From Wake Forest The greatest periods in our lives come and pass before it ever dawns upon our minds that we are actually in a period of greatness. In glancing over the seemingly short time spent at Mars Hill College, we discover it is evident that a very large space has been filled in the mind, in the mem ory, and in the heart. Reminiscences of these days are somewhat like those of Wordsworth when he re viewed his walk among the daffodils, “They flash upon the inward eye which is the bliss of solitude.” Many corrections possibly could be made should the time be to pass over again; yet a word can be made to voice appreciation for several powers on the Mars Hill campus pre valent perhaps on the campus of no other living institution. There is an undefined power in the . companion ship, friendship, love, and personal touch between the faculty and stu dents; there is the matchless spiritual ardor which captures, claims, and controls the devotion of all who know it; and again there is that love and comradeship which the students hold for each other. Many of our lifelong friends were met at Mars Hill. All the former students of Mars Hill who are now at Wake Forest Col lege send to the faculty and student group of Mars Hill their deepest and sincerest affection with desires for another year of profit and happiness. —Charles E. Maddry. Why Not Dates at Public Programs? Prompted by the fact that all suggestions are greatly appreciated, I offer this one for your careful con sideration. Let me say now before I proceed further that I am not advo cating anything which is unfair or unjust, but this which I am now about to mention is merely a sugges tion and is to be considered as such. That which I should like to call at tention to just now is first to be con sidered by the faculty and then any others in official positions. It is gen erally known by the whole of Mars Hill that we have. I’m grieved to say, too much rowdiness at public pro- gframs given in our auditorium. It is also known that ladies have a mag ical power in the ■ taming of tigers, leopards, and men. With this intro duction I would like to suggest that we be allowed to have dates at our public programs. The benefits de rived from this action are easily With the young man’s atten seen. w IN LIGHTER II VEIN • P llllllllllllllllll Mary Brock to Loraine Payne: Do you expect your marriage to be a happy one?” Loraine; “OL, yes! I guess so. But if it isn’t, Wade Worley has promised either a divorce suit or sui cide; so you see I am not running much of a risk. Nathan Brooks' to C. W. Rogers; “Come, old boy, brace up! Go home and stifle your sorrow.” C. W. Rogers: “What! Choke my mother-in-law to death?” Before school opened at Mars Hill, the following conversation was heard between Louise Clark’s kid brother ^nd McKay Dryman: “Why do you dislike me so, Edward? What have I done to deserve it?” Edward: “Well, when you call on Sis, you put the clock back an hour, and that makes me late for school, and I get licked for it.” There is more truth than poetry in this time-honored adage of Wil liam Shakespeare’s that “there is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood leads on to fortune.” And from the superfluous amount of these unsolicited landslides in foot ball scores and otherwise it seems that some of these block-headed jackanapes have taken the inveterate “wise-acre” at his word and plunged head first into the raging billows. Especially is this true in football, and results are varied in the case of the individual teams. Take the Wake Forest - Carolina game for instance. The former threw themselves at the tide as it thundered by and were given a rule jolt by the heartless Tar Heels. They had received the thrash ing of their lives at the hands of their bitterest enemies with nothing to show for it but a lot of stiff legs and sore arms plus a dearly-bought goose egg for the record books. The afore mentioned goose egg, by the way, bears no relation whatever to that of the magpcal she-gander in the pro verb. In the case of Carolina the tide responded most beautifully. According to the history of the Roman legend it was Virgil who made the bold assertion that “a wo man is a fickle and changeable thing always.” Evidently he was a bach elor or he would have known better than to make such a statement; but even at that, friend Virgil, the freckle-faced belles of your day and time had nothing whatever on these gravy-soaked athletes of the modern world. Still the editor’s bull wandered on unmolested till it came to rest by a sign that read, “Spirit Manifested by the Mars Hill Student Body in Back ing Athletics.” When Coach Roberts’ gridiron eleven trotted to their posi tions on the field against Catawba Saturday the twenty-ninth of Sep tember a welcoming roar rent the air which made the howl of the po litical under-dog small indeed by comparison. It sounded like a flock of bantam roosters crowing for light wmes and beers in the midst of a cyclone. Being cheered to the echo gave the boys a stimulus and an in centive to win; so they proceeded to romp on the opposition with vigor and carried off the big honors of the day with a 12-0 decision. It takse an invincible spirit back of a team to win but “where there’s a will there’s a way.” Let there be pep in evidence at these games and Mars Hill will make a top-notch eleven—one that can be depended on to win and win consistently. —^Ray Bowman. Three Teachers Seek Ph. D. Degrees This School Year at M.H. In the school activities of the present year the students of Mars Hill must not fail to pause and pay tribute to those teachers who are away to gain a better knowledge of their subject for the following years. Mr. R. A. Lineberry, head of the Science Department, is at the Uni versity of North Carolina working for his Ph. D. in chemistry. Mr. Line- berry received his B. S. at Guildford College in 1920. Later he was given an M. S. at the University where he is now striving toward higher aims. Mr. I. N. Carr, Dean of Mars Hill College, having received his A. B. and M. A. degrees at Carson-Newman and his M. A. at the University of North Carolina, is at Durham, N. C., attending Duke to complete his work for a Ph. D. in History. Mr. A. N. Corpening, professor of Bible, is attending the University of Pennsylvania and Crozier Theologic al Seminary for the completion of his work toward a Ph. D. in Bible. Eastern Carolina Students Reorganize On Tuesday, October 2, the stu dents of Eastern Carolina met for the purpose of reorganizing the Eas tern Carolina Club. Eastern Caro lina is well represented at Mars Hill this year, and some of the represen tatives are making outstanding lead ers on the campus. The club is plan ning to carry out a program of work that will be greater and more bene ficial than that of any previous year. The following officers were elected to help carry out the plana for the year: P. P. Renfrew, president; Alma Dark, vice-president; and Ellen Royal Jones, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Lee was re-elected sponsor. Bill Logan: “There, there, Frank, you are too big to cry.” Frank Juskins: “Yes—yes, and I ain’t big enough to swear.” Bill Logan to Helen Brown: “You know I love you. Will you marry T«A?» Headquarters FOR Glass Rings Society Pins Invitations Garpenter-Matthew Quality Jewelers. Pack Square and Broadway Helen Brown: “But, my dear boy, I refused you only a week ago.” Bill: “Oh! was that you?” Walter Childs to Alma Dark’s lit tle brother; “Say, kid, how would you like for me to be your big brother?” “Aw, g’wan!” replied the lad. “If you ain’t got the nerve to ask ’er. I’ll do it fer ye fer a quarter.” tion wholly occupied by the one be side him, the young lady’s eyes avert-1 d api)ealingly upward at a forty-five degree angle, and the two staging a dialogue equal to a Shakespearean scene in Romeo and Juliet, it is im mediately evident that all unnec essary noise would miraculously dis appear, and all would be as serenely quiet as a musical river flowing over pearly sands. The above suggestion is the rem edy which I would suggest for this prevalent evil at our entertainments. I. J. Sumner to O. J. Graham: “Cheer up, Graham, old boy. There are just as good fish in the sea as ever were caught.” Graham; “Perhaps there are, but what is a fellow to do when he is out of bait?” MARS HILL BUS LINE MARS HILL, N. C. Leaves Mar.
