ATTENB DRAMATIC PLAY DECEMBER 6 illaroon anti #olti HANDEL’S "MESSIAH” WILL BE PRESENTED DECEMBEK 18 VOLUME XI. ELON COLLEGE, N. C„ DECEMBER 2, 1932. NUMBER 4. ELON LOSES ANNUAL FOOTBALL CLASSIC TO GUILFORD COLLEGE The Thanksgving game between Elon and Guilford left no doubt in the minds •of the spectators of who had the bet ter team this year. It could be pain fully seen that the Quakers outclassed the Elon team by their clever latteral and forward pass attack and swift running charges. Despite the lopsided score of twenty-five to six, the game was a battle to the finish. The cheer ing sections showed considerable spirit and good sportsmanship. Both teams seenied to be quite €venly matched during the first quar ter but in the beginning of the second quarter the “shimmy shaker Quakers” began to open up the fire-works and things looked bad for Elon. The trouble began when Guilford made two consecutive first downs. The “Oat” man Turner cut loose a long pass and lo-and-behold Rasley, Guilford end, completed the pass and made the touchdown. The extra point was miss ed. Elon almost retaliated when New- some tore through the line for a twenty-five yard jaunt only to be down ed by a secondary man. Guilford suc ceeded in getting another one across and at the half the score was thirteen to nothing in favor of Guilford. Tn the third quarter feelings ran high and both teams fought their hardest, It w’as in this quarter that our noble freshman class president was feroci- (Ously assaulted, deah-deah, by a non quaking Quaker. Guilford came out with another touchdown in that quarter ,and the score stood nineteen to nothing. teams made touchdowns in the last quarter. Guilford scored first when they used a double latteral and a long pass from Turner to Jamison. Elon started another one of her last minute '•rallies and marched down the field mak ing first downs after first until she •got ^0 the two yard line. Here she •was held for downs; and Guilford kick ed the ball to the center of the field. ^lon was undaunted by this and again jnarcjied down the field, this time to ;a touchdown, Webb Newsome doing the jionors. The Elon team met defeat in tradi- -tional fashion, fighting to a man and flinging to a forlone hope till the whistle blew.

WTioops! but did we have fun! ! Played games n’everything! Just imagine 15th century society maidens meeting on equal grounds with that of the 20th century flapper, and actually being congenial. Such was the case when Ruth Gamble as the “Strictly Modern Girl,” rubbed elbows with Ret- ta Newman and Fannie Peoples, the “Little Puritan Maidens.” Maybe Doris Milks, alias—Poca- huntas and Fannie Knox, alias Captain John Smith, both received the thrill of their young lives and probably an addi tional war whoop—as Martha Anderson, alias “the Cheer Leader” Rah! Rah! Rahed! the team on to victory. I saw Pocahuntas nudge Jolm as she received perfectly lovely suggestion for their next Indian War Dance. When Little Boy Blue blew his horn for refreshments Little Bo-Peep in her ecstacy over what she found in the din ing room completely forgot that she had lost her sheep “and can’t tell where to find them.” All others present shar ed the same pleasure with her over the delicious refreshments found there in Mrs. J.

ELON DEBATING TEAM ABOUT TO ORGANIZE The attention of the Elon College student body was turned to debating yesterday, when Dean A. L. Hook an nounced to the weekly assembly that in about two weeks the debating try outs will be conducted. The query for debate this year is, ‘Resolved, that the United States should agree to the cancellation of the inter-allied war debts.” Considerable interest has been manifested, and a large number of contestants are ex pected to enter the preliminaries. Rev. Potter, pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Burlington, gave the Thanksgiving address in the Whit ley Auditorium last Wednesday morn ing. His topic was “A Grateful Heart —A Thankful Spirit.” Three hundred and twelve years ag(> the Pilgrim fathers landed on this coun try. In 1789 George Washington issued the first presidential national Thanks giving proclamation. The whole Bible, said Rev. Pot ter, is a book of praises and thanks giving. Jesus always carricd in His heart the spirit of gratitude and thank fulness. In order that we may have the spirit of the Master and follow in His footsteps we should be thankful for all the things we have. For what things should we give thanks ?—'bless ings, past and present, and future for mercies, temporal and spiritual, for food and clothing and shelter; for God’s protecting care; for the Bible; for the school; for the college privileges; for tho ordinance of God’s house; for the sacrament of the church; for the spiritual power and influence; and, above all, for Christ, the God, Father, Redeemer, and King. When we try to count God’s blessings and mercies, it is an impossible task, just as much so as to try to count the numerous stars in the heavens. In all of our thinking and praying, let us not forget to thank God first of all, for life, that we are living folks. Let us not forget to thank God for what wo have left. SOCIAL NATION-WIDE SEARCH FOR COLLEGE BEAUTY In the face of the comment made by jJames Montgomery Flagg recently that there are no beautiful girls in college, College Humor Magazine is planning to launch a campaign to glorify tlie American college girl. In the Decem ber issue there is a double-page spread called “Hall of Beauty,” representing every section of the country, and you ^nd you and you are invited to cast a ballot for the college girl you consider lovely enough to grace a cover, by send ing in her photograph. Nominees will be submitted to a board of judges con sisting of Katharine Brush, Thomas W. Burroughs, art director of College Humor, Joe Lopker, former art direc tor of the Notre Dame Juggler, and the editors of College Humor. The girls who made the grade in black and white in the December issue find who may be chosen as cover sub jects are Edna Mae Welch, of Illinois Wesleyan; Geraldine Gerding, of Wash ington State; Kate Jenkins, of South ern Methodist; Elizabeth Jones, of the University of Kentucky; Betty Rogers, of Rice Institute; Nell Cade, of the University of Alabama; Frances Stone, of the University of Arkansas, and Jjeila Davis of the University of New Mexico. The young lady who graces the cover of the current December is- pue is Emily Eowe, of Miami Uni' versity. The Antioch Adventure YE OL’ THANKSGIVING DINNER GIVEN AT ELON “Antioch College is an experiment— a fascinating research project, a glori ous adventure in education, an expedi tion into the problems of today’s youth,” says Dorothy Ann Blank, in an article in the December College Humor, which concerns the college in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and its famous X)resident. “The expedition is manned by Arthur E. Morgan, engineer, and IS dedicated to the proijosition that (1) although all men and women arc created equal, there is no reason they must remain that way, and (2) that there IS life after college! ‘ ‘ A pair of students at Antioch fill a single position, one working while the other is studying. At the end of each five-week period, the two change places. While a student is ‘ on the job’ he devotes himself solely to his work; when the work period is over, he returns to school refreshed, with new enthusiasm for studies and school activ ities. The program relieves monotony at both ends—though I should think an employer might be somewhat sur prised on summoning his secretary to find that she is a red-head this week instead of a blond.” Thanksgiving Day would not be com plete without the proverbial Thanks giving dinner. At Elon College the day was brought to a fitting climax when a delicious formal dinner was served in the college dining hall. The dining hall was made festive by a myriad of varicolored balloons hang ing from above. The lights were trans formed into flowers by paper coverings, and on either wall were Thanksgiving tapestries. The reception hall was pret tily decorated with autumn leaves and candles. The dinner was sponsored by the Philologian Literary Society. Mr. Carl Key, toastmaster, greeted the guests and made a short talk about the So ciety. Mr. Harold Ford toasted the old Philologians who were present. Mr. Ramsey Swain toasted the football team. Last, but not least, Dr. Smith presented his maroon and gold high hat which had been promised to the football man who made the first score for Elon. It went to Webb Newsome, Newsome’s response was a pretty gesture of acknowledgment. After dinner, coffee was served in the reception hall, with Miss Walker pouring coffee and some of the fresh men serving. Mr. H. York and his sister. Pearl, spent the week-end with their brother, Mr. Mike York. Results of Sophomore Election For 1932-33 President—William H. Horton, Elling ton, N. Y. Vice-President—Wilbur H. Tuck, Vir- gilina, Va.

First, if we secure these mem berships, we shall balance our budget, for the President has greatly reduced the current expenses of the institution without reducing the efiiciency of the service. Second, we shall be able to liquidate our most urgent obligations which disturb the minds of all friends of the College. Your dollar-a--month will enable the College to multipy friends of the College by making it possible for the largest number of per sons to share in the educational in terests of the Church. This opportunity is in the reach of almost all. About three cents a day to save Elon College is not much, and more than 5,000 per sons can do this much, and more, if they will try. If you contribute ten cents a day, you can take three mem berships. Your dollar-a-month will enable the College to prove that there are those who love the institution and inspire others to help liquidate all in debtedness in the course of time. It would inspire the workers here at the College to undertake even greater things for the educational interests of the Church. It would enable us to receive not only the moral support of the Congregationalists, but 5,000 mem bers of the Christians in the Dollar-A- Month Club, paying $5,000 monthly, would inspire theni to believe in our loyalty, our devotion, our self-sacrifice and our determination to the extent that they would rally to our assistance and help us remove the burden that we are carrying and set the College free to undertake greater things. This, in turn, would inspire General Educa tional agencies, and Foundations to contribute to an endowment, which would enable us to carry on without contracting further debt. If you and each of you, five thou sand strong, would unite with the Dollar-A-Month Club, our President (Contiaued on Page 4)
