death — TRAGIC?
' Is death a tragedy? Is it the tragic ending of a life well spent
or a life thrown away? Death in itself is not a tragedy; death is
something beautiful. The tragedy lies in the fact that the life
is not spent as it could be. The tragedy lies in the fact that the
soul is not prepared to enter the Home of Souls. There is where
the tragedy is. But a life slipping away after living a noble, pure,
upright life is a beautiful thing—a thing we all must face. The
slipping away of one of our fellow students was not a trapdy,
however so it might seem; it was merely the passing into higher
realms, celestial realms of the soul, of one who lived so nobly
and uprightly on the campus in every-day life. —F.P.J.
TO NIGHT OF JUNE 20, 1929
Have you seen the moonlight sleeping
In the Carolina mountains?
Have you seen the dream-mists hover
Round the stately silent summits^
Clinging round in soft embraces.
And the silver dew of kisses?
There methinks in Nature’s garden
Planted round in deef 'profusion
In the mountains and the valleys.
Nourished by the streams of water
Babbling dreamy conversations
In their journey to the ocean.
Laughing mirth and merry laughter,
Singing sweet and solemn dirges
Where some ‘native seer is sleeping.
Nature here delights to ramble
In and out among her children.
Leaving fragrance where she lingers.
Rambling in the virgin forests.
Prone to loiter at the river
Or upon the grassy meadow.
All around her sweetness leaving.
* * *
O the moonlight sleeping yonder
On the dim outline of summits'
O the dream-mists in the valleys
And the deep nocturnal silence!
O the glory in my bosom
.\nd the God within my being!
—D. L. Stewart.
Too often, after the close of the
football season, students are prone to
the thought, “Just another season
closed.” Most of us are unmindful of
the actual toil and hardship each man
...1 the squad undergoes during the
season—the unremitting training, the
incessant scrimmage, and then ail
the knocks and bruises in the actual
game. “All for Alma Mater,” we
might say, or “it’s part of the game.”
True, and in both instances Mars
Hill can say that the “team was
there.” But back of it all is the in
domitable spirit, the good spo
ship, and the loyalty. As a t^
rise to remark that they
playing quite a stiff schedule
did not win all the games, but
credit be it said that in eac
each man was in there figh
best. And where one gives
it follows that the season was
ful.

W. C. Wagoner, a student of this college, died
Saturday, November 23, at 12:55 o’clock. His death
was preceded by a very short illness, having gone
to the infirmary the preceding Thursday night.
The students and faculty were very deeply grieved
because of his death. The following went to his
home to express sympathyjto the family in their
bereavement; Professor R. M. Lee, Miss Nora
Kelly, DeForrest Hasty, Wade Baker, and James
Smart.
On Monday afternoon, at the Yadkin Valley
church, the last tribute of honor and love was paid
to a young man v/hose life was a burst of sunshine
to his friends and a blessing to the institution
which he attended.
William was of a quiet nature. He said very lit
tle, but he always had a smile for whomever he
met on the campus. He attended religious services
regularly. His society and class work was carried
out with diligence. It is believed that his vacant
seat in the hall will be hard to fill.
Somewhere beyond this world there is infinite
power and eternal life. The blessed Christ who
whispered “peace” to the troubled waters of Gal
ilee has whipered “peace” to the soul of our de
parted friend. There his tired eyes have opened
to the light of a blissful immortality. —D.A.H.
