THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA. Page 3 3 HILL COLLEGE SCORES TOTAL OF 9S2 POINTS ■mer st direct ^ Xw and williams are chickSGORERS OF SEASON is in Ml than average game of base ball. Top scorer and our choice for best-all-round player is tall, versatile Hugh Snow of Dob son. His "deadpan" expression fully characterizes his sure, easy, play, and it is amazing the way he takes rebounds off the backboard. His filltory status is I-A, with a ninety- day referment attached. Natur ally basketball is out in front in sports for him, but he also likes to bowl. Billy "Edna Moore" Tote* who comes to us from the Mills Home of Thomasville, will turn eighteen Mdrch 11, cind who knows what may become of a boy these days when he is IS? If he isn't in the army, he hopes to do defense work this summer. He prefers football to basketball, and his pet joy is keeping the girls warm up at Edna Moore. He stepped ably into the shoes vacated by Vernon Williams and showed brilliant ability in feeding the ball to his teammates. We were glad to have Eddie Adelman back on our campus last week. He is now leading a life of leisure at his home in Wilkesboro, awaiting his call. His play in basketball was limited but showed great con sistency. Last fall he distin guished himself as captain of one of the two football sauads. Frank Arrington, ladies' man of the team, is now in the U. S. navy. He played a great deal of high school ball and probably would hove de veloped into an exceptional Lion with a little more time and experience. He was noted mainly for his shots from mid court. Kenneth Haynes was able to play in only six gomes. Mumps grabbed him as one of its mcmy victims and kept him out of the last part of the season. He's a tall, hard-work ing boy from Lewisville and likes basketball and football. Another visitor to our cam pus last week was another of the boys, Zadc Whitesides. Despite his limited play he ranked 5th in the season's individual scoring. He's a Rutherfordton boy, and his ci vilian life terminated the first part of this week. When Vernon Williams left Mars Hill for the Army Air Corps, he was high scorer of the team. He made beautiful long shots and could also handle the ball close under the basket. Vernon is interest ed in all sports and made him self known in football last fall. Individual scoring stacks up something like this: Snow 253 Williams 250 Bailey 198 Ponder „ - 65 Whitesides 60 Corbett - 40 Tate - 30 Freeman 27 Brown - .. - 14 Roberts - - 13 Adelman - .. 13 Haynes — 9 Finch - - - - - - „ 6 Arrington 6 instrud^^b the season our irce Ti^ shown excellent mettsviibip and clean ploy- s been have engaged all hick" hove not once let illy by *^he Hilltop would t for Ipgnize these fellows good f' which ih scorer of the year [y to hkadge Bcnley, who nee lea disgust on those g Maj he "just couldn't Corolioft Wednesday for wher^x, N.

Moron: A young one was watching his Moron girl, Fran cis, play the piano, "I can play by ear," he boasted. "So can I," she replied, "but I get the worst headaches that way!'" * * * You kissed and told. But that's all right; The guy you told Called up last night. Jest Jottin Just Arrived Little Helen Loretta Ashworth recently arrived to brighten the home of Prof, and Mrs. Ash worth, who live on Faculty Hill. If labs have seemed more cheerful and interesting than usual, now you know the reason. Music in the Spring Miss Fisher announced that nearly all groups have report ed for the spring step-singing contests. Hove you? If you haven't, you might be em barrassed when we gather to hear you sing on Edna Moore steps. Get busy! Spring's just around the corner hiding under a white blanket. Music Lectures Those who have been at tending the series of dis cussions and renditions of the music of Franz Schubert, given by Miss Lois Fisher, hove thoroughly enjoyed the time spent at these lectures on Tues day afternoons. Our thanks to Miss Fisher for creating and developing our appreciation for great music. Vive Brown! Vive Melrose! Even though the boilers of the heating plant which heat Brown and Melrose dormi tories has been "outa whack" since the first of the week, the boys are still carrying on os if nothing happened! Invita tions to sleep and study hove been received from the faculty and from several boys living in school buildings. The ad ministration building has been turned into a "private den" for the boys of Melrose and Brown. The entire campus is proud to learn that there have been no ccmploints! That's the spirit, boys. Keep it up! Visitor (Continued from Page 1) He said that U. S. forces there are going to drive the Japs from the Aleutian area in due time.

A party is being planned soon in Celebration of the triumph. • The tumbling team would like to recognize George Buc hanan, who was the first of the group to make the Army grade. He is a quiet, likable fellow, and he was uncon sciously a great inspiration to the rest of the boys. He spurned no task, great or small, and was always on the job with a smile. Good luck. Pvt.

Lions Victors In Last Three Tilts ■ ♦ Mars Hill's hardwood five ended a rather mediocre session Saturday night with a win over Biltmore. Their last three contests resulted in tri umphs, bringing their totals to 9 wins against 11 losses. Six of these losses may be ac counted for by the fact that the opponents were foUr-yeor colleges: two each to Milligan, Tusculum, and W. C. T. C. Final results are: Metfs Hill OppdnefttB 46 Milligan 52 44 Champion 'Y' 51 41 Grad^g 39 33 Milligan 5S 34 W.C.T.C 61 41 Ashe. Sch. ... 40 44 Champion 'Y* 54 34 Brevard 36 36 ........ Ashe.
