PAGE FOUR MAROON AND GOLD Wednesday, April 18, 1951 A nnual Student Musical Shoiv Be Given In May A typical small college of these | United States of America furnish er the setting for Elon's third an nual student musical show, which will be staged in Whitley Audi torium on Wednesday and Thurs day- evenings, May 16th and 17th. The musical show, which cli maxes the dramatic prograip on the campus each year, is a stu- ^ number of Elon track stars dent production from start to fin- serious work this week Track Suirs Start Work For Meet i|h. student The show is written by a directed by a studeni and features student stage stars in all the leading roles. The script for the 1951 show, entitled “Halleujah”, was written by Nash Parker, Elon College sen ior, who has been active with the Elon Players throughout his col lege career, and it has just been accepted and approved for presen tation by the dramatic group. The entire action of the play takes place in the office of Dr. Ferdinand P. Faustas, president of the typical college; and the production is packed with laugh- provoking gags from the first curtain to the last. All the gripes that beset the campuses of Ameri can colleges find their way into the dialogue, which is guaranteed to raise the roof before the final curtain falls. No member of the typical col lege community escapes the biting witticisms that will flow like quick-silver from the lips of the players, each bit of fun cued to bring on the next laugh. A special feature of “Hallelu jah” will be the lively music, which is to feature no less than twelve different songs. This mu sic will be furnished by the Sher wood Music Company, of New York, Nash Parker, author of the play, will have the role of student di rector and will also carry one of the comedy lead roles. Paiker is already lining up the cast for the show, but he has not yet an nounced the names of those who is to be designed by Dick Levine, will be in the show. ^ WILSOIS’S HOBBY IS MODEL AIRPLAISES Dining Hall Gets New Elon Net Squad Loses To State fhe Elon netmen were blanked in the season opener by the rack et-wielders of N. C. State in a match played in Raleigh on Frii- day, April 6th, going down by a 9 to 0 score. The singles matches were not even close, but the Chris tians made a show before finally succumbing in the last two dou bles matches. preparation for the annual North State Conference track and field meet, which will be held on the Guilford College track early in May, and every boy who is inter ested in participating in the big meet is urged to report at once. The Elon track squad will work out once more this season under the leadership of Leonard Green wood, Christian football star, who directed the runners and jumpers last spring. The Christian traek- sters placed second to Guilford ir. the big meet last year, leading until the final event and coming within two points of clinching the North State Confereijce title. The Elon athletes clinched eight first places last spring, and two of the boys who won individual Con ference championships a year ago are gone. Jim Elkins, who won first place in both the mile and the two-mile, graduated last May, and Bob Edmiston, big freshman, vtJho won both the shotput and the discus titles, transferred to an other school. Other Elon individual cham pions of 1950, all of whom are back in school this spring and eli gible for another season of par ticipation, include Leonard Green wood, who won the high hurdles and tied for first in the high jump; Dave Mondy, who tied for first in the high jump;^Lefty Tay lor, who won first place in the pole vault; Larry Gaither, who was the winner in the half-mile; and Bob Lewis, who tied for first place in the 220 yard dash. The jumping pit has been pre pared for practice on the intra mural field, and Greenwood ex tended last week an urgent invi tation that everyone interested, whether they have ever had track experience or not, to contact him and start working out. Speaking of hobbies, Roger B. Wilson has one that is always of interest—model airplanes. He is shown above v/ith two of bis favorite models. On the table is an Aeronca, which was com pleted in one and one-half weeks, and the smaller model in his hand is a copy of the well-known P-47 “Thunderbolt.” The Aeron ca has been presented to Prof. A. L. Hook as a gift, and it may be seen at any time in his office. Varsity Baseball Games Steve Gibson, here last fall as a freshman from Martinsville, Va., is now stationed for naval train ing at Great Lakes, 111. Gibson, who was 'on the football squad and a freshman class officer, left school early in the winter quar ter to join the navy.

Two of the three defeats came at the hands of N. C. State, while the other was from the powerful Ohio University linksmen. N. C. STATE 12, ELON 6 The Christians opened the 1951 season on the Alamance Country Club course on Friday, March 23, by absorbing a 12 to 6 defeat at the hands of N. C. State. Dave Mondy, former North State Conference champion, was way off his usual form; but Bill Hyler, a former Junior champion of Virginia, looked good as he downed State’s Zauber by a 3 to 0 margin. Mondy and Hyler com bined their scores to gain Eton’s remaining three points over Baker and Zauber. Baker had an 80 for State for low medal score, with Hyler’s 83 low for Elon.

The match was played amid blustery A'inds that hampered the scor ing. Finsterwald, number one man for Ohio, who is one of the na- ion’s ranking amateurs, was the leader of perhaps the toughest opposition the Christians will i’ace this year.

(Continued From Page Three) ELON 8, A.C.C. 1 Elon swamped the A.C.C. Bull dogs 8 to 1 here on Friday after noon, April 13th, when Austin Brewer, a freshman right-hander, turned in a masterful pitching job for Coach Mallory's men. Brewer struck out 14 men and allowed only five hits in winning Elon’s third Conference victory of the season. The Christians clinched the win in the first inning with a four-run Equipment The dining hall kitchen has been brought up to date by the addition of three sections of “Magic Chef” gas ranges, accord ing to an announcement made by K S. Horrell, dietician. The new cilities, consisting of ranges of three types, hot top, open top and broiler, are, stated Mr. Horrell, a great improvement over the prev ious equipment. He added that, as there are no handicaps in the way of mixers, sinks, table ar rangements or refrigeration, the Elon dining hall is now as well equipped for its size as any in the South. “There is no excuse for not hav ing good food in the dining hall now,” he said. “We are equip ped to cook anything.” He wish es to point .out, however, that al though the new additions are largely responsible for the recent marked improvement in the qual ity of the food, a great deal of the credit should go to the members of the kitchen staff. Mary Covington, Hattie Morgan, Callie Miles, Herman Gant and Sam Cousin, are all veterans in the employ of the college, with Mary Covington leading the rest with a record of thirty years of service.
