THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA
G
RADUATE
OSSIP
Mr. Curtiss W. Reeco, who is con
nected with a Unitarian mission in
Chicago, was with us last week. He
spoke in chapel and also gave us his
round-the-world lecture. He was
very interesting and was highly ap
preciated by the student body. Mr.
Reece has written several books
which have met with wide acclaim.
We regret to notice that the Hon
orable John Q. Tilson, Representa
tive from Connecticut, has been de
moted in Congress. His office was
formerly that of majority leader, a
place which he held for a number of
years. Now, however, since his party
is in the minority, he has lost out,
being replaced as party leader. Mr.
Tilson has done a great deal of good
while in Congress and it is hoped
that he will continue in office for a
number of years yet.
It is very interesting to note that
nearly all the Superintendents of
county schools in the Western part
of the state are Mars Hill men. This
is quite an honor to the old school.
It is through such men as these that
the Mars Hill Spirit is kept high and
strong.
The editor of the Laurel has re
ceived splendid cooperation from the
Alumni in the work he is trying to
do. This is greatly appreciated both
by him and those other members who
are working on the staff to complete
the book.
Every one will remember that a
team representing the alumni defeat
ed the current college football team
in a game last fall. We would like
to suggest a similar game at basket
ball and perhaps one at baseball, the
tilts becoming annual affairs. This
would increase the interest of the
alumni in college athletics.
We wish to apologize for the lack
of news in this column, but it is one
of our New Year’s resolutions to in
crease that line.

Every Union A-1
At the beginning of the year ev
ery union in the department reached
the standard; and now at the end
of the first quarter, every union has
again reached the standard. This is
a record that Mars Hill should be
proud of. It is not easy to reach
the standard. To reach it takes work.
The director, David T. Mashburn, ap
preciates the splendid cooperation
that has been given him and his co
workers by students and faculty. The

A study of the life and works of
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, emi
nent American poet, was made at
the January 14 meeting of the Non-
pariel Literary Society, and a num
ber of his poems were read.
Pearl Ownby gave “The Skeleton
Armor,” “The Wreck of the
m
Hesperies” was effectively read by
June Ramsey, and Lily Bennett read
“My Last Youth.”
Ruth Moore presented an interest
ing sketch of Longfellow’s life,
speaking at length on his poetical
career, which began while he was a
student at Bowdoin College, from
which he graduated at the age of
eighteen. “At nineteen,” Miss
Moore continued, he was made pro
fessor of modern languages and lit
erature at Bowdoin college, and lat

resigned in 1837.
