NO. 11 Student Alumni Association The Alumni Association of Mars Hill College which was toundecl last year shows an excellent beginning. The book in which the names of the students are listed records one hundred and ninety names. No student from this number has pledged below $5^0 per year, and several have pledged above this pledges, for the most part, do not fall due until thirty-five dollars was due for the year 1930, forty-one dollars plus the thirty-five dollars from 1930 are due in the year 1931. The students have not all enrolled their names upon this book, but names are being added gradual ly. There seems to be every indication of making the Alumni Association a success and a thing that will be of lasting value to Mars Hill‘College. C H Mars Hill College -was indeed fortunate this year in -the acquisi tion of Professor Joseph Bascom Huff as head of the English de partment Mr. Huff is an alumnus of the academy of Mars HOI College, be ing a student here in the first year of Dr. Moore’s regime as presi dent. As a ■ student his record stands blemishless, and while here he took a very active part in the debates staged. Mr. Huff received his A. B. de gree from Wake Forest in 1903, and was awarded the M. A. degree' from the University of North Car olina a single year later. Since that time he has been principal of Doithan High School, Dothan, Ala bama; principal of the Wilming- ton High School of this state; teacher at Mars Hill College; a member of the faculty at Carson Newman College, and president of Wingate Junior College.

Juniors and Seniors The last two issues of The Hilltop were published by repre sentatives of the Junior and Senior classes. Those two classes, through their elected staffs, issued two papers that were worthy of the commendation of practically all who read them. The features were timely; the news stories were representative; the editorials were well written; and the general make-up of the papers was well balanced. The first edition had a bit too much of superfluous material within its pages, and not enough space was given to more important news; but the paper as a whole was entirely readable, and was worthily represent ative of the work of the Junior class. The Senior Edition car ried a more complete list of news-stories, but the features were not as readable as those appearing in the Junior Edition of the paper.- The staff congratulates these two classes upon their work on ^ the paper, and thanks both classes for the splendid spirit of co-operation that was manifest. ipjjg Staff Mr. J.

Stewart May Queen ■ ‘^ome for choosing the one who will ixngn at the celebration of the time-honored festivities of May ay. Though this year everyone seems happy over the outcome of elections, during the past years some, for personal or imper sonal reasons, have taken exception to the procedure by which this queen of ephemeral reign is elected on our campus. Some xplanation for our lack of conformity to the custom of certain other colleges is perhaps necessary. We should justify our ways. Queen, and the attendants also, at Mars Hill IS not subject entirely to the capricious methods of the pop ular vote and is elevated above the junto practices suffered on many campuses. Certain rigid qualifications are therefore re quired of the ones who receive this honor on the Mars Hill cam pus. The qualifications include the intellectual, the physical the social, as well as that of popularity. Accordingly, those not attaining a fair standard of scholarship are not eligible; those physical requirements of the department of p ysical education are likewise ineligible: also those wh-ose so- cial conduct and attitudes are not in accord with the spirit and standards orMars Hill cannot become candidates. Those who pass upon these qualifications are the lady members of the faculty, who have the necessary information at hand. restrictions may result in disappointments to many, eminently qualify in almost every partiL ular. On the other hand, the honor thus confined and guarded carries with it a glory otherwise unattainable. The Love That Follows Me {Dedicated to and^itten at the request of, Mother B. F. Stapleton formerly Housemother of Boys' Dormitories.) ^ When first my eyes beheld the lift of day, A tender babe to loving hearts was pressed And craning medleys soothed my cries away A helpless infant on my mother’s breast,— O then a sweeter and diviner flame Than mother-love from watchful Heaven came ao follow me.

We should be able to see God in His wonderful works of Nature It as been said that every flower has a mes^ge from God. As for me the lovely jasmine has the greatest mes sage of all. Its fragrance and pure whiteness speak to me of the sacred mysteries of the soul. May we be re ceptive to the instructions of these si lent messengers of God. Here are some lines that I love and I wish to share them with you: ’ all Nature proclaims the resurrection o Christ, the one whose life is an example for us all. dirty digs Some Thoughts on the Dawn of Spring Laura Billings “The world throws off her weeds of wo« And decks herself in flowers; , The fields and forests gaily bloom. Birds sing in leafy bowers. Rejoice on earth, for death is slain. The Lord of life is risen again.” Today, as I look toward old Bailey, and other mountain peaks around Mars Hill, I am made to realize that the mighty power of God is moving over them. I see around me the buds swelling in the warm sunshine and bursting into blossoms. Bright green grass and modest violets make the earth fresh and beautiful. Do we not see in this a symbol of the resur rection of the Lord of life? Do our thoughts not turn to Him who burst the bands of death and came forth in triumph over death and the grave? Dear friends and classmates, school will soon close, and we will go away, many of us never to return. May we carry with us the strength of the hills and the influence of our noble teachers whose prayers -will follow us. There are two great teachers that God has given to be present with us wherever we may be —Nature and the Bible. We should cultivate a love for God’s Word and shape our lives by Its teachings, if we wish to have a ‘It is said somewhere at t-wilight A great hell softly swings; And man may listen and hearken To the wondrous music that rings he thrusts from his heart all ha tred.
