Mars Hill To Send
Forensic Team To
Dixie Tournament
The Teom Made A Good
Showing Last Year
On December a group of
forensic-minded students will
go to Charlotte, North Carolina,
to participate in the Dixie
Forensic Tournament.
For the past six years our
college has sent representa
tives to this important meet.
Last year our students won
seven out of fourteen first
places. The group representing
us this year promises even
greater honors.
Heretofore this activity has
been under the able leadership
of Mr. J. B. Huff. This year,
however, because of Mr. Huff's
absence from the campus, the
forensic council, debate com
mittee, and speech department
are working together in arrang
ing for our students to make
the trip.
Tumbling & Boxing
Added To Phys. Ed.
Great Interest Is Shown
By The Boys
John F. West Wins
Mazagine Contest
John Foster West, junior
journalism major at the Univer
sity of North Carolina, has re
ceived a check for $50 from
Thrilling Wonder Stories maga
zine for taking a top place in
the publication's amateur story-
contest.
The story, "Moon Trap," a
5,000-word fantasy describing a
scientist's adventure on the
moon, will probably be pub
lished in the June, 1943, issue.
Oscar J. Friend, science fiction
editor of Thrilling Wonder
Stories, paid for the story upon
acceptance instead of the usual
procedure of payment upon
publication.
(Continued on Page 3)
Two new phases of the physi
cal education program, tumb
ling and boxing, have been
opened to the boys with a great
deal of interest shown.
The tumbling team will be
made up of thirty boys. Coach
Roberts plans to have about
four exhibitions, which will be
given between the halves of
basketball games. The boys
who pass the set requirements
in this sport will receive mono
grams.
Boxing is open to aid the
boys in getting in better physi
cal condition. If some of the
boys wish to take it up more
intensively than it is taken up
in the physical education
classes, they will be given a
chance to do so. "Pug" Green,
an experienced boxer, is in
structing the boys and giving
them points about the sport.

A Ringing Welcome I
Our two visitors from Bowling
Green Thursday remarked that
they certainly did enjoy the
"ringing" welcome they re
ceived in chapel that morning.
There's nothing like southern
hospitality, is there?
Correction!
In the Nov. 14 issue of the
HiUtop Miss Logan, teacher of
freshman English, was misquot
ed. The article quoted Miss
Logan as saying: "It is better
to have loved, much better."
Miss Logan said, "It is better
to have loved and lost, much
better." We, of the Hilltop staff,
apologize for this inexcusable
error.
Nonpareil Reception
December 5th
Committees Aonomied Have
Begun Their Work
The Nonpareils are already
at work on their reception,
which is to be held on Satur
day evening,* December 5, at
eight o'clock. This annual event
is always held by the Non
pareils in response to the anni
versary program which is
given by their Euthalion broth
ers.
Committees have been ap
pointed to carry out the vari
ous duties that enter into the
making of a successful recep
tion. The program committee
has perhaps the heaviest re
sponsibility of all of the vari
ous committees. This commit
tee is headed by Eleanor
Israel, assisted by Augusta
Reece, Mozelle Gross, and
Eloise Autrey.
The decorations will be a
very important factor in the
success of the reception. Mau
reen Bennett has been appoint
ed as chairman of the decora
tions committee. Lighting will
go right along with decorations
as a vital part of the effective
ness of the event. Gwendola
Pierce has been placed in
charge of this committee.
Patsy Keeter is in charge of
refreshments, which also play
an important role at reception.
Nonpareil's musical talent will
be under the direction of Fran
ces Elam cmd Evelyn McLeod.
Euthalians, these Nonpareils
already begun to work, and
they can't be stopped.
Occasion Marks Eus’
52nd Year
Eus Under Leadership
Of Gulley
The Euthalian Literary so-
^ietv oresents its fifty-second
anniversary program in the
no]l»=ge auditorinm tonight at
=ight o'clock. J^ll students and
faculty members, as well as
manv outside friends, are an
ticipating a memorable eve
ning.
The Euthalians go forth to
night under the direction of
capable officers. Marcus Gulley
of Alexandria, Va., will pre
side. With him at the desk will
be Bob Clodfelter, secretary;
and Charles Harris, censor.
Forest Denman, vice-president,
is chairman of the program
committee and to him goes the
credit for the interesting pro
grams and innovations during
the anniversary term.
Working with Marcus in co
ordinating the activities and
spirit of the brother-sister so
cieties are Grace Westmore
land, . president of Nonpareil,
and her supporting officers.
The campus has been buzzing
this week with strings of new
songs and with hints of secrets
which the Nons and Eus will
reveal only tonight.
Euthalians are keenly con
scious on this anniversary of
the great hosts of their brothers
across the waters who are
standing with them in spirit.
From their successes of post
years and from thfeir con
tinued loyalty, the Eus of '42
draw inspiration as they try to
perpetuate the high standards
which their predecessors have
upheld. In a particular way,
the Euthalians who are pre
senting the program tonight are
remembering their brothers
who only in the last few Weeks
have left the campus for active
patriotic duty.
Joint meetings have been
held for the past two weeks
and the Nons and Eus have
truly exhibited a remarkable
society spirit; Committees have
been constantly in session and
every minute detail is in readi
ness for the great event. Eu
thalians have been guarding
the auditorium carefully, and
the entire campus is eqger for
the program to begin* > ■, , ■
The first opening steps' qf
anniversary will be the pre
sentation of flowers in thel
amphi-theatre at 6:30' p, m7
Then at eight o'clock ^e Eu
thalians will reveal the perfect
ed results of weeks of concen
tration and hard work. Great'
success is anticipated by all.
