Pag« Four THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLIKA Nons Celebrate Their I 36th Anniversary I (Continued from page one) strikingly and memorably displayed. The audience was brought into con tact with the righteousness and rule of God. The entire program was in perfect harmony with the general theme of the play. It began with the singing of “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” by the audience, following which Miss Ella J. Peirce offered the invocation. The Nonpareil president, Sarah Fox, related in a words the purpose and ideals of the Society with the significance of the Anmver- sary program. At the close o er brief talk she welcomed the president of the Clio Society, who offered con gratulations and a challange to the Nonpareils that they meet at the commencement inter-society contests in th same spirit that has character ized the relations of these two societies in the past. When the curtain opened for the Nonpareil song it disclosed the letter non formed by the girls dressed m the Nonpareil robes and holding lighted candles. After the song, a piano solo was played by Elizabeth Roberts. “The Dream of Queen Esther was ‘ presented in a strikingly impressive manner. It depicted the home of Mordecai, the Jew, with his adopted daughter Esther and included the selection of Esther as Queen, the difficulties and plots against the Jews, and their first deliverance. The last two acts were in the palace of the King and in the closing scene of the last act a beautiful tableaux of Rosemaids and Jewish children who sang “Holy, Holy, Holy” closed the play. Between the first and second acts Madge Linney sang “Song of India,” composed by Maussorgsky Vassilenko. The anniversary committees were composed of Lillian Crowe, Madge Linney, and Elizabeth Roberts. The programs were in charge of Elizabeth Corpening. The costumes were de signed by Ray Gibbs and Alyce De Coursey while the stage setting was arranged by Geraldine Barrett. The choruses were directed by Beatrice Johnson. The success of the entire program was due in a large measure to these committees together with the cooperation of the entire cast. The Marshalls for the Nonpareil Anniversary were: Chief, Lillian, Crown and Charlie Runyan, Dona Maude Shouse and Luther Matthews; Geraldine Barrett and Marion Jus tice.

Does melancholy ever grip your soul and plunge you into a chaos of deeper thoughts than is your custom? Do you ever pause while careening through this transitory life and won der why we exist? Have you ever sat in solitude and thought of far off friends and distant dreamy places. Has grief ever racked your body in long, dry sobs? Can you remember times when friends seemed untrue and loved ones were doubted? H so, hark back through the corridors of your untouched memories and at tune yourself to such a time; for this column has been caught in the de pression, and great is our grief and lamentation. A Thanksgiving Prayer A 1 But even as we cast about in our grief, one beacon of light gleams fi - fully through the dismal murk. Per haps there is a destiny that is not always cruel.

And where are the charms of yes teryear that enticed reticent Taylor from the stronghold of retirement and made him the dashing gallant of the soup-lines? And so, blinded by our retrospec tive tears, we must of necessity pause as we listen to the music of the spheres and hear the dull rumble of the far off drums of eternity. Life is an exquisite sadness, and we well, we have our lessons to prepare for tomorrow.

The team composed of some thirty odd members meets every Thursday night, immediately following supper, in the gym. Two mats have already been bought and are in use and there is a movement to purchase two more, as two are hardly sufficient for a class of 30. Plans are also on foot to have parallel bars and a horse made. tVith the addition of these the team will have sufficient equipment to permit them to perform a large number of stunts.

The Girls Have Special Gym Class A special class in gymnastics is conducted by Mrs. Roberts each Mon day night in the gym for the girls especially interested in athletics. About fifteen girls have been report ing for the class regularly. Mrs. Roiberts gives sfetting-up exelrcises, wand drills, and coaches basketball with the assistance of Coach Roberts. Coach Roberts has promised the girls a public performance of their feats if a sufficient number of stunts can be prepared. The class is very inter esting and helpful and more girls are urged to take advantage of it. On Tuesday evening, November 17, the Dramatic Club held its regu lar meeting in the college auditorium. The Club was called to order by the president, and several matters of business were given attention. “And the Thunder Crashed,” a one-act play directed by Elizabeth Corpening, and supported by a very able cast, was enjoyed by the mem bers of the club. The play was given in the form of a pantomime. Those taking part in the play were Kath leen Gilliland, the reader; Ruth Cates, the mother; Ruamie Squires, Emaline—the heroine; John Holden, Bartholomew Cantelever, the hero; Broadus Hammond, Count Reginald Mushmug, the villian; Sue Stuart Moore, Little Movement. All acted splendidly their parts, showing the club that under the leadership of their director they had spent much time in the preparation of this pro gram. As was the usual custom, the club voted for the best actor and actress in the play. It was a popular decision for Ruamie Squires and Broadus Hammond, who won the honors for their ability and splendid interpertation of their parts. The honors of the best actor and actress in the first fall play pre sented, “Once in a Life Time,” was given to Charles Alexander and Elizabeth Corpening.
