Freshman Edition
Next
The management of the Hilltop
takes great pleasure in announcing
that the C-I class will take over
the Hilltop next issue for better
or worse to put out the annual
Freshman edition. Those responsi
ble for this issue have stated that
it will deviate from the tradition
al custom of the first year edition
by coming out in black ink instead
of green. They have also thrown
out the statement that the C-I
issue is going to be the literarinest
paper ever to go out under the
name of the Hilltop. They’ll have
to step some to out do that liter
ary masterpiece that represented
the C-I talent last year. However,
C-I’s, here’s wishing you success
from the Hilltop staff.

Follows Doris Gibbs
Miss Bennett, the new president,

led the society through a most suc
cessful term. Miss Gibbs welcomed
Miss Bennett to the chair and retired
with an expression of appreciation
for the support of the society mem-^
bers. Miss Bennett accepted the

sibilities with quiet dignity.

ligious work on the campus and is

Pearl Ownby Mistress of Ceremonies
Preceding the election of officers,
a very entertaining progi-am was pre
sented, consisting of an imaginary
broadcast. Miss Pearl Ownby was
master of ceremonies and called upon
various membei’s of the society for
impromptu speeches.
Several small girls and boys were
visitors in the hall and each expressed
his desire to some dqy become a Non
pareil or Euthalian.- Master Howard
Olive accompanied the society on the
violin as the Non-Eu song was sung.
501 STUDENTS REGISTER
AS ENROLLMENT RECORD
FOR COLLEGE IS BROKEN
Only Number To Exceed This
TFas When School Maintained
Four Years Of High
School
18 STATES REPRESENTED
That 501 students have registered
in Mars Hill College for the 1932-33
term was made public by J. W. Huff,
registrar, a few days ago.
Mr. Huff said that to date 501 stu
dents have registered for tKe 1932-33
term. This is the largest number to
register in the history of the college.
A few years ago, when the institu
tion maintained four years of high
school work in addition to the two
years of college, an enrollment of
something like 510 was reached.
Much of this, however, was in the high
school department.
18 States, 3 Foreign Countries
The college students represent a
wide territory, there being students
here from 18 different states, Man
churia, Cuba and Brazil. North Car
olina has the largest representation
with South Carolina, Tennessee, and
Virginia following respectively. The
counties having large representations
include: Buncombe, Cleveland, Ruth
erford and Madison.
Teaching Profession Leads
The students studying at Mars Hill
college represent a large number of
future occupations and professions.
Those preparing to teach are the
largest in number while those pre
paring for work in medicine, engi
neering, ministry, law and journalism
follow respectively.

Plans To Have Each Spilmanite
As Guest
Ten B. Y. P. U.’s Select
Heads For New Term
The ten B. Y. P. U.’s have started
into a promising term of work. Those

vin Harris, Charles Roper, Clarence
Shore; Elliot, Fred Parker; Hill
Climbers, Minnie Brooks; Hustlers,
Mary Greene; Judson, L. C. Chiles;

For the last few weeks, Mrs. Bur
nett has been charming hostess at a
series of teas given in her room to
small groups of girls. The room is
attractively arranged, and artistically
decorated with paintings, ferns, and
the only light used is candlelight. One
really feels as if she were home, us
ing the dainty china and silverware.
These individual teas last about one
hour, and delicious refreshments are
served. Mrs. Burnett plans to con
tinue these teas until she has had
I
each girl as her guest.
