LOOKING IN ON
GIRL SPORTS
The swimming pool is once more
open for those who wish to splash.
If possible, it is intended to have the
period from four until five every day
for the girls and by the end of school
there .should be much improvement
in stroke and diving. However this
sport is to be an extra-curriculum
activity and will not take the place of
regular gym work.
In our classes, baseball will be
the main feature. We feel that
with spring in the air, we should
certainly join in the movement
of combatting flies and consider
this a splendid way to start. And
any one who has malice in her
heart is especially urged to take
a swing at the ball instead of the
object of the dark looks. The
same method of teaming will be
used that divided the groups for
soccer. Three strikes! Come out
for the old ball team.

The Hiking Club is really doing
things. Several new members have
been admitted and the program
which was posted on the bulletin
board in Spilman looked very inter
esting. If you have neglected joining,
it is still not too late. Why not walk
off spring fever? Maybe you would
walk a mile for a Camel but you will
get a rosy complexion and also be
come a participant in the great fun
of this organization, if you meet the
requirements.

To Be Continued)
At The Theater
With The Spectator
Responding to the insistent urging
of my good friend, S. J. Justice, man
aging editor of The Hilltop, I con
sented to sit through the three-act
mythological comedy, “Pygmalion and
Galatea,” which was presented in the
college auditorium Saturday evening,
March 18, by the Mars Hill Dramatic
Club, in order that I might cast a few
reflections concerning that produc
tion.
Although I will not presume to pre
dict a successful stage career for Miss
Sue Stuart Moore until I see more of
her work, I do feel inclined to say
that her enactment of the role of
Galatea was the outstanding per
formance of the evening. She inter
preted the part superbly, remaining
in character throughout the length oi
the play in a highly professional man
ner.
Emmett Francis, who played the
part of Pygmalion, interpreted his
role satisfactorily, but his voice,
which is most expressive and well cul
tivated, did not carry to the audience
as was desired. We commend Mr.
Francis for his work, although we
have been told that he not long since
did much better when he played the
part of a Chinaman.
To Miss Hazel Herndon, as Daphne,
the art patron’s wife, I extend hearty
congratulations. Despite the fact that
hers was a minor role she played the
part gracefully and had her lines been
longer might have stolen the show.
Gholston Myrick, as Chrysos, the
art patron, and Azaleen Kickliter, as
Myrine, Pygmalion’s sister, furnished
the necessary bit of ridiculous com
edy. Miss Kickliter was good, but
Myrick was not in character at all
and acted stiffly, self-consciously, as
though he were a small boy taken
poutingly from his toys to be dressed
for Sunday school.
Leucippe, a soldier, acted by Reed
(Legs) Wood, was not sure of him
self, giving his eyes too much to the
floor. He succeeded in making several
apparently serious scenes ludricous
and laughable.
A gooff word must be said, for Miss
Doris Gibbs, as Pygmalion’s wife,
whose pleasing voice and easy stage
manners demand commendation any
where.
As for the two slaves, enacted by
Paul Berry and John Reece, I do not
have much to say. Perhaps it was due
to their short roles that they pictured
such a total lack of interest. Neither
threw himself into his part with any
degree of enthusiasm and I am told
that both have been seen to do much
better work here.
A sprinting Asheville School team
nosed out Mars Hill’s Lion cindermen
with a 30-28 count to capture the
honors in the annual track and field
meet held in the Asheville “Y,” March
17.
Blues Win In Final
The Whelps led in the indoor
events until the final contest, the
relay race, but when it was decided
that the victor in the event should
capture all the points the Asheville
Blues came through in a record-
breaking time to claim the title.
Bailey and Lawrence Lead
Of the six records that fell during
the meet Bailey and E. Lawrence
were responsible for two. Bailey
cracked the mark he set last year in
the standing broad jump with a 9-foot
9-inch hop. E. Lawrence, newcomer
to the Lion roster and flashy high-
jumper, bettered the old record of 5
feet 3 inches by a good 3 inches. The
other first places taken by Mars Hill
were the potato race which was cap
tured by Ferguson in 35.8 seconds,
and the 880 run which was taken by

I The Spilman Ghost
by EVELYN MORGAN
Sue awoke with a start. Her throat
was parched and dry. She wished
heartily that she had not eaten the
last fifty salted peanuts that she had
devoured so eagerly earlier in the
night.
As Sue rolled out of bed she wrap
ped her woolen robe about her for
protection against the blasts of keen, ^
cold wind that howled in at the open
window. In her hand she clutched
her glass. With a swift move she
softly opened the door and walked
quickly down the hall. Mid-way she
stopped. The windows were rattl’ng.
Moaning and shrieking the wind out
side was blowing. Somewhere in the
dormitory a door slammed, echoing
down the .vast, deserted corridors.
Sue shuddered and thought of her
room-mate sleeping peacefully in her
warm bed. Suddenly the lights went
out. Undaunted, Sue strode on,
pricked onward by the tantalizing
thirst. She tried to convince herself
that the ice on wires had caused the
lights to go out. Groping her way
along the walls, at last she came in
contact with the spigot. With a sigh
of relief she quenched her thirst with
cold, refreshing water.
Sue then started her way back the
long, long hall as swiftly as her feet
would carry her. As she passed by
the open door of room 213 she saw
two gleaming green eyes peering out
at her. Her hair rose on her head.
Her blood chilled. Then, as she hesi
tated, a great black cat paced slowly
and serenely across her path. A sigh
of relief escaped her lips. She
glanced over her shoulder down the
hall and smiled at her fear; but that
smile froze on her face, for gliding
up the corridor was a white figure
barely visible in the shimmering
moonlight. Sue tried to turn and run,
but her feet might as well have been
nailed to the floor for move she
could not. Onward came the spectre.
Motionless stood the horrified girl.
Closer and closer came the phantom.
All at once, when it was so near to
Sue that she could almost feel its
clamminess, it began to wave its arms
wildly. Then, giving vent to a blood
curdling shriek it threw off the cloth
that was draped about it and stretch
ed forth the head of a very frightened
student, who was notorious for sleep
walking.
“Oh Sue! I was terrified. I dreamed
I was being buried alive and was
shrieking to tell those who were bury
ing me. Then when I woke myself
and found this old sheet wound all
around me I really thought I was
robed for a burial. Oh! What a
nightmare! I must have given you an
awful scare!”
Ten minutes later, after the stu
dents who had been awakened by the
commotion in the hall had retired.
Sue crawled into bed with her room
mate.
“Room-mate,” she whispered, “my
latest resolution is to excommunicate
salted peanuts from my nightly bill
of fare.”

program in the near future. Winners
in the Western Music Contest were
in Salisbury on March 25 to compete
with the winners from the east.
On March 11, both student and
faculty members of the music depart
ment as well as other music lovers
were deilighted by Mrs. Robert S. Car-
ro-ll’s gracious consent to play the
piano. Mrs. Carroll, who was prior
to her marriage to Dr. Carroll, Grace
Potter, well known in concert circles,
played four Chopin Etudes, including
the “Revolutionary Etude,” the
“Flute Etude,” and the “Harp
Etude.” Mrs. Carroll was in Mars Hill
as a judge in the contest which met
here that morning.
The Hilltop staff wishes to express
the student body’s thanks to Misses
Diggers and Coon for the active in
terest they take in the musical wel
fare of the campus, and also Mrs.
Robinson for her kindness in direct
ing the orchestra.
