At last the much talked about (family pride?) C-I edition of the Hilltop is out. While you are waiting for your street car, you might look it over and let us know sometime what you think. On second thought, maybe you should not do the lat ter; but please remember that we are rather green and inexperi enced. First of all, it is only fair that we should acknowledge with sincere appreciation the indispen sable a.ssistance rendered by Bill Blaine, Orville Campbell, and Paul Early, of the regular staff. We hope you like it! Life is a beautiful vessel With tall, white sails, like wings. It carries a body made of dust And a silver soul that sings. A swift wind carries the vessel In a channel straight and true. Where the dazzling light of happy i _ Brings love and joy to view. When the waves are high o’er the t And the wind is harsh and cold. Those are the days there’s no joy ii When hearts grow sad and old. George Blackwell REPORTERS Franees Bonkemeyer Virginia Terry. David Britt Ann Lewis Vol. XIII.

We, the Thp d f 7/u vacated by the C-II’s The duty of following and the duty of leading are falling upon 0^ s ou ers. hen we think of our mediocrity and inability, it appears As we hear talk about such things as the C-I edition, C-I of ficers, commencement speakers, and the like, we are reminded that only five weeks are left in the school year. This stirs a mingled feeling of joy and sadness—^joy because the year’s work is nearly over and sadness because the time is nearly here when the C-H’s and others will leave us forever. By their departure a terrible gap is created in Mars Hill as the C-I’s see it, a gap that cannot be filled by the incoming class except in number. In the future the present C-I class will take on the duties and privileges of the seniors and will carry on. But it is easier to talk about such a thing than to do it. Nevertheless, to show our gratitude for innumerable ser vices and favors, we of the C-I class pledge ourselves to carry on and to put forward always the ideals and principles for which Mars Hill stands. Sometimes no breeze stirs the vesi But a still, grey, fog-like haze Wraps the ship in a gloomy shroud Idleness rules those days. Life is a beautiful vessel. Sailing we know not where.
