Playing in Hall Fletcher gym,
Mars Hill lost their final sched

once victorious team from Ashe
ville-Biitmore. A-B seemed to hit
every shot they threw up while
the Lions could not find the hoop.
Shooting with almost no accuracy
at all, the Lions hit on 17 field
goals while making 24 out of 36
charity tosses.
Leading the Lions were Wayne

coming on long set shots, to take
the scoring honors for Asheville-

In Spruce Pine tonight is the final game of the season for basketball
fans of Mars Hill College.. At the present time the results of the first
games of the playoffs are not available for publication.
North Greenville and Spartanburg are seeded as tourney favorites,
but the rest of the teams aren’t going to play dead. Mars Hill holds
wins over two of the top three teams in the conference—Spartanburg
and Brevard. ...^======^==========
The Lions have had a rugged
season coming out on top in five
of the twelve games they have
played. Two of the members of
the team gained honorable men

The M-Blem Club enjoyed a
delicious spaghetti supper Feb
ruary 9, in their new W.A.A.
room. The supper was prepared
by the C-I members of the club.
After eating, games were played.
Paddy Wall was in charge of pre
paring the supper.
All the girls have been com
menting on the new room that has
been fixed for the girls’ physical
education classes downstairs in the
gym. The girls are so proud of
it that three girls, Janet Lewis,
Betty Moody, and Betty Anne
Lynch, have volunteered to make
curtains for the room to give it
a little warmer atmosphere.
Spring hasn’t “sprung,” but the
spring cleaning has begun! That
is the motto for the girls in the
M-Blem Club and W.A.A. They
like their new W.A.A. room so
well they are working hard try
ing to fix it up and make the
room look its best. The next
plans are to fix the floors of the
room.
