It was in this gymnasium that
the 1914 basketball squad wa‘
winner of the State Collegiate
Championship. an outstandint

A'ith the latest gymnastic appli
ances.
Basketball, volleyball, and other

young ladies had their daily

The athletic field at this time

Newest organization on the Elon
campus is the Vets' Club, com
posed of veterans of World War II
and the Korean War, which has
for its avowed purpose of helping
both the veterans and the college.
Officers of the group are Robert
Harris, president: Joe Wiggins,
vice-president; Joe Harris, secre
tary - treasurer and publicity di
rector: Ed Clapp and John Stock-
ard, business managers: Bill
Walker, intramural representative:
and Larry Barnes, sergeant-at-
arms.
Other members in addition to
ates who have outstanding ..ch:i-
lastic records, and the Elon facul
ty has recently approved ' such a
plan for use here.
The plan, which provides for
three levels of honor awards, pro
vides for leading members of the
class to be chosen after compil
ation of the number of quality
points each student has earned
during his or her four years.
! Those having an average of 2.90
quality points per quarter hour will
be graduated with “Highest Hon-
ors " iSumma Cum Laude), those
with an average of 2.75 quality
points per quarter hour with re
ceive 'High Honors’’ (Magna Cum
i Laude), and those with an average
of 2.50 quality points per quarter
hour will receive 'Honors ” (Cum
Laude),
The averages will be determ
ined by taking the total quality
points and dividing it by the num
ber of quarter hours credit. Since
an ' A” grade earns three quality
points per quarter hour, and a
■ B" grade earns two quality points
per quarter hour, it may be readily
seen that an average half-way be
tween ' A ” and "B ’ would be
necessary for "Honors," with
higher averages for the higher
awards.
