Miss Gastleman Wins In Library Contest In the “Win a Book” contest sponsored last week by the Mon tague Library, Peggy Castleman won first prize, and Barbara Brookshire second. The contest, which required the contestant sto work a very com plicated and unusual double- crostic puzzle, was under the di rection of Miss Eleanor B. Church, librarian. The puzzle de manded a knowledge of books in all fields, a comprehension of what is going on in the literary world, and much information as to wtho is who in the world of books today. About twenty students entered the contest, and several of them “almost won.” The winner of first prize was to select any book from the two-fifty price list, and the winner of second had the choice of any book from the Modern Li brary Series.

Lynch, and Sunday school teachers. Dr. B. W. Loomis, "and Dr. R. L. Moore. Perhaps the most appreciated service sponsored by the B. S. U. during the Summer Session was the vesper service which was held in the open air theater each Mon day and Friday evenings. In ad dition to this prayer service, there were small prayer groups meeting each evening in both the boys and girls dormitories. 'The Sunday School classes have enjoyed a happy summer under the fine gfuidance of Dr. Loomis and Dr. Moore. One class met in the Philomathian Society Hall and the other in Melrose Dormitory. Many students attended the young peo ple’s department in the Sundlay School made up of town students, while others taught in various classes. The Baptist Training Union sponsored an open forum con ducted by William Allred meeting in the amjihi-theater each Sunday evening at 7 o’clock. Discussions were led by both students and faculty members. The leaders for the summer were Tom Freeman, Raleigh, Prof. B. Y. Tyner, Ra leigh, N, C., Bill Allred, Marion, Evelyn Lassiter, Raleigh, and Dr. Vernon E. Wood of Mars Hill. Such topics as “Prayer”, “Wor ship”, “Friend^ips”, “Is Christi anity Practical?” and “Christ in Home Life” were discussed. Many interesting ideas were presented through all these discussions and everyone present benefitted great ly from them. Open Forum at Mars Hill was a success. “Our B. S. U. Council this year was a ‘prayer council’,” Miss Lane said, “and it is said that ‘lived prayers are always an swered’. We have had the most successful summer session in re ligious activities we have ever had at Mars Hill and we attribute this to the eager cooperation of each person with a job to do. May we thank each friend who has con tributed to the happiness of this short time together.” Hoyle Elected Head Of Student G. C.

VERA TART MARSH Meditations of a Dean (With apologies to Carrie Jacobs Bond) A dean comes to the end of a long, long day And sits all alone in thought And the bells don’t ring, yet they seem to say What joys have you this day brought? Do deans know what the end of a perfect day Can mean to a home-sick heart? When the sun s gone down with a flaming ray And the DEAR DATES have had to part. Now we’ve come to the end of our Summer Way Near the end of a journey too, And I think of the days that have been so gay, Of you who have been so true— For memory has painted this Sum mer W ay In colors that never fade. And every day seems a perfect day When I think of the friends I’ve made. Vera Tart Marsh, Dean of Women. Umbrella Serenade Thinking that they could go away and spend the day and there by nott let anybody know that last Friday, July 28, was the anni versary of their wedding day. Director and Mrs. Bunyan Y. Tyner did just that. And still thinking the same thing, the modest couple returned to the campus about ten o’clock, no doubt proud of the way they had kept everything secret. But they had a surprise in store for them: In some manner Mrs. Marsh (depend on her!) had found out that Friday was the anniversary of the Tyners; so she informed Frances Dixon, Edna Lou Moore, and Louise Lane, the campus trio when it comes to good singing, and they, accompanied by Mrs. Marsh, proceeded down to the Tyner re treat in Treat Dormitory, and while the rain poured, splashed, pattered, or what-have-you-down, the trio, sheltered under one um brella, serenaded the happy couple. Among the songs they sang were “O Promise Me,” “Love’s Old Sweet Song,” and “I Love You, Truly.” When the serenaders, umbrella and all, had departed. Director and Mrs. Tyner could not help saying that they felt like singing “When We Gome To The End Of A Perfeot Day.” Congratulations! Etiquette^ Class Of Mrs. Vera Marsh Proves Popular More Than Hundred Enroll ed For Course Taught Here First Time. A course in etiquette was added to the curriculum of the summer school here this session, the first time such a course has been of fered at Mars Hill College or at Wake Forest or Meredith, and it is one of the first of such eoui'ses in any Southern college. Mrs. Vera Tart Marsh, dean of women at the summer School, taught the course. It was through the plans of Mrs. Marsh and Di rector Tyner that the course was made available. No charges were made for the course, and it 'vyas open to all students. The large number of students who elected the course was evi dence that young people really are interested in knowing the proper thing to do and when and where to do it. At the first meet ing of the class more than 100 students enrolled, and later many more were added. Mrs. Marsh, who came to Mars Hill from Meredith College, where she is assistant dean of women, is a native of Georgia. She re ceived her formal education at Wesleyan College. In introducing the course, Mrs. Marsh explained that the purpose of a course in etiquette is to aid in the development of a good social and business personality, for good manners are the corner stone of a pleasing personality. In giving an origin of etiquette, Mrs. Marsh said that it was first referred to in 550 B.C., in China, by Confucius. The word itself originated with the French and meant “Ticket”, for people who had the honor of being presented at court were given tickets on which was written a code of rulei to be observed. nia, and Frank Castletoury, of Ra leigh.
