Two minutes after four the first balloon popped. That was only the beginning of a dandy good time. The Seniors set aside Saturday, Oct. 27, as a day to act natural. Conse quently this party is dubbed “The Senior Kid Party.” For the past two -Ag w'ere seiecteu lu icau me months the Seniors have disguised \enty-nine in what is hoped to themselves in robes of dignity and knowledge, but on this afternoon in a fairyland of floating, colorful bal loons they re-entered the threshold of childhood. The lassies dressed in socks, bon nets, hair ribbons, and the lads dress ed in knee pants, socks, Windsor ties, and joined hands in playing “Farmer in the' Dale,” “Ring Around the ■Rosy,” and ‘-‘Stop Hand.” There were several quarrels over sw'eethearts and toys. Children are like that. Stick candy was served and each piece was hastily eaten, for you see the biggest eater was quite a hero. Then each“kid” tried to show off by giving a recitation or act on an .im promptu program. Master John Blackburn starred by giving a chorus girl imitation. Then, little Misses Katherine Bennett, Madeline May, Ruby Fowler, Fl-ances King, each in- turn gave a nursery rhyme. The smallest guest was Nelldeno Owen. She showered the guests with smiles as souvenirs. Mrs. 0-!.ven, the j beloved sponsor, played the role of r eTecond number on the pro- “Senior Mother.” Just before the wL a debate: “Resolved, that.Utroke of six the young merrymakers Monroe Doctrine should' be j cathered, joining sticky hands, wallc- I tihed ” The speakers of the af- ■ cd around the campus.

Mars Hill was exceedingly well represented at the B.S.U. Conference held at Chowan College, Murfrees boro, Oct. 19-21, judging from the two busses that departed from Spil- man Home one Thursday morning and arrived back late Monday loaded with happy delegates. Even after a 1000-mile trip their faces were joy ously happy, giving notice of fruitful days. Mrs. Biggers and Miss Winnie Rickett chaperoned the party which ivas swelled to sixteen with the addi tion of four CuUowhee girls in Ashe ville. This added much to the joy of all, and especially of one young Mars Hillian. The trip to Cho-wan was eventful, both days being filled to the brim with plans for the three days of the Conference. Yells and songs were practised until the Very highways, re sounded, and to good advantage too, for Mars Hill won second place in the. songs and yells. ■ Of course, this was -due to Fred Bose’s huge bass voice. The tv/o , days at Chowan were | wonderful ones, and the return trip was most happy. Somehow one could hardly, wait to get back to the campus. The conferences, forums, discussions, music, play hour — all gave untold inspiration, for it was a real student conference. Students mingled with students in planning for a better campus life; students gave to students their experiences with Christ. “All For His Glory” and “That We May Know Him” ran as a keynote through the entire con ference and into the lives and hearts of the delegates. Mars Hill was exceedingly well- represented at Chowan. In addition to the present Mars Hill students there were those from Wake Forest, Meredith, and Chowan, who claim Mars Hill as their Alma Mater. But the crowning touch was yet to come. At the last session of the conference Charles Maddry, one of the most be loved of Mars Hill’s former students, at present at Wake Forest, was elect ed president of the State B.S.U. for 1929. Patty Moore was elected state reporter. Mars Hill has had two of her students elected to this position in three years. Sunday night the delegation was entertained at Meredith and State Mother Biggers was happiest of all, for she was with her children; and indeed, no one received more from the trip than did she. It was a great conference in every way. Chowan poured out her hospi tality; God poured out His blessing. May they continue as His work goes on among students. Students of to day will rule the world tomorrow and student conferences give aid. “That we may know Him.” We think Bill Harold ought to go into vaudeville on the merits of his dry-land diving stunt that he pulled during the earthquake. We think he would be quite a success. * * ♦ CAN YOU IMAGINE— Mr. McLeod with overalls bn? Mr. Moore singing “The Sidewalks of New York?” Mr. Grubbs getting off the subject of the lecture? Mrs. Biggers voting for Al Smith? An odorless bug-chaser? Jimmy Cheery’s hair staying in place? I Jimniy Baley flunking a course? Mr. Lee allowing free trips to Asheville? This column having any sense in it? * * * ■ Several of the students cast their first votes the other day. Luck to them. All those that could vote did so, and those that could not vote told those that could how they ought to have voted. Herbie beat Al ’bout as bad as we would like to beat Oak Ridge. There should be a club for those who fail in one or more sub jects. They would have a large mem bership. ♦ » * I WONDER IF— The world would have come to an end had Al been elected? Carl Meares would look as cute without his glasses? James Baley would make high marks if he were as large as Ford James? Ollie May’s hair wouldn’t look bet ter with a permanent? Those were Mr. Elliott’s pajamas in the parade last week? (This is censored. Don’t read it.) You have read this much? * * * The campus would like to know whether Alice Beckwith keeps an ac count of her correspondence, and, if Headquarters FOR Glass Rings Society Pins Invitations Garpenter-Matthew Quality Jewelers. Pack Square and Broadway SO, how? * * * We would like to know where Bill Logan got the habit of saying “dad- jini,” and also how to give it the cor rect inflection to mean everything from “yes” to “no.” * * * We wonder if the fellow in 217 Melrose thinks he can sing, and, if so, for gosh sakes, why? We won der, also, why he sings everything to one tune. » ♦ ♦ It’s a pity we don’t have a swim ming pool. Some of the boys are afraid a shower will bite. ♦ * * If there is another earthquake we want to time Graydon Jordan and see if he can break his own ^record [for quick dressing and a hasty exit. He left so fast the last time that his roommate thought that if he would keep it up ho would be in home by six o'clock. ♦ ♦ * Deer Reeders; If you know any thing about your friend that he doesn’t want everybody else to know send it to Barny Ipsingwithz, and it will receive prompt publicity.

IF WE DON’T HAVE WHAT YOU WANT LET US GET IT FOR YQU THE STORE OF QUALITY, SERVICE, AND SATISFACTION “Ah, my friend,” said Mr. Black- well to H. T. Wells, “you should al ways be looking up.” “Not me, Mr. Blackwell,” respond ed Wells with much emphasis. “Not me with all these here chaps in air ships and balloons throwing sand and cigarette stubs.” 5(e * ♦ “Don’t bother, because I won’t marry you, Ed,” said Ruth Singleton kindly. “There are just as good fish in the sea.” “I know that, Ruth,” replied Ed Harrell, “but the sea makes me so sick I can’t catch the fish.” AN EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE It is with dee]) and abiding grati tude that I express to you teachers, students and friends of the village, my genuine and sincere feeling of appreciation for all your kindnesses in your own Mars Hill kindliest ways during my shut-in days. The Columbia University surgeon remarked to me when he secured the anaesthesist after my accident, “You have the best service in the United States, Miss Bowden.” I am made to believe that I have had the best Christian patience and kindness in the United States expressed to me since at Mars Hill. Henry Drum mond said, “Patience is love waiting to act, and kindness is love acting.” I want to extend to you individu ally my affectionate regard for all your thoughtful deeds, and I can never pay up my debt of devout thankfulness to God and to you, but I hope I may be able to pass it on to others. Most sincerely and gratefully yours. Beulah Bowden. Mrs. Shaw (calling to M. R. Mills who was behind the kitchen at the chicken coop) : “What are you doing out there, Mills?” Mills: “Why, I’m giving hot water to the chickens so they will be lay ing boiled eggs.” BILTMORE COFFEE SHOP A Good Place to Eat t- ALL KINDS OF SANDWICHES 2 Patton Avenue Next to United Cigar Store 4 ANNEX CAFE « We cater to the college man and cure his hunger.
