CONTEST IN SUPERLATIVES
Well, folks, here it is! A chance to crown our
lings and queens with the superlatives they so
well deserve. A contest such as this has not been
held around here in a long time, and now is the
"ime to do something about it. Let’s you and me
and everybody fill out the mimeographed ballot
:hat accompanies this paper, and do some real
/oting.
As it stands now, no one knows just who is
;he most popular or best-looking person on the
campus, but everybody has his own ideas, and the
composite of these ideas is sure to bring some
highly interesting results.
We ask everyone to be fair and plan his votes
carefully. No one is to take offense at the title he
>r she is given, but to accept it in the good na-
tured way it was intended.
So what say, gang? Let’s cooperate and have
fine time. Do your own voting and place the bal
lots in the box which has been placed for this
purpose on the bulletin board in Alamance Build
ing. The Maroon and Gold will publish the results
■n its next issue.

Miss Seabury Gives
Final Talk to Girls
Terrible Joe Go'lembek, carrying
a handful /cif dynamite in each
glove, put Carol Conraid, State Col
lege grid star, on the verge of a
ooma in two minutes and 37 sec-
ondis of the second n und lof a
scheduled three round sicrap that
wais to divide the Golden Glove
heavyweight championship of the
PiedmMnt sectio'n last Mf.nday
rnigiht at the Siportrena in Greens-
boiro.
Joe reached the finiala by de
feating Ralph Henderson lasit Sat
urday night in another encouater
that failed' to last two full n^iunda.
In bjith fights Referee Bob O’Neil
had to call things to a bait and
award Joe a techniaal knocloout.
Fighting in the form of Max
Baer, Ji.e failed to let either of
his opponents land a solid blow,
and laughed each time his adver-
safry attempted to do any dlam-
age. Ajiohie “Yussel the Goniff”
lai'ael, who did a. fine job of Man
aging Joe, failed tJ keep cool and
qiuiiet, and Joe had constantly t->
shout down from the riimg ait him
not to get exicited. Outside of
that, things moved al.flg smooth
ly, land neither Arabic nioir Joe re
ceived' any 3cars of battle.
So it’s hiats off to Joe, king of
the Piedmonit section, and a biaar-
b.*nalte to Archie, who “wiuzn’t
robbed and who shouldn’tat stood
in beid”.
