The Hilltop, Maxs Hill College, Mars Hill, N. C. Page 3 LITERARY SOCIETIES NONPAREIL As anniversary time draws near, each Non Is filled with greater enthusiasm • and love for her society than ever be fore. The fine loyal spirit of the Nons is perhaps shown here more than at any other time. Kach one is ready, - willing, and eager to do her part in - making the thirty-fifth birthday a suc- ' cess, and with the help of our brother Euthailans we are sure we can do so. [V A very Interesting program was , : given in the hall at the last regulaf meeting. Some numbers on the pro- gram were; A beautiful vocal solo, ‘‘^"Pale Moon,” by Grace Stamey; “The I. Life of Hawthorne,” by Mollle Cooper; ia' ^ violin duet by Ada Barefoot and g, Rosalie Estridge; and a book review by Meredith Hawkins. COMMITY NEWS TO ALABAMA Misses Mary Poole, Vista Stines, Katherine Roberts and Mary Hamby are attending the B. S. U. Conference at Birmingham. JUNIOR PARTY The youngsters in all gaity and mer riment met at the home of Patty Fleet- wood, October 29, to celebrate Hallow e’en. About forty boys and girls were present. A number of games were played during the evening, after which cider and cake made delightful refresh ments. EUTHALIAN The Euthailans are growing by leaps ^ and bounds this year. Several former Ifl’ members have attended some of the 11 programs, and they have remarked that 3l'the Improvement that is being made is rt amazing and worthy of notice. It seems SI though each member has a desire lb' to do better work than his co-work- 1 ers. It is a settled fact that nothing ashort of progress will be made where gi such a spirit exists. 01 The debates, in the society especial- ' ly, have much spirit in them. It is In- ' spiring to sit and listen to debates of C. this nature. Other numbers on the Program show that much preparation p is put on them also. The programs as a whole are equalled by few and ex- 12 celled by none. 6 It was a pleasure to have some of .gi the Tennessee football players with us jjj when they were here for the game. One of the number spoke in behalf of the others, and made a very interest- d** ing speeh. It is alwaysc a pleasure to c« 'have visitors in our midst. A cordial o invitation is extended to all to attend ,« file programs. HALLOWE’EN PARTY AT MARS HILL HI Mars Hill Hi held forth in full Hal lowe’en fashion Saturday night. The guests were admitted through a base ment door, lit only by jack o’ lanterns, and ushered up a flight of stairs lined on either side with ghosts and witches On entering the auditorium, the guests found themselves in the midst of a carnival. The floor was covered with dry rattling leaves, and the front and back of the house were lined with beautifully decorated booths. A gjpsy was telling fortunes in one, while eat ables and drinkables were being sold in others. A costume parade took place early in the evening which showed that children from the first grade up had a great interest in the Hallowe’en festival. Dates were sold to all boys who did not come attached. There were three cake walks, and gn:eat numbers participated in each walk. The proceeds from the party will be spent for playground equip ment. Bereans! Asleep or Lazy? Just what seems to be the gpreatest trouble with the Bereans? This ques tion has been asked quite often by the girls for the past few weeks. We hate to admit it, but the girls are just bet ter workers than the boys. The high records of the Fidelis classes are being pulled down by the brother classes. The girls want that efficiency banner for the best brother-sister class. Now, boys, are you going to keep your sis ters from having this banner? If you are not, you had better get busy; fop from all appearances now you are keeping them down. Bereans, make your sisters proud by coming out to Sunday School one hundred per cent. Fidelis IV had the single banner for the highest average during the month of October. And It Is probable that Fidelis V and Berean V have the double banner. CLIO The Clio program last Thursday, Oc tober 28, furnished everyone present a ' good laugh, it being a mock faculty program. The scene was in chapel. A ' chapel period had been devoted to a ' Hallowe’en program. At the beginning ' of the program, everybody stood and ' sang song'number one—"Rejoice.” Mrs. ' Wilkins (Lucille Hamby) led it. Mr. '' Elliott (Sallie Wlngo) conducted chapel ' in the absence of the president (Irene ' Willis). Mr. Elliot and Mr. Strlngfield (Bernice Hutchins) told ghost stories Miss Wlngert (Elizabeth Evans) gave a reading; Miss Martha Biggers (Sal- ' he Warren) and Mrs. Owens (Ellza- '' beth Spangler) rendered piano solos; and Miss Thelma Fleetwood (Opal ! Prior) accompanied by Mrs. Owens sang. H\’ery member took his part well and afforded much pleasure to the on-look ers. PHILOMATHIAN The outlook is pleasing to all those ■who are familiar with the quality of '"’ork and the degree of Interest of «very member. As we move from the Opening of the year's work we see steadily increasing results of the per slstent efforts that have been put forth. It is the desire of the society that each of its members be well trained for his definite place in life i and that he possess those qualities that make him unashamed and unafraid to be tested. With this end in view we Plan our work. "^be society Is very proud of those 't'’ho have joined this year. Many of them have readily caught the insplra- ^ tion and have proved by the zeal with which they have taken hold of the iwork that they Intend to make this I Phase of the work and school-life ‘^ount. Why should there be one stu- dent On the campus out of the society iby his choice? a friend of mine gave a feast and hot invite me to it. I should not mind a bit. But if a friend .of mine had to - a sorrow and refused to allow me ®hare it, I should feel It most bit ^®’'ly-—Oscar Wilde GHOSTS STILL LIVE “And the goblins will get you. If you don’t watch out.” Yes, we surely be lieved this as we were ushered through the basement of Marye Carter’s home. On Friday evening a Hallowe’en party was gdven by the local Y. W. A.; and can you imagine being received by a social committee of spooks in a dimly- lighted basement? But all were shown upstairs into more comfortable sur roundings where there were rooms beautifully decorated in appropriate colors, a bright cheery fire, and the low mumble of voices. After every one was seated the girls were told to make three dates and the subjects to be discussed were goblins, witches, and whether puppy love, or first love, was real. Then followed a water and cracker contest, bobbing for apples, and musical numbers rendered by Mrs. J. R. Owen. The lights were turned low, and two rolling ghost stor ies were told by Ona Woody and Simon Parker. The fortune teller in her den, who was Mrs. E. C. Coates dressed as a gypsy, disclosed the secrets of the future. A delicious course of chicken salad and Russian tea was served. Games were played until the time for departure came. Every one expressed his appreciation for a delightful eve ning and started home, but of course In his heart he doubted whether he would arrive there In safety. Those present were: Misses Katherine An derson, Ruby Edwards, Orlena McMa han, Foy Briggs, Lucille Hamby, Ona Woody. Maggie Brown, Clara George. Alma Williams, Marye Carter, Mrs. E. C. Coates, Mrs. J. R. Owen; Messrs. Charles Parker. Simon Parker, Harry Davis. Robert Riddle, Woodson Am mons, Robert Sams, George Patrick, Horace Crawford, J. T. Hampton, Rev. J R. Owen, also Masters Francis Owen and George Carter. REPORTERS’ CLUB TO ORGANIZE A special meeting of the Hill Top Staff was called in order to discuss the possibilities of organizing a Re porters’ Club. The entire Staff heart ily approved of the idea, and it was a general agreement that those members of the Staff who are now reporters would become charter members of the Club. The remainder of the member ship of the Club will consist of those persons who have been chosen by Staff on the merits of the news stories and articles that they contribute to the paper. Many Freshmen should aspire to membership not only because of the training that they will receive, but also because of the fact that they will get credit on their course in Freshman English for matter submitted to the paper. If you wish to become a mem ber, see either the Faculty Director or the Editors-in-Chief. Wednesday Morning Chapel Exercises Wednesday morning chapel exercises are eagerly looked forward to by every student at Mars Hill College. The rea son for this unusual Interest is that the short period is given over to the Music and Expression Departments. Two weeks ago the following pro gram was thoroughly enjoyed by each one present: Mrs. Owen, one of our music teachers, played with her usual skill, “Soaring,” by Schumann. ’The Misses Fleetwood sang “Nearest and Dearest.” an Italian folk song; they also sang “Trust Her Not,” by Bach (the latter being quite good advice to the boys). The last number was a reading that all seemed to enjoy and profit by hearing, “According to Your Faith,” given by Miss Bonnie Wengert, head of the Expression Department. Last Wednesday, Miss Martha Dig gers, Director of the Music Depart ment, spoke on the Importance of the song service in chapel and at other gatherings. She gave several Bible references which Illustrated the Im portance of music, even long ago.
