surpass your attitude.
Do unto others as you would
have others do unto you; don't
make so much noise at 5:30
A.M.
Smile more often; it calls for
less emotional strain than a
frown, and it is much more
appreciated.
Often the only difference in
getting something and keeping
something is getting something
to keep.
He who laughs last laughs
first the next time; laughter is
the royal purple worn by the
soul; without laughter the soul
is naked.
When you must fight, fight.
But you will rest easier if you
realize you ore battling sym
bols deterrent to civilization
and not individuals.
Justice toward all should be
respected by all. Don't expect
an "A" if you earned on "F".
If you think you earned more,
prove it without doubt the next
time.
Think for yourself; only a
moron will stand on his head
to keep his feet from getting
wet while crossing a stream.
Watch your throttle; the in
ertia of a telephone pole still
opposes the momentum of a
moving object.
Stop, look, and listen; your
ears were not made to wash,
nor your eyes to weep.
Work toward an object; one
who travels in circles finds
himself continually drifting from
the central object, so great is
centrifugal force.
Even if you have the power
to do so, don't rob another of
some privilege without a just
cause. If he thinks you are
wrong he will do it again; this
will lead him further astray.

reaches, grabs, and piles his
plate beyond capacity with
food. This type of glutton would
almost put an honest to good
ness hog to shame for his lack
of ability to consume food. The
dining hall is a place where
etiquette and a little considera
tion for others should be
shown.
When we think of con
sideration for others, we im
mediately recall the conduct of
many students in chapel ser
vices. At times this behavior
is not very respectful to those
having part on the program. If
a student has received home
training, if he has consideration
for others, if he wants to prove
himself a gentleman, the world
soon finds it out. —^F. G.
In the historic hills of the
Old Dominion state there
stands a beautiful little home
overlooking the small but noble
headwaters of the famed James
River. A family settled many
years ago upon the identical
site of this little home, and the
oldest member of that clan,
still alive until a few years
ago, was my grandmother.
She sat by the fireplace in this
little home each day and
played her part as the sage of
the village, being now too
feeble in body to do more than
let her mind work on the prob
lems around her. In by-gone
days it was my supreme joy
and privilege to pass an after
noon at the feet of this vene
rable old lady. Though she
was wrinkled and parched of
countenance, there was some
thing great about her mien—
yea, even majestic. And even
though, from a physical stand
point, she was decrepit,
through those flashing eyes
one could gain a glimpse of a
mind that was keen and rich
in the lore of human nature.
Mere words cannot describe
this woman, but let it suffice
to say that in her age she was
not, as is customary, a weight
and damper upon the house
hold; she was the rock and
gainstay of not only those in
the household, but the entire
community as well. She lived
closer to her God than any
person I have ever known,
and by the strength of her
character she lifted the entire
family. As I would sit some
times quietly at her feet, she
gave to me, although I was in
ignorance of it then, pure gems
of thought and wisdom. There
is one especially that she
uttered so fervently that I still
bear its imprint on my mind.
Placing her hand upon my
head, she ruffled my hair and
said quietly, yet not in her
usual philosophical tone, "My
son, listen to me carefully and
mayhap you will retain this
until the not so distant time
when you shall be able to
comprehend. Remember this:
Tis strange indeed, but deep,
deep down inside there is a
great and potent surge. It boils
within you and at various mo
ments it almost breaks its
bonds. But this frail physical
shell, in which we of necessity
must remain for a period, tries
with all its appetites and in
stincts to curb that rebellious
force. In some people, my son,
it is beaten into submission
and lies dead for the remain
der of their animal lives, brutes
that they are. But yet in oth
ers, and I trust in you, it un
deniably fights until it strives
and strains and breaks its
bonds to rise above this
corporal and temporal universe
to heights unsuspected. Do not
hold it, my son, I ." She

In the way of newspaper
men. Mars Hill has done not
bad at all. Of course, a little
natural talent along the way
helped, but the "little ole Hill
top" has turned out several
editor Newspapermen who
have done the same thing on
other campuses. Take Orville
Campbell. He was the manag
ing editor of the Hilltop when
he was here in '39 and now
for this year, he is Editor-in-
Chief of "Carolina's Daily Tar
Heel. The University paper,
boasting the title of Oldest Col
lege Daily in the South, is
"doing well, thank you" under
the guidance of the Hilltop
graduate. Not being content
with just attending classes and
editing a daily paper, Orville,
has been writing for the larger
newspapers of the state a
series of sports articles on the
basketball teams of the "Big
Five" universities. With his own
"by line", Campbell is making
quite a journalistic name for
himself.

8. Best athletes are chosen
from the C-II class for sports
manship, service, participation
in activities, athletic ability,

Quite appropriate for these
militaristic times would be this
about Staley Smith of Mars
Hill and Wofford College.
"Smitty" was the Mars Hill
Lion's greatest roar last year
as quarter-back on the football
team. He was quite the lad on
the track team too, running the
fast sprints and mile relay.
He played first string football
at Wofford this past season
and now he has turned mili
tary. Stanley visited the cam
pus here last week-end wear
ing a captain's uniform of the
Wofford College Reserve
Officers' Training Corps. If you
want to see just how much of
a fighting man "Smitty" is, just
ask him if that's a Citadel uni
form he's wearing."
All of which leaves us with
a future doctor of highest
honors, two newspaper men of
top rank, and a future general
who'll certainly come in handy.
Who Is The
Average Person?
(Continued from Page 2)
he is proud of it and he de
vours praise. He has a temper
that often goes beyond his con
trol before he finally regains a
sense of calmness. He wonts
to elevate himself in the social
and business world. He seeks
happiness in life through a
family, a home, a newspaper,
a good book, or an outing in
the country. The average per
son has a deep sense of
emotion, whether it be sad or
happy.
Do not be disillusioned if
you are this type of person
since God, in making the earth
and its inhabitants, has created
a great and mighty class—just
the average.
