i^outh’s Temperance
Council At Work
The work of the Youth's
.lemperance Council is very
;?ra 1 ying thus far. Four sepa-
W e councils hove been or-
janized with the following
__residents: Raymond Martin,
ousan Harbison, Bessie Griffin,
md Velma Trott. A plan of
been put into effect
vhmh includes as its major
ivdies: getting signers for
ne total abstinence pledge,
earning scientific facts con-
, alcohol, reading and
istnbuting temperance litera-
^re, personal evangelism, both
Winning others to Christ and
deepening the Christian life,
'na endeavoring to influence
inti-narcotic legislation or any
er legislation making for
e er citizenship. In each meet-
g the work done is reported
n' ®^aluated by a system of
ins. To date 1,096 points
® been reported. However,
ac is being done which
mnot be. evaluated. For in-
ance, it was the Youth's Tem-
There are several kinds of
examinations — namely, the
kind our doctors give us, the
kind to which we are sub
mitted as we walk down the
street, and the kind we shall
take next week. We are all
familiar with the medical
examination since we were
obliged to be the object of one
before entering Mars Hill.
Whether or not we have been
the object of someone's eyes
on the street depends on us.
We are now about to concern
oourselves with the third type
—the examinations which will
determine whether our home
for the next five months will
be Mars Hill or the place where
Mom and Pop are. Perhaps
some of us have already con
cerned ourselves with these
examinations. We have dis
covered silver threads among
our carbon-papered (or G. I.
cut) tresses, and there are dark
pouches under our eyes. This
will nver do! Those nightly
cram-sessions in our closets
must stop. If we spent our aft
ernoons studying rather them
strolling on New Dorm hill with
our favorite S. P's, we would
not resemble wretched hags
when we go to our eight o'clock
classes.
A hint: studying a little
thoroughout the semester helps.
Just ask those who know.

perance Council which pre
sented the movie "It's the Brain
that Counts." Also it was at
their request that Mr. Wood
and Miss Brewer taught the
study course on Mr. Hearst's
book, Alcohol the Destroyer.
Yes, distinctly, we are alive!
Come help us • in our struggle
to free the world from the alco
hol evil.
January 15, and there are
four more days until exams
begin. Are you scared, C-Ts,
or do you know the score? (I
speak primarily to C-l's be
cause I know that the C-II's
aren't scared. They know
they're going to flunk.) Seri
ously, you needn't be scared
if you have prepared your
lessons pretty evenly. You
might not make the A's you
made in high school, but you
probably won't do too badly.
And there are still four more
days left to "cram" in.
Those of you who think that
your grades for the first part
of the semester are average or
better might do a little heavy
preparing and surprise your
teachers by compelling them
to give you an A. And you
might surprise your parents by
getting an invitation to join
one of the campus honor
clubs. The clubs will be scout
ing for new members immedi
ately after the beginning of the
new semester, and you C-Ts
will be the lucky people. May
be you think you haven't a
chance, but you might have.
You don't have to be a genius
to get into the Scriblerus Club
or the French Club or the Inter
national Relations Club. You
don't even have to look like
a genius.
Why don't you give it some
thought and make an effort to
shine during exam week? You
might surprise yourself.
