The five sketches presented were; “The Mermaid,” “Barbara Allen,” “The Jealous Lover of Lone Green Val ley”, “The Charleston Merchant”, and “Lord Thomas and Fair Elean or”. Albert Progar played the lead in “The Mermaid” as the captain of the doomed vessel. William .-^alantonio took the part of the cook and members of the class por trayed the sailors. “Barbara Allen” had as its lead ing lady, Angie Henry and the supporting cast encluded Hub-| bard Lawes as “Sweet William,”: R. D. Apple as Barbara’s father and Helen Long as Barbara’s mo ther. [ Virginia Neal as Florellen and Millard McDade as the jealous lover gave fine performances in “The Jealous Lover of Lone Green Valley”. 1 A very dramatic sketch was eivsn in the play “Lord Thomas and Fair Eleanor”. The two leads were taken by Warrington Sharpe and Minnie Mae Franklin. The Brown Girl was played by Evelyn Lilley. I’ommy Heritage turned in a hi larious performance as the wife in “The Charleston Merchant”. On Sunday, Jan. 29 at 4 o ciock j P. M. a presentation was given at the Paramount theatre in Burling ton Miss Mary Joe Russell Tony Sarg’s Company j Attempt At Scalping Of Panthers To Happen Tonight In High Point Joins Commercial Dept. Of College Graduate of Winthrop College Tap Night For Frats And Sororities Next Saturday Night. Well, again Bid»Night is draw ing close and bringing with it the scramble and rushing around of the fraternities and sororities in putting on and trying to make an impression on the prospective and eligible students. To be eligible for one of these organizations a student must have an average of 80 on their school work. There seems to be quite a few places open for prospects this year in the fraternities with the Sigma Phi having space for ten; the I. T. K. open for five; the Alpha Phi open for five and the Kappa Psi having room for 12. As for the sororities the B. O. B. has room for 16; the Delta Kappa room for 12; and the Tau Zeta Phi room for 8. Get your sleep before February 11, because you certainly won't be able to get any that night Some of us have been wonder ing who the new faculty member is and her purpose here. She is Miss Mary Joe Russell and is helping Mrs. Howell in the com mercial department. This will help Mrs. Howell very much and will make it much better for the stu dents in that department. Miss Russell is from Rock Hill, S. C. and attended Winthrop Col lege there. She received a B. S. degree in 1936 and comes to us ^fter two years of teaching exper ience in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Miss Russell recently said, “I am enjoying it here very much, and wmie aorniitory life is new to me 1 am going to like it.” We are sure that this paper expresses the sen timents of the students and the faculty in saying to Miss Russell, “Welcome to our campus.” ' '■ Of Marionettes To Play Here Next Week Drastic Trimming Of Shrubbery Bares Elon But Is Necessary Tn intervipws with off’- oials the Maroon and GnM has found that the trimmin?-: 'n onr camnus are being don° fqr the main purpose of beaut'fjine thej place for the anniversary of thei school in 1940. They also stated; that Mr. Andrew Ramsey of the Lindley Nursery in Greensboro is supervising the work. As for the rest of the things, we have receiv ed from friends 8500 lbs. of ferti lizer to help the growth of the shrubbery. As for the reaction of the stu dents, we do not think that they like it because the place looks so bare and isolated. Apparently, there comes a time when all good shrubbery must be pruned or die of too much shade. The shrubbery will be in fine shape for 1940. “Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum!” r"p> hpnrtip!! TiOne -Tohn Silver and all his cohorts are com ine back in that grand adveritiire of the sea, “Treasure Island.” thr\ugh a new kind of show, a Marionette show. A troupe of Tony Parg’s Marion ettes will be presented in a puppet show version of “Treasure Island” next Wednesday night at 8:00 p. m. in Whitley Auditorium. Tony Sarg is the world famous “Marionette Master”. His original new York Company will conduct this travel into the land of Make- Believe. A puppet stage will be set up in the regular stage, and here the puppet pirates, diminutive figures ilmost one-third the size of a hu man being, with all the character istics and movements, will plot, fight, and ca\jort for your enjoy ment and enlightenment. The Puppets are manipulated from above the scenes by means of hundreds of strings in the hands of skilled puppeteers, who also speak and sing for the characters on the stage. No student should fail to see this unusual stage show, by the origi nal New York Company of Tony Sarg, world-famous for his ma rionette creations. The admission for students will be' 20 cents, general admission, oJ cents. Elon News Staff Announces Results Of Reader Survey Chatter Columns Lead In Popularity With Elon Students Onlly one-half of Elon’s girls are interested in sports. About sixty per cent of us read Maroon and Gold editorials, and the gos sip columns are champions of popularity. These and similar facts were re vealed in a recent survey of the relative popularity of the different materials published in The Maroon and Gold. The survey was car ried on by the students of journa lism who sampled the tastes of thirty-five representative students. Below is a list of the feature columns and the percentage of stu dents who read them. Campus Chatter 100% Snip and Snoop 97% Campus Stuff 88% Rambling 74% Reeling Along 44% Day Students 71% Library News 44% 1 List’nin' 80% Open Forum 65% The editorials were read by | approximately 60% and one-half of Elon reads the advertisements. Theatre ads top the list in local ad popularity. The survey also reveals the fact that page one was the first page real by 62% of us, while about one-third grab the sports page first. On the first page, articles about Elon parties, dramatic productions, and visitors were the most popu lar while things such as news of the Home Economic Club find their place at the bottom. The sports page is a 100% favorite with the boys, but rates with only half of the female sex. Considered To Be Two Top Teams GAME STARTS AT 8:00 P. M. May Be Deciding Game Of The Conference What is generally considered a classic battle in North Carolina basketball circles will take place in the High Point gym tonight at eight o’clock when the “Cannon ading Christians” invade the cam pus of the High Point Panthers. These two teams are again co favored to capture the North State Conference title, and a lot will de- I pend on the outcome of tonight’s game. j For the past two years Elon and I High Point have come into the home-stretch neck and neck, but . each year the Panthers have been nosed out by the Christians. The games between these teams have always been close. Last year the Christians, led by Whitley, beat the Panthers 35 to 33 and 31 to 30. When the whistle blows at eight o’clock tonight, it is our guess that the lineup will look like this; High Point Samet forward Moran forward Hampton center Towery guard Malford guard Elon Manzi forward Pierce forward Fesmire center Gardner guard Zyvith guard “Glad Rags” Starring Local Talent Tonight At High School Education Club Holds Two Meetings Presented Here Last Night In Little Chapel The “Sorcerer” Postponed Until Next Week The “Sorcerer”, a Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera, which was to have been given in Chapel Hill yesterday and today, has been postponed until Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week.

The Education Club had its first meeting of the new year on Janu ary 26 at ten o’clock in Dean Mes- sick’s class room. New officers were elected as is the customary procedure at all new meetings, and the following officers were elected: president, Jessie Harrington; vice president, Jordan Sloan; secretary and treas urer, Sam Foushee. As for the entertainment committee Francis Bean has complete authority. The second meeting took place last Tuesday night in the Society hall. The speaker was Dr. A. M. Proctor who is professor of edu cation at Duke University. He spoke to the Education Club on the current problems of the edu cational world. Refreshments were served and enjoyed by all. MR. LONG Dr. Albert W. Palmer, president of Chicago Theological Seminary, 1 was a r6CGnt visitor on our cam-1 pus. Dr. Palmer is a nationally] known minister and has recently attracted very much attention in regards to his proposal for a world economic conference. While m | North Carolina he had an active | part in the program of the North. Carolina Convocation of Churches.
