EDITOR’S N(>TK: It i» worth
mrntiuning that the subject of
tbih column wan the recipient of a
special award for a mi-mber of the
Klon football reserve* who contrib
uted most t« the success of the
Christian team last season. The
award was given by II. Keid, but
the recipient was chosen by t ie
Klon coaching staff.)
When a football coach ha.s th ■
hos.ses. at the trite saying goes, he
is a winner, a champ, a top banan i
and not only that, a brain im-
mensus.
The lately-resigned George Tucker
was a mentor fortunate in enjoying
all these football luxuries. He had
recruited, attracted and inveigled the
likes of Ed Wheless, Rex Harri.son,
Jerry Rowe, Uave Gentry et als to
do battle for the Fighting Christians
of our dear old Elon, Huzzah! Iluz-
zah' With .some hrewd calculating
that worked well save for on? niirht
at (?ullowhee, the Maroon and Gold
gridders, as everybody knows, won
the Carolinas Conference football
championship, and we don’t knock
success, now, do we?
For one of the true causes of such
triumphs, one you won't read about
in the newspapers too much, you
look down the bench, and far down
at the end of the bench was a five-
foot, eight-inch 170-pounder not even
listed in the conference yearbook,
one Walter Wilmer Burke, Jr. —
Just call him WaUy.
He’s all-what? All-State? Ail-con-
ference? Well, not yet. Give our
linebacker .some time. He's young.
I don't know that he played too
many minutes on Elon's kickoff
team this past season. What I am
suggesting is Wally Burke, Fairfax.
Va.. reserve Elon back, contribu
ted heavily to the measure of glor>'
we have all shared. I submit that
in scrimmages, for example. Wally
Burke has played his heart out
Maybe I should more accurately
state he played something eUe out.
What I have in mind is located
lower than his heart. I suspect Wally
Burke has gotten knocked on it
many times. Because he did, be-
cau.se he lent his body to be sweatod
up and bruised and kicked around
by the stars of our squad in prac
tice. we were all the more condi-
tion’d when the troops to the field
in the competition that counted.
Some day, I imagine Wally Burke j
may develop into sports page head
line material. When that happens,]
he just better cast e look to where |
he used to sit on the bench r/l'
hope to high heavens our new coach.

triumph of individual personality
over death's transition; a genuine
affection for our fellow-men: and a
reverence for (Jod. These objectives
are achieved by promoting the ideals
and the philosophy as expressed in
"The Declaration of Principles,"
through fraternity conducted educa
tional programs, and by providing
service to the student body, the
college and the community at large,
not only by the members as a group,
but also by each member as an in
dividual.
The fraternity as a group has al
ways shown a willingness to fulfill
any request that it has received for
service. In addition to those services
which it has performed at the re
quest of the college or Student Gov
ernment Association such as usher
ing at Lyceum programs and help
ing with the Kiker Lake project,
the fraternity has participated in
many fund raising projects for vari
ous charitable organizations. They
have initiated and carried out many
service projects on their own.
Among the more outstanding pro
jects with which the group has
worked have been the installation
of lights along the walks to the
north and south of Alamance Build
ing and on the west campus in
1955, 1956, and 1957, the giving of
the annual trophy for the best home
coming float until that responsibility
was taken over by the student gov
ernment, and the publishing of a
student-faculty directory on several
occasions.
Most of the individual members
have fulfilled their part and lived up
to the expectations of the fratern
ity. Almost all of the two hundred
and fifty-nine men who have been
members of the charter have held
an office in the Student Government
Association and/or one of the man

Colleges since 1950. thirty eight, or
about thirty per cent, have been
members of Sigma Mu Sigma. Six
of the members of the fraternity
have served as the president of the
Student Government Association.
This represents over thirty-five per
cent of the presidents during the
last fifteen years.
Former students have continued to
practice the ideals of the fraternity
after leaving school. In recent yea^
three of the alumni of the chapter
have been named the Outstanding
Young Man of the Year by the Bur
lington Junior Chamber of (Com
merce. A quick survey of alumni
shows that (of those whose occupa
tions are known) there are at least
fifteen college teachers, twelve min
isters, twenty-three public school
teachers, and six doctors or dentists
who have been members of the Elon
College Chapter.
In 1956 the fraternity began the
practice o' selecting a chapter
sweetheart each year. The first girl
to be chosen for this honor was
Miss Martha Rohart (now Mrs.
Lynn Newcomb). Other young .ladies
who have received this recognition
have been Miss Faye Gordon, 1957-
58 (now Mrs. James Humphrey);
Miss Sandra Neighbors, 1958-59 (now
Mrs. Fred Shull); Miss Phyllis Hop
kins, 1959-60 (now Mrs. Bill Morn-
ingstar); Miss Judith Klipfel, 1960-
61 (now Mrs. Ronald Spivey); Miss
Gail Bond, 1961-62; Miss Barbara
Burnett, 1962-63 (now Mrs. Kenneth
Lupton); and Miss Judy HudsSn

heart is Miss Martha Simpson, a
junior from Manchester, Conn.

vay, Reid ga\e it all he had on the
jasketball court, and the Elon stu
dent body cheered his e’. ery mr.e
These are, perhaps, some of th
reasons why school spirit was gre;-.
on one occasion. There ha.e alsc
been other occasions, and there 'v'
be more.
Elon, like all schools, cheers ;
winning team. School spirit rec-'g-
nizes the excellence of Jesse Bran
son, the improvement of Howard
Andrew and Art Davis, the intestinal
fortitude of Dave Winfrey and the
desire of Reid Hughes.
As we attempt to define and im
prove the academic standards, honor
and student government, there is a
place in our attempts at improve
ment for an examination of school
spirit. There are no simple explana
tions why Elon students do not
h»:er, and there are no simple so
lutions to the problem as it exists.
School spirit cannot be artificially
produced, for it is more than a good
ihowing for the school at an ath
letic event.
School spirit is a recognition of
achievement and an expression of
hope by each of us for achievement
in every phase of coHege life.
