Day Student Sketcli^Eook Socially Speaking By ANN RADER DAY BY DAY WITH THE DAY STUDENTS If you know what I mean, Billy Smith of Wake Forest (future preach er) bid hearts, and leads with a dia mond. His partner is Virginia Boyd. It’s beautiful, Virginia—and being a preacher’s wife is nice too. W’ill you tell us how soon. The two Libs went a-dancing, mean ing Lib Brady and Lib Apple. Place —Greensboro; time—this past week. Doris King has been elevated to the Day Student Intramural Council. Also heavily drapped with the weighty and dignified mantle of re sponsibility is that serious sober, sen ior, “Simpie'’ Simpson, who is now the team manager for Day Students. The attractive visitor who return ed to tread the campus and view again the background of many a pleas* ant memory was Mrs. Wallie (Nellie) Snyder. Anytime, Nellie, anytime, you're always welcome. Poor old Jack Foster. He claims he lives just eight miles the other side of nowhere, at Altamahaw-Ossi- pee. Now Jack, if you will just or ganize a small party (or large) and include a big bonfire and weiner roast, so we can sit around and eat, and sing, and harmonize generally, you’ll find out that eight miles from no where is just the right distance. Speaking of boys—and who around here doesn’t—have you looked over Bill Love and Clarence Brown yet? We don’t feel like saying they are “cute,” but we will say that the boys have something—just a touch of Van Johnson. Extra! 'Duke loses to Elon! No, it wasn’t at feetball, or baseball, or tennis, or ping pong! But, neverthe less Duke lost to Elon; that’s our con tention and we stand by it. So, you want proof Alright, here it is, Helen Kingsiand. formerly of Duke is now on the Elon campus—Q, E. D. Dear old “Glamour-voice” McCol- lock of radio station WBBB wants to know who has a waffle. Not nec essarily a cream-waffle of Toodle- House farm, or a cheese waffle, but ust a plain, simple, old-fashioned waffle. If Elon only had some plain, simple, old-fashioned girl, who would cook this plain, simple, old-fashioned waffle, we thing it would touch his plain, simple old-fashioned he^,rt. I don't know how Bill Shakespeare would have written it or how Jimmy Fiddler would put it—Walter Win- chell would say that ‘they are that wa about each other” or “planning a merger,” or “he is contracting for a lot of her time.” But not being any of these guys, all we can say is that the new twosome on the cam pus is composed of Jean Terrell and Jack Storey. The S. C. A. is planning a Hal loween Carnival for October 27. The rumors of bon-fires, food, and stuff sound super. TheT au Zeta Phi sorority got into the swing again with a hamburger supper at Kivette’js Cabfh Saturday evening. September 29. Kappi Psi’s present boosted the morale. The girlg in all dormitories will hold open house soon, so get your pin-ups censored and dusted. The B. O. B. sorority had an out door supper last night, October 5, at the home of Faye Rickard, on the Greensboro road. Rushees and their date enjoyed the food ’n trmimings. East dormitory girls cater to Miss Kendrick’s informal get-togethers. The fun and fellowship are good for what ails you. The day students are glad to see Alamance Parlor open all day. Ping- ; pong tables will be set up soon. I The Delta U's gathered in the re- I ception hall of West Thursday, Sep tember 27, from 9;30 tilHl. Ladies’ Hall, under the leadership of Betty Sue Lloyd, house president, and Christina Hardy, hall sponsor, had a social Thursday night at 10. The Pi Kappa Tau sorority had a rush part from 5 to 8 o’clock Tues day evening. FRANK HAYES WRITES VICTORY LETTER FROM ' TOKYO BAY This is a copy of a form letter printed by the goverment for Navy men who were in Tokyo Bay on official V-J Day to send to their fri*-*ds and famil . Anchored at Tokyo Bay, Japan September 2, 1945. Dear Dr. Bowden, I I Greeting you from the land of the i Rising Sun! I The war is officially over for us today with the signing of the peace , treaty. Now we are looking forward to the day when we wll be home for good! Today we are making history and are proud of this distinction of trans porting the first water-borne occupa tional troops to the homeland of the Japanese. On this occasion we have on board correspondents assigned by the Navy to get pictures and stories for the local newspapers and maga zines on board. Kep a weather eye open for pictures in your paper. What do you think of the cancel lation of the air mail stamp on the envelope. We thing that it would make a good souvenir. Maybe you would .like to keep it in remembranc\ of the signing of the jftace treaty. Let me hear from you soon. Sncerely yours, FRANK Ens. F, A. Hayes USS Cecil in care FPO San Francisco, Calif. Campus Personality Our personality spotlight this week falls on a senior girl whose happy smile everyone has seen around cam pus, and especially in Professor Hook’s office. It is hinted that there she computes our grades, and it might be a good idea to make her your friend. Jessie Thurecht hails from Eliza beth City, North Carolina. She is a senior, majoring in biology, and will graduate in November. After graduation, she plans to spend a few more months at Elon taking special courses. Later she plans to attend Emory University at Emory, Ga. During her years at Elon, Jessie has taken an active part in all cam pus activites. Last year she was jun ior attendant in the May Court and vice president of the student body. She is a member of the Delta LTpsilon Kappa Sorority, listed in yvho’s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities, and is a member of the Pi Gamma Mu National Science fraternity. It seems that Jessie has quite a few mtire likes than dislikes. Elon College and all that goes with it (that includes a lot) heads her list of likes. Good food and times run a close second, followed by boy-break dances with oodles of good-looking men. (Remember when the cadets were I|?re? That’s how she hk’es dances.) And, of course Jessie didn’t mention it, but we thing flower gar dens and sailors should come in here someplace. For more information on that subect, see Jessie. Her dislikes, which are few, run along the line of food and people. She simply can not stand lamb chops,, stewed tomatoes, and catty people. Just one warning—be sure to spell her last name correctly at all times. Jessie, no matter where you go may the best of everything go with you. Girls! Girls! Come one, come all and listen carefully. Some of the campus romeos have informed me of v^hat they noticed first about a girl and I’m'5«st passing it on to you.
