stated that there was no one solu-
tt for the matter: however, he said
tt some think only of their solution,
t he Was especially interested in re-
lous work, an Important factor. Some
us are made by our education, and
'he by education and regeneration,
education is such a large factor,
en We should be careful what we put
it. He added further that it is no
mder the boys and girls do not have
=ti moral standards. They lack some-
'hg to fix to. To remedy this he
Sgested a nation-wide program which
“uld touch every boy and girl and

added, finally, that only those
are willing to pay the price will

the address by saying that we

Thirty-Three Hjgh Schools Have
Entered.
In the last week of February Mars
Hill College will conduct the Western
North Carolina l?lgh School Tourna
ment. This tournament is regarded as
one of the best high school basketball
tournaments in the South.
The tournament last year was a .suc
cess in every way; but those in charge
of running .the tournament are pre
dicting an even more successful
tournament this year than last. Dur
ing the week of play Mars Hill will be
the mecca for North Carolina basket
ball fans.
Coach Roberts has received thirty-
three applications for the tournament.
It is expected that three of these teams
will probably withdraw, leaving thirty
teams to fight for the championship.
Last year the Sylva High School
team was winner of the tournament.
And as a result of their victory re
ceived the trophy donated by A. G.
Spaulding & Co. According to news
paper reports the Sylva team is even a
greater team this year than it was last
year. The champions are determined

RAPIDLY IMPROVING
All Hilarious as Mr. Moore Returns
to Campus
General rejoicing was felt all over the
campus on Friday when Mr. Moore I'O-
turned after an absence of almost two
weeks while recovering from an opera
tion which he undei’w^ent at the Bap
tist Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
As the word was passed that Mr.
Moore was back, every face was seen
to brighten. The cloud which had been
lowering over the campus seemed sud
denly dispelled. When Mr. Moore
quietly entered the auditorium at the
chapel hour, where his presence was
most sorely missed during his absence,
all spontaneously burst forth into
manifestations of joy.
It was noted that the voices of quite
a few' were tinged with emotion as the
opening hymn was being sung.
All who have seen him agreed that
Mr. Moore is already looking stronger
than he has for several years. Many
are expressing their eagerness to see
him again daily in his office. They
want to see him again on the chapel
platform and to hear again his words
of counsel and inspiration.

We were glad to learn that one of
Mars Hill’s own has come closer home.
Dr. John A. Trent of Leaksville, N. C.,
who has been running a drug store of
his own in Danville, Va., until re
cently, has taken a position with
Smith’s Drug Store of Asheville, N. C..

of Pharmacy, Raleigh, N C„ where he
graduated a year later. He then en
tered the army and served through the
Worl*! War. Dr. Trent wishes to meet
all of the Mars Hill folk and to see his
old friends. He is just another one to

The nominating committees of each
union met and discussed the ones that
were suggested, and each officer being
elected was approved by the mass
meeting of committees. The presidents
have begun work in their respective
unions only, but it is evident that ca
pable and wide-awake leaders have
been chosen. Every union reported a
high grade Sunday, thus showing that

MISS GLADYS REESE
BECOMES BRIDE OF MR.
EDGAR H. JARVIS
One of Uncle Sam’s most valuable
assistants and one of the most attract
ive and efficient young ladies who ever
graced a postoffice window, from either
side, disappeared temporarily from be
hind the grating of the Mars Hill post-
office a few days ago to join hands with
one of our town’s popular citizens and
young educators in the rosy venture of
matrimony.
Friends far and near will read with
interest that Miss Gladys Reese and
Mr. Edgar H. Jarvis were married on
the afternoon of February 3, in the
Baptist ehurch of Marshall, North
Carolina, Rev. H. L. Smith officiating.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Jarvis departed in the direc
tion of Knoxville, Tennessee.
Everybody who frequents the post-
office at Mars Hill is pleased to find
that Mrs. Jarvis, nee “Miss Gladys,”
has returned to her position. “Miss
Gladys,” since assuming her duties in
the postoffice, has been a universal fa
vorite among the students and teachers
of the college and among the people
of the community at large. Besides be
ing most efficient as assistant to the
postmaster, she always greets her pub
lic with a pleasant smile. One’s dis
appointment at not receiving that letter
from home, or from her, or from him
is made less bitter by the presence of
“Miss Gladys.”
In the fastest game played in the
McConnell gymnasium this season Mars
Hill won her eighth straight game of
the season by defeating the fast cadet
team from Bingham Military Institute.
Johnson, Mars Hill forward, scored
the first basket of the game when he
looped a cross shot after receiving a
bullet-like pass from “Duke” Lewis.
With the score 5-2 in favor of Mars
Hill the game became a battle to the
final whistle. The first half ended with ,
fne score 19-10 in favor of the Mars
Hill quintet.
At the beginning of the second half
Bingham unleashed an attack so fu
rious that it netted them 6 points in
the short time of 45' seconds. If the
cadets had been able to maintain this
attack for the rest of the game the
results of the game would have been
different, and Mars Hill would have
been forced to bow to her first defeat
of the year. But this attack soon faded
out, and Mars Hill increased her lead.
During the last half Bingham scored 9
points while the locals annexed 8. The
final score of the game was 27-19.
The floor work of Jimmy Nixon was
the outstanding feature of the game.
The rest of the team came in also for
their share of praise; Johnson at for
ward was the high point man of the-
game. West, Lewis, and Travis time
and time again would break up the of
fense of their opponents.
