Special To The Seniors
1936-’37 At Elon
The work of the college con-j
tinues to make satisfactory pro
gress. We are approaching thC|
commencement which marks the
close of another regular term at,
Elon. This year has been one of
the most successful of the pastj
five. From the standpoint of ma-!
triculation, we are a few under i
last year. However, a larger^
number have remained through
out the year than heretofore. The ,
enrollment for the 1936-'37 ses
sion reached 473. Dormitories i
for young men have remained
filled to capacity through the
year. We have had vacancies in;
the young ladie.!’ dormitories.
There is no question but that a'
better grade of work is being
done by students and everything,
that goes to make up the school ■
is constantly, improving.
This has been a most satisfac
tory year at the college and pros-,
pects for another year are even!
brighter. We appreciate the co
operation of faculty, students, and
friends of the institution and so
licit your continued assistance as
we strive to make Elon the kind,
of college that we all want it to
be. I

Reunions
Returning to the HILL for com
mencement each year is an op
portunity one should never mi.ss,
unless forced to do so. The best
friends are those made on a col
lege campus, and yet as a rule,
one never gets to see them ex
cept on commencement occas-
sions. Those who do not return
for commencement are denied that
privilege.
Your Alma Mater will close its
forty seventh school year May 22-
26. A program of much interest
has been arranged and all who
take advantage of this opportuni
ty of returning to the HILL will;
enjoy the occasion. Arrange-,
ments have been made for meals
and f.ir rooms if the Alumni de-i
sire such accomodation. You
should make your plans right
now to be present for your class,
reunion as well as to see others
who will be here for the forty
seventh commencement.
Alumni Work
The Alumni Association is in
need of funds to carry on its
work for the remainder of the
year. If you have not sent your
i«llar fee to Prof. M. L. Patrick
you .should do so at once. The
scholarship of one hundred dol
lars is awarded some deserving
student eaih year and has for the
piist few years meant that .some
one who could not be in college'
otherwise has been enabled to be
in school. The dollar is not much
to you, but when they are all,
grouped to-gether they meUn,
much to the Alumni Association. !

We can’t tell you nothing—cause

WHAT TO DO
If you are feeling tired and blue,
And you don’t know what to do,
Do nothing
If your appetite’s not right,
And your waistband’s getting
light,
Stop stuff in;
If you can’t see far ahead
And wish that you were dead
Stop wishing
If you know you talk to much,
And your neighbors feeling touch
ed,
Stop talking
If you’re running into debt,
And can’t pay for what you get,
Stop buying
If you’d like to reach the top
And are just about to stop
Keep trying.

honor and is giving himself with

hope and with the prayer of see
ing our church become more defi

With pleasure I take this pri
vilege of extending an invitation
to our church in the Southeast to

ham City Schools, speaks at the
evening service.
Wednesday is commencement
day. The administration is most
fortunate in being able to secure
the service of Mr. Roger Babson
who will deliver the Literary Ad
dress. The Alumni will be inter
ested in this announcement, and
I am sure will want to attend.
The .seating space will likely be
at a premium. Reservations are
requested and a limited number
will be made and held until 10:30
a. m., the hour for the beginning
of the exercise.
There are forty-four in the
present graduating class. An ad
ditional number will receive cer
tificates from the various depart
ments of the college.
