Page Four THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA Former Expression Students Make Good According to a statement made by Miss Wengert, head of the ex pression department, all reports show that many of the former ex pression students of Mars Hill are making successes in their work elsewhere. Howard Richardson has been on tours with the Carolina Play- makers. A play by Janie Britt, entitled “Fixin’s”, a story of Abraham Lincoln, was taken on a tour by the playmakers. Edwin Bunker played an important role in “The Recruiting Officer,” a 1836 revival play by Dubose Hey ward, presented at the dedication of the restored Dock Street The ater and Planter’ Hotel in Charleston last fall when the city accepted the project from Harry L. Hopkins. The leading role of “The Yellow Jacket”, presented by the dramatic club of Stetson University, was played by Wood- row Wall, another former Mars Hill student. At Appalachian State Teachers College, Lucile Hartley is president of the Play- crafters. Haynes Brown, who finished last year, was selected among the best ten debaters at tending the Strawberry Leaf Festival this year.
