Mr. Robert Morgan, piano and organ instructor of Scranton, Pa who is with us this year while Professor Moore is away, has an opinion of Elon which everyone undertaking her environment should have. He sees Elon as an alert, intelligent college. Mr. Mor gan, a graduate of Syracuse Uni versity, has devoted his life to music. Since the age of seven he has been taking lessons so as to enable others to enjoy and to see the importance of it. His w^ork is music, his love is music, and his hobby is music. “For”, says Mr. Morgan, “When one under takes to study and teach music he has time lor no other hobby." When questioned as to swing and its popular standing he has the opinion that it is all right in its place, but that it will never over-rule classical or serious mu sic, as he terms it. In his estimation Elon has many good opportunities to offer, es pecially in the music department and its well-equipped music rooms It is a great pleasure and honor to have Mr. Morgan with us this year. There hasn’t been much said about the Home Economics De partment. But Elon’s aware that it is a very important department of the college, and more and more girls are realizing what excellent courses are being offered. It is Miss Lida Muse’s first year at Elon College. She comes to us with a wealth of experience in home economics. She received her B. S. degree from the Uni versity of Tennessee, and her M. A. from Columbia University. Miss Muse has had ten years’ ex perience in college teaching, which has included both Junior and Sen ior work. She has served as the head of the Home Economics De partment at Centenary College, Shreveport, Louisiana. Prior to that she was head of the Depart ment at State Teachers College at Murry, Kentucky, and State Teachers College at Memphis. Tennessee. Elon College is proud of its Home Economics Department. Miss Muse is extended a hearty welcome and an assurance of full cooperation. In addition to the Home Econo mics curriculum, there is a club, composed of those girls who are taking courses in the Department. This group, under the sponsorship of Miss Muse, has extensive plans for the year. The President of the Home Econoznics Club is Lucy Mae Wright; Vice-President, An- neta Smith; Secretary-Treasurer, Melvin James; Program Chair man, Geraldine Deaver; Chairman Social Committee, Edith Bran- nock; and Reporter, Ida Mae Pi- kuid. iNeese was m charge, and reports regarding the several commit tees were made.
