the Mid-Fall *»aminations over, the
students here are cetting down to
work in preparation for the llnal ex
aminations. Less students failed this
year than in previous mid-semester
tests, which can, no doubt, be ac
credited to the fact that the admin
istration is requiring betUr grades
in high school before entrance here
to the freshman class.
Twenty-six made the coveted hon
or roll thi* time. Out of this group,
nine are members of the senior class,
eight members of ths junior class,
three of the sophomore class, and
six from the freshman class. Of this
group, five are from above the Ma

impossible te get real enjoyment
from the things we know little or

What is more pathetic—in the eyes
of sports lovers^—than to see some
person at a baseball or football gsme,
all dressed up in his (more often her)
best, and maybe even wearing the
college colors, when she knows so
little about the game that t^ only

or a tooehdowa is nuMte.

!(. was with the gayset of moods
and the most appropriate of festivi
ties that sedate old Elon celebrated
Hallowe’en on the night of October
.‘W. 1936.
A bevy of beautiful young ladies
in various costumss befitting the oc
casion and accompanied by their
steady swains dressed in similar
mascsrsde, assembled for the special
ly prepared evening meal. The fun
snd frolic began when Hiss Howard's
table WS8 justly awsrded the prise
for the most unique snd distinctly
decorated banquet board, and con
tinued as Leon Lasser and Virginia
Conyes led the grand march to the
Little Chapel where an evening of fun
had been promised.
The expectations of those students
who sacrificed a week-end at home
to attend this exercise were fully
realised as crude but clever comedy
and gentle satire reigned supreme.
Clyde Rudd as master of cere
monies inaugursted the evening’s
program sfter a slight delay of half
an hour, and from that moment on,
no faculty member’s honor was so-
cred.
Miss Child’s class with an audac
ity of long speech practice took to
the boards first in a skit directed by
Virginia Kerns. A clever takeoff at
our instructress in the drama con
stituted the group's theme which
employed the word **Thursday" as
only Miss Childs can use said word.
The Delta U’s now came forward
with a symbolical skit which anyone
can have who can name it—wrapped
and with a girl thrown in.
The first of thf features ot the
evening presented itself with a
“Womanless marriage" on the part
of the Sigma Phi Beta’s (they should
know).
Joe Hilgreen excelled as the per
son tying the knot while "Buggsie
Woosie" Collyer gave as perfect a
picture of a Mushing, frightened, in
nocent, virgin bHde as could be
found within our gates. Howard
Smith, as the bridegroom, bestowed
such an Authentic kiss upon *'Buggsie
boy’’ that they will both be under
suspicion for some time. L. E. Smith,
Jr. was given ample opportunity to
demonstrate hit latent lutrionk abil
ity through his portrayal of the
bride’s mother. His screams would
have made any bridegroom’s blood
run cold. Luke Query, John Cam
eron and Leon Newman lent further
autbentidiy to the picture as demure
bridesmaids.
This little playlet, though
censored where Dr. Diekeat^
was profanety oeetf,
assembl
ed group in an uproar throughout. It
deserved a better rating. Did some
one take offense? After all, it
Hallowe’en and the best was yet to
come.
For a week strange meetings had
been held in a certain professor’s of
fice in the libraty- For a week the
rumor had been going over the
giapevine rtmte that the junior class
was out to win the prise, cap the
bacon, grab the spotlight—or what
have you?
And did they get it?

WBIG is asking ite listeners to

appropriate for the celebration of
the Jefferson SUndard Life Insur
ance Company's 30th Anniversary!
The program ides submitted n»»y
be musical, dramatic, or along any
other lines which in the opinion of
the contestant might merit public
approval. The idea must be given
in outline and must include complete
details.
The Jefferson Standard Life Xa*
sursnce Company is the leading in
surance company in the South. On
January 1. 1937 this company be-
ifins its 30th year of service.
WBIG and the Jefferson SUndard

grams. The concerte for the entire lular appeal.
Continuing ite drive to encourage
undergraduate playwrighte of Amer
ica* the WPA Federal Theatre Pro
ject announced this week that 75
new plays, written by young writers,
have been recommended for product
ion by ite play bureau.
Converse Tyler, supervision of the
WPA Federal Theatre playreading
burc^tui has prepared a new list, in-
coding complete synopses and pro
duction date on the plays, which will
be sent to the 160 WPA Federal
Theatre drama unite throughout the
country.
The Federal Theatre will pay a
$60 weekly royalty fee for each pro
duction, Mr. Tyler explained, but
the author reteins full righte to the
play.
Whea asked what type of play is
preferred, Mr. Tyler said: “We
want plays that deal intelligently
with contemporary life and are ap
plicable to the solution of our modem
^yroblema.’
He pointed to the sUtement of
rFrancis Bosworth, Play Bureau di
rector, who issued a call for “plays
by young playwrights who have
something to say.
Helping these writers to master
their cr%ft, and to continue writing
plays alire to the problems of today
■Ul build a new school of playwrit-
tig. Then are no taboos on subject*
form, or theme—only, that a play
shall be nbout something.”
The 76 plays already selected fall
into all poiwible categories, with ree-
ptct to form and manner—comedies,
tragedies, farces, folk plays, labor,
racial, rural / and children's plays.
All, however, deal with the American
scene, and a good two thirds with
some aspect of the social scepe.
One of the plays, "John Henry,”
written by a young author, Frank B.
Wells, based on legends about the
famous Negro folk hero, has already
been produced by the Los Angles
unit of the WPA Federal Theatre.
yaer are as follows:
Nov. 11—DiCrosta-Ferrari (3o.
Nov. 18—Cuter-Griffin Co.
Nov. 26—Elwood T. Bailey.

lins, lecture-recital.
Mar. 16—Classic Guild.

Mr. LaShelle, former menl»er of

known throughout the east and mid

merable successful concert appearan
ces.
Enterteinment for January 26.

The Salvi Quintette conslste of Al
berto Salvi. considered the world’s
greatest harpist, together with an in*
strumentel quartette composed of
flute and strings.
Dr. and Mrs. Fletcher Collins have
received very favorable commente
from the various universities and col
leges throughput the east where
their lectures and recitals on Elisa
bethan music have formed a high
spot in the Lyceum series. Dr. Col
lins it very well versed in the music
of this period.
