C., under act of March 3, 1879. Phooey On Spring In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. And the girl most likely turns him doiwn. So what has he to gain from spring? At Elon spring’s treacherous. One day the sun shines and the birds sing and the flowers poke their inquisitive heads out into the sunhght. The next day, ciomes the revolution. Everybody drags out summer clothes and white shoes, and prepares for a aunbath. Everybody beams, and de.:lares a\julfully to his neighbor, “Ain’t spri.ig wonderful?” And the neighbor agrees. But the day aft er, it rains. And the wind blows. And there’s a touch of snow in the air. And white shoes are thrown into the corner, with a gesture of disgust; fists are shak en at the sun, retreating in haste behind the nearest cloud; baseball gajmes are called off; El.a retires to indifferent winter-time languor. And on the next clear day, the whole process is repeated. In the spring people think up pranks. The Elon library becomes me nucleus jf all such activity. Of L-ourse, bein’ as h(y-\ it’s spring people get the fever, and decide that it’s too nice outdoors to study. Grades go down, and down. Imagination goes up, and up. The 1. ng-«uffering library staff acquires a look of insanity in it; eyes, and to itself resolves that nothing can be done about upring, jnce it hits Elon. Spring! It is spring. Bees are hum ming, and Pluto’s noee is freck ling. There are turbulent rum- oiis of professors removing their flannels, and amorous tales of budding love in forbidden places Cfor details watch the steps in front of the auditorium). Maxine Hudgins borrows white shoe pol ish, and Virginia Oonyes has been seen washing her face before breakfast. Dr. French trots around campus in a yellow shirt and tie, and defies all traditions of comservative dress of those un- ieifish, eccentric souls who re sign themselves to lead youth through the channels of higher learning. The post office has been painted and the government has pasted the walls with a new list of delin quents in society. Groucho of the drug has suddenly refused to al low trash on the drug ,and gay plump robins hop around with new grass tickling their tum mies. The administration com plains loudly KSf the soft ball games in front of West Dormitory, and Dr. Collins has a new blue tie. Take my word for it. It’s spring! A great step has been made on the campus by Di’. Collins and his dramatic class. The plays given before the holidays were a nuge oucce.s. Laon membvr of the ciass has written a play, and more of them are to be produced before the year is over. The first plays to be given were by Margaret Earp and Ford Miller. Hearty cheers to them both. The class is doing its own directing and acting and is making all sceinery and costumes. I have a feeling we have something there, definite ly. The new German haircuts which are appearing so sudaen.y ana abruptly on the campus are caus ing a furor amjng tne fairer sex. Gentlemen, they reseat some way your missing locks. Vanity, vani ty, all is vanity. .student body did “just the same old thing”, or won’t tell just what they did do, but quite a few had out-of-the-ordinary experiences and lived to report the morbid de tails. To the question: “What did you do during Spring Holidays?” MARGARET SMITH answered: “Oh, I did a bit of mancing” and found it a most en joyable pastime.” JOE GOLEMBEK gave us a sly wink and said, “I’ll tell you pri- yately, but you won’t find all of it printable.” VIRGINIA CONYES says that she went shopping, (/maybe spring was in her heart when sae bought that crazy turban), went hik.ug played poker, and in general had a nice healthy vacation. MARY LOU HAYES was about half asleep when we approached was a sensation in Paris, thrilled London, pa.ked houses in New York and has created more com ment than any picture of its cali bre in the last ten years. If you have seen it once you’ll want to isee it again, and if you haven’t • een it yet, you certainly can’t -af ford to miss it. On the same bill is one o'f th^se Spring Ro-; hilarious Looney Tunes; this time it is “Picador Porky”. Tnis one-reel subject is packed with laughs and is sure to Uave you feeling better about all your troubles.

MSI The 0 301 Ish manners are con fined almost solely to ab^.ut two dcze-.i of the boys. We realize that some of the students have n t had the opportunity, before coming to college, of assimilating those little nicieties and manner- it in the genuine hope that those who haven't stopped to con-ider their conduct, perhaps will t.ike stock -of themselvti^ and change their conduct in the dining hall. We feel that it not only would be to their advantage but would make tjhe dining hall a much mora eu- joyable place if some of the common sense demands of civiliza tion were practiced.
