McLeod, Cor.) After spirited try-outs, the girls waited with bated breath the dis- cision of the debate council. One girl went so far as to leave the dining hall to see the names of the chosen ones posted on the bulletin board. After passing on the ones who had tried out, the council asked the fol lowing to report for duty as inter collegiate debaters for the coming year: Hazel Broxton, Nellie Butler, Bon nie Dolan, Grace Garrett, Marjorie Ghent, Bessie Stevenson, Charlotte Hooper, Virginia Isenhour, Florence Johnson, Josie Oliver, Zora Riddle and Lillian Turbyfill. It is interesting to note that River- mont dormitory has the most re presentatives; eight of its inhabitants were selected. Another interesting fact is that four states are represent ed. Outside of North Carolina, the state of South Carolina leads with two; while Tennessee and Maryland have one each. With this variety of several states and the ability shown at the try-outs, we are looking for them to make this year the greatest of all. We hope they better the record of last year which shows only one defeat. Let’s Back that team of determined debaters, more power to them! Yee- aahh, team we are for you! Lions Win Turkey Day Football Game Reese Stars as Eleven Play Heads-Up Football. The Rutherford Ramblers were de feated by the Mars Hill Mountain Lions Thursday on the local field by the score of 14-6. Mars Hill outplayed the opponents in every department of the game, and should have won by at least a margin of twenty-four points. The Lions placed the ball within the 14-yard line five times in the first half without scoring. The ball was in Rutherford’s territory practically all the time during the first period. Thanks to the kicking of Camnitz, only once in fhe first. half was the Mars Hill goal in danger. This was after a 36-yard run off tackle to the 9-yard line. Here three line plays were made with six yards yet to go. Here a pass is grounded. Then fol lowed the longest run of the day when Captain Anderson from punt formation dashed sixty-four yards up the field, placing the ball well into enemy territory before being downed. The Lions broke the ice early in the second period when Buckner got the kick-off and advanced it to the 40- yard line. Reese then skirted around left end for twenty-five yards. Here Continued on Page Three The Euthalian Literary Society piesented its thirty-eighth annual an niversary program Monday night No vember 25 at 7:16 P. M. The program had been scheduled for Saturday night but because of the death of William Wagoner it was postponed until Monday night. At the beginning of the program Miss Louise Wilkins and Mrs. O. E. Roberts, both former Nons, played a march, while the Eu and Phi presi dents and Mr. N. S. Whitaker, led by the marshals, marched to the stage, where the Euthalian president re cognized the Philomathian president. The audience then joined in the sing ing of Star Spangled Banner, after which Mr. Whitaker led in prayer. The curtain was drawn and T. M. Hamby, of South Carolina, gave an oration, (“Peace”) which received much applause from the audience. Preston Gibbs, of Madison County, gave a declamation, “The Victory of the Vanquished.” Following this the curtain was closed, and Miss Louise Wilkins rendered a violin solo, ac companied at the piano by her moth er, Mrs. W. E. Wilkins, while the stage was being put in order for the debate. The debate was the next number on program. The qutfry was “Re solved, That the Initiative and the Referendum Should Be Adopted in North Carolina.” The first speaker on the affirmative was Boyd Brown, of South Carolina, who introduced the query well and began the proof for the affirmative. The second speaker for the affirmative was W. C. Capel, of Montgomery County, who com pleted the proof for the affirmative. Mr. Capel also gave an excellent re buttal. A. T. Usher of South Carolina was the first speaker for the nega- , tive and gave good argument for his side of the question. C. H. Hamby, of South Carolina, the second speak er for the negative, also presented good argumentation, and made a fine appearance in his rebuttal. The re buttals were very spirited and each speaker seemed to have plenty of en thusiasm. The judges renderd their decision in favor of the negative. The next number on the program was an oration, “Youthful Tragedy- Rewarded,” by J. L. Holmes, of Ire dell County. Following this J. Mack Moore, of Caldwell County, gave a declamation, “Immortality,” by R. L. Taylor. The entire Euthalian group brought the program to a close by singing the Eu song. A large audience attended the pre sentation; the community, as well as the college, was well represented. Mars Hill Students Enjoy Talks by Noted Carolina Jurists Judge Johnson, Old Mars Hill Stu dent, Makes Splendid Chapel Talk. On last Friday morning, November 22, the Mars Hill college departed from her usual schedule for a very substantial reason. Judge T. L. John son, who is thought by many to be the leading jurist in North Carolina, came over from Asheville to address the student body of Mars Hill college. Judge Johnson was accompanied by Attorney J. D. Anderson. After a few words by Mr. Moore, Mr. Anderson introduced Judge Johnson who held the attention of the entire student body for over half an hour. His address was one of the most interest ing ones that has been given in chapel this year. He divided the elements man’s success into three divisions; namely, industry, integrity, and re ligious faith. His discussion of these showed those listening that he was not only a leading jurist but a scholar. Judge Johnson and Mr. An derson were both old Mars Hill stu dents. This may well serve as in spiration for those who are at Mars Hill now. Phis Hear Some Extempore Speeches The Philomathian Literary Society held its regular program of the week Friday night. The program was made a little shorter than usual on account of a special business session; however, an interesting program was pre sented. The program was opened with a declamation, “The Rider of the Black Horse,” by Jajnes Neely. Ro|>- eri Robinson played a saxophone so lo, accompanied by Vernon Jordan at the piano. They played a second number by request of the audience. The victims of extemporaneous speeches were Creasman Brown and Grant Kennedy. John Cain was claim ed the victim of an extemporaneous song. He rendered “The Old Rugged Cross.” Ralph Goforth, a real com edian himself, delivered the comics. Philomathians Present Thirty-ninth Anniver sary Program Saturday The annual Philomathian Literary Society Anniversary Program will be given on Saturday night, December 7th. This anniversary will mark the thirty-ninth year and milestone in the history of the society. During these thirty-nine years much progress has been made. It can be seen more each passing year that the advantage one receives in lite rary society work is unequaled. A spirit is found therein that is rarely seen—a spirit of brotherly love, and a spirit and determination to accom plish something really worth while. The literary part of the program will be something as follows: two ora tions, given by Thomas L. Dysard and T. Carl Brown, two declamations, given by DeForrest A. Hasty and Frank S. Dale, and a debate, “Resolv ed, That the Jury System Should Be Abolished in the United States.” The affirmative will be represented by W. Scott Buck and James Cherry; the negative will be represented by Wil liam Beal and Wade Baker. An interesting and benefiting pro gram is expected, and we feel that none will be disappointed in it. The Philomathian Literary Society ex tends to everyone a hearty and cor dial invitation to attend their thirty- ninth anniversary.

' Continued on Page Tour Allpresses All-Star Company Presents Interesting Program. The students of Mars Hill College enjoyed a splendid musical recital in the auditorium on Saturday night, November 16. The program was given by the Allpress All-Star Company which is sent out by the Piedmont Bureau of Asheville. The company was composed of three persons: a vio linist, a ’cellist, and reader who also played the piano. The program was varied, containing both classical and popular music. Perhaps an added attraction to the program was the fact that many had dates. Some in the audience seemed to enjoy their dates as well as the music. The student body appreciates the work of the public and social func tions committee, which is headed by Mr. Lee, in their efforts to make the time spent at Mars Hill more worth while. I An unusually interesting program was given in the Clio-Phi hall Thurs day afternoon. The musical numbers were dramatized as well as played and sung. “Carolina Moon” was soft ly played while Mae Bragg was seat ed beside some vines, with a moon peeping over the horizon. “There’s a Rainbow Around My Shoulder” was dramatized by Lacy Mae Kickliter, who by all actions signified that she was in love. The next number was “Sweethearts On Parade”. The sweet hearts were Lacy Mae Kickliter, Ruth Hoke, Alta Ruth Reese, and Willie Hensley. Celia Garren was the forlorn young gentleman who stood wistfully gazing after the happy young couples. Louise Patton search ed through her box of treasures, pic tures, letters and what-nots while “Among My Souvenirs” was being played. Katie Sneed acted the part of the beautiful Indian maiden as “Ramona” was being played. Gladys Roberts was the girl in “Girl of My Dreams.” It’s the “workers” that are happiest — the shirker rarely “pieces out” with himself and success. On Thursday night November 14, the annual tapping ceremony of the Golden Bough, honor society of Wake Forest college was held. Twelve new men were tapped. Among the twelve were Charles A. Modely and Bruce M. Tomberlin. These two young men have received the highest honors at Wake Forest college, and Mars Hill feels proud of them. Dr. C. S. Black, associated protes tor of chemistry of Wake Forest col lege, spoke to the science department of the Piedmont District, November the first. Dr. Black’s subject was “The Value of Science”. In his dis cussion he told of the progress in Science since the World War. The Mars Hill Club at Wake Forest met recently for the purpose of elec ting a sponsor. After consideration of several candidates, Miss Frances Watkins was elected. At a recent meeting of the Kappa Phi Kappa, honorary educational fra ternity of Wake Forest college. Miss Barbara Freeman of Asheville, N. C. was chosen sponsor. Miss Temmie Fite was recently elected sponsor of the Wake Forest Ministerial class. Miss Fite is to be congratulated for this honor. Bruce Johnson is operating room supervisor in the Archibald Memorial Hospital at Thomasville, Ga. Mr. C. H. Pinner is principal of school at Mount Olive, N. C. Mr. Pinner is doing splendid work. Mr. Emilio D’Aboy is employed by the U. S. Rubber Export as assis tant Spanish translator of consular invoices. He is also taking a Y. M. C.. A. night course in radio mechanics. The home of Mr. D’Aboy is in New York City. Continued on Page Four On Wednesday evening, Nov. 27, the Dramatic Club presented “Her Temporary Husband,” a comedy in three acts. The plot was unusual. Blanche Ingram whose father had plenty, willed all to her provided she did not marry Clarence Topping. Tom Burton saw Blanche eating at the Ritz one day and immediately fell in love with her. Dr. Gordon Spenser of the Riverie Sanatorium is asked to provide her temporary husband. Through Judd, the butler, Tom Bur ton plays a farce and unknown to Blanche, marries her. She thinks he is an invalid with one foot in the grave and the other on the brink. At Southampton, Blanche’s summer home, gradpally Tom, with his many sly tricks, meets Blanche who thinks he is a good looking man in search of his grandfather whom she thinks she has married. They fall in love, and Blanche realizes that Clarence is af ter her money. So a reconciliation takes place between the wife and “her temporary husband.” Tom Dysard acted admirably the role of “her temporary husband.” Ray Tolbert carried the rich comedy part of Judd, the butler. T. Carl Brown was equally as good in the role of the scrupulous lover, and Mac Moore fitted well the part of the dig nified doctor. Sybil Pace very fit tingly filled the place of Blanche In gram, the girl who was first in love with Clarence Topping, then fell for Tcm Burton. Ruth Whitmire, the doc tor’s chief nurse and also his sweet heart, did splendidly in the role that was hers. “Morning Watch” Being Held. On the morning of October 18 the Y, W. A. Council, together with Miss Coleman and Miss Bowden, arose early and hastened to the Cascades for a brief prayer service. The leaves were turning, making the spot beside the stream an ideal place for prayer and meditation. Miss Coleman said that it was one of her dreams that had come to pass —a Morning Watch at Mars Hill. She suggested that the Y. W. A. girls be the first ones to start the early morn ing prayer service. Since that morn ing before breakfast at the Cascades, the girls have been conducting Morn ing Watch in the Teachers’ Parlor. Not only the members of the Council are invited to come but every girl who thinks she can sacrifice fifteo i minutes immediately before th-2 breakfast bell rings.
