The
Spirited Debates With Varied Themes Various Clubs Dr. Robert Seymour Travels To (Annual
Spark MH Societies In Joint Meeting Remain Lively Hill; Becomes Binkley Memorial Pi.
At 8:00 P.M., February 13, 1959, the Philomathian and Clio
Societies consolidated for a joint meeting, one of the four that are
held annually. Joe Greene, Philomathian president, called the meeting
to order. Greene then gave the welcome address and read the cus
tomary letters. A devotional hymn was sung, followed by the
devotion on “Love’s Character,” as presented by Mike Dalton, chaplain.
Dalton and Van Ramsey then sang “How Great Thou Art.”
The evening’s program was in
augurated with Dot Searle direct
ing the members in a series of
society songs. Guests of the so
ciety were then recognized by the
president. A trio, composed of
Ruth Teague, Patricia Robinson,
and Ann Melton sang an appeal
ing selection.
The attention of the members
present was then turned to en
deavors in the field of debating.
The query for the evening was,
“Resolved; That Cupid should at
least be allowed target practice on
the Mars Hill College campus.”
Sue Campbell and Nancy Brunt
supported the affirmation, with
the negation being composed of
John Stanton and Doyle Moore.
While rebuttals were being pre
pared, Henry Snyder was un
expectedly called upon to offer
some entertainment by way of his
dubious musical talents. Snyder
resorted to performing the hula,
realizing his musical deficiency.
Following this assumed dance, the
debating teams presented their re
buttals. The judgment was left
up to the individual.
To top the evening. Bob Young,
attired in such apparel as a black
derby, a yellow vest, and a black
string tie presented an interpre
tation of Shakespeare’s “Romeo
and Juliet.”
“One World” was the theme of
the February Non-Eu joint meet
ing. The program was dedicated
to Dr. Robert Seymour.
Numbers on the program in
cluded the delivery of speeches
originally given by great Amer
icans on historic occasions and
music and folk-lore from other
nations. A debate on the topic
“Resolved that the United States
is losing first place in psychologi
cal warfare” was decided in favor
of the negative.
The program was marked by
serious consideration of problems
which young people face and
showed evidence of thoughtful
tolerance of differences in this
“one world.”

College Humof Is Ubiquitous
Girl graduate: “Four years of
college! And whom has it got me?”
College glamour girl to suitor:
“By ‘secret engagement’ I suppose
you mean no ring.”
A student who was asked by
his dean whether he was in the
top half of his class replied: “Oh,
no sir, I’m one of those who make
the top half possible.”
UPS AND DOWNS
The wife of a middle-aged busi
ness executive met him at his of
fice late one afternoon. As they
were going down in the elevator,
it stopped and a high-octane sec
retary got on. Poking the execu
tive in the ribs she said gaily,
“Hello, cutie pie!”
Unperturbed, the executive’s
wife leaned over with a smile
and announced “I’m Mrs. Pie.”

An expectant mother, elevator-
bound to the maternity ward in
the hospital was startled to hear
the operator murmur: “Second
floor—broken bones, ingrown toe
nails, pretty nurses.” The third
floor brought a low recitation of
“Operations, plai nand fancy,
clean beds, costly doctors” and
the fourth, “bandages, sprains,
rheumatism and lumbago.” She
strained her ears to hear how her
destinatio nwas announced. It
was simple: “Fifth floor—Amer
