It was hard to remain (luiet because everyone was excited over the out ing, and the unre.st was aggravated by many delays. Much to the agony of the waiting group. Raymond Long, after being late to begin with, had fp cha.se un a frvinr nap, ,ond j Janie.s Brown was sent after his hat. I After an invigorating promenade, the happy group reached the mill. Near the stream a fire was built. Dean Plemmons assumed the po.sition of chief cook with Miss Black.stock a.s.si.sting as bread .slicer. While the coffee and bacon were being devoured, Tate Andrews landed in the middle of the group. Everyone rejoiced with Mae Gibson that the rattling of the utensils had suc ceeded in getting him to come. During breakfast much amuse ment was caused when Ada Barefoot and Charles Roper displayed to the on-lookeivs their ability to act the role of tramps by begging a couple of cold biscuits from a near-by farm hou.se. The miller deserves a great deal of credit for the jolly time of these C-II’s. He opened the mill race and ground some corn. The class gathered befoi-e the old mill, rendered “Hail, Hail the Gang’s All Here,” other songs, and then, yelled until the. hills re-echoed. On the way back everyone declare:! that he had the mo.st wonderful time ever experienced. One of the C-Il .social privilege.^ is many “outings.” The .social com mittee has several other trips planned for this year, and it is hoped that ali the class will attend. Mrs. Robinson is sponsor of the class, and a jolly good .sport is .she! On Friday November 11, Coach Roberts of Mars Hill College, caged up his mountain lions and struck out for Tennes.see where he turned loose on the strong- Hiwasse team of that state at 3:30 Saturday after noon, and before he could drag them from their prey they had chewed and clawed their way to a 31 to 0 victory. Promptly at 3:30 o’clock the Ref eree called “Bill” Dockery and the Hiwasse captain to the middle of the field and it was agreed that Mars Hill .should receive. The game was on. On the first kick-off Mars Hill ran the ball back to Hiwasse’s 40-yard line, and in a .series of quick, furious attacks soon had it down on the Hiwasse goal line. 0:i a weak side play Dick Anderson crashed over the goal line for the first Mars Hill touch-down. The try for extra point failed. The two teams lined up again, this time Mars Hill kicking to Hiwasse. After ,a brief exchajl|sc o^f pjjnl,-;, .FiV’cVpi-t heaved “Fuzz” a pass for a 20-yaid gain.

In his introduction, the .sjjeakei said, “Thei'e were men in law, in business, and different professions in life, but God pity a middling pi-eacher and e.spocially one at :in orphanage.” Mr. Gardner said that there are three things for which the chui-ch at the orphanage stands. First win ning every soul to Chri.st; second, t?aining in Chri.stian education; third, teaching them to tra.st themselves out into the religious activities of the state and to help make the world better and happier. Though a few fall by the waysiile, a great number are blessing the world. I could sight you to a num ber of preachers and missionaries who are blessing the world by telling the story of Jesus and his love, but they are so great in number it is impossible to name them all.” The orphanage is yours; so, make your thanksgiving offering large.

Mr. Parrish stat ed that Drama originated in India as on outgrowth of religion, and that it was on the decline there before the Greek:: 'tnieW anything about"“if.' Something of unusual interest con cerning this earliest drama was that the heights were reached in the be ginning. The stages were arranged as follows: the glory, the decline, and the decay. Mr. Parri.sh conclud ed his number on the program with the discussion of religion, court life, and love as themes around which cen tered tlje early dramas.

The Scribleris Club members have suddenly become extremely enthus iastic Several call meetings have been so animated as to atrract the attention of passers-by. Some mem bers have actually lost the dignity of their bearing (a suppo.sedly in- despensable characteristic of a Scrib leris Club member is his dignity) in moments of excitement. -•Ls a matter of information, the following explanation may be given: ' The constitution provides that the membership consist of the English faculty of the college and twenty- three .students who are chosen be cause of their creative ability and .scholastic .standing. The encourage ment of creative work along literary lines is the purpose of the club.
