Since Mars Hill College does not
publish a periodical literary journal,
it is customary each spring for one
of the issues of the Hilltop to be
dedicated to the literary abilities of
the student body. Through the pages
of this the 1956 Literary Edition
we give expression to your creative
efforts. Only through such a sur
vey as this can we recognize out
standing talent for writing.
The selection of articles to appear
in this publication, a most difficult
assignment, was influenced by the
limited amount of space. The group
of readers who made the final de
cisions looked for articles showing
creative ability, variety in technique
and content, subjects of current
campus interest, sincerity of author
in relating personal experiences, and
successful treatment of seemingly
common day-by-day occurrences. It
was necessary to eliminate some of
our most promising entries because
of their length. In other cases the
choice had to be made between
manuscrints that were similar either

as, either could have been effective
ly used on its Own merit. Technical
difficulties in printing necessitated
o’ir using o.nly those entries which
adanted themselves to regular single
or double columns. In light of these
circumstances we considered each
entry individually.
We are grateful to everyone who
submitted material for this publica
tion. To those of you who were
successful with vour endeavor w>e
know that you will want no greater
reward than to see your name at
tached to one of your very own crea
tions. For you whose material has
not been published in these pages
there remains a consolation. If
everyone in the world were brilliant
writers and made writing their chief
occupation, then no one would ever
have time to appreciate great liter
ature.
