Page Four THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA Dramateers Give First Production The Mars Hill college drama teers captivated the interest of an audience of approximately 800 when they typified The Romantic Age in a comedy of three acts by A. A. Milne, Saturday night, Oct. 14, in the college auditorium. Emily Patrick portrayed Me- lisande, the most romantic char acter in the play. Anne Lewis, as Mrs. Knowle, the mother of Me- lisande, showed an unsurpassed technique in depicting a fussy, spoiled mother whose one ambi tion was to see her daughter safely married. Gordon Bernard as Mrs. Knowle’s husband added his capable touch of subtle humor to the play. Ralph Jinnette por trayed a clean-cut young English man in the role of Bobby Coote. Geraldine Shields as Alice car ried her role as a capable Eng lish maid should. With his por trayal of Ern, the idiot, Mac Ken- nickell delighted the audience. The lead male role of Gervase Mallory, a lover in answer to a maiden’s prayer, was played by C. C. Hope. Paul Meyers, the only C-I in the cast, portrayed the philosopher Gentleman Susan ad mirably. ■The play was directed by Miss Bonnie Wengert, head of the Dramatics department. The pro duction staff was composed of Ruth Jones, Paul Myers, and Mac Kennickell. ‘MOTHER” TRIPLETT Above is “Mother” Triplett, of Waynesville, who came to Mars Hill as house mother for the girls of Rivermont dormitory. Already “Mother” Triplett has won her way into the hearts of the stu dents by her good humor and kindly smile. Although nearly sixty years old, “Mother” Triplett retains her youthful vigor. She says that her optimistic philosophy is due to her association with young peo ple. She has always lived a life of service, but she believes that her most useful days will be found serving Mars Hill college. International Summary (Continued from page 2) statesmen that he believed per manent peace to be possible only through an immediate treaty. He said that the British and French could not hope to subdue the in domitable spirit and machine of the German people, and that therefore they should make some concessions and harmonize the discord before it was too late; nevertheless, the two nations re fused his proposals very curtly. Obviously the motive behind the bfehavior of Mr. Hitler was that he did not wish to make definite terms himself but rather expected some neutral to do the bidding. It is thought that he desired either the United States or Italy to act as mediator. putting their forces in order. They believe that the balance of power can be maintained only by thwarting German plans. Anglo- French efforts have been strengthened because of the vast amount of supplies and raw ma terials that have been accessible, and it looks as if they will be able to carry on the war indefinitely. Blockading of the Nazi outlets has a great deal of effect. A semi official British communique sta ted that the Admiralty had been successful in destroying or di minishing 90 per cent, of the German trade. Many strategists say that the blockade is more ef fective than that during the past world war and will be the de ciding factor in the final reckon ing.

Concert To Be Given Saturdav One of the newest campus or ganizations is the “Los Tertuli- anos.” Under the advisorship of Mrs. Vann, it found its origin out of interest shown among Spanish students, desirous of learning more about Spanish speaking countries and their customs. The “Los Tertulianos” held its first meeting two weeks ago, and the following officers were elect ed: Caughey Culpepper, presi dent; Milton Butler, vice-presi dent; Dorothy McElwain, secre tary and treasurer. The “Los Tertulianos” chose to meet Monday before the sec ond Tuesday of each month. In terest among its charter members, who are advanced Spanish stu dents, is keen, and a lasting or ganization is expected to be built. First-year students will be admitted soon. Peace Efforts End Because of the stinging refusal of Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Da- ladier to accept Mr. Hitler’s con ditions, the Nazis have turned their attention again to prolonged war. Whether Germany with her sharply limited resources can en dure a protracted campaign is still a question. Her relations with Russia surely will go a long way in determining this. Evident ly, however, Russia has seen some opportunities for herself and will not be so willing to aid Germany. Trade and diplomatic agreements between the two nations do give the Reich some ray of hope, but the history of Russia and her sys tem today indicate that Russia is for Russia and Russia alone. Ger many well knows this and realizes that her only suitable alternative is to end hostilities. Considering the deplorable and uncertain con ditions in Germany, considering her efforts for peace and the ad vances of Russia, it appears at the present that only Russia has actually won anything. As fighting on the western front goes on in a desultory man ner, the democracies are rapidly Small States Scared Not only has the contagion af fected the great European states, but it has had its spreading in fluence on the smaller. Stalin in the maneuvers of his compeer has an incentive for taking action on his part, and is now enforcing some of his coercive diplomatic policies on the small countries surround ing the Baltic sea. His accords, chiefly of a commercial character, with Latvia, Estonia and Lithu ania are expected to have far- reaching effect. According to many acquainted with the agree ments, these countries have now, by their submission, been reduced to the status of Russian protec torates. Especially did the Soviets create an ado, particularly in the United States, with publication of their demands on Finland. All this scandal in Europe is destined to have its effect in America. As debates wax elo quent in Congress and scenes change rapidly in Europe, the gram here at Mars Hill and on the Rhine or on a battlfkro we keep an eagle eye on Con^i C and Europe. •fed wh I The Mars I Pharmacy I IS y( r CO “To Please You Is Our Aven to Serve You Is Our Pleasil if m t FOUNTAIN SERVICE®’^ * 5 CC mg Try Our Delicious Sundire a dent pone MARS HILLS GLEANERS .
