Capt. nicBrayer has received the Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism and suffered the loss of a leg when his plane fell over China: Lawson General Hospital Atlanta, Ga. Staff of Maroon and Gold Elc/ College, N. C. Dear Fellas and Ladies: Thanks to all of you for the nice letter of good wishes. I also appre ciate the invitation to visit the cam pus. Have been hoping to get down there for some time, but doubt if I will make it by the time the present term is out. I read with great interest the copies ■of MAROON AND GOLD that you sent me some time ago. This was the first time that I had learned of the death of the fraternites. That is a sad thing as we used to get quite a bit out of the various fraternities. Hope they will be allowed to. get under way as soc U as the war is over. Your newspaper doesn’t seem to have suffered at all by the war. You are doing a good job. Thanks again for all the good wishes. I remain. Sincerely yours, JOHN.Z. McBRAYEft , Capt. A. C.

A chorus composed of Elon College students, and townspeople will give a joint program with the. choir of the Church of the Holy Comforter Friday evening at 8 o'clock when Stainer’s ‘‘The Crucifixion” is present ed at the Episcopal Church in Bur lington. The soloists will be John Truitt, bass, and James White, ’40, tenor, with incidental solos taken by E. F. Rhodes, Dr. Carl Hagquist and Archie Braxton. Professor Irving D. Bartley Will direct the chorus which will be composed of forty voices. Miss Lu cille Morgan will play the organ ac companiments. “The Crucifixion” has long been a favorite sacred cantata for the Len ten season and is often given on Good Friday. Although the cantata is not ostentatious, its message is success fully projected because of the skill ful musical treatment that Sir John Stainer has given the words.

In courteous response to a request from the editors, Dean P. E. Lindley of High Point College has sent us the following interesting letter. It is probable that there were campus pub- ii^aciaiis at various dates prior to Dr. Lindley’s days at Elon; but this much of our history was relished by the ..Laii, ana we pass it on. High Point, N. C., March 22, 1945. Maroon and Gold, iM. C. It is a matter of interest too know the MAROON AND GOLD is still going to press.

BRIGGS, FORMER ELON I STUDENT WHO IS MEMBER OF ' CHENNAULT’S 14TH AIR FORCE 1 cured the services of a printer in Burlington, a printer who made his living by selling feed and hardware and doing a publishing job on the side, as I remember it. 'The conse quence was the paper, running out of news material, would also carry ar ticles on merchandise, feed and seed. You could hardly tell whether the paper was interested in college or cow feed. But at least the MAROON AND GOLD came out (occasionally on time) and we enjoyed the work and pleasure it afforded our journalist ambitions. After a few numbers with the first publisher, we sought out another printer. Finally, I recall, we went to High Point and contracted with the Barber-Hall firm to take over the paper. This they did, and we brought forth a better edition. I graduated at Elon in 1920 and went to Vanderbilt University in the fall, taking the M. A. the following spring. Then I taught with a military academy in Tennessee for a couple of years, whereupon I entered the Uni versity of Chicago. When High Point College was opened in the autumn of 1924. I was numbered with the first faculty, where I still serve. Yet in my weary wanderings I never get beyond the spirit and enthu- siac-m of Elon, and I know that the MAROON AND GOLD is the student voice of that spirit. So, let it speak long and true. P. E. LINDLEY, Dean. Announcement has been made of the award of the Air Medal to 1st Lt. William H. Briggs of the famed “Ringer Squadron,” a medium bomb ardment unit of Maj. Gen. C. L. Chennault’s Fourteenth Air Force “Flying Tigers.” The Lieutenant was cited for merit- j orious achievement in aerial flight | against the enemy. The display of courage and aggressive spirit in the fulfillment of his duties reflects the' highest credit upon himself and the fine tradition of the United States Army Air Forces. Lt. Briggs, husband of Mrs. Ethel Briggs of 227 Harrill street, States ville, North Carolina, is serving as a pilot with a medium bombardment squadron, which, for the past 30 months has been actively engaged in the destruction of Japanese installa tions in the India-Burma and China theaters.
