We ’sriiaps can account for unusual inter- Sit as being created by the greatness * tile achievements of the near past ® ail of the societies. Certainly we are Such indebteded to our loyal sisters '•id their successful anniversary pro i.’am. 'We pledge to use our best in all our sitivities in the remaining few months i- this school year. Looking into the Hiring term, we see opportunities that .‘e ours if we would rise to them, nln our recent change of officers, and y their taking hold of the work with jiiw and untired hands, we see no c-’baking interest or weakened morale, iifit a steady unexcited growth of zeal (}in be traced through the change into [fie one major purpose as though there r.ei'e but one strong heart purposing do its best.

A meeting was called for Decembei 5, and important business was discuss ed, including plans for the Christmas program. >cribleris Club Holds H e g u 1 a r Meeting The Scribleris Club held its regulai leeting in the Expression Studio on uesday night, November 23. A very deresting program was rendered d. Roper read a paper on “The Pump- tfi’s Place in Literature.” This was “Joyed by every member present, for “o Thanksgiving spirit was revived In heart. Mr. C. C. Harrel gave a Petite Varorlum on Shakespeare’s •onnets.” The subject was well dis- ussed; much criticism, both construc- We and adverse, was Included In the '“•per. The program showed that much 'reparation had been given to the parts 'y those assigned. Nothing but orlg- Work Is accepted by the Club. The M Club The M Club of Mars Hill College Is only one year old, but within that short time it has made its influence felt on the campus. Its purpose is to extend ail phases of athletics, to fo.»- ter clean, sportsman-like conduct on the campus, in the class room, and on the athletic field. We have just closed a very success ful football season. And we are in deed proud of our team and the rec ord it has made. There is much dis cussion relative to deflating football in college. Dean Gauss, of Princeton, said, "Por my part, i wish we playea louioaii every Saturday during inc coilege year. My job during tne foot ball season is much easier, as far as enforcing discipline in the university goes, than at any other time.” We oe- iieVe Dean Carr would say “Amen” to that. The temptations surrounding the undergraduates have been multlplieu many tirhes during the past score ot years. Every college is within easy reach of one or more cities. The un dergraduates are not going to put m all their time studying. Can we ex pect them to? What, then, are they going to do while tney are not study- ing—sit (fuietly with folded arms and meditate? Quite the contrary, he is going to be giving expression to that natural energy, vitality and enthusias inherent in all. The different phases of athletics afford a partial solution ny directing these qualities into cnan nels of helpful recreation. One writei expresses his opinion as follows: "Wiiy do millions of people sit many hours this fall on cold, hard, expensive seats straining their eyes to see who has the ball and what he is going to do with it?” He suggests that it may be biological—the need for responding to the exciting stimuli that we have in herited from our fojefathers who lived in constant danger.' We crave excite ment, risk, danger; and modern lift offers safety and protection. So we turn to sports for vicarious thrill But it is the cleanness and uncommer Clallam of the game that adds to its appeal. Without the collegiate atmos phere surrounding the game, two- thirds of its charm would be gone. Hero worship is classed as undesir able but any one who deals with the youth of today will realize its univer- .gaiity and permanence. It has been thus throughout the ages. Shamgar slew six hundred men wit.i an ox goad, and he was proclalmeu Judge of Israel. Samson slew a thou sand Philistines with the jawbone or an asa; he too was proclaimed judge TtL veovle. David took a sling ana a stone and slew Goliath; women sang LLds of praise to him. Sergean, York took a German Strong Point sn- gle handed; America gladly pays h m her respects. The man who can claim ero worship at Mars Hill will have o be a hero not only on the athleuc held, but in the class room, on the campus, in the societies, and on Sun day morning as well. Andanystudem body will stand with hats off to such an one. The M Club claims a membership or only twenty-two, having just received seven new members. Although it haa only fifteen members last year, it fur nished five of the few that made the honor roll and carried off four of the eighteen medals given at commence ment. The athlete is scrutinized more closely than any other student on the campus. The common opinion is that you have got to be a roughneck to be an p,thlete. Teachers and students watch them as the public watches the preacher’s son, and every time he makes a little slip they are ready to say “See there, I told you so.” It seems that the day is rapidly approaching when the athlete will consider himself an asset instead of a liability to so- Ueiy.
