One hand rested on a brick pillar sup- portU ae arch, in the ironwork of which were formed the words, “Mars Hill College. 1857.“ He faced east.

In the morning the mountain mist had shrouded the scene hut now the sun, descending, looked back and illumined its Birth place, where the autumn foliage of the mountain top blended with the blue sky-line. In closer perspective rose a hill against this background, and on the hillside were the white monuments of a small cemetery. , . .p The student gazed across the valley at these markings o end of life. In his mind was pictured a metaphor Was the valley before him life, through which he must plod as in a “Slough of Despond,” onward and upward to meet the e . The end’ Still beyond rose greater, more eminent heights, ihe words of a white-haired old man, who saw with an inner vision. reverberated in his mind: “Life is eternal; life is eternal. For a moment the face of the student was clouded with the struggle of the inexperienced for understanding A littl^e form less prayer within him sought the courage and stamina he need ed He turned back toward the College grounds, with the re solve to seek there to the fullest, in his remaining student days the knowledge and faith with which to fortify himseiyo^hat Have you ever been to Durham? No? Yes? Well, if you didn’t go this time we’ve got something over on you. Nothing is more conducive to a pleas ant journey than a cosmopolitan crowd, a comfortable bus, and an agreeable chaperone. Anticipation filled the air. Here was a whisper, “Jack’s going to be there.” And from the back came, “Maybe we’ll get to see the game at Duke to morrow afternoon.” Imagine that on a bus carrying students to a B. S. U. conference. In spite of frequent stops for lem ons, a hospital was not needed upon the arrival at Durham. There were some who were going home. Would they never get there? It seemed that all along the way someone had to call her sister, or someone else had a friend or parent he wanted to see. And always—eat! Feature Mars Hill students being hungry! Every one thought he had the best hostess at the convention, but each man to his own opinion. Say, have you ever seen any green lemonade? Ask Willie and Ollin if they had, previous to the reception Friday night. And we’ve had lessons on etiquette this year. The times that made us happiest were those when we met old friends we had known last year. They say old pals are the best pals after all. It seems that way sometimes, doesn’t it? It did to us. The union of old friends has a sweetness about it that is indefinable. And each of those old students from Mars Hill sent his love to you. They love you most of all because you’ve chosen the grandest school in the world! A special treat was given each Mars Hill representative in a trip to Duke University. We certainly portrayed we were from the country when we hit that campus! The Duke students must have been thoroughly amused at the gaping mouths and awed counten ances of our group. But we couldn’t help it. We’d never seen “sech.” It was really marvelous, and we are grateful for the privilege of having seen such magnificence. But in the mind of each of us a question arose. We wondered if they could possibly feel the loyal devotion to that enorm ous institution that we feel to our Alma Mater. We doubted that they POETRY * * did. Could that bond of Christian relationship which is so dear to us be made magnetic over so vast a section of buildings. We were even more thanlcful, now, for that privilege we had been given, because a keener sense of appreciation for Mars Hill had been instilled in our hearts by this trip. A much quieter crowd prepared themselves for the trip hack to Mars Hill. There were several reasons for this. A great deal of spiritual in spiration had been received, new thoughts had been given, and old friendships renewed. Everyone was quiet until we reached Greensboro. Of course, before returning to the “Hill” we had to have one last “feed.” So we stormed a corner drug store and proceeded to make ourselves very much at home. It is truly a wonder ful trait to he able to make one’s self at home any where, and it seemed to be a particular trait of ours. When we returned to the bus, there was some difficulty in being seated as everyone clamored to be the first to sit by the chaperone. But since all could not have that privilege, they finally submitted to take their places elsewhere in the bus.

But quiet did not ensue long. The sun had gone down and the moon had not come up; and we, the loyal up holders of Mars Hill standards, found ourselves in a most precarious situation. We demanded lights but were bluntly refused them by the bus driver. It realy is hard to drive a car after night with the lights burning. Now, isn’t it? But we were uneasy— “lest we forget.” Eventually optim ism reigned and we forgot the lights upon the appearance of a poor, dis tracted kitten. For awhile we feared a veritable war, hut after much de liberation peace was regained. And how soothing that peace! By the way, you didn’t happen to know that Ben Kirby liked candy as well as he likes cats, did you? Neith er did we, but after he had consumed several pounds we decided in the af firmative. Of course trips like that are tiring, even for the B. S. U. president. So we weren’t at all surprised when we heard—“Get out of the way, I want to stretch my neck.” —One of Them. Philomathians Have Series of Programs On the Other Campus to come. -0- Armistice Day November 11th passed quietly on our campus as the closing day of the meeting absorbed the attention of faculty and ftudents aliL Only the flag raised tardily on the flagpole reminded us that this was Armistice Day. Where were the parades and clamor Ih^ronce celebrated this day; has time e-sed the memory^ that glorious event in 1918, when the world laid down it arms and peace was declared? It cannot be. It must be that Armistice has become an ac- cepted part of a citizen’s life. To the students it must ^ a lasting thing, as enduring as time. The thought of those other students who left their books behind and went away to war has intensified their aversion. The words of Winifred M. Letts m her poem “The Spires of Oxford,” are full of pathos. “God rest you, bappy gentlemen, Wbo laid your good lives down, Wbo took tbe kbaki and tbe gun Instead of cap and gown God bring you to a fairer place Than ever Oxford town.” Because of a conflict with the ser vices conducted by Dr. Haymore Fri- -day evening, November 6, the Phil- omathian Literary Society held a brief meeting on Friday afternoon. After the usual preliminaries the fol lowing brief program was given: ora tion, James Miller; humor, Earl Brown and Hal Byrd; impromptu speeches, Thomas Speed and Marvin Smith. The meeting of the preceding week included a declamation by Edwin Powell, reading by Everett Abee, and a debate, “Resolved, That the Sev eral States Should Enact Legislation Providing for Compulsory Unemploy ment Insurance.” The affirmative was upheld by Paul Buck and Jack Dale; the negative, by Avery Hunter and Herbert Johnson, the decision be ing won by the negative. The pro gram for October 23 was as follows: declamation, Johnny Champion; read ing, Bill Atkins; debate, “Resolved, That the Five Day Week Should Be Adopted in All American Industries,” with Thomas Speed and Faison Butler on the affirmative and W. B. DeBrulle and Webster Ellenwood on the nega tive; humor, C. A. Fletcher; im promptu quartett, composed of C. Jones, A. Hunter, T. Burton, and F. Wright; music. Emmet Francis. The decision for the debate was rendered in favor of the affirmative. Dr. Sledd, head of the English de partment of Wake Forest, deplored the lack of leadership among the pres ent-day youth in a recent address. He said that he had never seen such a dearth of leaders as there now is and attributed it to the hurry in which present-day students live. At Salem College they are running a column in their paper, “The Salem ite,” headed “What every girl should know.” It carries very valuable in formation to the fairer sex each edi tion. I should advise that the fairer contingency of our college profit by these suggestions. “Go East, go East to the ria Where the skies are blue And the temples are done .

RO PJ (YO An; Miss Cox Is Hostess To Dramatic Club Miss Julia Cox was hostess to the Dramatic Club at a reception given in her home on Hallowe’en. The home was attractive through out with the color scheme of Hallo we’en festivity. An impromptu program was en- joyably rendered, consisting of a hu morous reading by Miss Wengert, the sponsor. Following this a short se lection was given by each member of the club. From the “Orange and Blue” of Carson-Newman College we find these “notes from a Campusology Book.” Here are a few: “Nature endowed -women with grace, beauty, intention and tender- ne.ss—and then the devil had to spoil everything by giving her a tongue.” “You can believe all that an hon est man says—except, when he is talking business, running for office, or making love.” “When a woman is cool, abstracted, and silent a man always feels guilty; his only doubt is to what particular thing she has found out.
