BUI ittm iraaldaat af tha Jaalta

welcomed the Seniors and gueaU with
appropriate whimaicalltles. Lawrence
Cameron reiponded ably. Tom Per
ry rendered a nicely brawned toaat
to the girls, to which Margarat Gal
loway gave a reply. Gwen Tlllmanns
gave a toast to the boys, and Le-
Grand Moody, laboring under the de
lusion that he waa to toast the girls,
nevertheleis came back with a spirit
ed answer. Melvin James, taking, as
she declared, the “medicine of her
patient,” gave the toaet to the guests,
in the necessary abaence of Galloway
Walker, and Dr. Brannock replied.
After the banquet, the group ad
joumad to the Y. W. C. A. for i
party. Both dining haU and Y had
been attractively deooratad with the
rjaas colora, green and white, and
^lack programs, “dlplomaa", and

night. In the last production of ori
ginal plays written for the College
course in Dramatic Literature. At
8:16 on the Little Chapel Stace Isaiah
Sears’ “Mill Village" was presented
to an appreciative audience.
Tom Perry, aa the arrogant and
hotheaded Obadiah Phiiipe, gave an
excellent performance, and Margaret
Earp, as Edith Phiiipe, hU daughter,
handled a difficult role with cum-
mendable skill. Memberi of the tup-
portinK cast included Ben Hurst, who,
as Brother Jed, was outstanding in
his portrayal of a leader among mill
wuikers, Ksy James. Walwr Fonvilie,
Duane Vore, Howard Brown, Chsrlie
Hamrick, Ford Miller. Gwen Till-
manns, Kufus Underwood.
The story of "Mill Village" con
cerned itself with the trials and tri
bulations of mill wo ^ers. their low
wages, and their endeavors to assert
jUieniielves. Mr. Soars has painted
a remarkable picture of a situation
that might happen in any mill town,
sad his characurs are allva with in
tense feeling and easily arouaad emo
tions. In powerful yet unbiaaed
terms, the pUy dealt with the tragic
attempt of young Edith Philip* to
•acape from the mill-vUlaga environ
ment.

Tennis Team Disputed
Hdder of Loop Title
Uabeaten in conference competi
tion during the three past eeaaons,
the Elon tennie team finishsd the
yaar by defeating the Unolr-Rhyne
Beara In one of the tougheet matches
iritaaaaead by * faaa. It aeemed
that the match would have to be
called off on account of darkness.
The whole conference championship
depended on on* point, but the
“Fighting Christiant" lived up to
their aame and ciime through.
Thie victory was supposed to hsve
clinched the North SUte Conference
championship, but the game was pro
tested on the grounds that "Rui-ty
Jones was ineligihle for conference
play. Full particulars were unavail
able, but K waa learned that the
championahip would not be given to
any team fcr the present vk®®'
year. At a meeting of the officials
,if the North SUU Conference last
weak, thla decUlon waa reached.
Dean J. D. Messick, who U president
of the organiaatlon, stated thst since
Jonee waa ineligible for conference
play there waa no other fair way to
settle the matter.
Regardless of the rulln» of the
officials, the uam and the schwl
have the saUsfactlon of knowing that
they are yet to be lickad by any
team In the loop.
Proapecta are favorable In regard
to next years tmm, but the 1ms
dependable “Rusty Jonee and Art
Graenwald will be a heavy blow.
