NORTH STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPS ilaroon anti #olti HAIL THE CHAMPIONS VOLUME X. ELON COLLEGE, N. C, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1930. NUMBER 2. ELON WINS FINAL, 20-7 TO BECOME NORTH STATE CHAMPS PHILOLOGIANS GIVE BANQUET Thanksgiving, Turkey, and Team. A hundred and thirty Elon students, alumni, friends and faculty members were both astonished and amazed when they flocked around the huge shaped table to discover the good things which awaited them. The lights were low and the candles flickered, out lining the beautifully decorated walls. A moment of serenity fell over the cheerful family while Miss Chase offer ed thanks. The meal was on. It con tained too much to mention, much less eat. During the serving of the last course the chairman, Mr. Lester Register, arose and explained that the big “T}” could very appropriately mean either of three things: Team, Turkey, or Thanksgiving. We appreciated the ^‘T” meaning ^^Team”, because the boys had just given us lots to be thank ful for, by the evening’s victory. And Turkey, well, we just can’t bear to think of this unless we have just eaten an elaborate meal. Lastly, but greatest of the three, the ‘‘T” kept us con stantly thinking of the great occasion we were celebrating—Thanksgiving. With these pleasant memories to linger with us, the chairman presented Mr. R. M. Hook and Dr. Harper, who added to our store of enjoyment words of thought and amusement. Fired by the success of the evening, we all rose and '‘rang out” the College song for a conclusion. Just a minute; don’t sign off until a word of thanks is added for the waiters and the waitresses, not only for their loyal service but for the effect of their charms on the digestive systems of the younger banqueters. JUNIORS CONDUCT CHAPEL EXERCISES On November 29, 1930, the Junior Class was very proud to have one of their numbers, Mr. Turner, represent them in chapel. His talk was based on selection from the Bible: “Unto him that hath ten talents gave He more.” God has given unto every one talents according to his or her ability; and it matters not what we have but it does matter how we use that which is given us. The stu dent in school is given brains to think and act for liimself; thus by the direc tion of the faculty the student is able to broaden himself. Every one lives by faith, and every one should exercise this faith. By its use it becomes stronger. There is a natural instinct for one to love. Love grows step by step. There should be more love in our lives. We should show our love for one another. If a man thinks only of himself and lives only for the good of himself he will soon vanish. Every one must de velop for the good of mankind. VOLLIKI? - END PSYRALEONS GIVE SOCIAL IN HONOR OF NEW MEMBERS yior^o^is ' CENTER On Monday evening, November 24, the new members of the Psykaleon Literary Society were pleasantly sur prised to find bridge tables set up and arrangements for a party made when they entered the Society Hall. A short business session was held, after which it was announced to the new members that the old members were giving a welcome social in their honor. Each old member then took in charge the new member whom she had chosen as her special care for the evening, and the party was soon well under way. Misses Worsley and Coghill served refreshments. After about an hour spent in gaiety and merry making the members said their “adieux, ” each one feeling that she had been brought closer to her sister Psykaleons by the events of the evening. PHILOLOGIAN HAS INTERESTING PROGRAM The Philologian Literary Society held its regular weekly meeting in Society Hall last Wednesday evening. The at tendance was not as large as usual, due to the fact that many of the members had gone home for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Despite this fact a fine meet ing was held. The first speaker on the program was Mr. Robert Kimball, a Freshman, who made his initial appearance on a regu lar program of the Society. Mr. Kim ball spoke on the subject “My Favorite Five-Minute Sermon.” Though not a minister, this young man pointed out quite a few values of living a good life. He chose a text from the Book of Galatians and in his treatment thereof proved to the Society that not only the Ministerial students are capable of presenting worth-while talks based on the Scriptures. The next talk was by Mr. B, H, McCarn who told us something of the conditions here when he was a Fresh man several years ago. Mr. McCarn has been teaching for a number of years and has just returned this year to get his A. B. Degree. The incidents that he related concerning Elon and espe cially those dealing with Society work of ten or more years ago were certainly of great interest to most of us. The final number on the evening’s program was a humorous debate on the' query, Resolved, that round poles make better roosts for chickens than square ones; Mr. Fred Miller upheld the af firmative, while Mr. Paul Taylor spoke for the negative. Much humorous and interesting arguments was produced in this debate. Both speakers gave evi dence of splendid prospects in debating. The debate was decided in favor of the Negative. Mr. Miller was declared best oratorically. Thanksgiving Encounter Ends In Victory. SEASON VERY SUCCESSFUL Guilford Replaced as Champs by Elon. Elon’s “Fighting Christian” grid eleven closed a successful season here Thanksgiving with a 20-7 victory over the Mountain Bears from Lenoir- Rhyne, thereby clinching the title of the North State Conference. Captain Williams opened the attack by a brilliant run for a touchdown. After receiving the first kick-off on his own 10 yard marker, Williams fell in behind beautiful interference which piled up near midfield. From here he twisted, drove and squirmed his way to the open field and succeeded in out running the opposing team. The try for point was good but was lost on an off-side penalty. The next score came after the fight ing line for Elon had held the Lenoir- Rhyne team for downs and the ball was passed from Williams to the out stretched arms of Rollins, the lanky end, who stepped over for the second counter in the early stages of the game. Williams made the other point good by a placement. The Mountain Bears chose to receive, “ACE HIGH" IS BIG SUCCESS NEW PSIPHELIAN MEMBERS RENDER SPLENDID PROGRAM QOBE.a'TS -OUAr?TGr3 but were soon forced to punt again. The same pass, Williams to Rollins, net ted six more points, and another place ment by Williams brought the score to 20-0 in favor of the Christians. The first quarter ended before the Christians could score again. During the second quarter the Bears were determined to stop the powerful Williams and his scrapping team mates who had been opening wide gfips in the opposing line. The attack was slowed up in this quarter, but the offensive (Continued on Page 3) iiAQQlNdrat^ -End * On Thursday night, November the twenty-seventh, at eight o’clock, the Elon College Dramatic Department pre sented the play “Ace High,” directed by Miss Hilton Jones. Every member of Elon College had been anxiously waiting to see this play. After the play, on Thanksgiving night, it was reported all over the campus that this was the best and most suc cessful play ever given in Whitley Auditorium. It not only showed the ability of each of the characters but also the splendid work of Miss Jones. During all three acts of the play the audience was held spell-bound. The spectators are correct in saying that Miss Jones showed great ability in casting the play. Parker Jones, the retired fertilizer king, was played by W. E. Brill, although his part played was far from his actual experience, he seemed to be at home in the role of “a hen-pecked husband.” We recog nize Miss Jeannette Niederlander as his wife, Catherine. Never was there so much grace and poise displayed on the stage. Who could picture Mar guerite Harris playing the part of Gladys, their eldest daughter, with such outrageous ideas? But who can find another that is able to do the part better? In a brief answer; no one. For the daintiness, wit and for the ‘ ‘ gem of the family ’ ’ the author has saved Kit, the younger daughter. After looking the campus over there is not one who could give this part as well as Lcffie Jones. Morey, their son, was a stern, steadfast, and sincere boy. That is just the reason that Numa Franks played this part so successfully. (Continued on Page 2) The Psiphelian Society held its regu lar weekly meeting last Thursday eve ning in the society hall. To the number who have joined the society this semester one new member, Vera Gerringer, was added. The de baters for the annual Psiphelian- Psykaleon debate were chosen. They were Evelyn Richardson, Martha Neth- ery, and Alta Dick. A very interesting Thanksgiving pro gram was rendered as follows: Why we celebrate Thanksgiving— Evangeline Carr. A Thanksgiving Story—Lannie Mc Intyre. What does Thanksgiving mean to you?—Evelyn Richardson. A Thanksgiving poem—Pauline Sloan. How should Thanksgiving be cele brated—Gladys Lewis. After the program, the judges decid- ed in favor of Evelyn Richardson, whose ^n the morning of November 23, talk was very original and very ef- 1930, at eleven o’clock, the members of fectively given.
