TheX^onNrable^AV.  fKerKScott,  recent  Governor  of 
North  Carolina,  a  nativ^^f  Alajnance  C'ounty,  is  the  only 
native  of  Alamance  County" lU  date  elected   Goverriar  of 

the  State.  This  is  an  honor  to  our  G»j.mty  and    t»jourr \ 

College.  Mr.  Scott  is  a  graduate  of  StSne  Cj^Hi^ge  and  an  V 


Ck^Hi^ge  ai 
honorary  alumnus  of  Elon.   He  was  the  c^nniSi^ement 
speaker  for  the  Class  of  1952.  N^      y 

Before  his  election  as  Governor  of  the  State,  Mr.  Scott 
was  Commissioner  of  Agriculture  for  North  Carolina  for 
a  number  of  years. 

He  has  always  been  interested  in  politics,  in  the  develop- 
ment of  the  State's  resources  and  in  the  welfare  of  the 
farmers  of  the  State.  When  placing  his  name  before  his 
fellow  citizens  as  a  candidate  for  Governor,  he  vowed 
that  if  elected  he  would  see  that  the  farm-to-market  roads 
were  improved  and  that  the  farmers  of  the  State  would 
have  telephones  and  electric  lights.  He  was  elected  and 
made  good  his  promise. 

Mr.  Scott  is  a  man  of  keen  intellect,  irreproachable 
character,  and  high  principles.  He  is  bold  and  outspoken 
for  the  right;  an  astute  politician,  a  loyal  churchman,  and 
a  Christian  gentleman. 

The  Class  of  1953  counts  it  a  privilege  and  is  proud  to 
dedicate  the  Phi  Psi  Cli,  our  college  annual,  to  his  honor.

Time  has  placed  you  in  a  critical  period  of  world  history.  There 
are  wars  and  rumors  of  war.  Disturbed  econonic  conditions  are 
hazardous  to  personal  and  individual  fortunes.  Racial  tension  tends 
to  break  up  society  into  hostile  segments  and  seriously  disturb  the 
norm  of  human  relations.  The  human  race  is  on  the  move.  Population 
shifts  from  one  community  to  another.  Families  are  separated  and 
sectional  lines  are  cro.ssed. 

All  of  which  endangers  a  college  education  for  iiigh  sdiool  graduates 
living  in  this  age.  Yet  you  have  persisted  in  your  course  of  preparation. 
Today  you  are  nearing  graduation  from  Elon  College  which  is  a  high 
honor.  You  are  to  be  congratulated.  May  this  prove  for  you  a  stepping 
stone  to  happier  and  more  productive  living.  You  at-e  better  prepared 
to   reform    existing   conditions   and    help   re-write    world    history. 

Your  Alma  Mater  shall  follow  you  with  keen  interest  and  high 
hopes.  May  (Jod  bless  you  and  keep  you.

Dear  Com  me 

Sometime  ago  Appius  Claudius  said 
that  everyone  fashions  his  own  fortune. 
If  this  be  true,  I  sincerely  hope  that  your 
four  years  at  Elon  College  have  prepared 
you   to  fashion   a  fortune   worth   ha\'ing. 

Go  in  peace  and  do  your  best! 

Return  again,  at  your  will,  honor 
bright !

Honor  Council 

Our  steps  now  become  somewhat  hesitant 
as  they  lead  us  into  the  court  room  of  the 
Honor  Council.  Six  students  elected  by  the 
Student  Body  hold  responsibility  for  this 
important  organ  of  the  Student  Government.

Student  Council 

A  partner  of  the  other  legislative  bodies  is 
our  Student  Council.  This  branch  of  the 
government  serves  as  a  supreme  court  and  has 
the  power  to  challenge  constitutionality  of 
laws  besides  serving  as  a  court  of  appeals.

Walking  through  Alamance  again,  we  notice 
the  Men's  Interdormitory  Clouncil  in  one  of 
its  weekly  meetings.  This  is  the  regulatory 
body  for  the  men  who  live  on  campus. 


A  complementary  to  the  men's  governing 
body,  the  Women's  Interdormitory  Council 
helps  to  enact  and  enfoi-ce  rulings  for  resident 
women  students.

It  is  Thursday  night,  and  we  notice  a  number  of  students  gathering  for  the 
meeting  of  the  Student  Legislature.  Since  \isitors  are  welcome,  we  enter  the 
room  and  sit  in  on  one  of  its  bi-weekly  meetings.  The  supreme  law-making 
power  of  our  Student  Government  is  vested  in  this  group  in  which  cla.s.ses, 
dormitories,  and  Day  Students  are  represented.

Senior  Class 


As  we,  the  Senior  Class,  prepare  our  final 
leavetaking  from  Elon,  we  cannot  forget  that 
our  footsteps  will  always  be  recorded  here, 
though  we  take  our  memories  with  us.  Time 
has  passed  very  fast,  and  yet,  as  we  lose  our- 
selves in  retrospect,  we  discover  our  years  have 
been  full  with  their  many  successes  and 
triumphs,  as  well  as  the  difficulties  and  even 
defeats.  Through  it  all,  though,  we  hope  we 


have  borne  our  responsibilities  to  ourselves  and 
the  school  in  a  manner  of  which  we  will  al- 
ways be  proud. 

To  next  year's  class,  then,  we  bequeath  the 
position  of  your  most  important  year,  when 
many  burdens  will  fall  upon  your  shoulders 
as  you  endeavor  to  make  your  last  firm  foot- 
hold before  embarking  into  the  future.

Sophomore  Class 


This  year,  wc  the  Sophomore  Cllass  em- 
barked on  our  second  and  more  secure  foot- 
step, leaving  behind  a  bewildering  though 
interesting  year  as  tenderfeet. 

We  feel  we  have  established  a  durable 
foundation  as  an  inveterate  part  of  the  student 
body,  and  we  think  we  have  realized  some  of 
the    potentialities    we    demonstrated    in    our 


Freshman  year.  Although  there  are  some  who 
point  to  our  name  and  tell  us  the  Greek  knew 
what  he  was  doing  when  he  named  us  after 
the  words  sophos,  meaning  wise,  and  moros, 
meaning  fool,  though  we  admit  that  we  are 
sometimes  wrongly  headstrong,  we  think  we 
still  have  much  to  offer  our  school  in  return 
for  what  it  already  has  meant  to  us.

Freshman  Class 


We,  the  Freshman  C^lass,  have  now  taken 
our  first  and  most  difficuh  step  in  our  year  of 
introduction  to  Elon.  It  has  been  a  period 
that  we  think  will  ever  remain  a  landmark  of 
the  busiest,  most  confusing,  and  most  un- 
forgettable of  our  college  days.  The  memories 
of  our  experiences  in  classes  and  on  the  campus 
are  more  than  we  can  easily  list,  but  now  at 
the   close   of  the   year,   we   feel   that   wc   will 


never  forget  the  friends  we  have  made,  the 
fine  group  of  professors  we  have  known,  nor 
the  friendliness  we  have  found  everywhere. 

Finally,  we  believe  our  class  really  has 
something  to  ofTer  to  Elon,  as  we  think  we 
have  demonstrated  so  far,  and  we  leave  this 
first  year  behind  with  the  hope  we  will  become 
a  part  of  Elon  as  Elon  has  become  a  part  of  us.

Phi  Psi  CM 


There  exists  one  literary  organization  on  the 
campus  whose  duty  it  is  to  help  us  record  our 
footsteps  across  the  sands  of  time,  uhile  here 
at  Elon. 

It  is  of  no  little  interest  to  look  back  across 
the  footsteps  of  those  who  have  gone  before 
us  and  note  that  the  Phi  Psi  Cli  was  begun 


by  three  literary  societies  on  the  campus.  By 
1913  the  Philologian,  Psiphelian,  and  Clio 
Literary  Societies  were  the  most  important 
organizations  at  Elon,  and  it  was  they  who 
first  engineered  the  publication  of  an  annual, 
to  be  carried  on  by  the  students  ever  since. 


The  Editors,  left  to  right  standing:  Lavcrnc  Brady,  Business  Manager;  Roger  Phelps,  Literary  Editor; 
Mike  Rauseo,  .Sports  Editor;  Reuban  Askew,  Photography  Editor;  Jean  Nunnamaker,  Feature 
Editor.  Seated:  David  Crowle,   Editor-in-Chief;   Professor  John  West,  Facult\    .\dvisor. 


"Footprints  in  tiic  sands  of  time"  is  perhaps 
a  more  meaningful  theme  for  the  Phi  Psi  Cli 
stafl"  than  to  many  viewers  of  this  book.  Indeed, 
footsteps  define  the  journeys  up  three  flights  of 
stairs  to  the  staff's  office  in  Carlton  Building; 
ground  has  been  well  covered  while  securing 
data;  and  time  has  made  its  priority  felt, 
as  it  always  does  for  any  project  worth  carrying 
out.  Don't  get  the  wrong  idea,  though,  that 
the    work    has    not    been    highly    interesting. 


profftable,  and  memorable  in  many  ways — 
on  the  contrary,  the  editors  ha\e  found  their 
task  has  certainly  repaid  them  with  information 
and  experience.  The  staff"  has  been  glad  to  get 
at  least  a  little  bit  better  acquainted  with  you 
who  are  now  looking  at  the  book,  for  inevitably 
the  information  and  pictures  that  have  passed 
through  their  hands  has  helped  them  to  know- 
more  about  the  many  projects  and  events  that 
have  occurred  on  Elon's  campus.

The  Colonnades 

After  a  busy  year  for  all  of  us,  it  is  always  good  to 
rest  a  while  and  catch  up  on  the  latest  ventures  into 
creative  writing  that  the  Colonnades  offers.  This  is  the 
annual  magazine  of  college  writing.  It  includes  an 
interesting  collection  of  the  year's  outstanding  prose 
and  poetry  selections.  The  editor,  Curtis  Welborne, 
and  advisor.  Professor  West,  have  worked  hard  to 
make  this  year's  issue  a  success.

\\c  now  enter  the  realm  of  those  who  will 
be  the  teachers  of  tomorrow.  Known  also  as 
the  Future  Teachers  of  America,  the  Edu- 
cation Club  is  aOiliated  with  the  National 
Education  Association  and  the  N.  C.  Edu- 
cation Association.  Membership  is  extended 
to  students  who  plan  to  enter  the  teachino; 
lie  Id. 


The  ('lub  striws  to  instill  in  its  members  a 
desire  for  cultivating  in  them.selves  those 
c]ualities  which  are  neces.sary  for  successful 
teaching.  Among  the  various  activities  of  the 
Organization  are  the  attending  of  lectures  by 
outstanding  educators  and  the  making  of 
sur\'evs  of  school  svstems.

Elon  Singers 


The  Elon  Singers  welcome  anyone  who 
likes  to  sing,  who  has  an  appreciation  of  good 
music,  and  who  has  a  reasonable  sense  of 
pitch.  They  also  guarantee  that  their  or- 
ganization will  provide  a  real  test  of  one's 
musical  abilities  and  even  his  physical  en- 
durance, when,  on  tour,  he  might  find  himself 
singing   the   Messiah  three   times   in   one  day. 

It  would  seem  odd  not  to  see  this  group 
sitting  in  its  usual  place  when  we  enter  Whitley 
for  the  Sunday  morning  and  weekly  chapel 
services.  We  not  only  enjoy  hearing  the  choir 


then  but  certainly  at  its  special  programs,  such 
as  the  annual  presentation  of  the  Messiah 
(the  twentieth  this  year),  the  Easter  program, 
and  its  dramatized  version  of  Elijah — a  feature 
for  two  years  now  at  commencement. 

In  addition  there  are  other  performances 
of  the  choir  away  from  home.  Two  regular 
tours  occur  when  the  Singers  board  the  bus 
and  sing  the  Messiah  in  Eastern  Virginia 
churches  and  during  the  spring  when  they 
make    their   annual    invasion   of  Yankeeland.

We  now  enter  the  realm  of  grease  paint  and 
back  stage  confusion — the  Elon  Players.  Their 
first  production  of  January  Thaw  not  only  was 
a  great  success  on  Elon's  stage,  but  also  was 
well  received  when  the  J.  C.'s  sponsored  it  in 
Burlington.  The  second  of  the  three  pro- 
ductions was  a  suspenseful  mystery.  Double 
Door. 


"On  the  Air"  the  Players  presented  several 
half-hour  productions  beginning  the  season 
with  .-1  Christmas  Carol  and  Thr  House  of  Seven 
Gables. 

Filled  with  plenty  of  work  for  all,  the  Players 
can  well  put  52-53  down  as  another  successful 
year.

Though  there  are  some  footsteps  not  heard  many  representatives  of  this  group  who  have 

as  often  on  the  campus  as  those  of  the  resident  demonstrated    their    real    interest    in    college 

students,   they  nevertheless  iiclong   to  a  large  activities.    This    organization    is    in    fact    the

Those  among  us  who  enjoy  writing  letters  of  business  or  aspire

Epsilon,  this  organization  serves  to  mix  business  with  pleasure  for 
the  benefit  of  students  taking  one  or  two  year  secretarial  courses. 

Taking  the  liberty  now  of  making  oursehcs  one  of  the  group,  let's 
see  just  w^hat  they  do.  We  discover  the  club's  most  important  aspect 
lies  in  its  duty  to  help  stimulate  the  atmosphere  of  a  business  office  in 
the  classroom,  this  being  done  through  sponsorship  of  demonstrations 
of  modern  office  equipment,  and  also  through  inspection  tours  of 
various  business  organizations.  The  club  meets  weekly,  and  one 
meeting  a  month  features  a  dinner  with  guest  speakers  and  enter- 
tainers  who   pro\ide   enlightenment   and   enjoyment   for   the   group.

For  those  planning  a  vocation  in  religious 
work,  the  Elon  College  Student  Ministerial 
Association  offers  opportunities  for  de\'elop- 
ment  of  experience  for  future  work  through 
its  regular  meeting  and  the  u.seful  projects 
that  it  sponsors.  Since  we  are  interested  in 
finding  out  what  goes  on  in  one  of  the  weekly 
meetings  of  the  Association,  or  one  of  its 
projects,  let's  step  inside  their  meeting  room 
one    night    as    Sam    Nelson    presides.    A    de- 


votional meeting  led  by  a  student  is  the 
important  part  of  the  meeting,  and  when 
business  is  brought  up,  we  find  such  projects 
discussed  as  the  one  carried  out  this  past  year 
when  a  series  of  worship  services  at  the  Ala- 
mance County  Tuberculosis  Sanatorium  were 
sponsored  by  this  Association.  Plans  are  also 
underway  for  a  proposed  merger  with  the 
National  Kappa  Chi  Fellowship,  which  is  a 
ministerial  fraternal  organization.

On  Sunday  tncnings  our  footsteps  may  have 
led  us  to  the  Parish  House,  where  we  are 
ahvays  welcome  for  the  Student  Fellowship 
meeting.  This  is  the  regular  meeting  of  the 
Student  Christian  Association,  an  organization 
stres.sing  Christianity  in  action  and  open  to 
membership  to  anyone.  These  meetings  begin 
informally  with  a  supper  session  of  "sacks" 
and  "Cokes,"  followed  afterwards  by  a  de- 
votional service  in  "The  Upper  Room,"  and 
brought   to   a  close   by   the   program  for   the 


evening.  The  devotional  services  this  year  have 
been  particularly  noteworthy  and  inspiring  to 
all;  this  feature  is  one  result  of  the  work  by 
one  of  the  three  committees  that  carry  out 
some  of  the  projects  of  the  S.C.A.  Other 
projects  and  special  features  are,  for  example, 
the  Monday  and  Wednesday  evening  times  of 
prayer,  the  Loan  Fund,  sponsorship  of  certain 
chapel  programs,  and  the  always  well-attended 
retreats.  Many  thanks  are  due  Mr.  Bozarth, 
college  pastor,  who  has  been  our  guiding  light.

We  are  all  well  acquainted  with  inlbnnation

opportunity  of  participating  in  a  fashion  show, 
of  cooking  up  what  he  considers  to  be  a  real 
luncheon    for    Elon    C'ollege    trustees,    or    of 


taking  part  in  still  other  projects  such  as  the

Cheerleaders 


As  no  one  can  refute  the  importance  of  a 
conductor  for  a  band  or  choir,  so  one  can  not 
help  seeing  that  there  should  be  direction  to 
any  mass  exercise  if  it  is  to  achie\e  its  purpose. 
That  is  why  at  a  sports  event  we  find  that  the 
good,  hearty  yelling  for  our  team  is  best  done 
through  the  direction  of  our  cheerleaders. 
They  are   the  ones  who  help  uy   to  give   the 


team  real  backing,  and  when  we  spot  these 
cheer-getters  down  in  front  of  the  crowd,  let's 
get  behind  them  with  some  real  support ! 

We  should  not  forget  in  passing  that  one 
of  the  cheerleading  highlights  of  the  year  was 
the  splendid  demonstration  by  a  ''professional" 
who  holds  three  degrees,  in  Business  Arts,  and 
whose  initials  are  Jack  Brashear.

COACH  "DOC"  MATHIS 

Likable  "Doc"  Mathis  is  anticipating  his  fifth 
consecutive  year  as  assistant  football  coach  and 
head  basketball  coach  at  Elon  in  1953.  Mathis, 
who  starred  in  football,  basketball  and  baseball  at 
Davidson  College,  began  his  coaching  career  at 
Kinston  High  and  later  served  at  Eastern  Carolina 
C'ollege  and  Catawba  College.  He  came  to  Elon 
in  1949  and  immediately  developed  one  of  the 
finest  forward  walls  in  the  North  State  grid  history. 

His  basketball  teams  have  always  given  worthy 
accounts  of  themselves  in  victory  or  defeat.  Last 
year  Mathis  and  his  Christian  quintet  brought 
national  recognition  to  themselves  and  to  the 
College  in  participating  in  the  N.A.LB.  tourney 
at  Kansas  City.  Wc  at  Elon  College  are  proud  of 
you,  "Doc"  Mathis.  Keep  up  the  fine  work. 

COACH  J.  L.  PIERCE 

Although  Coach  Pierce  doesn't  directly  coach 
any  major  sport,  he  very  often  lends  his  capable 
and  efficient  assistance  on  the  practice  field.  He 
came  to  Elon  in  1942  and,  from  his  post  of  Director 
of  Athletics,  heads  all  varsity  sports  and  a  splendid 
physical  education  and  intramural  program  at 
Elon  College.  Originally  from  High  Point,  Coach 
Pierce  played  four  years  of  \arsity  football,  basket- 
ball, and  baseball  at  High  Point  College.  Before 
coming  to  Elon,  he  did  successful  stints  as  high 
school  coach  at  Belmont,  Aulander  and  Scotland 
High. 

The  physical  education  .system  under  the  di- 
rection of  Coach  Pierce  is  one  of  the  finest  in  the 
State,  and  the  program  of  Intramural  athletics  is 
conducted  with  the  object  of  pro\iding  one  or  more 
activities  in  which  each  student  is  interested. 


JIM  MALLORY,  Head  Coach 

Jim  Mallory  will  again  direct  Elon's  football 
fortunes  for  the  sixth  straight  year  in  1953. 
After  a  year  on  the  Carolina  coaching  staff  in 
1941-1942,  Jim  went  to  Catawba  as  an  as- 
sistant in  all  sports  and  followed  with  a  suc- 
cessful high  school  coaching  career  at  Junior 
Order  Home  of  Lexington  and  at  Burlington 
High  School. 

In  the  spring  of  1948  Elon  was  fortunate  in 
obtaining  the  services  of  Jim  Mallory  as  head 
football  and  baseball  coach.  Despite  the  poor 
3-6-1  football  record  of  the  1952  season  his 
overall  record  since  coming  to  Elon  is  a 
creditable  28-18-3. 

Considered  by  many  as  an  authority  on  the 
single  wing.  Coach  Mallory  will  forsake  that 
formation  in  favor  of  the  inore  spectacular 
split  "T"  in  1953.  Regardless  of  what  for- 
mation he  elects  to  run,  we  know  that  the 
team   will   be   well-drilled   and   well-coached. 


Fighting  Christians 


The  Fighting  Christians  football  aggregation 
of  1952  opened  its  campaign  with  the  prospect 
of  hax'ing  the  greatest  offensi\-e  team  ever 
displayed  by  a  Mallory-coached  Elon  eleven. 
With  the  eligibility  of  John  Piatt,  big  fullback, 
Elon  was  given  the  offensive  rushing  threat 
needed  to  combine  with  the  brilliant  passing 
of  Lou  Roshelli. 

Howe\er,  game  after  game,  our  offense  was 
crippled  as  Piatt,  Roshelli.  Peters,  Male,  and 
Reid  joined  a  host  of  others  on  the  injured  list. 

Despite  these  disheartening  injuries  to  key 
men,  the  Fighting  Christians  managed  to  gi\'e 
accounts  of  themsehes  that  were  worthy  of 
the  teams  they  played. 

With  the  bringing  down  of  the  curtain  on  the 
1952  football  season,  fourteen  Fighting  Chris- 
tians say  farewell  to  college  football  compe- 
tition. Lou  Roschelli,  Carroll  Reid,  Joe  Durso, 
Bob  Rogers,  Jack  Christy.  Charlie  Atkins,  Bill 
Blackstone,    Mike    Moffo.    Bryce    Hurd,    Bill 


Renn,  Fred  Biangardi,  Fred  Burmeister, 
"Sheepy"  Peters,  and  Al  Ludwig  all  have 
completed  football  careers  for  the  Maroon  and 
Gold. 

With  the  employing  of  the  two  platoon 
system  it  is  very  difficult  to  give  recognition  to 
all.  Generally  it  is  the  fellow  scoring  the 
touchdowns  who  receives  all  the  credit,  but 
it  is  worthwhile  to  remember  that  the  de- 
fensive unit — headed  by  such  stalwarts  as  Joe 
Widdifield,  J.  C.  Disher,  Nat  Burwell,  Charlie 
Atkins,  Bob  Rogers,  Carroll  Reid,  Joe  Durso. 
Bryce  Hurd.  Dick  Smith,  Bill  Renn,  and 
George  Stewart — showed  one  of  the  finest 
records  e\er  displayed  by  an  Elon  defensi\'e 
unit. 

The  Phi  Psi  Cli  joins  with  the  entire  student 
body  to  pay  special  tribute  to  All-Conference 
award  winners,  Al  Ludwig,  Mike  Moffo,  and 
Lou  Roschelli.  To  these  representatives  of  Elon 
we  say  "Thanks"  for  a  job  well  done.

ELON  0,  NORFOLK  NAVY  0 
The  Christians  opened  their  ten-game  season 
in  Norfolk,  Virginia,  against  the  powerful 
Navy  Flyers  on  September  19.  The  game  ended 
in  a  scoreless  tie.  Neither  team  could  muster  a 
sustained  offensive  threat,  as  two  fighting 
defensive  lines  rose  up  to  smack  down  the  ball 
carriers  with  gusto  and  vim.  The  combined 
offensive  efforts  of  both  teams  netted  136 
yards,  with  Elon  accounting  for  83  yards 
running  and  passing. 

ELON  0,  WOFFORD  20 

Although  Elon  led  the  Wofford  Terriers  in 
total  ground  gain  and  outpointed  the  South 
Carolina  outfit  in  first  downs,  the  Fighting 
Christians  continued  to  miss  their  scoring 
punch  and  were  unable  to  break  into  the 
touchdown  column  as  they  bowed  to  an  alert 
Terrier  eleven  by  20  to  0  score  in  a  battle 
played  in  Spartanburg,  South  Carolina,  on 
Friday  night,  September  26. 

Charlie  Jones  of  the  Terriers  scored  the 
first  of  their  three  touchdowns  from  six  yards 
out,  concluding  a  sustained  drive  of  43  yards. 
The  next  touchdown  came  as  a  result  of  a 
recovered  fumble  in  the  Elon  end  zone  by  a 
Wofford  linesman.  The  final  score  came  in  the 
waning  seconds  of  the  ball  game  when  an 
Elon  pass  was  intercepted  by  halfback  George 
Lawrence  who  scooted  7  yards  into  the  end 
zone. 

ELON  13,  APPALACHIAN  7 

With  the  return  of  the  "Bay  Shore  Bull- 
dozer," Fred  Biangardi,  who  missed  the  first 
two  games,  a  rejuvenated  Christain  eleven 
staged  a  brilliant  second  half  comeback  to 
defeat  the  slightly  favored  Appalachian  Moun- 
taineers 13-7  at  Boone,  North  Carolina  on 
October  4. 

The  Mountaineers  took  the  lead  early  in 
the  first  quarter  as  All-Conference  back  Groce 
tallied  from  three  yards  out.  But  from  that 
point  on  the  game  was  completely  dominated 
by  Elon.  Bill  Blackstone,  after  taking  a  pass 
from  Lou  Rochelli  on  the  enemy  fifteen, 
lateraled  to  John  Piatt,  who  went  the  remain- 
ing distance  to  score.  The  extra  point  attempt 
failed,  and  Appalachian  led  7-6.  A  few  minutes 
later  Lou  Rochelli  passed  to  John  Piatt  in 
the  end  zone  for  what  proved  to  be  the  winning 
touchdown    in    a    thrilling   conference    battle. 

ELON  9,  EAST  CAROLINA  25 
East  Carolina,  which  had  never  beaten 
Elon  College  football  team,  added  a  sour  note 
to  Elon's  Homecoming  festivities  by  surging 
from  behind  in  the  last  half  to  down  the 
Fighting  C^hristians  25-9  at  Memorial  Stadium 
on  October  1 1 . 

Elon  went  into  a  short  lived  9-0  lead  early 
in  the  ball  game.  Joe  Widdifield,  Elon\s 
outstanding  tackle,  broke  through  the  Pirate 
line  and  tossed  halfback  Paul  Gay  in  the  East 


C'arolina  end  zone  for  a  safety  and  a  2-0  lead 
for  Elon.  The  touchdown  was  added  moments 
later  as  Lou  Rochelli  passed  to  John  Piatt  in 
the  end  zone.  Goly  Gattis  added  the  extra 
point   and    that   ended   Elon's   scoring. 

Freshman  quarterback.  Dick  Gherry  of  the 
Pirates  passed  for  two  touchdowns  and  ran 
for  another  to  lead  his  teammates  to  the 
much-coveted  victory. 

ELON  28,  LITTLE  GREEK  25 
With  tailback  Lou  Rochelli  pacing  the 
attack,  the  Fighting  Ghristains  of  Elon  over- 
came a  four  point  deficit  in  the  waning  minutes 
of  the  game  to  defeat  an  offensive-minded 
Little  Greek  team  28-25  in  a  thrilling  inter- 
sectional  battle  at  Memorial  Stadium  on 
October  18. 

After  leading  most  of  the  way.  the  Ghristians 
found  themselves  on  the  short  end  of  a  25-21 
score  midway  of  the  final  quarter,  and  the 
margin  of  victory  came  on  a  touchdown  play 
from  the  Navy  six-yard  line,  with  Rochelli 
passing  to  Jim  Tutterow  in  the  end  zone. 

Rochelli  passed  for  three  touchdowns  and 
set  up  the  fourth  to  spark  the  Ghristians  to 
victory.  The  slender  tailback  completed  9  out 
of  12  aerial  attempts,  six  of  them  con.secutively, 
for  a  total  of  148  yards,  and  carried  12  times 
for  48  yards  for  a  grand   total  of  196  yards. 

ELON  0,  GATAVVBA  12 
It  took  the  combination  of  a  field  goal, 
touchdown  and  a  safety  in  that  order  for  the 
Indians  to  break  the  four  year  dominance  of 
the  Ghristians  in  this  Annual  North  State 
grid  epic  on  Saturday  night.  October  25. 
Harvey  Stratten  of  the  Indians  began  the 
scoring  when  he  split  the  uprights  from  13 
yards  out  to  put  the  boys  from  Salisbury  ahead 
?>-()  midway  in  the  second  period.  The  Gatawba 
touchdown  was  provided  by  an  Elon  fumble 
on  the  Ghristian  21-yard  line.  Bill  Kluttz 
capped  the  drive  with  a  seven-yard  touchdown 
run.  In  the  final  seconds  of  the  game  Jim 
Tutterow,  replacing  the  injured  Rochelli, 
attempted  a  pass  and  was  tackled  in  his  own 
end  zone  for  the  .safety  and  final  .score  of  the 
night. 

ELON  0,  WESTERN  GAROLINA  12 
The  Gatamount  victory  was  the  first  for  the 
mountain  eleven  in  the  long  history  of  the 
Elon-Western  Garolina  .series,  and  it  was  also 
the  first  North  .State  Gonference  win  of  the 
year  for  the  winners.  As  in  the  previous  gam<" 
against  C!atawba,  the  Ghristians  were  minus 
their  regular  tailback  and  fullback,  Lou  Ro- 
chelli and  John  Piatt. 

An  Elon  fumble  on  her  own  45  set  up  the 
first  Gatamount  touchdown,  with  Fred  Henry 
pile-driving  from  the  two-yard  line.  The  final 
tally  came  after  a  sustained  drive  of  66  yards, 
climaxed  by  Bob  Moore's  end  sweep  into  the 
Elon  end  zone.  J.  G.  Disher  and  Bubba  Barnes 


turned  in  some  sterling  work  at  the  defensive 
ends. 

ELON  20,  NEWBERRY  14 

Elon,  after  failing  to  score  in  her  two  pre\ious 
games,  broke  loose  for  three  touchdowns  and 
a  big  victory  over  Newberry,  which  .set  the 
stage  for  the  next  week's  game  against  the 
all-powerful  Lenoir  Rhyne. 

After  a  combination  of  three  first  downs 
brought  the  ball  to  the  Newberry  21,  Lou 
Rochelli  passed  to  Joe  Parker  in  the  end  zone 
for  the  first  score  of  the  game.  The  Ghristians 
made  it  a  two-touchdown  lead  minutes  later 
as  Don  Grafi  broke  loose  for  the  longest  run 
of  the  night — 71  yards  to  pay  dirt.  The  last 
Ghristian  touchdown,  which  proved  to  be  the 
deciding  score,  came  midway  through  the 
fourth  quarter.  Joe  Parker,  on  a  reverse,  went 
all  the  way— 25  yards  to  climax  a  65-yard 
drive. 

ELON  7.  LENOIR  RHYNE  59 

Although  the  Fighting  Ghristians  were  "up" 
for  this  game,  the  final  analysis  proved  that 
the  mighty  Lenoir  Bears  of  1952  were  the 
greatest  team  ever  as.sembled  by  a  North 
Gonference  school. 

The  touchdown  barrage  was  on  before  the 
partisan  Elon  crowd  could  get  comfortable. 
A  Rochelli  pass  completed  to  Bill  Blackstone 
was  fumbled  and  bounced  into  the  grasp  of 
Bob  Sherrill,  Bear  end.  who  went  thirty  yards 
for  the  first  of  nine  Lenoir  Rhyne  touchdowns. 
Driving  with  dogged  determination,  the  Fight- 
ing Ghristians  scored  their  only  touchdown 
and  were  momentarily  in  the  lead  7-6.  Then 
the  Bears  broke  loose  with  one  touchdown 
after  another  to  lead  at  half  time  26-7.  It  was 
the  same  in  the  second  half,  and  Lenoir  Rhyne 
captured  it's  thirteenth  victory  in  a  row  by 
defeating  the  Elon  Ghristians  59  to  7. 

ELON  14,  GUILFORD  17 
Elon  was  fa\ored  to  win.  The  Quakers 
hadn't  won  a  game  all  year,  but  one  would 
hardly  realize  it  once  the  game  got  underway. 
On  the  third  play  from  scrimmage  Gurt 
Hege  broke  loose  and  went  61  yards  for  a 
touchdown.  Hege  duplicated  this  run  late  in 
the  second  period,  making  the  score  14-0.  How- 
ever, with  seconds  remaining  in  the  half,  Jim 
Tutterow  pas.scd  to  Gene  William?  for  41  yards 
and  21  yards  on  successi\e  plays  to  the 
Guilford  4,  from  where  Fred  Biangardi  bulled 
for  the  touchdown.  The  half  ended  14-7  as 
Goly  Gattis'  conversion  for  the  extra  point 
was  good. 

In  the  third  period  Reuben  Slade  kicked  a 
13  yard  field  goal  which  was  :o  decide  the 
outcome  of  the  contest.  Elon  scored  her  second 
touchdown  with  one  minute  remaining  as 
Tuttenjw  threw  a  strike  into  the  waiting  arms 
of  Mai  Bennett,  who  raced  into  the  Guilford 
end  zone.  Gattis  again  converted  and  the 
.score  remained  17-14.

The  Fighting  Christian  basketball  team  of  1952-53  can 
rightfully  claim  that  it  was  one  of  the  fightingest  squads  in 
Elon's  .sports  history.  The  name  "Fighting"  certainly  is  ap- 
propriate for  this  group  of  athletes  representing  Elon  College. 
Three  times  the  Christians  had  to  overcome  discouragement 
and  obstacles  in  the  face  of  important  conference  games,  at- 
tempting to  maintain  their  fight  for  conference  honors.  The 
loss  of  pivot  Bob  Burgess,  a  transfer  from  Wake  Forest,  indeed 
weakened  the  club.  On  the  heels  of  that  blow,  two-time  All- 
Stater  Ben  Kendall  was  lost  for  the  remainder  of  the  season. 
Last  and  hardly  least,  an  earlier  victory  against  Atlantic 
Christian  while  Bob  Burgess  played  was  protested  by  Atlantic 
Christian  and  immediately  forfeited  by  Elon.  Despite  these 
extenuating  circumstances,  the  Fighting  Christians  ended  the 
conference  season  tied  for  second  place  with  1 1  wins  and  5 
losses,  a  record  any  North  State  Conference  .school  would  be 
proud  to  claim.  The  Elon  cagers  boasted  an  overall  24-12 
record  for  the  entire  sea.son,  including  three  post  .sea.son  games. 

High  scoring  honors  go  to  Dee  Atkin.son  with  512  points, 
followed  by  Jack  Malloy  478,  Ben  Kendall  .383,  Bill  Hawkins 
337  and  Jack  Musten  236. 

We  of  Elon  College  and  especially  the  staff  of  the  Phi  Psi 
Cli  wish  to  acknowledge  not  tjnly  the  en\iable  record  of  this 
squad,  but  also  the  attitude  and  conduct  employed  throughout 
the  season.   We  certainly  are   proud    to  claim   it   as  our  own.

Elon's  Diamond  Stars 


For  the  first  time  in  four  years  the  Fighting  Christians  base- 
ball squad  of  1952  failed  to  claim  the  diamond  championship 
in  the  North  State  Conference.  The  Christians  had  swept 
through  the  Eastern  Division  of  the  conference  to  win  the 
divisional  title  and  the  right  to  meet  the  Lenoir  Rhyne  Bears, 
winners  of  the  Western  Division,  to  decide  the  winner  of  the 
conference  flag. 

Coach  Troy  Washam's  Bears  combined  some  terrific  hitting 
with  airtight  pitching  to  cop  the  title  series  in  two  straight 
games. 

Elon  won  12  out  of  15  conference  games  and  had  an  overall 
record  of  16  wins  and  12  losses,  two  of  the  losses  sustained  in 
the  Conference  Tournament. 

The  freshman-studded  Elon  nine  came  through  in  fine  style 
as  it  displayed  potent  hitting  power  and  fielding  in  veteran 
for  in. 

Seven  pitchers  divided  mound  duties  during  the  year,  led  by 
Sherrill  Hall  and  Luther  Conger,  followed  by  Carlton  Roberts, 
Richard  Smith,  Charles  Swicegood,  Billy  Byrd  and  Ronny 
Mclntyre.  Behind  the  plate.  Jack  Musten  and  Bob  Jones 
performed  notably.  The  play  of  the  infield  was  superb,  with 
Captain  Billy  Rakes  at  short.  Freshman  Jimmy  Dalton  at 
second,  Ben  Kendall  and  Henry  Perry  alternating  at  third, 
and  Gene  Laughlin  at  first.  The  outfield  was  headed  by  Carroll 
Reid  in  right  field,  Bobby  Stewart  in  center  field,  Bobby 
Rogers  and  Don  Packard  in  left  field,  and  Larry  DoflHemyer 
performing  ably  as  utility  man.

The  Fighting  Christians'  rackct-wielders  of 
1952  did  not  take  any  net  honors,  but  their 
determination  and  will  to  win  served  notice  to 
their  North  State  competitors  to  beware  of 
the  groundwork  they  were  laying  for  future 
Elon  tennis  teams.  Those  earning  letters  were 
Captain  Frank  Tingley,  Charlie  Johnson, 
Johnie  Howell,  Bill  Blackstone,  Page  Painter, 
Bob  Peters,  and  Hiram  Greene.

Golf 


After  winning  but  one  game  in  1931,  the 
Fighting  Christian  Golf  Team  of  1952  made 
a  complete  about  face  by  sweeping  through 
eight  straight  Conference  matches  during  the 
regular  season  schedule  to  clinch  the  North 
State  title.  The  Maroon  and  Gold  linksters 
added  to  their  honors  by  winning  the  team 
championship  in  the  annual  Conference  tour-

Girls'  Sports 


That  Elon  has  a  well-rounded  sports  pro- 
gram for  girls  can  be  seen  from  the  hockey 
shoe  prints  and  the  various  other  evidences  of 
girls'  sports  on  the  campus.  Archery  for  skill, 
volleyball  for  co-ordination,  and  riding  for 
the  figure  is  Elon's  way  of  turning  out  healthy, 
"well-rounded"  girls. 

The  intramural  girls'  volleyball  league  is 
always  a  sure   bet  for   hot   competition. 


"Tumbling  for  the  tummy,"  .some  might 
.say.  But  these  girls  do  their  tumbling  for  fun. 

Sometimes  the  fellows  think  they  have  all 
the  fun  in  the  sports  parade,  but  many  an 
Elon  lassie  would  take  exception  to  that  and 
call  forth  much  happiness  as  an  exponent  of 
many  happy  times  on  the  field  of  play. 

We  take  this  opportunity  to  thank  Mi.ss 
Haley  for  a  job  well  done. 


Women's 

Athletic 

Association 


Our  journey  now  leads  us  to  the 
realm  of  the  Women's  Athletic  As- 
sociation, co-ordinator  of  girls' 
sports  on  campus.  The  Women's 
Athletic  Association  plans  and  di- 
rects the  recreational  acti\ities  for 
the  Elon  woman.  It  endeaxors  to 
make  every  new  student  feel  at 
home  whether  she  participates  in 
sports  or  not.  By  uriting  ap- 
proximately 100  letters  to  new- 
students  which  include  a  word  of 

ad\ice  and  some  information  about  Elon,  the  W.A.A.  makes  itself  well-known  to  the  Freshmen.  The 
old  members  stand  by.  ready  to  help  any  younger  sister  who  needs  a  friend.  It  is  the  aim  of  the 
W.A.A.  to  tie  the  recreational  needs  of  each  woman  into  a  well-integrated  program  of  college  life. 


Men's  Intramural  Council 


1  he  Men's  Intramural  Council 
serves  as  the  advisory  group  for  the 
intramural  director  and  his  staflT.  and 
is  composed  of  representatives  from 
all  dormitories,  fraternities,  and  day 
student  groups. 

■"Exeryone  loxes  to  play,"  was  the 
slogan  of  the  1953  Men's  Intramural 
Council.  Touch-football,  volleyball. 
Softball,  tennis,  and  ping  pong  were 
among  the  activities  governed  by  the 
Council. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  year  the 
Council  presented  trophies  to  the 
winnin"   teams  and   individuals.

Intramurals 


A  broad  program  of  intramural  athletics  is 
conducted  at  Elon  College  with  the  purpose  of 
providing  healthful  activities  and  recreation 
for  the  entire  student  body.  The  objccti\e  of

Homecoming  at  Elon 


We  can't  help  recalling  one  day  of  the 
school  year,  when  there  was  more  than  the 
usual  hustle  and  bustle  on  the  campus,  when 
there  was  an  influx  of  more  than  the  usual 
number  of  Elonites  at  the  college,  and  when 
there  was  a  high  pitch  of  excitement  in  the 
air,  that  day  was  Homecoming,  1952. 

If  we  can  imagine  ourselves  back  again  in 
that  busy  week  end,  let  us  first  picture  ourselves 
as  we  help  to  set  the  ball  rolling  and  join  the 
wonderful  turnout  for  the  dance  in  the  Alumni 


Memorial  Gymnasium.  There,  as  we  quietly 
sway  to  the  strains  of  the  music,  supplied  by 
the  Rifis,  we  eagerly  await  the  coronation 
festivities  that  will  provide  the  important 
attraction  for  the  evening.  It  is  a  proud  sight 
to  see  the  sponsors  and  their  escorts  gathered 
around  the  central  pair,  when  the  Homecoming 
Queen  is  crowned. 

The  following  morning  we  stroll  around  and 
find  everyone  feverishly  hammering,  tacking, 
and  pasting  up  decorations  on  their  respectixe

dormitories  to  welcome  the  Alumni.  This  year 
West  dormitory  walked  off  with  the  first  prize 
for  best  decorations.  East  being  a  very  close 
runner-up.  Then  comes  the  great  parade,  and 
although  all  of  us  may  not  have  actually 
taken  part  in  it,  we  were  all  represented  there. 
This  was  the  largest  parade  Elon  has  ever  had. 


That  night  the  Homecoming  events  were 
brought  to  a  smashing  cliniax  with  the  football 
game,  in  which  Elon  and  East  Carolina  fought 
it  out.  Even  though  we  lost  the  game,  Home- 
coming was  a  great  success,  and  as  always, 
far  greater  than  ever  before. 


West   Dormitory,   winner   of  the   award 
for  the  best  decorations.

May  Day 
1953 

As  they  do  every  year,  out  footsteps  brought 
us  through  another  colorful  and  gay  May 
Day.  This  day  of  festival  on  the  Elon  campus 
was  climaxed  by  the  crowning  of  the  May 
Queen.  The  Royal  Clourt  was  elected  by  the 
student  body  in  the  fall  of  1952,  and  since 
that  time  preparations  had  been  under  way 
for  the  gala  event.  Where  our  feet  trod  that 
day,  fond  memories  were  planted.

The  Phi  Psi  Cjj  is  proud  to  present  a  special 
feature  of  this  yearbook !  We  introduce  Miss 
Elonof  1953. 

Each  of  the  four  classes  at  Elon  nominated 
two  girls  as  their  choices  for  the  prettiest  girls 
of  the  class.  Then,  at  the  Christmas  Dance, 
these  candidates  were  presented  to  a  panal 
of  three  judges,  and  one  beauty  from  each 
class  chosen  to  stand  for  the  final  selection. 
Incidentally,  all  were  Day  Students:  Shirley 
Cox.  Freshman:  Natalie  Toms.  Sophomore: 
Betty  Thompson.  Junior:  and  Betty  \'an 
Sharpe.  .Senior. 


The  most  important  moment  arri\ed  when 
photographs  of  each  of  the  girls  were  sub- 
mitted to  Kay  Kyser,  nationally  known 
dance  band  leader  and  now  at  Chapel  Hill. 
In  his  hands  rested  the  final  choice. 

Those  of  us  who  have  been  leafing  through 
old  annuals  ha\e  noticed  how  each  organiza- 
tion on  the  campus  proudly  presented  its  own 
sponsor.  All  of  us  know  that  pretty  girls 
enhance  any  publication,  and  so  the  Phi  Psi 
Cli  staff  takes  pleasure  in  adding  four  more 
special  beauties  to  the  pages  of  this  book.

School  teacher's  wife:  "Alonzo,  wake  up!  There 
are  burglars  in  the  house." 

A.:  "Well,  what  of  it?  Let  them  find  out  their 
mistake  themselves." 

'T  send  you  a  rose  for  every  beautiful  year,"  Gary 
Sears  wrote  to  the  object  of  his  affections  on  her  nine- 
teenth birthday. 

In  appreciation  of  his  patronage,  the  florist  doubled 
the  order  without  consulting  Gary.  And  now  he  wonders 
why  he  never  heard  from  her  again. 

Bob  and  Ted  started  for  the  ball  park  on  time,  but 
they  kept  dropping  into  places  for  inward  refreshments. 
By  the  time  they  found  themselves  in  the  stands,  three 
quarters  had  been  played  and  the  score  stood  Elon  0; 
Catawba  0. 

"Gosh,  we  haven't  missed  anything  at  all,  have  we?" 
said  Bob  to  Ted. 

Realism  in  art  makes  for  more  wholesome  standards, 
Steve  Cole  was  contending. 

"Exactly,"  said  Cooper  Walker,  "only  time  I  ever 
cared  to  be  a  saint  was  when  I  saw  'The  Temptation 
of  Saint  Anthony'." 

Ambitious  young  Reuben  Askew  advertised,  "Your 
baby,  if  you  have  one,  can  be  enlarged,  tinted,  and 
framed  for  $8.79."

"Daddy,"  said  the  little  Pierce  boy,  "What  do  they 
mean  by  college  bred?  Is  it  different  from  any  other 
kind  of  bread?" 

"My  son,"  said  the  father,  "it  is  a  four-year's  loaf." 

Holland  Taylor  had  his  check  returned,  marked  "No 
Funds." 

"Some  bank."  was  his  retort,  "not  to  have  twenty- 
five  dollars  on  hand." 

"You  almost  struck  that  pedestrian!" 
"I  don't  care,"  blurted  "Little  Bit"  Hayes,  "I  don't 
have  time  now  to  go  back  and  try  again." 

Quite  thoughtfully,  Nancy  Rauseo  asked  her  husband 
Mike  what  they  should  buy  for  the  happy  young  Hol- 
lands living  next  to  them  in  the  Vet's  Apartments  for  a 
Christmas  present. 

Mike  said,  "I'll  tell  you  what  let's  do!  Let's  pick 
them  out  eleven  phonograph  records  and  then  they'll 
have  an  even  dozen!" 

"Dear  Friends:     I  will  not  address  you  as  ladies  and
