His quintet, which had already been awarded the North State conference cham pionship, entered the Quene City field, composed of “little” college teams from North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, and came out as tournament champions. Beginning with the formation of the North State conference in 1930, Coach Walker has won a championship in some sport year ly since. His stretch of wins is still undenvay with the winning of football, baseball and basket ball titles during 1933 and 1934. His North State championship record follows: 1930, football and baseball; 1931, baseball and bas- kecoaii, ^^32, baseball; 1933, foot ball, baseball and basketball; 1934, football, baseball and basketball. This record shows that Coach Walker has produced six conse cutive conference-winning teams in 1933 and 1934. He came to Elon college from A. C. C. in the fall of 1927.

As a rule, I should say every high school graduate should have the opportunity to make a trial of college and of college oppor tunities and responsibilities. Some of the finest young men and young women that North Caro lina has yet produced are denied college advantages and oppor tunities because ©f the lack of funds with which to pay the cost of higher education. This is a tragedy, a great loss to the state, one that should be remedied. Men of means should provide scholar ships for the young men and young women of North Carolina with superior intelligence and gifts that they might be prepared to make their contributions to church, state, and nation. The high school graduates of Alamance county and of sur rounding counties, living within a radius of twenty-five miles of Elon College, are fortunate and (Continued on page three) Class Of Twenty-Five To Hold Its Reunion Attention, Class of 1025!!

He pointed out that the different units can function to increase the membership of the General Association, enroll form er students and graduates in the given localities, and assist in the collection of the alumni fees. It was his expressed desire that the association continue through the rest of this year and into the next administration to build up more units throughout Carolina, Vir ginia and in other states where alumni are found. Dr. L. E. Smith, president of the college, delivered the main address of the evening, and spoke at length on the future of the Elon. He expressed optimistic hopes for the days ahead.

It ivill not carry the ballot. Vote. Roy Howard Richardson, '27, and John C. Whitesell, '24, are the nominees for the vice-presidency. Miss Sadie Fonville, and M. L. Patrick are the two offered by the committee for the secretary- treasurer. Drs. P. E. Lindley, ’20, and F. L. Gibbs, ’25, are selected as Alumni Orators. The one re. ceiving the higher number of votes of the two will be the ora tor, while the other will be the alternate. It is customary to have both a speaker and an alternate. The departure from the usual manner of selecting the officers for the Association is felt to be more in keeping with democratic principles. Too, it should give people off the campus an oppor tunity to have their voices felt. While it is desirous that as many former students and gia'dti{it€5-t®», turn for commencement as pos sible, it is recognized that only a minority do so. Consequently, the Association wishes to extend the right to help select the officers to Be present at the Alumni Association business meeting. Bring your suggestions.

She will keep the ballots for final tabulation at commencement.
