SARAH BLACKWELL -MADELINE MAY, JAMES CHERRY, WILLIAM CAPEL, PEARLE JUSTICE, THERON KING To the New Alumni You, Seniors, are no longer students of Mars Hill. A few short hours ago you were as one of us who are remaining, but now you are alumni. “Alumni,” that word holds a dignity and responsibility not found in hte word “Senior.” You are more than a Senior, you are a graduate. As you go out into the world of the greater college and into the field of business, you will find that everything you do or say reflects upon your Alma Mater, either in a way that makes her glory shine, or in a way that dims her re nown. May you ever be true to your new schools and your new fields of en deavor as you have been to your classes, your society, or your club. Loy alty goes more than skin deep; it touches the core of the soul and is one of the primary elements that is used to make a man. Be loyal. You have been, and we trust that, as new alumni, you will ever be. t Social Privileges Some nights ago when the faculty met we all wondered why they were staying so long. But when the results were made known we would have little cared how long they stayed. There was much excitement when it was found that there are to be more social privileges next year than there were this year. Instead of the one date a week for the Seniors there are to be three! And a date for every public program except moving pictures. This all sounds interesting to the C-l’s who are here and are planning to come back next year. Maybe it will be an incentive to many of them to come back! Someone asked if this were compulsory. Well, it is not. However, I think there are very few who have ever received their diplomas who did not venture on the soupline at least once before graduating! There is some thing fascinating about the soupline, however, and when it is once dis covered it is hard to get away from—hence the long soupline each Sunday at 4:00 P. M. ; . . Yet certain requirements must be measured up to if these privileges are to be enjoyed. One of them is that a certain amount of work must be passed, and there be no delinquency on any subject. Perhaps this will be an incentive to study harder and keep off the delinquent list. To you who are coming back, let us not abuse the privileges that are to be ours next year. Let’s prove what is in us and make the social life next year what it should be and what almost every other college has. she would stay kissed. If I were a man I would have only one fraternity pin—and I would wear it myself un less I were really in love. If I were a man I expect I would want to remake women just as bad as I want to remake men. —The Periscope. If I were a man I would not read columns entitled “If I Were a Man.” Open Forum During the past few days there have been some persons on the cam pus advocating the change in the name of the Soupline. The C-1 Class wants the honor of changing the name. Personally, I think we would be doing just as much to let it re main Soupline. I admit that it is not a very appro priate name for such a social func tion, as it is a war term. But it has been used for so many years as the term spoken of when the boys and girls go for a walk on Sunday after noons that I think it appropriate to let it remain as it is. When two, or one, sally forth on the walk they think not of hatred, strife, murder, and death, as one entering war; they think of friendship, and there is the best kind of social relation existing. Would fried chicken be any more en joyed were it called by another name? No. Then is it logical to think that the Soupline would be more enjoyed were it called “The Weekly Walk,” “Sweethearts on Parade,” or some thing else? Indeed it is not. Most schools have something they can call distinctly their own—some thing that is characteristic of that particular school. Then, the Soupline is a term that is distinctly our own. So why change it? Let’s be original in some things. Even though the class did vote to change the name (there were only a few votes in the majority to change the name), it will stick. It is hard to change a thing that has been in ex istence so long. It could be possible to change it were there a new student body coming next year, but to those of us returning who are perpetual Soupliners, the name will be the same. I think it foolish to attempt to make the change. —F. P. J. literature. We hope that after a trial and due consideration the faculty will give us back our beloved clubs. —A Scribler. H Whether it will be compulsory for at least one occupant of each room on the side of Spilman Home next to the church to go to church or remain in the sun-parlor next year, I do not know. I just want to voice the opin ion of all the girls who room on this side of the building when I say that it is unfair. A Sunday at Mars Hill is one of the hardest days in the week. There is very little time for rest, reading or anything else if one participates in all the religious ac tivities here. The average person must have some time in which to rest. I can see the motive by which those in authority deem it wise for only one to stay in each room. We are near enough to disturb public worship. But this year there have been only a few instances where worship was going on and was disturbed. But did all the girls do it? No. They did not. Only a few were the ones. It is nothing but unfair to have one go to church when she wants to sleep, read, or occupy her time as she likes. We are college girls and should be able to restrain ourselves to the point that we will not disturb in the least. Nearly every girl prefers the “necessity” of going to church than that of sitting in the sun- parlor. It seems to me that the thing to be done is to punish the girls who do these things and not inflict punish ment on those who are innocent. We hereby plead for permission to stay within our rights. —A Sunday Sinner. two local young people’s clas(( been included in the depfl**^ These three new classes are commended for their co-oj and efficiency.

Who has not dreamed those dreams? I dream them, and dreaming, think of what next year will bring to Mars Hill and to me. Will it be all that I hope it to be, or will it fall like a house of cards disturbed by a baby’s hands? I have dreamed of a new Hilltop next year, not merely a newspaper, but a reflector, bold and unashamed, of campus opinion and campus view points. If such viewpoints exist they should be aired and not suppressed. A good dose of sunlight is good for any disease and is far better than to leave it smoldering into flame hidden away in the dark. We want next year honest criticism of anything that you consider worth criticising, and we want it frank and above board. Sign your name. Certainly you are not afraid of it. Destructive criticism is useful, but constructive is also good. 'There are ideals and institutions here at Mars Hill that are to be found in no other college in the world. We are proud of them; we are proud of the achievements of the men that have gone out from this campus and know that many more will follow in their footsteps. So, if there is something distinctive about Mars Hill that inspires you as it has thousands of others. The Death Knell of De partmental Club* Dear Mr. Editor: The new faculty ruling in regard to clubs comes as a severe disappoint ment to me. I had come to believe that such clubs as the Scribleris Club, French Club, International Re lations, Science, and the like, were honorary clubs in their particular fields and were organized to do spe cific work in their particular field. That is the true purpose of their conception, and unless I am badly mistaken, it has been carried out. These clubs are not designed merely for those interested primarily in the work that the club is doing and who are doing constructive work along that line, and scholarship is only a minor item toward his alignment with that club. The new ruling does not take into cognizance these facts, but assumes that grades are the primary requisite In October the B. Y. P. U. study Power Compnay, Chattanooga, Lese gj^y (for entrance and that any subject With the co-operation of the students and the faculty we hope to make event faintly related should be in- The Hilltop next year portray everything that is good and useful in campus news as well as what is otherwise. Here’s hoping. If I Were a Man If I were, a man I’d be a good dresser and ever so neat. I’d wear either navy blue double-breasted suits or Oxford grey. My overcoat would be dark and my scarf black and white. In summer I’d wear flan nels and a blue coat as much as pos sible. If I were a man I’d never, no never, wear golf knickers except when I was playing golf. If I were a man my shirt would be white usually, and on those occasions when I did break over into colors I would be sure that my tie harmonized perfectly. If I were a man and my hair was wavy—I’d let it wave ever so lightly anyway—I’d never, never part it in the middle. And I’d wear a hat too, except on the campus, if I were a man, even if I did want to be colle giate. If I were a man I would smoke a pipe where courtesy allowed, and, speaking of courtesy, I’d be ever so genteel to old women and especially my mother. If I were a man I’d never call my girl “sugar” or “babe”; in fact I would not call her any pet name un less it was sweetheart and I was really in love with her, and then I would only do so when non one else could hear. If I were a man I would tell a girl when she looks unusually nice and I wouldn’t forget to notice the frocks either. If I were a man I would say it with flowers a lot oftener than with words. It rings lots truer—and when I did say it with words those words would be set to music. If I were a man I’d write letters that could be read by anyone. My let ters would be short and to the point. If I couldn’t speak of love sincerely, I’d leave it out entirely. If I were a man the girls I kissed would be few. It makes a man more interesting. But when I kissed one corporated under the same head. Un der this rule you, men and women, are vitally concerned in a certain subject and making grades sufficiently high to present entrance credits, but you are assuming that interest is of minor importance and that grades are the primary object. That, in my opinion, is the mistake that has been made. If we are to have clubs founded on the basis that mere scholarship is the only requisite, then let us organize a Phi Beta Kappa organization that takes only “A” and extremely high “B” students. Let us keep our clubs for the purpose for which they were founded, a keener interest in certain subjects. Take, for example, the Scribleris Club. There are very few first year men who make “A” on English in their freshman year therefore these men cannot attain to the club in which the remnants of the old Scrib leris Club has been submerged save by other courses than English and thus they lose the true purpose of the Scribleris as a creative body in courses were held, with Mr. Ivey and Miss Rickett teaching and helping to get the work for the year started. Another feature of the year was the social held in April. The members of the faculty kindly ofTered their homes and entertained very delight fully. We are hoping next year that the B. Y. P. U. will be more efficient and more consecrated in training young people for service. Y. W. A. The Y. W. A. has proved to be an outstanding organization among the girls this year, an enrollment of 100 per cent, having been attained. Two circle meetings and two public meet ings a month have been held. One study course has been taught, seven books being taught by Dr. Ayers, Miss Mather, Mr. White, and members of our own faculty. The social was held back of Treat Dormitory and every girl thoroughly enjoyed it. The most impressive service of the year was the installation of the offi cers for next year. It was given as our last public program of the year. The old officers retired, leaving to the new officers the work which has been very successful this year. Sunday School The Sunday School has also had a very prosperous year. In January we were fortunate in having Mr. Phillips and his co-workers. There were nine courses taught and an enrollment of 326. Of the 203 awards given there were thirty-six King’s Teacher di plomas given and forty-five Admin istration diplomas. This is the first year that the general assembly has been held before the regular class meeting. The purpose of this is that all the young people may be together on Sunday morning. A weekly teach ers’ and officers’ meeting is held for discussion and plans for the next les son. A new class of boys was organized this year. It is composed of athletes and has forty-five boys on roll. The Fearless Fighters have not failed to is Mr. Jeter Rector. ;r 0 ho Mr. E. C.
