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.

Why is “break” not rimed with
“freak”?
Will you tell me why it’s true
We say “sew,” but likewise “few”?
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.

to within a point of the leaders,
12-13, at half time.
In the last half Mars Hill took
the lead and at one time held an
advantage of 18 points only to
have Newport rally and regain
some of the ground which she had
lost.

“Headed for Eden,” a comedy in
three acts by Sidney Dural will be
presented in the college auditor
ium next Saturday night. Cathar
ine Etheridge and Lewis Hamlin
are in the leading roles for this
production, and from all reports
it would be well worth your while
just to see these two. They are
both cast as star reporters on rival
newspapers.
The cast includes one of the
largest in recent years, a total of
seventeen expression students tak
ing part.
According to Miss Bonnie Wen-
gert, director of the play, the
Dramateers are considering to give
the play at several other places
besides Mars Hill. New scenery
will be used for the setting of the
play. Robert Murphy and Eliza
beth Coppedge are in charge of
the stage.

rough plumbing, and electrical
work are complete on the building.
Forty men have been steadily at
work on the building, losing only
one week during the entire winter
on account of bad weather.
Mr. Blackwell has rendered
notable service as head of the en
dowment program, while Mr. Til-
son has diligently and tirelessly
supervised the actual building
work.
Already thirty-seven out of the
fifty-nine rooms in the building
have been reserved for next fall,
and reservations are pouring in
every day.

joyed and deeply appreciated and
his loss will be keenly felt.
His absence will mean an elec
tion of a new president for the
Scriblerus Club. James Sawyer is
vice-president and will act in the
capacity of president until the
next election can be made. Rachel
Templeton was recently elected
secretary of the club; all of the
new officers, with the exception
of the president, took office at the
