MATTERS OF POLICY The policy of The 'Hill Top during the coming year will be based on the simple a.xiem that the whole is greater than any of its parts and equal to the sum of all its parts; however, there are a few points that might be added. The Hill Top represents the whole school, and it will not try to ex ploit one division or divisions of the school. The Hill Top will appear up-to-date unless the publication is providen tially hindered. The reporter who does the writing will receive the space. Any criticism will be gladly received—provided it is carefully written ready for publication in the criticism column of The Hill Top. The Hill Top will advocate Loyalty to Mars Hill College, whole-hearted support for the athletic teams, double the floor space in the library, and more work for the extension of the whole rather than so much agita tion between some of its parts. While this issue may not even approach that high standard main tained by the retiring staff, it does represent good, hard work on the part of the new reporters and editors. Please receive it kindly and con siderately; the goal 'i-s high, but it can never be attained without the ab solute co-operation of every group, club, organization, and individual on the campus as well as the many graduates and friends out in the world who are unseen to us, but who are, nevertheless, backing the col lege to their limit in every way possible. With co-operation to the last notch from these the “Hill Top” will be able to do a great work for Mars 'Hilf College this year.’ WHY BE LONESOME? Here is something to think about. A very much beloved member of the college faculty says, “A head worth anything at all can entertain itself;^ another prominent man remarks, “Only ignorant persons get lonesome.” Those who have enough of interest stored in their minds and those who want to learn and develop never get lonesome because there is always ■something to think about that leaves no room for dejection. There are .so many interesting things in the world that there is not time enough in the average life to learn anywhere near all the useful things that one should know'. In addiUon there are the vast realms of knowledge which are not absolutely necessary; but which, neverthele.ss, would tremendously enrich any mind which might .seek it. Why not an original thought once in a while? How few' cultivate them: Gos.sip concerning daily happenings, often trivial in nature fills too many I lives completely. Of course moods change quite often, and there is a diversity in the line of thought; but soon the mind reverts to the old channels which it follows over and over ajjain. A longing for home need not be loneliness. Home-sickness is more or less regarded as a joke, but the home ties should be strong enough to make a fellow' realize just w'hat is missing w'hen he goes away for the first time. There is a wide gulf between idle lonesomeness and a lone someness felt by the sudden removal of home folks and local friends. Aside from natural ties, however, is it any wonder that people become lonely? The mind is starved for something new to think about. If the mind were permitted to branch out into really new avenues of thought, there would be constant surprise and pleasure at the result; and lone liness would .soon be unknown. Dear Fellow Students: After the pleasant vacation days have ended, we come to the delight ful opening of what we trust will be another happy and prosperous year in our B. Y. P. U.’s. The tasks which are before us are great and important ones. Much time and hard work will be required to reach oui goal, but let us remember that there is honor in honest labor. Every B. Y. B. U. member should appreciate the privilege of work that we may glorify our Lord and Savior. Under the supervision of our capa ble, wise and tru.stworthy president we believe that our efforts will be crowned with glory, and uhat His will may be done in the hearts of those on our campus. We are work ers together with God, and that means not only that w'e need God, but that He has a certain work for each of us. One of the paramount things to be empha.sized in the work of our young people is true reverence. Thi.s w'ill lead us to enter the house of God in a reverent spirit. When we come to Him aright and take our mind.s from the cares and problems which confront us daily, then it is that we go away from the place of wor ship with a quickened zeal and a new power to serve. Doubtless every active members of the B. Y. B. U. could tell where the B. Y. B. U. ver.se is found. May it be the earnest desire of each one to study that he may be approved un to God a willing workman. Some ont has said that “Baptist SUM-MARY OF 1926-27 SEASON Youth Pres.sing Upward” is a good motto for our organization. This we i ing the material. Rapid Reading 1.

Let your friends know that Last year was the most success ful that Mars Hill has ever had in athletics. The 1926 football team was much above irar. Witli such men as Dockery, Carter, Baber, Moore, and Joyner in the line, and Edwards, Suggs, Furches, Rumfeldt, and Tripp in the backfield, nothing other than a strong eleven would be expected. Probably the best offensive man was Edwards. He was a hard hit ting, hard-running, and hard tack ling play'er and one of the surest and most consistent ground gainers Mars Hill has ever produced. The football machine lost one game out of seven during the fall of 1926. The only team able to ad minister a defeat was the strong Tennessee Wesleyan who let the lads from Mars Hill down by the score of 7-6. The games with Farm School, Oak Ridge, and East Tennessee Tea chers College resulted in 0-0 ties. Victories for Ylars Hill were chalked up against Boiling Springs, Catawba College, and Hiwasse College. The team scored fifty points while the opposition was scoring thirteen against it. The 1927 basketball team will long be remembered for its strength both offensively and defensively. The of fense w’as built around West, John son and Nixon, who was one of the most beautiful floor workers in the •state. He was dashing, brilliant, and Consistent in all phases of the game_ In the first of the season several high schools were played just to get the team to running together. The scores in these games were every where from 50-25 to 99-9 in favor of the Hill. Later the team invaded Tenne.ssee, and Milligan College proceeded to seal a clean record by administer ing a 40-20 defeat; however they had revenge from the rest of Tenn essee's teams until E. T. T. C. came to the Hill and left on the long end of, a 40-30 score. But the thirteen victories and two defeats of the season must place it as a very suc cessful one. The baseball team had the tough est luck of any of the squads; how ever it managed to win about half of the games. As has been true for the past few years, the pitching staff was weak. Grady had the best record among the pitchers with “Duke” James Lewis probably second. The team hit almost as heavy as any of the nines played, but the opposi tion hit in the pinches. This Mars Hill failed to do, and so some good ball games were lost. Things should have a different as pect next spring, but all in all the year of 1926-1927 was a banner year in athletics at Mars Hill. DRAMATIC CLUB Under the direction of Miss Win- gert, the Mars Hill Dramatic Club is planning big things for the com ing year. Probably three dramatic performances will be publicly pre sented. Regular meetings of this club are held every two weeks, at which time the members will make an intense and thorough study of the drama together with the study of stage business, make-up, and lighting effects. We feel that this work is of unusual importance and should be boasted as ■well as offer ed the co-operation of each mem ber. The officers for this year are; President, El'ward Harrell. Secretary, Bobby Freeman. you do not want to be interrupted during study hours. 37. Rest a bit before taking up a new subject. 38. When you get tired take a few “setting up” exercises or if possible have a good laugh, and go back to ■work. If very tired put your head out of the windo'w and breathe some fresh air and wash your face in cold water.
