Students Stage
Talent Parade
New Weekly Social Event
Was Begun In
February
Each Wednesday evening be
tween the two suppers, Mars
Hill collegians, dated and dandy,
file into the college auditorium
for the weekly talent parade.
Harmonica blowers, singers,
drummers, hypnotists, impersona
tors of faculty members, and oth
ers have since February been un
burying their talents before cheer
ing fellow-students. The hypnot
ist, Cecil Hill, got the audience
under his power and took the
grand prize.
Gridders Gall
Signals In Greek
“Give us an omega! Give us an
omega!” Thus was the cry from
the grandstands as the C-I and
C-II ministerial students tangled
in an hellenic football game last
Armistice day.
Dr. R. L. Moore, president-
emeritus of Mars Hill college, was
the honoraby coach for both
teams. Crouched in his spotless
wing collar, he assumed the air of
a big-time coach and watched the
young preachers smite one an
other and turn the other cheek.
The pigskin tangle was Grecian
enough to be played in a Parthe
non. Quarter-back Bob Allred, of
the Greek 3 class, called signals
“in the original.” None of the
erudite ministers was hurt in the
conflict. The only person really to
suffer from the Armistice battle
was Xenophon, the Greek his
torian, who was a much neglected
person that week-end.

A memory of a quarter of a
century ago: in the fall of 1913
or 1914 Thomas A. Edison turned
up in Mars Hill with four days’
growth of beard filled with dust
and grit. On top of his shaggy
head was an old cap with a greatly
arched bill. The string around his
neck hardly resembled a tie, was
unusually twisted. Tagging along
with Mr. Edison were Henry
Ford, of Model “T” fame; John
Burroughs, the naturalist; and
Harvey Firestone, the tire man
ufacturer. They stopped for less
than a half hour on the corner
where Mr. J. F. Ammons’s store
now stands. Elated Mars Hillians
presented the famous foursome
with autumn flowers and fruit.
When the bearded inventor was
asked by P. C. (Photograph Con
scious) Stringfield to pose for a
picture, he laughingly remarked
that he was hardly presentable.
But the picture was made.
The party was en route to Bre
vard, had come from Asheville
via Marshall.

Outfitted in costumes (made
by the home economics depart
ment) that were authentically
Bavarian, three girls won high
praise, last month for their ballet
like pantomime of a handsome
youth who, much against the
wishes of a rather awkward ad
mirer, finally claims a more dainty
dancer as his partner.
This Bavarian trio was pre
sented as one of the numbers in
the annual exhibition of the
girls classes in physical education.
Another highlight of the pro
gram, every one there recalls, was
“The Opening of the Rose.” Girls
clothed in white evening dresses
representing the petals of the
rose, gathered around Mebba
Cooper, who was dressed in
yellow, and simulated artistically
the slow opening and closing of
the bud.
A string orchestra played for
the interpretation of Hoffman’s
famous and popular “Tales of
Vienna Woods.” The interpreters
were attired in pink.
Other features of the program
included a group of folk dances
from several nations, with the
girls costumed appropriately to
represent the nations from which
their dance came.
More than forty girls partici
pated in the first portion of the
program, which included exer
cises, marches, and group dances
used in the classes.

Gridmen Take
Eight Games
Quintet Wins Third Place
In Southeastern
Tourney
More than a hundred boys took
part in Mars Hill’s five varsity
sports—football, basketball, base
ball, track, and tennis—-and won
most of their games.
Lion gridmen tackled a ten-
game schedule and turned up af
ter Turkey Day with eight tallies
hanging on the victory side of
the ledger, one tie, and one de
feat. The climax of the season
was a fierce battle with Brevard
on one of the Thanksgiving days.
The Lions came out on top, 24-14.
Coach Dickerson’s basketeers,
fifty strong at the first of the
season but later narrowed down
and divided into the varsity and
“B” aggregations, got off for a
slow start, but picked up speed
until they won eight of the last
ten contests and pulled down third
place in the tournament of the
Southeastern junior college asso
ciation.
Last spring the Lions hung up
in three sports records that were
heavy on the victory side. Winning
twelve out of twenty games, the
ball-and-glove men claimed a
majority of their contests. And in
track and tennis the Lions went
wild.
The cinder-path men piled up
113 points in the tournament of
the Southeastern junior college
associ.ation and captured the title,
and the racqueteers, coming
through seven straight matches
without a loss before the tourna
ment, marched through the con
ference meet to take first honors.
