The pageant, “Christian Edu
cation Impels,” which is the dra
matic story of Mars Hill, college,
was presented in the amphitheatre
by expression students Founders
Day, October 9, under the direc
tion of Miss Bonnie Wengert
and Dr. Ella Pierce.
The pageant is composed of
three episodes. The first episode
is the inception and early growth.
Episode two deals with the strug

to mind are incidents which oc
curred during the War Between
the States and the reconstruction
days. Episode three is a colorful
picture of Mars Hill at the present
time. In this scene were seen some
of the people which the Hill is
proud to call its alumni.

several members of the orchestra,
and a quartet composed of Miss

and members of the faculty sev
eral years ago.

Speakers Give Good
Mrs. Redwine, Prof.
Advice To Youth;
Lee Address Students
The result proves the need of
denominational schools, according
to Mrs. R. C. Redwine, of Hick
ory, who was the first of the two
chapel speakers appearing here
during the past two weeks. She
addressed the students on Octo
ber 4.
Backing up her statement by a
series of statistics she claimed
that 76 per cent of all college
graduates in “Who’s Who” are
from denominational schools.
“Youth has always borne a re
lationship to Christ’s world-wide
program,” she said.
Mrs. Redwine pointed out the
fact that there were youths in
missionary work in India and
China, and on the Baptist Board.
“Youth,” the speaker said, “has
always responded to God’s mis
sionary call.”
She closed with: , .
“God needs youth today.”
Professor R. M. Lee spoke Oc
tober 11 on “Opportunity.”
Mr. Lee said in the first part
of his speech:
“We are entering upon an era.
of scientific attainment greater-
than the achievements of man to-
the present time.” He then spoke:
of the responsibility of the youthi
to continue progress in the fu
ture. Five rules he named for
choosing a life’s work follow:
Consider the facts in the case;
don’t worry about it; pray; seek
the counsel of others without be
ing swayed by them; abide . by
your decision once it is made.
Recalling great opportunities of
the past, Mr. Lee mentioned Co
lumbus, Marconi, Pasteur, and
