Pag Ent Ed As M. St Re Sp Sc A1 P. fr R B C ■V Page Four THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA Upon Waking Up In An Empty Church “What Fools We Mortals Be!” Plato Sleeping in church on Sunday morning begins with the night before the morning after, but it is my wish to keep such matters in the dark where they should be. As a rule the balcony is a much better place to enjoy a sermon, be cause it is away from the public eyes and all that sort of thing. You must not lose sight of the fact that the temperature is always better suited for fellows who are not as wide awake as they might be. The first temptation comes with the sight of our class mates. They get in various positions to enjoy the sermon. Maybe they enjoy their posi tions, but it might be questioned. You should sit up like a college presi dent if possible. Don’t take just any body for an example. As the services proceed you begin to feel the effect of lost sleep. You transform this potential energry into kinitic and proceed to jerk half a dozen knots in your neck. Mean while, more of your class mates seek comfortable positions. More time passes and you grab for the last straw. It breaks. The comfort able was a failure. Easing your con science by the thought that the ser mon is almost over, you glide into the arms of Morpheus. You may have pleasant dreams, but chances are you will not, but why worry about dreaming in a church house. You come to suddenly, gape, and wonder what Has happened. You are certain that less than a minute ago the house was filled with people. You remember something and start run ning for the dining hall as if all the “hants” and ghosts of Mars Hill are after you. You go into the dining hall with a very red face. The red face is the result of you run, not of beer or high blood pressure. You notice people on every side looking at you. You find a seat and sit down by it. You are greatly per turbed because every person looks at you and then goes into convulsions. Personally you can’t see the joke. By Billie Carter. Why do we wretched human be ings act as we do? Are we not all human, free, born of the same Crea tor? Yet we read so often of “class distinction.’’ This class is lower than that class, and that class is higher than that class. Why shouldn’t we all live in the same atmosphere and have the same friends and personali ties. It cannot be, for we all have differences of opinion. We are fools in one sense of the word. Why not live your own life, choose your friends, your own class. No, wait. A poor man does not choose for his companion a wealthy, educated, widely-traveled man, because he has an ideal—intellectual with intellectu al, and unintellectual with unintel lectual. “Birds of a feather flock together.’’ Opinion is a big word. The follow ing questions often run through our minds: What do people think of me? What am I? What right have they to judge? Everybody tries to please public sentiment. The styles of clothes, cars and society change; ev eryone must change. Women wish to appear attractive. Why? The men like them that way. Yet why camou flage and appear unconcerned to the gaze and admiration of onlookers as if to say, “It’s nothing unusual that I am attractive or my new outfit is clever. I’m always chic.’’ Why make-believe? Be what you are. Be natural. Be yourself. Every body will love you for it. Is it neces sary to put on airs when you go back to the old home town? And show the folks how much you have improved. They will love you more, be your old self. They know you. Still we mor tals are fools enough to believe that fine clothes and exaggerated manners make an unforgetable impression. Anyone who cares about you knows make an unforgettable impression, hide old self under illusion of an other world. There is still that desire to be dif ferent. It lures us on to dream and lower cases W clx ' Winter is in the air—Better come out and slip on a Woolrich All-Wool Zipper Coat—Our store is headquarters for Star Brand Shoes, Bradley Sweaters, Hummingbird Hosiery, School Supplies and Swann Hats.
