rest in adding new members to her ranks. The ten new members are as fol lows : Maysie Joyce, Norwood ; Cora Dell Sykes, Kinston; Theo Edwards, Gibson- ville ; Sara Andrews, Mt. Gilead; Hallie Loy, Elon College; Beulah Coble, Elon College; Annie Mae Clay, Seagrove; Al- eie Mae Barham, Summerfield; Rena Maude Isely, Burlington ; and Eva Lynch, Drivers, Va. This Society is delighted to have such a splendid group of young ladies and we feel sure that they will aid the Society work. We hope that several others will decide to join at the next meeting. PHILOLOGIANS SECOND WITH EIGHT NEW MEMBERS The Philol»gian Literary Society came next to their Sister Society, the Psiphe- (Continued on Page 4) COACM wali^fq Dofplemvec, CAPrA\HV)ll.l.\(\hA‘^-tlALPe-ACH ° UAT-HAM- Gu^iQD PHILOLOGIAN-CLIO DEBATE TO BE HELD SOON Query Obtained. EXPRESSION DEPT. PRESENTS ‘ACE HIGH’ The first expression recital of the col lege year will be given in the Whitley Auditorium at Elon College on Friday eve ning of this week at 8 :00 o’clock by Miss Hilton Jones, head of the expression de partment of the college. She will be as sisted in this recital by Miss Jeannette Neiderlander of the voice department. Miss Jones will read two one-act plays, and Miss Neiderlander will render several vocal selections. This faculty recital will initiate a season of activity for the stu dents of the expression department, as it is to be followed by a student recital, and also by a play on Thanksgiving eve ning given by the students of the expres sion department. The presentation of the play on Thanks giving will take the place of the annual program of the Philologian Literary so ciety which formerly came at this time, and w’ill be one item of the home-coming program for the alumni arranged each Tlianksgiving day. “Ace-High,” is the title of the play, v.'hich is a three act comedy, and practices have been held for the past week in get ting it ready for presentation. Miss Hil ton Jones is directing the practices, and practically all of the students taking ex pression have parts in the production. Roberts Elected Editor-InrChief In Smith’s Absence In a meeting of the Junior class, C’harles Roberts was elected temporary Editor-in-chief of the Maroon and Gold. Roberts is at present the Managing Edi tor of the paper. J. Howard Smith, the Editor, was so unfortunate as to be badly hurt in an automobile accident. He and several oth- r students were en route to Newport News to see Elon play the Naval Apprentice School, when the car with Smith at the wheel overturned and he was badly in jured about the head and face. The other occupants of the car escaped uninjured. We all wish Smith a speedy and complete recovery, and hope he may soon be again among those present at Elon College. FRESHMAN CX4SS ORGANIZES Fred Fite, President; Bert Tate, Vice- President. The Freshman class honored the fol lowing members by electing them to the offices: President—Fred Fite. Vice-President—Bert Tate. Secretary—Marietta Moore. Treasurer—Mildred Steed. The close race for the presidency be tween Fite, Kimball, and Tate as well as keen competition for the other offices, shows that the freshman class promises to produce some real leaders for Elon. JOHNSON LEADS SENIOR CLASS New Student Elected to High Position. Due to the fact that Mr. L. C. Williams did not return this fall, the senior class elected Mr. Frank Johnson as president of the class. At a recent meeting of the class the seniors elected Miss “Johnny” Sharpe his torian and Mr. Wyatt Highsmith poet. Sunday Services In the absence of our pastor, who is slowly recovering from a serious illness, Dr. T. C. Amick very kindly filled his place. Professor T. E. White conducted the devotional part of the service, reading Eccl. 3 :1-12 as the scripture lesson. Us ing as his subject “Man’s Longing for Im mortality,” Dr. Amick very strongly em phasized the meaning of immortality and man’s craving for it. Sunday evening the services presided over by Miss Mary Rawls Jones, president of the Christian Endeavor, were very in teresting. The general subject was “Stew ardship,” and some very interesting talks were made. The visiting speaker, Miss Jewell Truit, ’29, closed the service with a very effective speech on the meaning and importance of Stewardship. FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES TAKE IN MEMBERS About a month ago, all was bustle and excitement on the Elon College cam pus, and why not? It was October 15th, l)ledge day for upper-classmen who had been fortunate enough to secure an aver age of 80% or more for the past semester, thus qualifying them for membership in the social clubs. After the period of rush ing and decision had been terminated, the following men and women could be seen weariug the colors of their respec tive fraternity or sorority. FRATERNITIES Iota Tau Kappa—Jack Stokes, B. Paul Rakestraw, and Woodrow Cox. Alpha Pi Delta—Carl Key. Sigma Phi Beta—None. Kappa Psi Nu—None. SORORITIES Delta Upsilon Kappa—Polly Walters, Margaret West, Dorothy Marlowe, and Miss Jeannette Niederlander, Faculty Member. Beta Omicron Beta—Ruth Henderson, Dorothy Bowden, and Miss Hilton Jones, Faculty Member. I'i Kappa Tau—Gertrude Pascal and Elizabeth Rogers. Tau Zeta Phi—Jewell Presnell, Doro thy Hunter, and Dorothy Bright. It won’t bo long now. 'I'ho days for the }Ti**nr forensic contests of the ages are fast approaching. Many debaters and orators not uiilike Cicero and Demosthenes will soon be heard on the ))latforms of Elon College. The first great war of words will occur in the Auditorium on the night of Decem ber loth, when the brave Clio warriors will stage a bold attempt to down their nncieiir rivals, the I’hilologians, in their Annual Debate. The Philologians have chosen Ilardrock Simpson, II. N. Truitt, and E. (J. Kilgore to do the main fighting in this great conllict of reason. The Phis can probably outrun the Clios even if they don’t win the debate, since tiiey have chosen Ilardrock as one of tlie contestants. The query chosen for the Philologian- Clio Debate is the same one that will be debated all over the State this year. It reads as follows: Resolved, that the Na tions should adopt a policy of free trade. Plans are progressing rapidly for making this the greatest Clio-Philologian Debate of recent years, and regardless of who the victors may be everyone who attends will witness a great contest. PSIPIIELIAN-PSYKALEON CON TEST TWO DAYS LATER Just two days after the Cli-Philologian Debate, their Sister Societies, the Psyka- leon and Psiphelians respectively, will en gage in a similar contest. The ladies have not announced their query or their speak ers as yet but preparations are being made for a big affair. Each Society will be backed to the limit by her brother society. TXTER-COTJ.FOTATE I'REIJMINA- RIES DECEMBER TWELFTH The Faculty Debate Committee announ* ces that the preliminaries will be held December 12th. It is hoped a large num ber will enter. ENGLISH IV-M CLASS ACTIVITIES The newly organized High School Eng- li.sh Teaching Methods Class with Mrs. Harvey Boney as Professor, has been very active in the past few weeks. Besides the usual class work which accompanies such a course, many special projects liave been carried out. The first sj)ecial project we attempted was a Banquet at which quite a few mem bers of the Class gave short after-dinner speeches. Miss Ann Rawles was the charming Toastmistress of the occasion. The Banquet was held in the College Din ing Hall, and the menu was planned by Miss Johnnie Sharpe and her Committee. (Continued on Page 4) Be yourself if other people will stand for it. Ministerial Association Doing Good Work This year has brought to us much tal ent and ability to be added to our minis terial group. This means that we are progressing, we are developing, and we are expanding with a bright future before U.S. Just as added equipment in the bus iness world means progress, so does added ability and talent mean progress and de velopment in the social world of our dif ferent organizations and societies. When we have such men as the follow ing to come into our little group, we know much work will be accomplished in the future of the organization. They are: Messrs. IT. H. Sasnett, Carl Key, Roy G. Cameron, William H. Arnett, William Redd Turner, T. E. Knight, Olin B. La ger, and Mr. Gressom. For these newly (Continued on Page Four) SHAKESPEAREAN PLAYS PRESENTED IN WHITLEY AUDITORIUM The curtain of the 1930-31 concert sea son was dramatically raised on November 0, by the Elizabethan Players, who, under the capable direction of Mr. and Mrs. Pierre Pelletier, thrilled large audiences at both matinee and night performances of two of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, “The Merchant of Venice” and “Macbeth.” It is indeed difficult to say whether the dark tragedy revolving around the famous character of that equally re nowned Scottish chief, Macbeth, or the humor and tenseness exhibited in the peer less “Merchant of Venice,” found most favor in the eyes of the students and friends of the college; for in each play the acting was superb, and to the observer it almost seemed as though he himself were plotting the destruction of King Dun can of Scotland with the scheming Lady Macbeth, or assisting in causing the dis comfort of Wily Shylock, the Jew, at the successful termination of the trial of our friend, Antonio, the Merchant of Venice. Great credit should be given Professor Velie for the day’s delightful entertain ment, as it was largely through his efforts that the Elizabethan Players came to Elon.
