On Saturday evening, February 14, the Senior Class enjoyed a Valentine party given in the upper rooms of the McConnell Gymnasium. The enitea> tainment was quite in keeping with the occasion and some of the fair sex had quite a collection of hearts before the evening was over. Whether these hearts were true or not is out of the question, but at least they were quite palatable (?). Those present had the rare and phe nomenal privilege of living a week in one night (although some complained about its being the shortest week in their experience.) Beginning with Monday “at home,” the days followed thus: Tuesday, Amos ’n’ Andy (very much there in the persons of Robert Stroupe and Donald Plemmons); Wednesday, Races (quite becoming and up-to-date fashions were revealed in the news sheets as arranged by Jer ry Angeline and Paul Reece); Thurs day, Show; Friday, Sweethearts on Parade (circus or otherwise, truly, stunts were performed); Saturday, Ye Heart Shoppe (where purchases were made C. O. D.); and Sunday, Soap line (no comment needed.) The entire program was well plan ned and evidently very pleasing to all concerned. Perhaps Cupid’s darts (and some bows, too) were too prev alent, but no broken hearts have been reported yet. The committee chair men are to be commended and the ap preciation of the class is expressed to them (not only for the “no accident” report, but for the entire evening's entertainment.) \ ^'I ■' - ANNIE M.

L. Chesson Is Made President at Last Meeting. The Science Club met for a short business meeting Tuesday evening, February 24. Eleven new members were voted into the club: Martha Wa ger, Harriet Hall, Margaret Hamrick, Ruth Robertson, Eula Mae Hester, Beatrice Johnson, Kathleen, Smoak, Paul Buck, Ernest Moore, Conway Sams, and A. L. Chesson. The following officers were then elected for the spring semester: pres ident, A. L. Chesson; vice-president, Eula Mae Hester; secretary, Ruth Robertson: treasurer, Conway Sams; and reporter, Hoyle Lee. The Science Club expects to make ^this one of their most profitable jsemesters in the studies of science, j Each member has shown great inter est in the work of the club. On February 17 Mars Hill College celebrated for the second time Char ter Day, commemorating the day the college assumed its present charter, February 15, 1859. The services which were held in the auditorium at 11:00 o’clock were di rected by W. H. Hipps, attorney, of Asheville, and president of the Bun combe County Alumni Association. The speakers of the day were W. H. Hipps and Zeb F. Curtis, a leading lawyer of Asheville and the teacher of that great Sunday-school class of the Central Methodist church. Mr. Moore introduced the speaker, W. H. Hipps. Mr. Hipps praised Mars Hill as a college of distinctive char acter and ideals, and paid high tri bute to President Moore, who has served the college for over thirty-two years, as one of the outstanding edu cators of the day, whose lofty stand ards cannot be shaken. Mr. Hipps then introduced the prin cipal speaker, Zeb F. Curtis. Mr. Cur tis stressed the value of the students taking advantage of the opportunity of . attending Mars Hill College. He said that it was a wonderful asset to the town and neighboring communi ties. He brought to the minds of the audience the records made by stu dents gone out from her protecting folds. ment, adjustment, and contact,” he said. By illu.stration is was shown viv idly that the transition period of life is met, faced, and worked out while one is in college. He challenged the ment of both home and community. By referring to that great character, St. Paul, he told in a few words that the depression of the day would not last forever if the youth would think of good, pure, noble, and upright things. His closing words were that opportunities av/ait the student who will do his bit, stick by the job, and ever push forward. WRITERS GUILD HOLDS MEETING February 17, at 7:00 o’clock, the first regular meeting of the 'Writer’s Guild was held in the Students’ Publi cation office. There was only a small group present, but each manifested a peculiar interest in the purpose of the meeting. Mamie Kelley was the pre siding officer of tbe evening. In an informal manner the Guild was called bo order, and the program was pre sented. After each part of the pro gram was given, a criticism was offer ed by those present. The criticism was both of constructive and destructive types, but was essentially helpful to the amateur writers. No one part of the program resembled another part, as each member participating had written what he wished. The first number, “Not a Swan Song,” was given by Elizabeth Wilburn, in which she discussed the seeming futility of lectures and A flashy little team from Edney- ville, running as the dark horse of the tournament, set back the powerful Glenwood team in the final game of the sixth Mars Hill marathon, to emerge as champions of this event. Little was known about either Glenwood or Edneyville as to strength when they entered the first stages of the tourney; they both went to the semi-finals in grand style, which was least expected. Edneyville met the great Bakersville outfit in the semi-finals; they were slated to lose this game by 15 points, but completely upset all dope to win in handy fashion. Glenwood met and defeated the fast quintet from .Spruce Pine to the tune of 18 to 15 in the semi-finals. The finals were played before a comparatively small crowd, last Sat urday night. Edneyville, led by the phenomenal “Bill” Wilson, took an early lead and completely played the Glenwooders off their feet the entire first half. Haney and Westmoreland, the aces from Glenwood, could not find the basket, and the entire team missed many shots during this half. Wilson, who undoubtedly was the best player of the entire tournament, led his mates in great style during the first youth of the college for the better- (Continued on Page 3) PRES.

Then Nelson Jarrett presented “The Men Whom I Idealize,” and taking a char acteristic trait from each man formed the one ideal man. The last number was a short story, “Fate and Life,” by Gharlotte Hooper. The members of the Guild have high hopes of doing some real work, and the motto adopted by them was “Never a day without a line.” By Way of A pology Those responsible for this edition of The Hilltop are: Editor-in-chief, Cooper Gretter; associate editors, Hoyle Lee, Charlotte Hooper, and B. G. Leonard. The staff also appreci ates the work of Mamie Kelley. We wish to acknowledge our great indebtedness to Mr. Mc Leod for his assistance and su pervision in this publication. The staff realizes that it is a very difficult task to endeavor to publish this edition, following the C-1 edition. We must admit that, without this model to di rect us, we would have been at a total loss. We thank the C-l’s for their guidance, and we have taken every advantage of their higher intelligence. McLester and Grainger .Head The Laurel Staff On February 18 the C-1 class elect ed William F. McLester and Bruce Grainger .to head the 1931-’32 Laurel staff, as editor and business manager, respectively. With th co-operation of not only the Senior class but also the entire student ' j-ly, they should be able to turn out one oif the best books Mars Hill has ever had. For the past several years it has been th astom to elect the editor and bu3i..'';ss manager in the spring Th" other rvembers of the staff will be elected next fall. President R. L. Moore was the first student ever to register for a Sunday School Normal Course, according to an editorial in The Teacher for March. It is quite a distinction to Dr. Moore and to Mars Hill College, his being the first in studying this phase of Sunday-school work. The writer might have added that he has continued an ardent advocate of teacher-training. According to this month’s Teacher, the original Convention Normal Man ual was published in two small vol umes: one entitled, “The Sunday School,” dealing with history and methods, oi-ganizations and manage ment, teacher and teaching, 92 pages, by Dr. W. B. Spilman; the other en titled, “Books of the Bible,” a year’s course of weekly lessons on the study of the Bible by books, 134 pages, by Hight C. Moore. They were published in 1902. Dr. Spilman reported that Dr. Moore, the first student, register ed in October, 1902. Since then the number of ^students has grown ^very rapidly. The total teacher-training awards last year were 945,669. The Sunday School Board expects a mil lion to be awarded in 1931. SENIOR CLASS SUPERLATIVES Val Edwards and Frances Barnes Take More Votes. At the last meeting of the Senior Class the superlatives were nom inated. Strange indeed were the re sults, and startled were many when they found their names among those chosen. Mr. Val Edwards and Miss Frances Bames with their dominating personalities seemed to have walked away with the honors. These two showed .their popularity by securing four first places on the honored list, Mr. Edwards scouring the majority of the votes as best all-around, friend liest, happiest, and most accommodat ing, while Miss Bames won the honor as best all-around, most accommodat- (Continued on page 3)
