Spooks and Ghost Tales
At Y. W. A. Meeting
The Science Hall had a strange and
unfamiliar air Friday night as the T.
W. A. girls assembled for their play
night. October leaves on the floor,
branches in the corners and on the
ceiling, black and gold paper decora
tions, and dim lights made it appear
to be another place. Several tall fig
ures In white robes added to this Hal
lowe’en atmosphere.
One girl Instructed the party in sev
eral ways to tell fortunes so that they
would come true. May Plemmons read
"Liittle Orphan Annie” while a ghost
rose and groaned at the proper tlme^
"and the goblins ’ll get you if you
don’t watch out.” Each tried his for-
tTin^—of course, he got the right name.
The room was in total darkness, ex
cept the light of one wee candle, while
two of the girls told true ghost stories.
Of course, we were not scared of
ghosts: but we did hurry past dark
comers on our way to our rooms.
Freshmen Have Picnic
On Saturday the C-1 Class had its
first picnic. The class assembled in
front of the auditorium at 9:30 Satur
day morning, and from there went
about two miles on the road to Ashe
ville. The spot chosen for the picnic
was a beautiful amphitheatre on the
side of the road. When the destina
tion was reached the students crowded
around the cheer leader and gave yells
for the C-1 Class. Following this,
games were played and songs were
sung: then came a short program.
After the program each student intro
duced himself to his neighbors, thus
making the atmosphere more congen
ial. Resolutions were made to faith
fully "back up” the football team, and
these were carried out at the game on
the evening of the same day.
Special mention would be made of
Wade Brown, who, during all the
merry making of the picnickers was
diligently working over the camp fire
preparing coffee. A delightful time
was had and all declared the first C-1
picnic a great success.

found ourselves about dusk in Birm
ingham, Ala. This is a city of a quar
ter of a million people, of beautiful,
prosperous and happy homes, of un
paralleled educational facilities, of
thirty thousand Baptists and ninety-
five churches. It is beautifully situ
ated in a valley almost completely sur
rounded by high mountain ranges. It
was here in this marvelous metropolis
that W6 found the greatest and truest
of Southern hospitality. The people
opened their hearts, homes, churches,
and city to us. We took possession
and they were at our service. Indeed,
we were given a royal welcome.
The conference was a great success.
It reached its highest expectations in
attendance of the students and denom
inational leaders, and in its fine spir
itual motive and enthusiasm which
dominated everything. Mars Hill Col
lege had thirty-three delegates present
and doubled its minimum quota by a
margin of three. North Carolina as a
whole exceeded its quota. There were
registered approximately fifteen hun
dred students, representing sixty-two
colleges from all over this Southland
of ours.
"Christ, Master of my generation”
proved more than a happy slogan. For
the whole conference was earnest in
their efforts to translate that slogan
into fruitful life and service into what
ever field of work that God might open
up to them. So while the conference
was Idealistic in its tone it was prac
tical in its plan and purpose. The con
ference was uplifting and deeply in
spiring. Words alone cannot express
the wonderful spirit and emotional
feelings created.
But all good things cannot continue
forever. Life is a series of good-byes,
and it was with a little feeling of re
gret on Sunday afternoon that we bade
farewell to the city of Birmingham.
It was a very peculiar feeling. It was
sorrow mingled with gladness. We
were rejoicing over the blessings snd
benefits derived from the conference,
lamenting over the fact of parting with
the other colleges, yet happily and
cheerfully looking forward to the re
turn to our own dear Alma Mater.
On our return trip we chose another
beautiful route, by the way of Knox
ville. Tenn. The mountains were goi-
geous and the forests were afire with
the glowing autumn cplors. The
beauty of it all was indescribable. No
artist could do Justice to those won
derful works of nature.
Early Tuesday afternoon we found,
much to our delight, that we were ap
proaching nearer and nearer Mars Hill.
At last, none too soon, we swept down
the mountain side into the village of
Mars Hill. Oh-! how happy we were
to be home again. Three cheers for
Mars Hill College, “A Gem in the
Emerald Ring of the Hills.”
the REPORTERS’ CLUB
Elsewhere in this issue announce
ment is made of the action of the staff
in projecting a reporters’ club. The
suggestion for such an addition to
the staff arose from the necessity roi
further distributing the responsibility
for the HILL TOP, thus extending the
organization to include competent
writers who are now inactive and en
couraging a greater number to avail
themselves of the opportunity for jour
nalistic effort which a campus paper
affords. The HILL TOP to be repre
sentative of our campus needs more
diversified material and a larger corps
of writers.
Come on, fellow students, let’s maxe
the HILL TOP, our college paper, a
creditable sheet. Lot’s not have a few
to do all the work and receive all the
benefits therefrom.
Divinity consists in us« and prac
tice: not in speculation. — Martin
Luther.

Dr. Burroughs believes in the deep,
abiding emotion which brings lasting
results.
“The agent to evangelize the world
is the church.” said Dr. Burroughs. He
continued by saying that after the
church has got numbers she has a
great task to mother them. As a Spir
itual Mother there are three things
necessary to be done by the church:
to utilize, to organize, and to frater-
nalize her entire membership. To put
the new babes in Christ to work is a
task for the church. If this can '
done, the enlargement of the church
and the spread of the GOspel are sure.
Then, there must be organization in
the church, he declares. The half
handed way of doing church w"-'
past: and the day has dawned when
the church must be an organized power
with every phase of its work well
planned. Organization plus the power
of God brings great and lasting results.
Finally, according to Dr. Burroughs,
there must exist brotherly love In the
church between Its members and be
tween pastor and congregation. The
church should be one great brother
hood. "The devil fears love in the
church,” he says. When love domi
nates satan Is kept away, and the
Kingdom of God advances. Dr. Bur
roughs appealed to the students to put
their best into their churches and love
them above all else. Follow the ex
ample of Jesus. He loved ■’he church
and was slain on the cruel cross that
it might live eternally. In His closing
words Dr. Burroughs said hq, would
gladly give his life for the chu?ch if it
became necessary. His message came
from his heart and was well received
by the student body.
MARS HILL IN THE AIR
"Isn’t it glorious!” remarked a Mars
Hill enthusiast the other day as he
was passing down by the gym, stretch
ing his arms in the warmth of the
bright Indian summer afternoon,
drinking deeply of old Bailey and the
Intervening valleys. “There’s no place
like Mars Hill,” he added with more
enthusiasm than logic.
Sooner or later, in some way, the
realization comes to every student that
there is no place like Mars Hill. The
expression of this conviction has caus
ed Mars Hill men and women to be
accused of college privinclalism.
Though the attachment for the place
which inevitably grows on everyone
who matriculates at Mars Hill is often
evinced in the statement that Mars
Hill is different, yet no true student
of Mars Hill holds his college up as
superior — superior in ' the way that
many self-esteemed individuals and
institutions hold forth. There is more
of love than pride in Mars Hill loy
alty. A charm seems to pervade the
campus to one after he has stayed
long enough to feel its influence. What
is this charm? Is it the genial at-
m.osphere that exists in a democratic
community? Is it the Christian fel
lowship? Is lit the influence of the
natural beauty that surrounds the
place? Or is it the consciousness that
here one can think his own thoughts
and taste life unhampered by conven-
'tions that inhabit high thinking ant»
plain living

Mars Hill, N. C.
The Sewing Circle held its first
meeting Wednesday at 8:00 p. m. A
very interesting and helpful program
was rendered: the most outstanding
feature of which was the discussion of
the question. Resolved, That it is a
physical impossibility for a one-eyed
person to thread a cross-eyed needle.
The discussion was very much heated.
The judges, however, rendered the fol
lowing decision: It is not a physical
impossibility: for a one-eyed person
may thread a cross-eyed needle pro
vided he be not providentially hindered
during the process, that is. to say, pro
vided he does not suffer from an op
tical illusion or the like. The busi
ness meeting was short. The follow
ing motions were made and carried:
The club shall purchase ten diamond
pointed needles. Each member shall
be required to wash the hands and
manicure the nails at least once per
day. A special machine, which will
provide for the excessive size of some
of the members’ feet shall be bought.
