Sketch'Eook
Well, it seems like this will be the
last time that I'll have the opportuni
ty of writing this chit-chat for you,
and it has been nice—at times. No
kidding all of us dignified seniors will
miss being ardund, but I can’t say that
I’m really sorry, and you most likely
can’t either. There is always some
one to take one’s place, but here’s
hoping that you won’t forget us, en
tirely. Some of the folks that you
■won’t be seeing around this year (or
we hope that you won’t) are Helen
Cobb, Catherine* Cooper, Lois Casey,
Tom Hoffman, Pat Hook, Jimmy
Westmoreland, Anne Strader, Leon
Hinton, Mac Welch, Martha Franks,
and Anne “Hubba Hubba” Pfisterer.
There are probably many others, but
the brain, which I’m supposed to have,
just won’t function anymore.
She isn’t a senior, but she doesn’t
plan to be back next year, and I can
think of no one who deserves orchids
more than Kathy Young, Alabama’s
gift to Elon for the past three years.
Kathy is one of the best all-around
girls ever.
While at Elon she has been active
in many things, such as president of
Elon Players for the past two years,
and sub-director of the Delta Psi
Omega. She has been one of the
most outstanding persons in the Dra
matics Department and was the win
ner of the award for the best actress
last year, vice president of the Art
Club and lab instructor; treasurer of
the junior class, a member of the
PhiPsiCli and Maroon and Gold staffs,
and a member of “Who’s Who Among
Students in American Universities
and Colleges.” Her likes include
football, dancing, tennis, aad GOOD
MANNERS. To you, Kathy, here’s
.wishing you the best of everything
(including “Ken”), because if anyone
ever deserved it, you do!
L’il Polly Qualls is really busy
these days; it keeps her busy going
from Burlington to Wake Forest and
Carolina to dances.
If you want to hear a “Tall Tale”
about the trip to the science meeting,
see Jimmy Westmoreland. Be sure
he doesn’t leave out the part about
the com cob pipe and the cigar.
Just because we aren’t around, do
not forget us, because we’ll remember
you.
Bye. DALE.

Comprehensives in major fields
have occupied the attention of many
seniors for the past few weeks. As
a tip to other students, the Maroon

announcement of a faculty ruling
which places Elon in accord with prac
tice at all major universities and col
leges: namely, hereafter all papers
will be subject to review as to pro-
fiency in composition, and students
who fall below college profiency level
will be required to do remedial work
in English usage.

CONNIE COMPLIMENTS
One of the most interesting person
alities around here is Bill Duncan,
Elon’s photographer, who is definite
ly an asset to the college.
Mr. Duncan works quietly, patient
ly, and efficiently in the manner of a
man who is confident of his ability.
He was bom in Bellrose, Long
Island, New York, and moved here
in 1941. His interest in the busi
ness began as a hobby, and did not
develop into anything serious until he
joined the army, where he did mili
tary photography and gained experi
ence.
His schooling includes the New
York Institute of Photography, Blue
Ridge College in Maryland, and Elon
where he took two courses in pho
tography, and is now a staff photog
rapher in charge of the college studio
for Maroon and Gold and the News
Bureau.
After graduation from the New
York Institute of Photography, Mr.
Duncan was an instructor of pho
tography there. Upon his release
from the army, he did commercial
work for the office of Scientific Re
search and Development, which is
managed by Columbia University.
When he was in New York he obtain
ed a position with Look Magazine in
the daytime, and at night attended
photography school. Proof of his
ability lies in awards won in profes
sional state and national photograph
er’s competition.
Mr. Duncan’s residence, since Jan
uary, has been Elon’s Veteran’s Vil
lage, where he lives with his lovely
wife, the former Ruby Wright, a grad
uate of Elon. They have a daughter
eighteen months old who has proved
herself an apt model for the man be
hind the camera.
Mr. Duncan’s plans for the future
are not definite, but he will probably
go into the field of advertising il
lustration.
CONNIE CONTEMPLATES:
We’ve been reading a lot lately
about a certain well-publicized croon
er and his antics. For some strange
reason, this crooner had his option
dropped by his sponsor, P. Lorillard,
who manufactures a product which
is habit-forming. Now we read fur
ther, that the reason for dropping
his option is that his program is not
bringing enough profit. So the little
star begins to fall.
DEAR DIARY:
It is practically summer now, and
time to say goodbyes—for us, it is
goodbye for a little while to the ROY
AL FAMILY: King Cosmic, Queen
Consort Compere, Little Prince Phil-
pot, and Little Princess Penelope.
But we’ll be back again for another
year to keep the Prince out of Cos-
mtc’s garden and to dry the tears of
sensitive little Penelope.
CONNIE.
To the wartime staff of the Maroon
and Gold, the present staff forwards
the compliments of the United States
Navy for services rendered to naval
personnel during the war.
In a recent ceremony at the Naval
Reserve Headquarters in Greensboro,
N. C., the commanding officer pre
sented a certificate of merit to the
editor, which reads as follows:
“United States Navy Bureau of
Naval Personnel takes pleasure in
presenting this certificate of achieve
ment to the Elon College Newspaper
in grateful recognition of outstand
ing services to the naval personnel
during World War Two.”
The Maroon and Gold, according
to the Naval authorities, was well
represented overseas, and did much
to keep the boys over there informed
of the home front and the current
standing of the school in sports and
other fields.
