Page Four THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA B. Y. P. U. STUDY COURSES Have Creditable Regular At tendance The eight B. Y. P.

Mr. Mashburn taught “Senior Administration” to forty-seven students. The Associate B. Y. P. U. Director, Miss Poles, stat ed that the work had been a great success, and that the teachers should be commended for the interesting way the courses were presented. coming from the gymnasium with their hair slicked back, or not combed at all, and with a sparkling, new look, as if they had just arisen. These lads are the fall heroes of the campus, so dead tired they can hardly walk; for they are bruised, skinned, charley- horsed, and very hungry; in fact, the pangs of hunger are almost unbear able. They may talk for a moment to someone, but the eyes are turned to ward the entrance of the dining hall. Finally the bell lets out a toll and the rush is on. Presently everyone gets in and silently stands beside a chair waiting for the blessing to be given. Then a loud, scraping noise is made by the chairs being pulled from the table, and by the jingling and clanging of plates and silverware. The huge bowls are passed, first to the girls (and some of them are heavy eaters, too), and then to the boys, the last one of which gets barely enough. After each person has filled his plate to his own satisfaction a conversation will begin between a couple, while some diners calmly transport food to the mouth with both hands, in order to supply that eager demand and never speak or make a move except with an over loaded fork or spoon to the mouth. A loud clang is heard and silence once more prevails as the head-waiter G-1 DREAMS GOME TRUE AN EVENING MEAL makes an announcement which does AT SPILMAN By Jack Hodges The five o’clock bell has finished its last, long resounding rap and the chimes die away very slowly. Already the boys are beginning those last, few minute “bull-sessions” in small groups around and in front of Spilman. They each want a synopsis on everything in general which they might have missed during the day. The gossip about certain girls is eagerly heard, as well as the complimentary facts, to be weighed on the scale of criti cism, placing each in a certain part of the mind to be recalled at some other time. It isn’t long until you see boys not concern you or anyone you know. Then a very small bell is heard and everyone jumps to his feet and dives for the door to get out and stand in front of Spilman to see, and to be seen, by the girls as they come rush ing out, where they just walk up and down the street and sneak glances at certain boys. This feeling of egoism is finally satisfied as the bell rings for study hour and each person retires to his room for a “bull-session,” study, or for sleep. These two hours—the late after noon and early evening—are repeat ed for nine months and never seem to grow old. Patronize the Hilltop Advertisers. Read all the advertisements. Wkl fra Alas! The dream of the freshman has come true. On Saturday, Septem ber 30, the hope of the freshman be came a reality. At 2 :00, the C-1 Class assembled in front of Spilman pre pared for the hike to Bailey. At last, we were to experience our first , trip to Bailey. To everyone, it was an oc casion looked forward to with much expectation. After answering the roll call and listening to a few last-minute instruc tions from our chaperones. Miss Bos well and Mr. McLeod, we started on our much anticipated but much dreaded journey. We knew what a task it would be, but we v/ere deter mined to enjoy it to the fullest ex tent. Since only a few of the boys knew the route we were to take. Bill Leister was chosen to lead us. We started from the gymnasium and took the road out by Mr. J. B. Huff’s. We continued on this road and after crossing a stream or two and stump ing a few toes, we reached the point where we were to change routes for the second time. This change was the beginning of the extreme mountain climb which was to continue until we reached our destination. Preparing for this, we equipped ourselves with sticks, found by the wayside, to make it a bit easier to climb. Later, we were happy at the thought of having these, for they proved to be a great help in ascending the mountain. After about fifteen minutes of walking, we were at the foot of Bai ley, looking up with delight and fear. But we did not mind, because we were consoled with the thought that before many hours we could look back and admire Nature in all her beauty and glory. With this thought in mind, we started toward our goal. Through fields, brush, and forests; over fences and logs, we traveled at the quickest possible pace—and be fore we realized it, we were standing on top of Bailey, admiring the beau tiful scenery for miles about us. Quite naturally, the first thing we did was find a place where we could sit and rest our weary bodies. At last, we were there, but how we G-II P I G N I G WAS WELL ATTENDED Hikers Go To Swinging Bridge; Supper Served On Ground The C-2 Class hiked to Swinging Bridge Saturday, September 31, for its first picnic of the year. Swinging Bridge is about four miles from Spilman porch usually, but according to unrevealed persons the mileage must be something around fourteen. A picnic supper was served to the travelers. It consisted of the usual picnic indelicacies. Before the sup per, some waders, led by Miss Sara Young and Mr. Bill Martin, enjoyed a foot-splashing in the stream which babbles below the bridge. Chaperones for the picnic were Mrs. Burnett and Mr. King. lower cases TOL. Be Songbirds Prepare To Spread Wings This year the chorus is planning to use its legs as well as its voice. Plans are being formulated for several trips this season. These trips are taken, not only for the training of the students, but also for the publicity of the school. It is reported that the chorus is the best in the history of the school. A decided interest is being shown by the members. Those who sing satis factorily will be given a monogram. Miss Coon, the director, seems highly elated at the prospects. Mr. King, popular new facultyite, has been elected business manager of the organization. The first public appearance of the chorus in the current season will be on the Founder’s Day program. ‘Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness’ Why pay to have work done elsewhere when as your official launderers, we can give you service and satisfaction at lowest prices.?

While the girls were resting, the boys gathered wood and built a fire. This was the beginning of the most important part of the hike—the eat ing. By the time the fire was roaring, everyone had reached the top and Miss Boswell had begun preparing the food. Before very long, everyone was satisfying his hunger with the delicious roasted weii.ers, boiled eggs, and marshmallows. After the food had been devoured, and the fire had been quenched, we started on our way down the other side of the mountain. This was the route we were to follow returning home. When going down the steepest part of the decline, the trees were a great help in saving us from tumbling head first down the mountain. This we realized before going very far. But before long, we were through slipring and sliding and were ready to walk for several miles. About 7:15, we reached the dear old Mars Hill campus. After studying a hit and telling each other of the wonderful trip, we were ready to lie down and be tucked away in the arms . f Morpheus. It was a most delightful and enjoy able trip for everyone and we sin cerely hope that it won’t be very long until we can hike to Bailey again. —Marion McManus. NEW S. S.
