McLeod Typists L Julia Wingate, Helen Blackburn Reporters Marian Sprinkle, Dorothy Walker Eugene Brissie, Humphrey Jones Al Bellinger, John Crisp, VOL. XI FEBRUARY 13, 1937 NO. 8 Hail Wake Forest! We w-ere greatly impressed with the manner in which the strong Freshman quint of Wake Forest invaded Western North Carolina recently. Willingness to cooperate with schools and colleges in this region, the display of good sportsmanship on and off the hardwood floor, coupled with their ability to play a fast brand of ball, caused the Baby Deacs to be held in high regard by all who saw them play, and moved Al Bannister of The Asheville Times to pay tribute to the squad, remarking that Wake Forest won a lot of friends on that brief trip of the Frosh Basketeers. Again, we say we were impressed. V'e definitely have knowl edge of several who have designated Wake Forest as their future college, who had before pondered over the advisability of attending this Baptist school of the Piedmont. We affirm that a school need no better advertisement than cour teous representatives. Wake Forest, we salute you! And though we aren’t often moved to praise our contemporaries, we present our best journalistic “plum” to Archie McMillan, editor of the Wake Forest Old Gold and Black, a proved' gentleman whose paper has reflected the true atmosphere of the 103-year-old Wake Forest and who has transferred to many here the desire to be a “Deacon.” —H. A. E. Aunt Minnie Meanwell With the approach of St. Valen tine’s Day, Aunt Minnie went into a rhapsody of romantic beauty and adorned her living quarters with the following lyrical outbursts- that she received from her ardent admirers. From The Dramateers Upon the stage we walk and tuim. And drama we affect. We hope our sophistication Won’t give you a pain in the neck! For, all of you we love so dear In the melloAv spotlight’s ray; So be; our little Valentine Upon this festive Day. From The Glee Club Sing a song of sixpence Pocket full of rye. If you say you like our sing-ing, It’s nothing but a lie! Starting Over With this issue we start over. The first semester is past and the eleventh volume of the Hilltop is half finished. We, of the staff, have the experience of half a year behind us, and the even greater expe rience of another half year before us. It is our aim to make the Hilltop foremost in the southern junior college field. It is our aim to put out a paper worthy of you and your ideals. To help us, let us know how you feel about it. Drop us a line, or write us a note. Don’t just kick us; give us a hand or a pat on the back. If you like some thing, say so. If you don’t like it—shout. If you want to help us in person, our meeting is open to you. Room 4—6:30 P. M., every Mon day night. —J. J. C. A Gentleman s Game If we won no honors at any other field of endeacor our forensic team would still be worthy of our most hearty compliments. The stand ards of debate at Mars Hill have been so consistently high, that our teams now rank well in the lead of most junior college squads. When a debate coach receives our fifteen inquiries from senior colleges, such as Wake Forest, Emory and Henry, University of Florida, Elon, Ers- kine, and only a few from junior colleges, surely something is respon sible. As a rule debates are sparsely attended at Mars Hill, with but few other than the judges listening, and yet it is in this line of en deavor that Mars Hill has won her greatest fame. She always receives * a hearty invitation to return, whenever she goes somewhere, and has earned the name of being a cultural center, turning out true gentle men. In March the debaters go to the Tri-State Junior College Tour nament, and in April to the Southern Tournament. We, for one, ex pect them to bring home a good-sized bacon. —J. J. C. Please Worn spots are again appearing on the grass of the circle. The grass is just beginning to grow so now is the time to keep off. We all want our campus to remain beautiful, so we should remember to keep to the sidewalks, and make the Please sign unnecessary. —3. J. C. Three, four open the door And be our Valentine; And if you say we are a bore We’ll consider your feeble mind! —^0— From The Youth’s Temperance Union We talk ourselves blue in the face About Whiskey, Beer, and Wine. We do so want you students For our DRY Valentine! —0— From Dean Diggers Simple young men come fishing In my Spilman fish bowl. But, when I ring my dinner bell Melrose is their goal. But some of these days when the weather is fine. I’ll let you come and stay. If you’ll be my Valentine I’ll never run you away! From The Young Men Goosey, Goosey Gander Where shall I wander Down Patton Avenue? I’ll go to the Pickwick For a cue ball and stick To play a game or two. From there I’ll go to Gooches, Might lead to some smootches From the femme with eyes of blue. Then to the Imperial To see some lousy Serial. (May I hold hands with you?) If for my Valentine You’ll promise to be mine— No other ladies will I pursue! —0— From A Yankee I’m a little Yankee Dancing through the woods; I’m a little Yankee, And Boy! I’ve got the goods. The ladies how I wow them. Man! I’ve got that thing. I warble in their pink little ears, “Of Thee I Sing!” So to youse Southern molls. Yeah, kid, I’m fine. If you don’t think me conceited- You may be my Valentine. C-I’s Plan Banquet To Be On April 24th The C-I class held its monthly meeting Friday, January 22, at the chapel hour with Billy Poteat presiding. Plans and committees for the Junior-Senior Banquet were discussed. The officers met Thursday of this week and ap pointed collection, program, deco ration, and menu committees. The Junior-Senior Banquet comes on April 24 this year. With Our Alumni DOROTHY WALKER One of our former students makiner the headlines for himself recently is William (Doc) New ton of the class of ’13. Doc New ton has accented the nosition of head coach for football at N. C. State College—a S6.000 a year iob. For the past five years he has been coach at Davidson College. Doc Newton received the vote of seven to one in the nomination meeting of the officials. Christmas marked not only the beginning of a new year of great er happiness in the usual way for Bonnie Francis and Lois Haynes of the class of ’34, but it marked the beginning of a new life. Miss Francis was married to Mr. How ard Shoak of Asheville and Clyde and Miss Haynes to Mr. Shirley Mooney of Clyd.e. Reports from two of the more recent graduates, Virgil Cox and Evan L. Evans, shows them to be doing well in their work at Wake Forest. Mr. Cox belongs to the Barristers Club, plays in the College band and sings in the glee club. Evans, a senior in the academic school is a ^member of the varsity debating squad. COMPLAINTS and OTHERWISE FIRST THINGS FIRST “Do Right is an all-inclusive and all-sufficient rule. Every student knows right from wrong.” These are the opening words un der Requirements and Regula tions in the Mars Hill College cata logue. It will be noticed that there are no “shipping” offenses—no do’s or don’ts listed, thus leaving the impression that one will break no rules if his conduct is confined to the limits of the highest social standards. Yet, when a student arrives on the campus, he is “swamped,” lit erally buried with innumerable rules and i*.egulations. He finds that we have returned to the an cient oriental custom of seating men on one side of the church, the women on the other. He finds it an unforgiveable breach of social contract if he calls for his co-ed friend at her dormitory (other than Spilman) before escorting her to a show or public entertain ment. He is severely criticized, almost threatened, if he escorts her honre again. He finds himself subjected to an entirely new social system, unheard of anywhere else. No investigation is made as to his right or wrong doing; he must abide by rules, so many in num ber that he may never have heard of the one he is breaking. There are certain offenses against society that are forbidden in even the most liberal schools. The governing authorities here, however, should be commended on their judgment where serious of fenses have been involved. It is, however, entirely unfair to treat lightly and forgive serious offend ers, when students are stripped of their honors and social privileges and confined to regulations typi cal of the strictest penal institu tions, for breaking some minor rule, the over-stepping of which could hardly be construed to be wrong.
