W.A.A. Makes Plans To
Hear Representative
Of WAVES
The W. A. A. held its regular
meeting in the parlor of the
New Dormitory on the night of
February 1st. Joy Satterwhite
was in charge of the program;
after which refreshments were
served by the hostesses. Two
members of the club have al
ready received their gold letter
pins for gaining the goal of
points arranged by the club.
They are Joy Satterwhite and
Virginia Hart.
Plans are being made to
have a representative of the
WAVES give a talk and lead
a discussion on the campus
under the sponsorship of the
club. The W. A. A. is seeking
to promote an interest in
sports in which all should par
ticipate every day. In con
ditions under which we ore
living, the importance of good
health is greater than ever be
fore. W. A. A. offers entertain
ment and development of ath
letic talents to all who are its
members. In its two years of
progress at Mars Hill it has
now become one of the largest
and most beneficial clubs.

Outlook For Semester
Encouraging
The records of Registrar J.
W. Huff show that 645 students
have registered to date for the
spring semester. Because of
uncertainty on the part of
many students, a number have
registered since the official
registration date, and possibly
there will be other late regis
trations. This number of stu
dents registering is very en
couraging, since a large num
ber of boys have been called
into service and many others
are uncertain as to how long
they may be allowed to re
main in school.
The fact that more girls than
boys have registered is very
vividly borne out by the pre
ponderance of girls in most of
the classes. Even at this, the
situation is not as bad as was
expected, but keener compe
tition is already in evidence!
Perhaps you have noticed
some unfamiliar faces on the
campus. Twelve new students
have enrolled at Mars Hill,
Some of them have already
become rather well known and
we feel that their coming will
be a valuable addition to our
student body.
Because of the drop in en
rollment some classes were
combined. These changes
necessitated alterations in the
class schedule. Many of us
have been affected by these
changes and have consequent
ly become associated with stu
dents whom we have not
known very well previously.
All in all, indications point to
a successful semester of work,
and many of us are spurred to
greater effort by the visuali
zation of graduating next May.
