The Policy of the Hilltop Again this year the Hilltop will be based on the axiom that a whole is greater than any of its parts and is equal to all of its parts. In addition to thsi the Hilltop will strive to represent the school as a whole, and it will not represent one society or organization with any higher esteem than another. All shall receive the same attention, and there shall be no favors shown. All students are invited to contribute to the paper and are assured that their material will receive careful consideration. Any criticism or suggestion will be gladly received. The Hilltop proposes to co-operate with all organizations on the campus and will work toward the building of a “Greater Mars Hill.” It will back athletics, support and foster all campus and religious activities, and will seek to be a medium through which the alumni can become better acquaint ed with the activities of the college. This issue will not reach the high standards attained by those who have gone before, but we assure you that this paper represents an honest-to- goodness effort on the part of the new staff. We shall depend on the grace of our readers to accept this issue kindly, remembering that we are new at the job and that it takes experience to attain perfection. Beginning now we ask for the absolute co-operation of every group, club, organization, and individual on the campus. If asked to write for the Hill top, kindly consent to do so, and your efforts will be greatly appreciated. Our goal is high, and it can not possibly be attained without the back ing and co-operation of students, faculty, and all. With your support and co-operation, the Hilltop will be a credit to you and to the school. Without your co-operation, the paper will be a total failure. Can we depend on your co-operation.—C. M. 0 0 0 Have Faith, and Be Faithful Vacation is over. School days have begun with their work and play. There are smiles of pleasure when old students meet, but there are excla mations of joy when old friends meet. We see many of the alumni stroll ing across the campus with their friends. Crowds of students that were rushing from matriculation to the book- room and the bursar’s office are now hurrying to the classrooms. We see new students with anxious faces emerging after the first lesson assign ments have been made. Often we hear faint sighs escaping from old stu dents as they try to answer the numberless questions of the now ones. Such questions as “Bill, which is the easier English teacher. Miss Pierce or Mr. McLeod?” are common. Students who make such statements as this are usually slack in their work. Today is the time to begin work, not tomorrow. One’s final grades depend largely on what he does now. It would be well for both new and ol d students to remember that it is not the teacher but the pupil who makes a' course easy or hard. It will take ambition, will-power, determination, and self-sacrifice to have a successful year's work at Mars Hill. It will be impossible for all students to take in every amusement; yet all will have the chance to enjoy plenty of wholesome fun. Dr. W. R. Cullom, of Wake Forest, gave us a motto that would be fine for all of us students to take as ours; “Have Faith; and be Faithful. 0> 0 0 So in this Hour I have alone I’ll think about the fate Of many men aboard the world Who’ll near the shore too late. —Chas. A. Maddry. ALUMNI COLUMN '4^ II 'Si? 'Si^ 'Si? 'Si? Vii*’ 'Si? Ai.' The Good Ship Hilltop It is with great fear and trembling that the new staff comes to the helm of the good ship Hilltop. The former skipper and his mates have set us ti record that will be hard to follow. We shall remember the efforts of this gallant crew and strive to maintain the reputation which they have es tablished. /ejpay tribute to their prowess; and though we are dubious of our ability to duplicate it, we shall do our best. In no good ship does the captain do it all. If we put on any steam, co operation is necessary. The engine room provides the power for all speed. Let’s slave in the engine room together. Let’s have no honorary passen gers. Let’s make every member of the crew a worker. It may be tough sailing at times, for rough waters are often reached; but, after the storm comes the calm, and after the cloud, the rainbow. Let’s make this ship worthy of our home country. Mars Hill, and of the Mars Hill flag which flies above us.—J. M. B. CLUBS ^ 'W M mm 0 With the opening of school will come the organization of numerous clubs with all that they mean in the lives of the students. The surest means of securing good fellowship and friendly rivalry between the stu dents from different states and coun ties is the banding together of all the students from one place into a club. The South Carolina, Tennessee, Eastern Carolina, Buncombe County, and Madison County Clubs have al ready organized and invite the stu dents from these places to come and join with them in helping to make the best year Mars Hill College has ever known. If there are as many as ten stu dents from other counties or states who have not already organized, they have the privilege of organizing a club; and, if there are a sufficient number from a community, county, or state, they should organize. A deed knocks first at thought. And then it knocks at will. That is the manufacturing spot. And will at home and well. It then goes out an act, Or is entombed so still That only to the ear of God Its doom is audible. —Emily Dickinson. Mr. Dan Hall received his M.

The countries other than the Unit ed States are Canada 2, Cent.’al A;'.; erica 3, and China 1. The reports secured from each in dividual registration card show relig ious beliefs and church affiliations to be as follows: Baptists 388, iMeih odists 18, Presbyterians 5, Quakers 1, Episcopalians 1, Free Will B.i; tists 1, Holiness 1, non-church mem bers 26. The number of non-church mem bers offers a real opportunity to bring about a closer relationship be tween the students who are Chris tians and those who are not. Tlic standard of work done by the stu dent body should be held as higli as possible and should act as a sponsor of the activities on the campus so that every ideal and tradition may be respected and honored. Much d* pends upon the spirit and efforts of the first-year college class, as it con tains more than half the total en rollment. So, in order to build up for ourselves that type of excellent 5^d commendable character which Mars Hill affords, let us be both a toiler for knowledge and a toiler for souls as we labor together during another year. ^ M M M ^ Is 4^ 4^ Y.

Since everyone is so vitally ested in today’s youth and ti bition of youth, a playlet e “Youth and Ambition,” was ni ficiently given.

Several new girls have already grasped the outstretched hand of friendship and joy in the participa tion of the Clio Spirit which has filled all old members with a new zeal, a greater courage, and a stronger de termination to make the society mean to the new members just what it means to them. The officers delight in the promise of new material and ideas with which to accomplish greater things. It is hoped that the programs can be so arranged that every member instead of a special few may be developed and trained. Therefore the pro grams arc not only given for plea sure and entertainment but for indi vidual development as well. 'There is no better place than the literary so ciety to rub off the rust and bring out the best that there is in one. For the benefit of those who are on our campus for the first time let us say that the object of the Clio Lit erary Society- is to develop in its members a higher sense of honor, truth, purity, and fidelity in all the pursuits of life; to give ease and free dom in public exercises; to create a taste and yearning for good litera ture; to cultivate social life, good fel lowship, kindness of heart, and to promote in every way honest, up right, enlightened womanhood.
