Members of the group are r their services freely as their .bution toward making the nOt-Senior the outstanding social I of the year. During the current week Dr. Clay I. Hudson, of Nashville, Tennessee, has been conducting an all-church conference in the interest of enlist ing the church membership and in creasing the spirituality of the Mars Hill Baptist Church. Dr. Hudson preached the morning and evening sermons last Sunday and talked to the assembled B. Y. P. U.’s as well. He has been speaking twice daily, in the morning at the chapel period in the college auditor ium and at night to a smaller group of church workers. The motto of Dr. Hudson is “All of our people in all of our program’’. He is attempting to have a revival in all the departments of the church. He has been speaking each day to the officers in the various departments and to all those who are interested in church work. Dr. Hudson has been bringing forceful and helpful mes sages to the students each morning. Dr. Hudson has been stressing the necessity of more unity in our churches and worshipping a living Saviour instead of a dead Christ. Dr. Hudson has also been talking to various church auxiliary organiza tions each afternoon. He has ex pressed the desire to have personal conferences with any of the students that wish to talk with him. Much good is coming of these heart-to- heart talks and it is Dr. Hudson’s de sire that more shall come to him. Dr. Hudson is secretary of the de partment of church administration of the Baptist Sunday School Board. He is touring the Southern Baptist Con vention territory conducting all church conferences in the various churches of the Convention. Dr. Hud son was formerly pastor of the Pritchett Memorial Church at Char lotte. He was a pastor for twenty years before he entered the service of the Sunday School Board seven years ago. A probable outline of Dr. Hudson’s sermons follows: “The Foundation for a New Testament Church”; “The Ideal for a New Testament Church”; “The Evangelistic Program for a New Testament Church”; “The Enlistment Program for a New Testa ment Church”; “The Teaching and Worship Programs for a New Testa ment Church”; “A Financial Pro gram for a New Testament Church”; and the “Fellowship Program for a New Testament Church”. Dr. Hudson will continue at Mars Hill through Friday. At the annual meeting of the Southeastern Junior College Athletic Association held in Newport, Tenn. on March 3rd, Professor I. N. Carr, dean of Mars Hill College, was re elected to the presidency of the or ganization to hold that position for the third consecutive term of office. Among other action taken by the Association was the making of ar rangements for a tennis tournament to be held here three days, the 10th, 11th, and 12th, of May. All of the schools represented at the meeting expressed interest in the proposed tourney and manifested the intention of sending participants in the next contest at Mars Hill. The plan is to make this tennis tournament a per manent feature of the Athletic As sociation’s program, to be held an nually in the future. A Committee was appointed to make detailed ar rangements for the tournament, which consisted of Oren E. Roberts, of Mars Hill, chairman; Coach Wad dell, of Pikeville; and Coach Morris, of Middle Georgia. Other officers elected by the As sociation were: J. L. Rabb, of Tenn essee-Wesleyan, vice-president, and Vernon E. Wood of Mars Hill, sec retary-treasurer, J. M. Boswell, of Cumberland, and E. J.

The College Orchestra has progres sed rapidly during the past several years under the capable leadership of Mrs. D. M. Robinson, who, while the school makes no great provision for the maintenance of such a musical or ganization, labors incessantly to build a creditable organization with the meagre resources at her disposal. The orchestra, this year, boasts a total of 22 musicians, the largest in the history of the school. The mem bership is_as_follows; ^irst violins— Alice Early, Calvin Padgett, Robeic King; second violins—^Charles Woody, Leslie Griffin; Cello—Edith Baucom; Clarinet—Carter Hawkins; first trumphets—Kenneth Stoner, Bruce Ellen and Billy Wright; second trumphets—Jarvis Lawrence, Sam Childs, Frank Powell; trombone— Brownlow Hastings; baritone—Joe Crumpler; E flat alto sax—Julia Cox, Bill Bryson; Bass viol—Schubert Holt; Marimba — John Fisher; drums — Robert Scruggs, Francis Gibson; and accompanist — Pearl Huffman. The orchestra daily renders the school a valuable service in playing for the regular chapel exercises. In addition to the functions performed during the usual chapel period, this musical company entertains the stu dent body with short chapel pro- grams at infrequent intervals throughout the year. A special ser vice which the orchestra renders is the furnishing of music at the an nual Commencement exercises. For faithful attendance upon their vari ed duties, it is planned to award let ters to the orchestra members at the (Continued from page 2) Frank Wells Thursday morning, March 8th, Supt. Frank L. Wells of the Bun combe County Schools, a former stu dent who left Mars Hill twenty-one years ago, addressed the student body at the Chapel hour. Mr. Wells stated that the State was turning out too many uneducat ed teachers, and that he had rather employ an educated man untrained, than a trained man educated. The speaker went on to say that his idea of a Junior College was to aid a person to assume responsibility for the direction of his own activi ties. His praise of the work done by Mars Hill College students was lavish. Mars Hill is always pleased to welcome back former students, and certainly Mr. Wells prominence in educational affairs of Western North Carolina is unsurpassed. A no more beautiful or lasting tribute can be paid to the memory of Yates Stroupe, who was fatally in jured in an amateur boxing bout in Asheville Saturday night, March 24, than the sincere expressions and feelings of those men, faculty and student members, with whom he was most intimately associated. With this realization in mind the Hilltop is printing below statements from a selected group. A memorial service for the young man was held in the college auditor, ium Tuesday morning. Professor Spencer B. King, who had been intimately associated with Stroup this year, paid tribute to the young man. He told the students of the beautiful funeral services held at the home of the boy’s parents in M't. Holly Monday afternoon. A group of Mars Hill students attended the final rites in Mt. Holly. Among those at tending were Professor King, Mrs. G. J. Burnette, hostess in the boys’ dormitories; Darrell Middleton, vice president of the Philomathian Liter ary society; Rema Young, president of the Clio Literary society; Walter Rabb, president of the Monogram club; Coach O. E. Roberts; Bill Net tles, Stroup’s roommate, and captain of the football team from which Stroup was chosen as the most val uable player and from which he was chosen all-Western North Carolina end; Brown Ammons, Cecil Mack, and others. The Philomathian quartet, com posed or ”Jonri"Corfeetf“"V’irgir“66’x,"' John Washburn, and Thurman Briggs sang at the close of the memorial service the same song which they sang at the funeral services Monday. The Rev. Bunn Olive, of the Baptist church here, was on the platform at the funeral services in Mt. Holy and bore the sympathy of the student body of Mars Hill College to the friends and relatives of Stroup. Young Stroupe is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. U. Stroupe of Mt. Holly, N. C., and two brothers and two sisters, all four of whom have attended Mars Hill College: Dr. Blair and Dr. Ula Stroupe, and Susan and Christine Stroupe all of Mt. Holly. Coach Oren E. Roberts Coach Oren E. Roiberts, who knew Stroupe as an athlete and as a man says: “We can learn a great lesson from Yates Stroupe; He fought every minute of the game; He was trying on every play; He never let up for a single second of any game I ever saw him play in. “Somewhere out yonder they are playng the game and Yates is on the team. I can hear cheer after cheer for him for he is doing his best.
