Paintings ot
W.O.Long Shown
One of the most colorful and im
pressive art exibits to be held at Elon
v/as on display from Tuesday to Thurs
day in the Music Room of Alamance
Building. The paintings were those ot
Mrs. Winnifred Of ford Long, of St.
Petersburg. Florida, and all were in
water color. Though Mrs. Long’s
major speciality seemed to be trees,
the general public and student body
appeared most impressed with those
pictures entitled "September Har
vest” and “Fullers Earth Plant”. Sept
ember Harvest depicted a valley scepe
of rolling fields of grain with hazy
mountains in the distance. “Fullers
Earth Plant” also gave agood perspec
tive and blending colors of the build
ing where Fullers earth is used. Here
for the benifit of those college stu
dents who do not know what Fuller’s
earth is. a word of explanation. This
substance is a non-plastic clay used
in the process or operation of shrink
ing woolen cloth and removing grease
by the action of heat and moisture
It is rumored that you can buy this
dirt in any drug store.
Many colors were skillfully blended
to produce the mo!',t pleasing and de
sirable effect on the observer, and
whatever the desire, the effect on
some was instanteneous, making many
feel that the trees, especially, repre
sented clutching arms from the ghost
story of “Ichabod Crane”.
Although Mrs. Lortg has lived in
Florida for the last 25 years, she was
boi'n in Brooklyn, N.Y. She is a mem
ber of Kappa Delta Pi and has given
much of her time to State and Na
tional Education Association as a con-
tri! utor to their publications, over
tbe radio and as a lecturer. j
A ny veteran wishing to do so may |
purchase said pictures for $25 and
550. each. ^
FORFEIT IS A DISGRACE
They need rolling, and the equip
ment ha^ not. to date, been satisfac-
t.wy. In Tue=;c!ay's game between
I .T?pa‘F i and Moonpy (won by Kappa
Psi. 11-'? I the foul lines and batter’s
1 ox were not even line.l. It is hoped
that things will be better next week.
At present, the big gamblers (it
says here' have quoted the following
oids on the teams for the champion
ship: Kappa P'i is the current favor
ite at 2 to 1. Alpha Pi rates a 3 to 1
choice. Fast and I. T. K. are 4 to 1
.“hots. The other six teams are classi
fied at 5 to 1. but Lefty Hollander's
South Dorm tea'm may prove a dark
horse in the race. Chips Chabalko
also has high hopes for North Dorm.

Did yon ever get tired of using
nnd hearing the same old cliches and
quotations over and over again? If the
inswer is “yes”, why not amuse your-
elf by revising some of them and see
vhat you get? For instance, take this
one from “Maude Muller”; “For of
all sad words of tongue or pen, the
saddest are these: I can’t get in,” Then
rom “Endymion”: “A ring of beauty
is a Joy forever.’’From Joyce Kilmer’s
Trees” we get: “I think that I shall
never see a billboard lovlier than a
tree.” Look what happens if we para-

phrase Thomas H. Bayly’s famous
lines from ‘ ‘Isle of Beauty”; “Ab-
smthe makes the heart grow fonder.”
V.'ith apologies to Mr. Keats we might
say, “Heard melodies are sweet—but
oot at three o clock in the morning,
when you’re trying to sleep.” The
■irst two lines from Browning's
‘•Rabbi Ben Ezra” might inspire a hus
band to give the following advice to
his wife: “Grow old along with me
and stop kidding people about your
age.” If Sir Galahad were living today
his boast might sound like this: “My
strength is as the strength of ten be
cause I eat 'Wheaties every morning.”
Enough. You get the id.ea. Just be
sure you don't start doing it on a lit
