The Hilltop, Mars Hill College, Mars Hill, Ni Ci Page 3 The Literary Societies CLIO As clear and as certain as of old he Clio spirit rings true aiready. In he rush, hurry, and bustle of getting tarted, we pause for an afternoon of lure joy, relaxation and entertain- aent. The very walls of our own hall —'reathe a welcome to the old and new _tudents alike. Wo begin with great ^thusiasm for a very successful year f literary work and joyful fellowship o with another. Though the Clio society stands for e purely literary development, the ep, the joyful, the light, and the y all have a place on the program, jorms of music, art, reading and de nting are included. In our first pro- ram for the year is shown the state- ’ dignity of Longfellow’s "Hiawatha” jantomined by a group of girls. The —iuslc played by the Misses Hamby nd Sallie Warren gave just the right >uch of softness and gentleness. In Iva Ensley’s vocal solo 1s found the gOignancy of the Indian’s love song, /^hile the humorous and gay strain of Buying a Feller,” by Ruth Barrs, com- leted the various phases of the first rogram. ' PHILOMATHIAN On Friday night, September 10, 1926 le Philomathians gave their first pro- “Tam of the year to a hall packed with "lose who were students at Mars Hill and loyal members of that society with t'ose who are now in the luster of so- ,^ioty ambition and with those who are aon to find their places in one of the me-honored organizations of our be- hved school. We bid all young men if the school a welcome to our num- j;3r and opportunities. Best wishes at- jiDd those who join our fellow Euth- iana. '^We feel that the year holds a great is for us, and we plan to fill it ■acces„ „„„ , „„ - lertth interesting and instructive pro j.jfams. We have a sincere desire that lose who join us will lend freely to le work and avail themselves of the PPortunties to be used and not abused. one united aim we pledge our jpport to our sister Clios and to our ihool in all its activities. NONPAREIL Nonpareil, unexcelled, that is what ie Word stands for and the ideal to- 'ard which the girls are working: un- Kcelled in loyalty to duty, church, shool and society. Our work has iarted well this year under the lead- rshlp of efficient officers. Tho new lembers have quickly caught the so- ■®ty spirit and are working enthus- lUstically. The programs this year are planned J train the talents of our members; o are planning original plays, poems, piano compositions. To widen our ,g_howledge of literature we are going 0 have book reviews, the lives of au- '°rs, and tho dramatization of some liort stories. To deepen our under- ending and appreciation of music, 'f. ® are studying the lives of composers some of their compositions. To our sister society and the new trls We wish you the happiest and lost successful year you’ve ever had. ^ EUTHALIAN t The Euthalian Literary Society gave ats first program of the season Sep- ivember lo, iphe program was enjoyed sty a large number of visitors, among I'hich Were several members of the fculty former students, fh ■^fter tho program was rendered, the gilsitors Were recognized; short talks, sjfhlch contained much encouragement f r®*"® given. Good material is coming d' "’1th the new students, and a most ;n^'*^®®sstui year is anticipated by the lembers of the Society. Much prep aration is being made for our -A.nnl- vusary program, which will be pre sented October 9. A cordial invitation is extended to all to be present at this occasion. VOLUNTEER BAND Happy, smiling, glowing faces, joyous hearts, Christian fellowship, prayer— that is the Volunteer band. This year it is going to make a special study of the different Foreign Mission Fields. The Home and Foreign Fields will be used to keep in touch with the pres ent activities on tho field. Later in the year extensive work will be car ried on in the surrounding churches in order to increase the interest in for eign fields. The Volunteer baud has never had a happier or brighter out look for a profitable year than this. In the bustle and rush of school ac tivities it seems that we have time to do nothing but run from one class to another. We have no time to really relax and rest but even in our busiest moments we welcome the things that help us to forget our studies for a time. The little snatches of songs that we hear whistled or sung mean a great deal to us—though often we appreciate them almost unconsciously. We haven’t been here long enough to enoy the Wednesday morning musi cal programs and the interesting talks on art, but we are looking forward to them. Miss Fleetwood’s song last week in chapel was thoroughly enjoyed by all. If an appreciative audience is what the music and art faculties wish, we can assure them that they have what they want in us. Hold Initial Meeting Of Scribleris Oub Tuesday evening, September 4, mark ed the beginning of a new year for the Scribleris Club. A very interesting and most helpful program was render ed. At the close of the meeting, the Club was then open for the transac tion of business. Mr. Mullenax, who became an hon orary member, spoke a few words in regard to the art of being a good writ er. He then expressed his gratitude in becoming a member of the Club. Every member of the Club extends him a hearty welcome. We regret to say that one of our members and teachers. Miss Gregg, is to leave us soon. She has been one of the powers in making the Club a success; may she carry with her the assurance that we wish her the most enjoyaule and most successful year of study. New students, there is only room for a few more members in the Club; here is your chance to exhibit your ability! One of the most important things that the Club has in mind is the writ ing and presentation of a play to the student body of Mars Hill College. College Organized Department Makes Great Progress The college organized department of the Sunday School is beginning this year with the largest number of classes since it was organized at Mars Hill College. There are twelve classes, the Teacher Training class, five Fidelis classes, and five Berean classes and the Ever-Faithful class. The beautiful spirit of co-operation is shown by the officers and individual members of the classes not only by the large number already enrolled, but also by the large number of one hun dred per cent pupils. This year a banner is to be awarded monthly to the brother and sister classes, Fidelis and Berean, averaging the highest grades on the eight point system. This is Indeed a challenge that Is tending toward better co-op eration between the young men’s and young women’s classes. There are many tasks yet unachieved but with such a bright outlook they can be attacked with greater zeal and courage. Dr. Johnson Makes Initial Chapel Address Just at the time when we were be ginning our year’s v/ork with heavy hearts, probably, wishing to refrain from unpleasant duties and tasks. Dr. Johnson, Editor of the Biblical Record er, in our first chapel address of the year brought to us an inspiring mes sage on "Overcoming Difficulties.” He spoke of difficulties that we at Mars Hill would have to face, as well as dif ficulties that would have to be met face to face later in our lives. The chief theme of his address, however, was of how we might be victorious over obstacles and difficulties tliat might impede our path. His point of view of the difficulty of evil thoughts and their degrading influence might well be worth our thought and delib eration. Dr. Johnson truly and inter estingly stated that there were three classes of difficulties, namely: 1. Physical. 2. Mental. 3. Moral. He read from the Scriptures the passage of the man slaying the hun gry lion in the latter’s den, and of this man’s great courage. The speaker of the hour pointed out that Daniel was an ideal difficulty-overcoming person. Dr. Johnson said that we always re ceive blessings from difficulties and the onward march to conquer them. College Senior Girls Surprise Miss Gregg With Farewell Party "How do you do. Miss Gregg, how do you do?" were the opening words of the song that greeted Miss Gregg as she entered one of the rooms in the B. S. U. building with Miss Pierce Friday afternoon. While she was ush ered by Sarah Lacy and Irene Willis, attractively dressed in rose colored dresses, to her seat which was decor ated in the class colors, rose and grey, the girls continued to sing songs of love and greeting until she recovered from the surprise which was very evi dent. The games were planned so that all joined readily in the fun of “Joining the Sunday School,” giving comical readings, and other amusing feats. But in the midst of these gaieties refresh ments were served and before the last course (all-day suckers) was finished the gdfts of love for their former class advisor were brought in. Both the boys and the girls of the 1927 Senior Class regreted to see Miss Gregg leave Sunday, September 26, for Chapel-rilil where she will be away on leave for the year. She has their love and best wishes for a happy year. Ten Commandments To Open Theatrical Season It seems that the manager could not have chosen a better picture with which to start the year than The Ten Commandments, for the moral which stands out so clearly through all the picture is exactly synonymous with the ideals of the college and uniquely har monious with the spirit of Mars Hill. It was for these reasons, no doubt, that this picture was chosen as an in troduction to Mars Hill theatrical life. We would speak for the students of Mars HjM could we express our grati tude to Dr. Wall and Mr. Sumners who are bringing to us priceless truth and inspiration in sermon and song. Dr. Zeno Wall, who is preaching twice daily at these services, was a SEE!
