XII. JANUARY 15, 1938. NO. 7 * More Variety Monday morning Professor King conducted the chapel program, and gave several slants on the Chinese-Japanese hostilities. It was entertaining and both interesting and educational. We live in the world today and need a knowledge of conditions that exist about us. Then why couldn’t we have programs more fre quently that deal with the world in which we live? Then we could see its problems and what is being done toward a solution. The world in which we live has many different forms and conditions and there would be no necessity in dwelling upon one phase of modern-day events during these progrrams. So after spending class after class upon histories of the past, why not devote one program once in a while to the history that is being made today? —E. F. B. Al Bellinger t- As we turn to our work after the Christmas holidays. The Hilltop staff starts the new year minus its editor. It was found impossible for him to return and indeed the staff has been left with the most valuable man and the main cog missing, Al Bellinger. It has been our distinct pleasure to work with and for Al all the first of the year and labor in the same field with the same hope of high achievement in view. Never has there been an all-round better fellow with whom we could be associated, and we feel safe in saying that The Hilltop has never had a better editor. It is a great blow to our staff and his loss will be keen ly felt in the issues to come. His labor is no longer a reality, but .a memory and a goal which we shall strive to reach, and we shall give all we have toward the attainment of this goal. We, personally, are indebted to the rest of the staff for the fine spirit and cooperation they have shown when such an hour presented itself, and wish to ex press a heart of thanks for all. However, we feel sure Al will tackle his new task with the same vigor he showed us, and with that he is bound for success. So, to a swell editor and a prince of a good fellow, “May you walk in the light dreaming of your heart’s desire, and may your dreams be real.” —E. F. B. Another Year! Another year has elapsed into history for Mars Hill, and now we face the new year with a clean slate. During the year 1937, Mars Hill made progress and many gains under the motto of “plain living and high thinking.” At the same time our Alma Mater was thrown for losses in several ways. Sickness invaded the faculty, and kept away from us for a period of time the most important factor in our walk of Chris tian Education. Then too. Mars Hill rpourned the loss of two of her very own that were taken by death. Miss Mary Douglas Hodges and Howard LaMont. Other types of losses took their toll too, and so the gem in the emerald ring of hills suffered setbacks that are so char acteristic of life itself. At the same time, long strides of improvement and large gains have been made by Mars Hill. A new dormitory for girls, north of the main campus, has been going up and is rapidly taking the size and form of a modern and beautiful building. Again the college gained recognition on other things in the outside world. They excelled in the field of sports, dramatics, education, forensic activities, and in many other places. Then, as we face another year, it is up to you to see that Mars Hill’s gains outweigh and outdistance the losses during 1938. Mars Hill has been kind to you and it should be both a privilege and duty for you to give all you have to make it grow spiritually, materially, and educationally. —E. F. B. I Ramblers a - Roost I Well, the long awaited day has come! Is everybody happy? Exams have come. Did you have the swell time you planned during Christmas holi days? Everyone here went home planning to catch up on the sleep he lost during the term-paper period; however, we all seem to have returned with the same idea in mind! It must be the vogue to bring back a pair of dark circles to wear under the eyes. You know, one plans to forget all about Mars Hill while he is away for a week-end or holiday season, but now and then a little wish to see Bill, Mary, John, and the gang will come stealing in his head while he is dating his best girl. It would be a safe bet to say that at least sixty per-cent of the students here got one of those Christmas cards with two black Scotties on the front under the attractively w r i 11 en “Merry Christmas”. Oh, yes, did you hear about the Mars Hillian who bummed one hundred miles from High Point absolutely broke to see his girl-friend? Not once, but three times! Ain’t love grand? It is very, very rumored that Jimmy Bannister and Kays Gary had one super-rare time when Jimmy visited Kays. Ada Wall, the little girl with the big smile, spent about two nights at home with the folks during the holidays. More power to you, Ada! Hey, girls, did you break any rules while at home? I’ll bet you stayed up after ten-thirty at least twice. Bye, “Bobbie Dee”. Remember we all love you, and we surely do hate to see you go. You’ve been a rare little bit of all-rightness on the Mars Hill campus. And, by the way, get up off your knees. Virginia Fowler also leaves Mars Hill with our best wishes. Come up an’ see us sometime. Who could be missed more than “Bush” and Bob Bellinger? Here’s hoping you always have the best of everything; you de serve it. Be real good, and bye! Just one word in parting—^let’s all come through those exams with colors flying. We can do it —we’re betting on us! President Is Invited To Nashville President R. L. Moore is one of 400 representatives of Ameri can and foreign colleges and uni versities invited to attend the formal inauguration of Dr. Oliver C. Carmichael as chancellor of Vanderbilt University in Nash ville, Tennessee, February 5, 1938. Delegates to the inauguration will take part in a symposium of higher education in the South, in which sessions will be devoted to liberal arts, medicine, engi neering, law, theology, nursing, and graduate education. The symposium will cover two days proceeding the inauguration date. They’re Gone—But Not Forgotten BY LENA SUE SHERMER DR. W. LOCKE ROBINSON, who was born at Beech Glen, came here as a day student.

Hold Special Christmas Program The last meeting of the Y. W. A. before the Christmas holidays was held in the church auditorium. Burning candles in the form of a cross were placed on the rostrum. Just below the cross was a cradle. Betty Cousins led the devotion al, which was centered around a Christmas theme. This was fol lowed by several musical selec tions sung by Elizabeth Coppedge and Rachel Templeton. Marie Compton then read the famous selection by Van Dyke, “The Oth er Wise Man”. Each girl was al lowed to participate in the pro gram by placing her Lottie Moon offering in a chest at the base of the cradle. Several ministerial students attending the meeting also presented gifts for this offer ing. The total amount of the spe cial Christmas offering was $87.09, With untiring efforts on the part of the leaders, this organi zation has made much progress during the past few months. Much of the credit is due the capable and efficient leaders, who have toiled with utmost care that their work may be successful.
