Plybon, United States Army, retired, of Greensboro, North Carolina, is now attending Elon College as a pre-law student. Captain Plybon, a member of an infantry outfit, has spent six years in the service. On December 7, 1941, he was company commander on an Hawaiian Air Field. He saw action at Midway Island, June, 1942; was en gaged in the entire Guadalcanal cam paign, the Tulagi battle, and the in vasion of the Russells. In the spring of 1943 he returned to the states and since the summer of that year served as associate professor of military; science and tactics, Louisiana State j University. At the time.of his re tirement, Captain Plybon was train ing for Infantry Replacement Over- : seas Duty. With one sergeant, the captain cap tured Japanese two-man submarine which was displayed throughout the United States. He also has the dis tinction of capturing the first Jap anese prisoner of war, which is true heroism, indeed, for any man. MISS NELL CRENSHAW, of Bur lington, president of the Senior class, sfnd president of Day Students’ Or ganization. *The objects of the American Guild of Organists are in part; “to advance the cause of worthy church music; to elevate the status of church organ ists; to increase their appreciation ot their responsibilities, duties, and op He wears three campaign stars, the American Defense medal with one campaign star, the Asiatic and Pacific Theaters ribbons, the American The ater ribbon, and the Combat Infantry man’s badge. At present, Captain Plybon, with his wife and that “fine son” he told us about, is living in Oak Lodge, just off the east side of the campus. On Thursday nigrht, January 18, the Elon basketeers met the Bulldogs of Atlantic Christian College at Wil son and brought home the bacon. Final score was 39 to 36, the game being close from the opening whistle until Captain Fred Register threw in 3 points to clinch the game in the last,20 seconds. The lead see-sawed back and forth during the first half, and each team at one time or an other had at least a 5 point lead. Tlie Maroon and Gold team, which had to invadeA. C. C. to break a home I court jinx, was clicking smoothly at { times, and then again couldn’t get straight and had many passes inter cepted by the Bulldogs. Fred Register and Fred “Mule” Chandler were the leading scorers for the Elon team, each one tossing in 9 points. Bill Mc- Entire led the early Elon scoring with 5 points in the first few minutes and Bob Foust tossed in 6 of his 8 points in the last few minutes. Danny Banks and Wayne Taylor were outstanding on defense, holding Barnes, the A. C. center who two niglits before tossed in 23 points, to a game total of 7 points. W’allace Owen, the other Elon eager to see action, brought the crowd to ■ its feet several times with his accurate set shots from mid-court. Askew, star forward of the Bulldogs, led the night’s scoring with 13 points and three of his teammates, Benton, Rhodes and Bames each tossed in 7 points. Wayne Benton, who had to leave the game in the last half be cause of excessive personal fouls, led . the Atlantc Cbrstian defense and broke up many of the Elon plays. | An interesting sidelight of the game probably passed unnoticed to the spec tators; but several things were seen by those who have been following the team regularly. Although none of the boys are superstitious, it was noticed that Harvey Rawls hung on to an acid eaten penny throughout the entire proceedings, that Emerson Whatley changed his customary place on the scorers bench from right side to left side, and that Manager Don Miller, who in previous games had refused to do so, sat beside the Junior Man ager John Rossi. With another game to be played at Catawba Saturday night. Coach Ad- cox is permitting the team to rest as much as possible. Catawba, winners by Friday’ vote, is composed of Edna Rumley, Frances Gunter, Ed Daniel, and Emerson Whatley for senior at tendants and Margaret Rawls, Jessie Thurecht, Bill Clapp, and Junius Pee- din for junior attendants. These rep resentatives were nominated and elected by the majority vote of all Elon students. Eliza Boyd, who will serve as queen, is from Henderson, North Carolina. Last year, Eliza served as junior at tendant for the occasion. At present, she holds the office pf editor of the Phipsicli, the school annual. Gene Poe, who is now a senior ministerial student, is from Rockingham, North Carolina. Gene was the popular president of the freshmen class, 1942- 43, and is now president of Dr. John son Literary Society. The present manpower shortage made it necessary for the faculty to grant a duration ruling that any col lege boy having an average of “C” and belonging to the sci^ihomore, jun ior, or senior classes would be eligi ble to run for either the kingship or senior and junior attendants. Though no date has as yet been set for the May Day festivities this year, it has been customary in the past to hold the coronation on the first Saturday after the first of Poe, Fred Register, and Don Miller for King: Eliza Boyd, Jeanne Hook Mary Warren, and Frances Hayes for queen; Frances Gunter, Eda Rumley Edna Reitzel, Nell Crenshaw, and Mary Ellen McCants for senior girl Emerson Whatley, Jack Sunburn, and Tom Hor ner for senior boy attendants; Mar garet Rawls, Jessie Thurecht, Florine Braxton, Martha Anne McDaniel, and Elizabeth Braddy for junior girl at tendants; Bill Clapp, Junius Peedin, John Rossi, and Earl Danieley for jun ior boy attendants. Those persons winning out in the primary elections held on Wednesday, January 17, were- for king—Gene Poe and Fred Reg ister, for queen—Eliza Boyd and Jeanne Hook, for senior girl attend ants—Frances Gunter, Edna Rumley, and Edna Reitzel, for senior boy at tendants—Ed Daniels, Emerson What ley, and Jack Sunburn, for junior girl attendants—Margaret Rawls, Jessie Thurecht, and Florine Braxton,’ andf for-junior boy attendants—Bill Clapp, Junius Peedin. and John Rossi. The Maroon and Gold Staff extends heartiest congratulations to King Gene and Queen Eliza and their attendants and we wish for them a hearty suc cess and a birilliant reign over May King And Queen If ELIZA BOYD GENE POE SENIOR ESSAYS MUST BE COMPLETED FEBRUARY 15 The Dean’s office has posted notices calling attention to the deadline for Senior Essays. They are due in by February 15, and examinations on , them must be completed by March 1. over Carolina State and picked to top the conference league by some sports writers, will be a tough opponent. But the Maroon and Gold cagers have begun to hit the form they’ve been working for; and with Catawba’s great center reporting to the service, we predict a good game and the probabil ity that the dope bucket will be upset. PROFESSOR HOOK PRESENTS NOVEL EXPERIMENT Profesosr A. L. Hook gave an un usual demonstration on the physics of sound to the music students in the physics laboratory on Friday after noon. He explained the laws of vibrating strings, and demonstrated the factors governing vibration in musical sounds which were produced by oscillating strings as well as from vibrating columns of air in tubes. The lecture was concluded with the explanation of the mathematics of he piano. Apparatus was prepared by le instructor from cast-off material Which one would not expect could be used in demonstrating mathematical applications of the physical laws gov- erning sound.
