vraen‘YjfX.“Cf’eahead) Walker has
produced a North State Confer
ence championship basketball
team. On Saturday night, Febru
ary 23, Coach Walker’s Christians
brought their highly successful
conference season to a close by
trouncing the weak Atlantic
Christian College Bulldogs at Wil
son by the score of 47 to 25. On
Monday night, February 25, the
team played its last game of the
season when it completely swamp
ed a non-conference foe, East
Carolina Teachers’ college, 70 to
36.
While at present no all-North
State Conference quint has been
selected, the Christians boast sev
eral who will undoubtedly be plac
ed on such a mythical aggrega
tion, when and if named. Howev
er, the success of the team this
year has not been attributable to
any one or two stars, but to the
smooth working of the players as
a basketball unit.

from Chattanooga, Tennessee, was

Carrying out the wishes of the
General Alumni Association in its
commencement meeting last June,
M. L. Patrick, president of the
associaiton, has set up a nominat
ing committee for the officers of
the association for the next two
years. The nominating committee
is composed of Dr. Fred K. Gar
vey, chairman, R. H, Gunn, High
Point College, and Miss Lucille
Johnston, High Point. This com
mittee will nominate two candi
dates for each major office: Pres
ident, vice-president, and secre-
tai'y-treasury. Two names for the
annual Alumni Orator will also be
offered.
The General Association in its
1934 commencement business ses
sion decided to elect the next
slate of officers by ballot. Here
tofore only those who have been
able to attend commencement
have had an opportunity to take
part in selecting the officers of
-their association. Tliis year, how
ever, the E!on Alumni will follow
the examples of most general
sociations and make its selections
through the use of the ballot.
The nominating committee will

W.H.Albright
Is First Elon
Matriculant
Member Of The Class Of
1893 Was Number One
Registrant When College
Was Opened
Although actually graduating in
he third class from Elon College,
Mr. W. H. Albright. Liberty, N.
2., enjoys the distinction of being
he first student to matriculate at
his Alma mater. There could not
lave been many matriculates in
he fall of 1889, since there were
nly four graduates in the classes
)f ’91 and ’92, and since only ten
were graduated in Mr. Albright’s
lass of ’93. According to the first
•egistrant of Elon, he was not se
lected because of any particular
listinction he might have enjoyed
.t the time, but because of the al-
habet. “My name beginning with
A, I was the first to go forth,” de
clared Mr. Albright.
Born in Chatham County and
receiving his preparatory educa
tion from the Sylvan Academy.
Pleasant Grove Academy, and
Liberty Academy, before entering
Elon, Mr. Albright was graduated
with the class of '93.

Editor’s Note: 'I’he follow
ing is a report made by Mr.
C. M. Cannon, Business Man
ager and Reg^istrar, before
the Board of Trustees on
February 19, 1935.
By C. M. Cannon
Last February at the mid-year
meeting of the trustees the au
thorities reported that the outlooV
for student enrollment for this
year was much brighter than it
had been for the previous three
years. The enrollment figures this
year have more than justified our
prediction. The enrollnvent in
creased by 92 students {a 35 per
cent increase) for the fall sem
ester this year over that of a year
ago, and 85 students for the en
tire year. The decrease of seven
from the fall term is due to a
smaller number of students enter
ing at the mid-term this year.
The Registrar and Busin-ess
Manager are huppy to say that
the prospect for next year looks
equally as bright. We anticipate
another good increase; we hope
the qeuivalent of this year. Mr.
Colclough has been in the field
during the fall and winter and
says that he looks for a very
large entering class this next fall.
