Miss Bowden
Saturdoy, Oct. ' 3, was not com
plete for Miss Bi den when supper
came on.
About seven-tlS ty the president
of the Teacher Tl lining Class went
to Miss Bowden’s room and asked
her if she would go to the art room
for a few minutes.
The room had been artistically dec
orated, and the honoree only saw
rows of empty chairs as the receiving
line. Still wondering what the idea
could be for such an occasion, she
allowed herself to be placed in her
seat of honor. At this time the mem
bers of the class in their pretty
dresses with smiling faces ran mer
rily in and showered her with loads
of flowers, banking them on her in a
profusion.
Someone began to play “There’s
Within My Heart a Melody,” and all
joined in the singing. This was the
beginning of a delightful and jolly
evening, and the mixed emotions of
the teacher wore away as the even
ing progressed. Much amusement
was created by the impromptu comic
debate and miscellaneous speeches.

one end of the hall, the Clios and
Phi’s at the other, and the faculty
in the center. While dinner was in
progress, the students had the op
portunity of renewing old friend
ships, meeting former acquaintances
and meeting those of their respective
societies who were here years ago.
There were both old and new stu
dents from many states. As the time
was limited and it was impossible to
hear from everyone, it was decided
that the best thing to be done under
the circumstances was to elect a rep
resentative from each group. Those
representing each state were asked
to rise when the name of the state
was called, and select a representa
tive. North Carolinians chose as
their representative Mr. Elliott, one
of the faculty; South Carolina, Mr.
Blackwell, also a member of the fac
ulty; Virginia, Dr. 0. E. Sams; Ten
nessee, Dr. Bert Sams, of Marshall.
The Cosmopolitan Club, composed of
those from states other than the ones
named, chose Bessie Stevenson.
Olympia Fletis represented Central
America.
Several splendid talks were made
also by the following persons: Mr.
Blackstock, of the Buncombe Alumni
Association; Ostelle Warren, presi
dent of the Gaston County Alumni
Association, which was the first to be
organized and which now is the
largest association of its kind; Mrs.
Whit Gaskins, Asheville. After all
the others had spoken, Mr. Moore,
who was chosen to represent the fac
ulty, said a few words.
There were more yells, cheers, and
songs given by the societies before
the time drew near for the reunion
of the Clios and Non’s.
The college orchestra, under the
leadership of Miss Blackstock, added
much to the enjoyment of the eve
ning.

FOUNDERS DAY
CELEBRATION SUCCESS
(Continued on Page 3)
student is the soul. Great emphasis
was laid upon the value of a Chris
tian education.
Two questions were asked and
answered by Mr. Kester. “Is it pos
sible to educate the soul?” and “How
can it be done?” Mr. Kester defined
education as the leading out or the
development of one’s capacities—of
the soul, as the seat of emotions, of
the desires, and of the will power.
He said the soul should be educated
to discern between right and wrong.
“The mind and the body can be edu
cated; therefore, the soul can,” he
went on. He said it was possible to
educate the soul because it has been
done. To illustrate he pointed out
how the fishermen of Galilee became
leaders and referred also to Luther,
Knox, Wesley, and other great men.
Having shown that it is possible to
educate the soul, Mr. Kester named
several ways in which it could be
educated.
“First,” he said, “we must fall out
of love with self and fall in love with
God. Again, follow the gleam of the
best religious experiences. Keep our
souls in touch and in tune with the
spiritual, eternal God.” Mr. Kester
defined “keeping in toueh with God”
as prayer, and said that prayer was
not merely calling over words but
was fellowship with God Himself.
Such prayer,” he said, “casts silence
and meditation. It is not an open
hand to receive, but an open heart to
become.”
The speaker’s eyes were flashing
fire, nad his body swaying with a
holy zeal and enthusiasm as he said
emphatically, “We need souls who
are sensitive to the Divine Pres
ence.”
When the sermon was closed, the
audience stood and sang “Lead On,
O King, Eternal.” From the audi
torium to the dining hall the congre
gation hastened for the next number
on the program—dinner.
The Philomathian Literary Society
met Friday, Oct. 12, and, because of
the numerous visitors who were pre
sent, dispensed with the program for
the evening with the exception of
Hoyt Smith’s comical reading, “The
Relation of the Mosquito to the Hu
man Family.”
Dr. 0. E. Sams, president of Blue-
field College, Bluefield, W. Va., gave
a very interesting and enlightening
address on the history of the society.
He traced the society from its begin
ning in 1898 to the present date,
making many comparisons during
the process. Even the difference be
tween the halls of now and then was
briefly mentioned.
Mr. W. Howard Plemmons spoke
on the spirit of the society. One of
the most appealing things at Mars
Hill is the society spirit. Through this
medium the stay of many students is
made more pleasant and profitable
than it would otherwise have been.
The society holds a dearer place in
the hearts of most alumni than any
other institution at Mars Hill. Dur
ing his speech Mr. Plemmons’ face
radiated the warmth and power of
the Phi spirit.
Much beneficial advice was offered
by Mr. Ellis Jones, Asheville, N. C.;
Mr. Don. C. Young, also of Asheville,
N. C.; Rev. Ben Eller, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, Statesville, N.
C.; Dr. Burt Sams, Marshall, N. C.;
Mr. Clarence Blackstock, president
of the Buncombe County Mars Hill
Alumni Association, Asheville, N. C.;
Mr. L. D. Edwards, Mars Hill, N. C.;
Mr. Zack Eller, Mars Hill, N. C.;
Mr. Calvin Edney, a winner of the
L. D. Edwards Oratorical Medal,
Mars Hill, N. C.; Mr. Dewey Jamie
son, a winner of the C. B. Mashburn
Debater’s Medal, Burnsville, N. C.;
Mr. E. 0. Burnette, Marshall, N. C.;
Mr. William Dockery, Marshall, N.
C.; Mr. Paul Grogan, Clyde, N. C.;
Mr. Cecil Bost, New London, N. C.;
Mr. J. P. Huskins, Burnsville, N. C.;
Mr. Fred Drake, Horse Shoe, N. C.;
and numerous others.
After the speeches refreshments
consisting of punch and wafers were
served. As the visitors were dismissed
from the hall, everyone breathed a
prayer that many more such reunions
be held both for the benefit of the
present members and the former
ones.
tion to all of the Cll’s interested.
Because of such a heavy course
and so many outside activities, the
president, Carl Meares, tendered his
resignation, which was accepted by
the club. James Baley automatically
became president, and the club is ex
pecting great things of him.
Mars Hill Goes
For Herbert Hoover
The straw vote taken in chapel
Monday, Oct. 22, shows Mars Hill,
both students and faculty, going
strong for Hoover. The Republican
presidential candidate carried every
group in college, even the ones who
work in the kitchen during chapel
going 6 to 2 for him. Norman
Thomas, Socialist candidate for pres
ident, received one vote. He does
not seem to be the choice of the Mars
Hill students. Since the days of
Washington no president has been
unanimously elected. Neither is Hoo
ver unanimously elected in the minds
of Mars Hill. Smith has a very
strong representation. The female
voters gave Hoover his biggest ma
jority. The vote for the girls being
Hoover 103, and Smith 49, giving
Hoover a majority of 54. The vote
of the boys was much closer. Smith
receiving 93 to Hoover’s 116, a ma
jority of 23. To the faculty goes
the honor of having the largest per
centage for Hoover, the vote being
Hoover 12, Smith 1, and Thomas 1.
The total vote for Hoover is 231, for
Smith 143, and for Thomas 1. Hoo
ver’s majority in the school includ
ing the faculty reaches 87. The en
tire student body did not vote, also
many unsigned ballots were cast out.
The number who did vote, however,
may be taken as representative of
the whole as 375 ballots were count
ed.
This is the first time that such a
straw vote has been held at Mars
Hill College. The Hilltop wishes to
thank the student body and the fac
ulty for their hearty co-operation
which made the event possible.
SENIORS FAGE
THE GAMERA
“Oh, do I look all right?” “Will
this dress do?” “Hurry, we’re going
to be late.” And with such ejacula
tions the senior pictures for the 1929
Laurel were begun. For three morn
ings the familiar, “Mr. Meares has
an announcement,” prefaced the sche
dule for the day.
The Seniors for seven weeks have
ardently desired that Mrs. Howard,
the photographer, be transformed
into a wizard and invent a camera
that wouldn’t be forced to take what
was placed in front of it. But as
* great were the expressions - of woe
last week when the actual pictures
were made greater will be the weep
ing and wailing when the proofs be
gin to come in. For it is truly pitiful
how few of the seniors are beautiful!
Remember, Seniors, however, that
beauty is only skin deep. Your pic
ture in the Laurel will only be a re
minder of your deeds.
Howard Studio, of Asheville, has
been awarded the contract for pic
tures this year. The studio has an
enviable record and maybe the weep
ing and wailing can be curtailed be
cause of this record. The Laurels are
due to come out next April — and
then. Seniors, beware!
SPILMAN GIRLS
ARE RESGUED
FROM GHIMERA
A creak! a scream! All third floor
was in a turmoil. Spilman was the
scene of disaster. Panic-stricken
faces were peering from each door,
and, as the news spread, the hall was
filled with the scream, “A man!” The
tension was broken when two gal
lant heroes appeared in the images
of Fred Bose and Joe Womble. Arm
ed with powerful flashlights, they
climbed the attic steps without fal
tering. The stage for the struggle
was all in readiness for the terrific
monster having four legs, claws,
bristling black fur, and fiery green
eyes, who was expected to confront
them. Our two bold heroes approach
ed the terrible monster, and after a
gruesome struggle emerged victor
ious. Our heroes! They received
their honors in forms of happy smiles
as they strutted down through third
floor avenue. The loss caused by this
catastrophe was estimated at about
21,222 tears. The main losers were
Miss Helen Ramsey and Miss Helen
Woody. '
Scribleris Gives
Keats Program
A delightful program was given in
the Scribleris Club on Tuesday night,
Oct. 23, on John Keats. Louise Clark
opened the program with a very in
teresting paper on the life of John
Keats. Irma Henderson read a de
lightful paper on the Bibliography of
Keats. In conclusion Madeline May
read a most charming paper on
Keats’ Idea of Beauty.
In the business session Mr. Eliott
told the club that it was possible for
Mr. Byrd, Dean of Cullow’hee State
Normal, to lecture to the club this
Saturday; so the club unanimously
voted to invite Mr. Byrd to lecture to go, the club extends its deepest
at one o’clock Saturday. The Scrib- regrets, hoping that such an oppor-
leris Club extends a cordial invita- tunity will never be missed again.
South Carolina Club
Enjoys Jolly Outing
The South Carolina .Club left the
Hill on Saturday, Oct. 13, for its
first social gathering of the y.ear. Its
members enjoyed a delightful walk
down to the Old Mill, where they
kindled a fire and showered it with
forked sticks loaded with weiners
and marshmallows.
After lunch was finished, a host of
jokes and some interesting games
were enjoyed. It was discovered that
a great sense of humor existed among
the group, especially in Oscar Gra
ham and James Moseley who kept the
crowd laughing all the time. Messrs.
Blackwell and England, the chaper
ons, assisted in giving everybody a
good time.
When all the fun seemingly had
been enjoyed, they started back to
the Hill and concluded the day with
a yell for the Old South State.
To those who found it impossible
