The combat IS held on the Teachers’ home field iich was frozen and not lacking in ots of ice and snow. Notwithstand- 'T the cold however both teams dis- lyed some good field running and ssing. I Starting in the first quarter the ons completely outclassed the Tea- ers in yard gainage until the last riod of the game. A pass in the .’st period, Camnitz to Plemmons itted the first touchdown along with . extra point. The second part of the first half ■ain saw Mars Hill score. This time pass from Camnitz to A. Albritton IS carried over for the second uchdown. The extra point was ,ded as a result of a line buck. During the third quarter neither am saw the goal post. Teachers had me back from the half with a great- spirit of determination than they d presented the first half, while the ons held their own under the series end-runs and line plunges. The last spray netted Teachers eir only marker of the day. After ars Hill had been driven back to own 36-yard line, Bralley carried 0 ball over for the lone marker. Try r the extra point failed. The game ended with the ball in c Teachers possession about the iddle of the field. 1 The line-up was as follows: three line plays gained only five yards. Reese then, on a reverse, I with beautiful interference, ran around left end for twenty-five yards and a touchdown. Camnitz went back to kick but Anderson took the ball and smashed his way through the line for the extra point. Another score quickly followed. Rutherford received and lost the ball in mid-field on downs. Plemmons made twelve yards around right end. From regular formation Reese squirm ed and sidestepped his way through the entire Rutherford team for thirty- two yards and a touchdown. Ander son again added the extra point as before, taking the old egg-plant and going off left tackle. Rutherford managed to put over a score in the final three minutes of play. They made a forward pass from the fifty-yard line that was good for fourteen yards. Then on another heave they completed a pass for six teen yards and stepped off the remain ing eight for a touchdown. The try for point failed. The Lions made fourteen first downs to six by the opponents. Dormitory Life When in Asheville Call on the ASHEVILLE BARBER SHOP 14 Patton Ave. One of the oldest and most up-to-date shops in town. 1 Our Motto: “Service and courtesy.” Work Guaranteed or No group of young women would exchange their dormitory for any other on the hill. Listen to their own testimonies. Spilman Girls occupy forty-six rooms in this home. Being ever thoughtful of our temporary home, we do all that we can to make the rooms attractive. The curtains so artistically draped, the pictures on the wall which have a history behind them, the potted plants on the little hand-made pedes tals, the gold fish chasing each other around in the bowl, and the home-like atmosphere breathed upon entering the rooms make a visitor or a teacher feel as though she were in her own room back home. We are also happy to have seven of our lady faculty members live with us; Missess Pierce. Wengert, Bowden, Coon, Biggers, El kins, and Harmes. They inspire us to be even more thoughtful of our rooms by keeping their own so clean and cozy. “Mother Diggers"’ room is just the great big living room where we all meet with Mother to talk over our joys and sorrows. Visitors are welcome into Spilman at all times. Find a convenient time and pay us a call; We are the same every day. Even though our doors are usually closed, our hearts are al ways open. From 7:00 A. M. until 9:00 P. M. we use one room continuously. Twice a day we scramble into this room as if we were going to a fire. Could you ever guess what we are after Why, it is just letters and packages from home and from friends—^that’s all. The potted plants near the front of this room furnish the beautiful inter ior decoration. There are many kinds of flowers as well as a marvelous ar ray of colored blossoms. “Pal of my cradle days,’’ “Carolina Moon,” and similar songs ring out through the half-opened windows as some bonnie lassie lets her dainty fingers glide over the keys of the paino. (This being the only room in which young men are permitted to talk to young ladies, it is quite popular—especially on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The couples scatter to the—Well, I will not say how many corners, ‘cause one evening, it might have might have twelve corners.) While through the many transparent wind ows the gorgeous sunsets and the marvelous moons can be seen. Oh, this room we all love so dearly is what—why, it’s the sunparlor, the general assembly room. The office and the teacher’s parlor bid each visitor and each student a hearty welcome. Each is attractively arranged, and always has lovely cut flowers placed in just the right spot. We thank Mrs. Biggers for being so kind in letting us use them to bring joy to others as well as ourselves. Often we hold our religious services through the week in these rooms. We always catch a gleam of the King of our home, and we hope the King of every girl’s heart when we go into these places to worship and praise Him. Rivermont We believe that Rivermont is the finest dormitory at Mars Hill. Many of us felt when we left home for the first time that we should never find anywhere that would take its place. We have Indeed found a second home. How our stoves with their fires re mind us of the old home-fires! Our doors are always open to our college sisters and our lay faculty, and espe cially to Miss Creal who is our foster mother since Mrs. Alderman left us. Her unselfish service is of value to us when we meet to exchange ideas and ideals. A fine Christian spirit is maintain ed in our home. God who made it pos sible for us to come to Mars Hill is always ready to strengthen and en courage us to reach up and grasp the higher and nobler things in life. Seve ral of the girls have surrendered themselves to do definite Christian work. All religious activities are en tered into with zeal and pleasure. We are here to learn. We take Christ as an example. His teachings are ob served by all. Treat Yes, Treat is our home. We, who have called it home these months and who have learned to love its \ory at mosphere, feel toward it, next to 0«.-. own homes we have known since childhood. Oh, it is a rickety old building with creaking stairs and gpreat big rooms full of large cracks, but we love it just the same. We love it because we live in close contact with each other. Because we are few in number, we have come to know each other more intimately. Intimacy not sunk to familiarity has caused us to share each others joy as well as problems. Although our rooms are large and hard to arrange, we for the most part, have them arranged comfortably as well as attractively. The stoves send ing forth their brilliant rays, the huge wood piles in the comer of the rooms, the beautiful array of pillows scatter ed over the rooms, the deep-colored rag rugs on the floor, and the old black cat slipping silently up and down the hall make a person just know that she is at home. We are exceedingly fortunate in having three big sisters in our home. Misses Gregg, Kelley, and Allen are very dear and very close to each one of us. Without these sweet and kind friends Treat would not mean what it means to us. Dr. and Mrs. Robert’s room is our own in many ways. The privilege of carrying our problems to Dr. Robert brings a deep joy to our hearts. His loving understanding has endeared him to all of us. Mrs. Robert is never too tired or too busy to make things pleasant for us. She is ever willing to administer to our physical needs. She can almost tell from looking into our eyes when we are hungry for that motherly affection. Always she shares her very best with us. Oh, yes, she corrects us at times, but we ap preciate that too. It is because of her concern over our welfare that she does this. We are thankful for cor rections from her because we know that she loves us, and cares deeply about all that we do. We would not trade Treat for the most palatial dormitory in North Ca rolina—it is our home. The happiness and spirit of co operation enclosed within the walls of all three dormitories will, we trust, radiate into noble and worthy things when each girl has left Mars Hill to take up her walk in life.

Si Si Si Si Si “When did he go?” “About three weeks ago, I think.” “And you know none of the de tails?” “None—not even not a thing.” “Yet it seems to be proving quite popular.” “Very much so.” “I have my doubts. Yet, I guess I’d have a big time since all the gang are there.” “Why, I’d rather go home for the holidays.” “But it is a swell affair from all reports.” “It looks more like contracted ex pansion.” “What is it?” breathlessly asked the third party. “Why! the mumps!” exclaimed two voices in unison. In the olden days it was thought the proper thing for children to have all the contageous diseases going lest they have them later in life when they might prove more serious. But it seems that the mothers of the stu dents thought quite differently. If the ‘^hers could see their sons and a^Qg. .. ’■'ere (heads protruding from under ■ tnt .-wovsr), they 'vo’ald think they were on a special diet to become the heaviest persons in the state! It is true that all persons have one face, but here there are little faces, big faces, one-sided faces, and fat faces. If it isn’t one thing, it is some thing else. Last year there was an epidemic of ‘flu’ before the holidays. This year it is the mumps. We have all heard the story of the miser who left his money at home and carried the door with him. Well, the students are leaving their books at home and carrying their beds with them—to the Infirmary. —F. P. J.
