They were: Clarine Braswell, Katy Ruth Grayson, Bernice Angel, Mildred Yates, Irene Maney, Alpha Smith, Lula Mae Teague, Marilee Hud son, Aileen Kennedy, Evelyn Hill, Lucille Lackey, Lois Myers, Lois Duck, Nancy Winston, Kathryn Blount, June Almond, Cynthia Jane Hempke, Wayne Oates, James Kirk, John Wykle, and Hazel Baldlne. The Business Club met in the Philomathian hall for their regular meeting. The program consisted of a debate—^resolved: “That the practice of installment buying in the United States during the last ten years is detrimental to the nation’s best interests.” Eddie Russell and William Prentiss led the affirmative argument while Franklin Paris and Banner Shel ton upheld the negative side of the query. Ella Currin Pinnell and Joel Hinton also had parts on the program. Returning from the Southeast ern Convention held in Nashville, the I. R. C. delegates and other members of the club held their regular meeting at the home of Dean I. N. Carr. A discussion by those attending the conference made up the program for the eve ning. At the meeting of the Foreign Language Club in the Euthalian hall. Miss Eleanor Church, assis tant librarian, in cooperation with the german students of the club, presented excerpts from her diary notes as well as pictures made in Germany during her recent Euro pean trip. Carl Adams, T. W. Ellis, and Howard Cates also pre sented parts on the program. Meeting at the home of Mrs. W. F. Robinson, the Science Club presented a program consisting of initiation talks by C-I’s coming into the club. Fred Davis, Eliza beth Deese, Eddie Higgins, David Middleton, Sam Pinnell, and David Harris took part on the program. With their first game of the season less than two weeks away, the Mars Hill baseball team has been holding several hard work outs during the past two weeks. The first practice game of the season will be held today between the varsity and the “B” team and it is hoped that the weak de partments will be found out in this game. According to Coach Roberts, the greatest need of the team is outfielders. Gene Alexander is the only letterman returning to the outer garden and two positions are wide open. There is a possi bility that either A. D. Jones or Prank Gillespie will be converted into an outfielder. Both of them are catchers, but due to the fact that they are excellent hitters, one is expected to be changed. Among the newcomers who have shown promise are: “Lefty” Briggs, Bryan Leeper, Francis Taylor and Paul Holden. Both Briggs and Taylor are pitchers, while Leeper and Holden are infielders. Briggs has shown plenty of speed to date and from all indications he will be a start ing pitcher. Along with Briggs, C. G. Ray ■will bear the burden of the mound department. McMahan will be back at second. Peek at short, and Therrell at third. Below is a list of the games scheduled for April: April 1: East Tenn. Teachers college at Johnson City, Tenn. April 2: Boiling Springs at Mars Hill. April 8-9: Textile Industrial Institute at Spartanburg, S. C. April 15: Blue Ridge School at Mars Hill. April 16: W. C. T. C. at Cullo- whee. April 21: L. M. U. there. April 22: Hiwassee there. April 23: Milligan at Johnson City, Tenn. April 25: East Tenn. Teachers college at Mars Hill. April 29-30: Textile Industrial Institute at Mars Hill. Stringfield And Murray Are Only Lettermen Return^ ing to Backfield. “Strong from end to end and weak in the backfield” will sum up the football team that will take the field for the Mars Hill Lions in 1938. Under the direction of Coach Oren Roberts, the team has held several hard workouts during the past week and from all indications the success of next year’s team will depend largely on freshmen material. The Lion’s line should be one of the best in the history of the school if spring practice con ditions hold true. Of the ten lettermen returning, eight are linemen, and •with plenty of re serve strength, the forward wall should be tops. Jim White and A. D. Jones will hold down the flanks, Martin and Higgins will hold down the tackle positions, and Brown and Squires will be back at the guard posts. Leeper and Whitaker will fight it out for the center job. Both of these boys won letters last year and a real fight for this position is promised. The backfield is a big question mark. “Chic Murray” and Calvin Stringfield are the only two backs returning who earned letters last year. There is a possibility that Coach Roberts will shift some linemen to the backfield. Several linemen from the local high are planning to enter the college next year, and due to this, several of the linemen will be shifted to strengthen the backfield. Mars Hill Delegates Attend I. R.
