CONGRATULATIONS, RAT
WE MOURN THE LOSS OF A GREAT ONE
We could just simply say that Dr. Wicker
was a great personality, but that would be doing
him a great injustice.
Dr. Wicker w’as loved, admired, and re
spected. Besides being a great teacher he^was £
i-reat church man. His name appeared in “Who s
Who” in America. Most authorities recognized
him as one of the foremost educators in the coun
try. He will always live in the memories of the
Elon people.
DAY STUDENTS’ DOINGS
We welcome all the new day students and
hope they’ll like Elon as well as the rest of us.
Saw Frances Davis, Edna Bell, and Ann Sneed in
Burlington the other day . . . Guess Messrs. Day,
Basnight, Piberg, Sigmon, et al are rather lone
some . . . They’re not the only lonesome ones
either’. .. We are glad to have so many Walkers
represented in the Day Student group this year
. J. B., Jr., Agnes Ruth, and Margaret. Wish
kat Evans could be back with us this year . . .
Freddy Tysor shares our sentiment too .. . Becky
Lightbourne was visiting at school the other day,
wonder if she saw a certain basketeer?
By the way, Margaret, can we add your
name to the lonesome list too? ... We understand
you spent your vacation in a quiet and restful
mountain cottage not far from Canton . . . Some
of the old gang w’e’ll miss this year; Betty Haw
kins, Edna Kivette, Marion Goodes, Eloise Ire-
i land, Anderena Brown, Celeste Bryan and Vir-
Look Out! We’ve Roaches on
WE, THE NEW STAFF
With this first issue of Maroon and Gold,
a new editorial staff endeavors to come forth
with a readable, interesting, and, perhaps, a good
looking paper.
Last year many valuable members were
lo=t by graduation and otherv,?ise, but we still
hope to come out regularly with somethmg
worthwhile. The paper in past years has prown
its work under the capable leadership of Dr.
Fletcher Collins, whose untiring efforts have
caused remarkable growth.
As a staff, we desire the Maroon and Gold
to be something that you will look forward to
reading every other Saturday morning. Each ot
us will put forth his best efforts to make Maroon
and Gold one of the best features of the campus
life. We hope you will enjoy reading it as much
as we enjoy publishing it.
So you’re a Freshman, iCongratulations
Rat. The world isn’t yours now, but you are in a
position to have it and all of the trimmings in
four years. And so we congratulate you, not tor
what you are, but because of the many opportuni
ties and privileges that you will have during your
sojourn on this campus. _
If it were possible we would give you Walker
balance scale: an instrument to help you main-^i^^g campus . .. Julia, we’r^lad to have both you
tain a steady pace in the middle of the road. As' your sister ^
the years come and go you will have problems as i ^nn, we think you’re real cute and Elon

as well as problems that will send you into de-; Congratulations to Royall Spence, Jr., President

The food this year is better than usual—
could our dietician have had a change of heart?
bawthe Mae Edwards’ theme song just now is
“There’s Something About an Old Love” .. . how
do you like that, Link? Moses Crutchfield has ■
more than one reason to spend so much time in
G’boro. Wonder if Scott and Taylor were sent
down by the governor of Michigan to reform the
Christians ... . . , ,
We don’t know so much about laith, but
we can tell you plenty about hope and love . . .
There was method in the Soph’s madness, for
even freshmen beauty is impaired by cold cream
and hair pins. If Betsy Russell is a fair example
of the gals in Beaufort-by-the-Sea, no wonder
Longest went home so much last year ... and Mr.
Malbon again puts on his sophisticated act for
the new gals.
When it comes to proposing, J. Darden has
a technique worth copying. Mary Loy was well
escorted at the Faculty Reception, where “Mid
night” tried to monopolize the punch. Better
take Mrs. Johnson’s advice about the love-seat,
Margaret. What we really want to know is what
happened to Looney’s flashlight. . . Who doesn’t
believe in the “three cycle” after the French,
Dickinson and Edwards acquisitions? Celestial,
hasn’t some one told you what we do to gals who
always talk about Duke, or do you hanker for
ijough treatment? ... the Carlton House boys
