Mars Hill has been playing high Mb.ss basket-ljall this season, and will .stand a fine chance of winning the title. According to information re- •eived here, Tennessee We.sleyan also kgg a good record. That team has defeated .some of the bset college teams in Tennessee this year. Little is known of the strength of the «t3ier two entries. Max.s Hill and Wesleyan are doped to meet in the championship battle. It is said that the spirit of an or ganization is more important than anything eLse. But what is the spirit? The spirit of the Clio So ciety is felt the moment you enter the hall or come in contact with it.s members. New members often say, “I did not intend to join your society today, but the spirit of love, friend ship, and loyalty was so strong that I could not leave the hall \vithout joining.” It is impos.sible to reach the real depth of the .spirit of the Clio Lit erary Society and it is just as im possible to explain it. We may say it is a spirit of comradeship which binds its members together. It is a spirit that leads its members to al ways try to do the right thing. The spirit is purely unselfish—always helping others. The work and suc cess of the .society are built on the spirit that constitutes its foundii- tion. The spirit is the society. Euthalian Notes It was decided in the Eu-Non Hall that the United States should join the League of Nations. At lea.st that is what three judges unanimously decided, after listening to a .spirited pro-League and anti-I^eague debate. But it is altogether possible (as Mr. Moore says) that “another set of judges might have rendered a dif ferent decision.” The Eu-Non Hall was the of much interest Thursday afternoon, February the second, when members of the society staged a chapel ex ercise. Quite a bit of amusement wa.s created, and roars of laughter wei- produced as the “teachers ’ entered and took their places on the stage with their usual dignified manne when appearing in chapel progiam-'. The devotional exerase was con ducted by Mr. Lee who was imper sonated by Louise Clark. Mr. Mooix made quite a number of aniiounct- ments and comments along with othe. memters of the faculty. Mr. Mooie was better known to the audience a Bonnie Hildebrand. Mr. Fan- coii- tmued the program by leading every one in the singing of “Stand up. Stand up for Jesus.” Bessie Lieby played his part in a very a-editable manner. Mr. Fb,rr also rendeic.. solo. Miss Blackstock played a violi. solo which delighted the Ustenc. greatly. She appeared in the perso; of Ada Barefoot. Following t.i: number Miss Wingert gave a i ing entitled, “The Highwayman.’ Like unto all the rest that she gives, this reading was greatly enjoyed. Ethel S\^ianson was acting Miss "Wii. gert’s part. Misses Biggers and hin ton (Mary Sue Gribble and Nellie Powell) rendered a beautiful mu.sical number. I Philomathian Notes February 17, 1928 was an event ful day in the lives of all active Philomathians. The election of of ficers created Quite an uproar in the Phi ranks. A surplus of available material made the sele*ion more difficult. Those who lead for this .spring are as follows: President, Walton Kitchen; Vice- President, W. M. Gerald; Recording Secretary, Charles A. Maddi-y; Cor responding Secretary, H. T. Wells; Chaplin, C. L. BametSe; English Critic, W. N. Pope; Expression Critic, H- C. Isenburg; Pianist, Gaines Dob bins; Choister, Paul Grogan. The Pre.sident’s race wa.s e.special- ly lively. Just as nominations were •pened at least ten members strove to be recognized. Finally out of the termoii, Waltton Kitten, H. C. Isen- bur^, and W. M. Dockery were nomi nated. Campaign speeches were rulei «ut. Kitchen was elected with the slim plurality of eight votes. Elec tions .progressed very nicely until the pianist and choister were to be elected. A motion wa,s made and car ried -that a demonstration be required ef each candidate. John Kirk -was nominated for both positions but after his demonstrations he was -withdrawn in both cases. 0. M, H. created a sensation with his melo dious voice. At last Gaines Dob- t»Tui was elected pianist and Paul Grogan chorister. W'ith all the excitement about the new officers we must not forget the •Id ones who have served us .so faithfully. May they serve and lead people in later life just as efficient ly as they have the Philomathians. May they devote their every effort to humanity as wholeheartedly as they have to the society. Three cheers for the new offi cers. The Philomathians are behind them to a man. May you lead the Phi’s to heights of glory. May you set by your example a higher plane of literary work. May you leave the Society worthy of its parting mes sage, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” The United States and Ru.^isia are the only nations of great power that have maintained a stand-off-and- watch-’em policy, said the affirmative speakers, who deplored the “selfish policy” pursued by this counti-y. The aim of the League, emphasized Mr. Keller, is to promote peace, fellow ship and happiness in the world. We also as a nation need to insure our own safety and justice in interna tional affaii-s. But, objected Mr. J. O. Jones of the negative, “signing a paper” for peace will not in.sure international peace and harmony and eliminate world problems. You can beat a balking mule all day long, but you can’t make him move till you stick a bundle of oats under his nose, said Mr. Jones. (Some of us failed to see the connection, gentlemen. Could Mr. Jones have meant that Unde Sam must be fed “the r-ight -kind of oats?”) Other members of the faculty and their representatives were: Mrs. Vann —Mary EUis; Mrs. Shaw—Daisy Martin; Miss Bowden—Lucinda Han na; Miss Pierce—Raye Gillespie; Miss Gregg—EUen Royal Jones; Mrs. Line- berry—Winifred White; Mrs. Robert —Dorothy Whitaker; Mrs. Biggei-S:— Louise Woody; Miss Kelly—Vangie Peeler; Mrs. Nona Roberts—Kath erine Bennett; Mrs. Robinson—Zelma Bennett; , Mr. Corpening—Eloise Brooks; Di-. Pool—Bobby Freeman; Mr. 'Trentham—Elizabeth Minton; Mr. Stringfield—Nina Cabinis; Mr. Lineberry—Helen Tillery; Mr. Grubbs —Edna Wilhide; Mr. Furches—Fran ces King; Mr. McLeod—Helen Ram sey. But Mr. Burt Johnson, speaker for the affirmative, submitted that it is America’s duty to enter the League. Her entrance would not endanger her own security; rather it would keep down -war and insure the safety of our sister republics, for our power and position among the nations of the world would be a great influence for international harmony. Mr, Hager, speaking against the entrance of the United States into the Lieague, raised the grave issue of "intemational complica-tions.” The peoples of the earth, emphasized Mr. Hager, are by laws natural and hereditary of such -widely different temperament that it is inevitable that trouble shall come. There will arise -vital entangling issues, misunder standings, maladjustments, said Mr. Hager, and we should find ourselves ensnared in a net of international complications and unable to get out ■without friction. Peoples of the world are divergent in their -views of in ternational relations, said Mr .Hager. Every member of the society was happy to have three actual teachers present, some community people, and a few new students. Several new members were joyously welcomed in to the society. Wake Forest, N. C. Feb. 13, 1928 Dear Mr. Corpening: The tryouts for inter-collegiate de baters were held last week and three other Mars Hill men were chosen: H. C. Hopkins, W. H. Bositic, and Paul Caudill. Out of the twelve de baters we have this year, four ol them are Mars Hill fellows. Others of ours who tried out—W. H. Plem- mons, W. M. Futrell, and R. K. Ben- field. Mr. J. R. Joyner, of the affirma tive, said there would be power enough in the League, provided the United States goes into it, to curb all disputes, prevent the manufac ture of war ammunition, and make world t)eace assured. The popula tion embraced by the countries which W. S. Privot and I debate the Univensity of West Viiginia next Friday here. Congratulations to you and your team for your -victory over Wol ford. Very sineee^y yours, P. W. Cooper. are members is practically three- fourths of the earth’s population. Can America be right and all the others -wrong ? Mr. L. A. Bird strengthened tlie arguments laid down by his col leagues standing against the League and cited history to validate his claims that peace pacts would not hold in case of strong friction. He called attention to the so-called “Holy Alliance” treaty made and violated by former European powers. A good fight. But, said the decision committee, the United States must join the League of Nations.
