Page Four THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA Hilltop Makes Plans For Literary Edition All students who are interested in printing some creative writing in the annual literary edition of The Hilltop, to be published during the latter part of April or the first of May, are urged by the staff to be getting material ready For several years this custom of printing the literary edition, com posed of works done by any stu dents talented in writing, has been carried on very successfully. Last year there was contributed a large number of works of all types for the paper. Those who are interested in writing poetry, essays, short stories, or like material should begin work, striving for the best literary style, for it is hoped that contributions will be very numer ous. All writings should be of rea sonable length for a publication of this type. Members of the staff will be glad to accept any material of fered.

And the maker of verse Cannot rime his “horse” with “worse”? “Beard” sounds not the same as “heard”; “Cord” is different from “word”; “Cow” is cow, but “low” is low; “Shoe” is never rimed with “foe.” Think of “hose” or “nose,” then “dose” and “lose”; And think of “goose” and yet of “choose.” Think of “comb” and “tomb” and “bomb,” “Doll” and “roll” and “home” and “some.” And since “pay” is rimed 'with “say” Why not “paid” with “said,” I pray? Think of “blood” and “food” and “good”; “Mould” is not pronounced like “could.” Wherefore, “done,” but “gone” and “lone”— Is there any reason known? To sum up all, it seems to me Sounds and letters don’t agree.
