Nonpareils Render
Varied Program
For Our Picnic
Saturday is the day set apart for
Sunday School class socials or out
ings. On a party of that kind it is
necessary to be as congenial as pos
sible. Often it has been the case that
some members seem to see nothing
but the unpleasant things and then
give unfavorable reports on return
ing. But when we go on the outings
Saturday, let’s make them as plea
sant as possible, thereby giving every
one an opportunity to report nothing
but a wonderful time.
ually covered his face with a cloth
when he saw her. Mr. Stringfield, in
order that the work might go on, ex
plained that the act was all in the
process of picture taking and that he
had tried not to show his attitude.
The work is going along nicely now
and every student is expected to co
operate in making the Laurel the
best looking that has heretofore been
produced. It is the plan to complete
the individual pictures and to make
the group pictures before the leaves
have fallen.
The Nonpareil Literary Society
met for its regular program Thurs
day afternoon. The program had
been well planned and was heartily
enjoyed by everyone present. Miss
Sharon Buckner gave a reading, “The
Yellow Butterfly.” A piano solo,
“Tam-o’-Shanter,” was rendered by
Miss Helen Beckwifh. The “Cactus”
from 0. Henry was told in a very in
teresting manner by Miss Louise

for it, and he must make physical

ings. This great change will bring
about new business and new compe
tition.
Mr. Ramsey expressed the wish to
the students that they would carry
out the standards of moral living and
to live the spirit that reigns on the
campus. Every institution like Mars
Hill is worthy of its name. More goes
into the walls than mortar and brick.
The service of Christian teachers is
highly appreciated. One should not
be afraid of high ideals. This change
will test them, and if it breaks them
one will settle down to a routine of
work. When you go to the four winds,
the speaker advised, whatever you
carry, carry the ideal of service,
which will be a fragrant reach for a
pinnacle of a career. You will not
fear the way. You will be a real man
or woman. You will be victorious in
every battle. You will be high in
