CANVASSERS REPORT ON
CENTENNIAL CAMPAIGN
filUNl) J’OTAL $37,J)81; TO MEET
AGAIK riMDAY
Ou Friday evening, October 15, tlie
Mars Hill Club of Meredith College
entertained In the Astro Hall the
former students of Mars Hill College
wlio are now at Wake Forest, State,
Carolina and Duke. After tlie guests
had assembled, our president, Lenna
Gambell welcomed them.
The evening was divided into live
dates, each of which lasted for about
fifteen minutes. Pauline Huffl was the
very capable Mistress of Ceremonies,
and upon her signal each date began.
The first date was called the “Soup
line,” an expression near and dear to
the heart of each M. H. C. student. A
bowl of punch iu one corner of the
room represented the “spring under
the beechnut tree” where, 'down
through the ages couples have stopped
to quench their thirst on tli'eir way
home from a walk to the Cascades.
During the second date the couples
were seated, and were entertained by
an Inverted quartette composed of
Dorothy Satterfield, Blanche Horton,
Mozelle Wall and Bessie Snyder. Ouce
again the signal was given and the
third date began. At this time How
ard Mumford proved herself a capable
teacher when she taught a group the
Siamese language. During the fourth
date Ruth JJrookshirc. Bulah Lisk, Lois
Uoss and Virginia Holtzelaw gave a
stunt, after which they sang “I’d
Itatlier be a Mars Hill Girl Than a
MuUi-Multi Millionaire,” a song often
heard on the M. If. C- campus and
one which never falls to thrill a Mars
l-nil girl or i)oy. All too soon the time
caiiio I'or llic lifili and last date. At
this tinic the crowd was dclighttully
enterlained liy ilcJiry Clay Edwards of
Wuiio i'^orcst, who sung “Sorter Miss
You," after whicli refreshments were
.served.
Tlie ix'inaintlcr of the evening was
spent in recognizing representatives
from each of the dilTerent schools, and
oilier gnests, among them Mr. and
Mrs. L. L. Morsan (Mrs. Morgan was
formerly Miss Faye Johnson), Misses
Gladys ,lohnst>n and Jessie Huff, also
Messrs. Joe Medlin and Marsh Myers,
all of whom were formerly Mars Hill
stuilents. ami 0. U. Murpliy at present
a Mars Hill boy.
The evening was brought to a close
with the singing of the M. H. C. Alma
Mater.
On Friday evening, Octol)er 14, 1927,
a host of Baptists gathered at Mere
dith. At this time the various teams
that have been canvassing this district
made their report. This district is di
vided into three associations; The
Raleigh Association, the Civic Asso
ciation and the Central Association.
The reports from these associations
were as follows: Raleigh, $20,309;
Civic, $4,340; and Central, $33,312;
making a grand total of $57,981.
As Meredith students our hearts and
prayers are with this campaign. This
report is the first report that has been
made. Let us talce into consideration
that so many churches could make no
report at all. Some of our people have
given most liberally to this great
cause. We are proud of the way our
own faculty responded to the call. But
how many more are there who are able
to give more than they have
given!
Pullen Memorial was the only church
to exceed its quota at the first call.
Dr. Ellis, the pastor, was called on to
tell how Pullen accomplished this. Dr.
Ellis explained that there was no se
cret about it—Pullen just did it. Be
fore a nuin is able to sell anything
to those around him, he has to he
sold on his own proposition. That
was the key to their success.
On Friday evening, October 21, 1927,
the canvassers will meet again and
make still further reports. As the
campaign widens in scope we will
grow even more interested. As a stu
dent you can do much for our cam
paign. When you go home talk about
it and show the folks that you’re in
terested iu the campaign. Great things
are wrought by prayer. As students
let’s do our bit to put the campaign
over. When the final report is made
for this district every dollar of the
quota will have been raised because
the Baptists of North Carolina have
never failed to meet their obligations
and they never will.
MRS. STEVENSON SPEAKS
3I1SS MATHEKS A GUKST IIEKE
Tins WEEK
The vesper service last Sunday even
ing was one of the most interesting
and Impressive services of the year.
The Y. W. C. A, -conducted the pro
gram.
Our mucli loved friend, Miss Kellam,
introduced Miss Juliette Mathers.
Miss Mathers is teaching one of the
Y. W. A. study courses, and is a guest
of the Meredith girls this week. The
book which she is teaching is “Only
a Missionary.”
Mrs. Gilbert Stevenson spoke to us
on a supremely important topic, that
of faith. She emphasized the fact that
faith is composed of two fundamental
elements: Belief and trust. She made
us realize that God is both intellectual
and personal, and that he wants us to
think of him not as one aloof, to whom
we go when in dire trouble, but as a
constant companion. Mrs. Stevenson
closed this talk with a poem entitled
“Others.” In this poem we were as
sured that real happiness comes solely
through living for others.
We enjoyed two musical selections:
a violin solo rendered by Mary Brock-
well, followed by a vocal solo by
Dorothy Turlington. We were then
dismissed by Miss Biggers.
SOCIALS
Miss Frances Fulghum spent the
week-end at her home in Wilson.
Miss Virginia Lang spent the past
week-end with her parents in Walston-
burg.
Miss Margaret Craig was the week
end guest of Dr. and Mrs. Hubert Po-
teat of Wake Forest, N. C.

NOTICE
The time is drawing nearer and
nearer! Girls, let’s boost stunt night
and have a large crowd here for that
occasion. We are expecting this stunt
night to be the most successful and
best ever at Meredith College. We
want it to be the best ever, but with
out the cooperation of each member of
the individual classes we can not make
It as good as we would like it to be.
So, class presidents and members of
each class, we are depending on you
for a fine and wholesome entertain
ment on the night of November S,
1927.
