One, who is pal, companion, and friend, One who is genuinely real! Somehow, I guess I’ll never know why, God has blessed me with three Of the loveliest creatures He ever made. With which to keep company. The little things are those that count. Like kneeling together ’fore bed. With heads all bowed and hearts united. Our prayers to God are said. 1 Hilda Mayo Hilda Budget Your Time- madp^non’^+r^^ A nation is made poor through the waste of time, which leads to wasted years WP mTk tS the hS? fi, different use of these hours. The rich and the poor, twPT,*J 5 t’'® 1®'^- the workman and the student—all have just twenty-four hours in which to do all the things people do because they must do them or because they desire to do them. Some are able to do outstanding things because they exact of themselves the ise use of their time, and others fail to rise above the doing of unimportant things because they fritter their time in futile gestures or in fanciful planning. All of us have a margin of time apart from the hours necessary for work and for recreation. How shall we use this margin of time? save just two hours a day, the saving would mean more than six hundred hours in a year. In six hundred hours we uld read at least ten great books and ponder them earnestly.

For I love my friends and thank my God Who gave this gift to me. Rolen Bailey wrote the words to this hymn. The choir director at his home church has set them to music. Living And Praying O living Christ of Calvary’s tree. As dawn begins another day. We humbly, prayerfully call to Thee To guide us Thine own way. And may we be upright to all, Whate’er their race or creed, And may all nations heed Thy call For each one Thou didst bleed. We pay the price for our waste of time; and we pay in the coin of disappointment, small achievement, and obscurity.

Then, look at it in Sienl-^ Yorr "T’ ^bout that friend. You have heard it said that there is a friendly rivalry be tween the cousin societies. Don’t you believe this, or can you not or Eu. What we are driving at is the slandering remarks that have een made lately between cousin society members. Not only fresh men but also seniors have been guilty of this. This is not the Mars ^ societies God is predominant and we strive to live up to all six ideals by living a life for God. (Continued from Page 1) held September 18. The Drama- teers meet on the first and third Tuesday nights of each month in the auditorium. A playlet, under the direction of a member, is given each meeting. Acting, stage setting, lighting, makeup and costumery are studied. In conjunction with the glee club and orchestra, the Drama- teers plan a Christmas produc tion, according to the president. C01T16S from Rocky Mount, N. C., and says she could talk for hours about her family |if she once started. And who couldn’t? Year before last she attended the W. M. U. Training School in Louisville, and after graduating from Mars Hill she plans to return there. Although [going to Louisville has been one of her dreams realized, Hilda Still says, “Mars Hill is the best there is; there couldn’t be anv [better.’’ After taking a business course at home, Hilda started her first job. She kept books for an ice cream company that was just [coming into being. “That,” she says, “‘is why I like chocolate ice cream.” For the past two summers, she has done young people’s work throughout the state. She gets a [special thrill out of this kind of job, and has an opportunity to do [exactly what she enjoys most work with people. Among her favorites are folks and sunsets. Hilda also likes to swim and to work in the library. You’ll see her behind the big desk [stamping books almost any time. Last year, you remember, Hilda lived and worked at the Infirm ary. She says that among her [special likes are the Infirmary and Miss Brewer. We might add chocolate candy, and say that her father seems to keep her well supplied. (Edna Moore girls, [please take note!) She thinks society has a very definite place on our campus, and her efforts for Nonpariel are proof of her sincerity. Hilda has been a real help to [the students here with her under standing and practical outlook. I As a general thing she has a splendid disposition, but two things she “just can’t stand” are her hat’s blowing off and alarm clocks. When informed of her election to the office of Y. W. A. presi dent, Hilda was absolutely stun- |ned. We do not know why, though, for, with her zeal for missions and her love for Wom an’s Missionary Union, she is the 'person for the job. T. W.

Miss Anderson held 15 library orientation classes for freshmen at the beginning of the semester. Millions of persons listened ir that night as the man they had voted the nation’s number one ero of the week received a $500 awar and an elaborately in scribed scroll which cited his “dis- inguished personal heroism” in rescuing two trapped miners at he risk of his own life several days previously.. His name is Tolbert William Nelson—the Rev. Mr. T. W Nel son since 1940-and he and his wife are seniors at Mars Hill this year. Nelson, who decided seven years ago at the age of 27 to be come a minister after working as dnd a salesman ^=^stens to explain, f.,iK traveling salesman w ^ president of the Mars Hill Ministerial Conference. Inordinately modest, he hasn’t broadcast his feat of bravery dn°K?r it’s doubtful If, before this, more than a very few of the students o enjoy his amiable compan- wnship ever heard of his nation- ame. He brought out the scroll, the radio script that he '^ept as a souvenir of the pro gram, the photograph taken as he received the award from the songstress, and the fan mail which came from as far away as *outh America, reluctantly and then only after long persuasion. the Nelsons, both native Vir ginians, live in a modest, three- ^om apartment in the home of S' T. Bowden, of the Hible Department. Both are work ing toward Bachelor of Arts de grees, which they plan to take at Carson-Newman two years aft- er they finish here next June. Since a few months after their campus in the fall of 1944’ Nelson has served as full-time pastor of the Flag Pond Church. “Full college and ministerial duties make something of a prob lem, ’ he admits; but adds thoughtfully, “You soon get used to work at Mars Hill.” He thinks that Mars Hill can’t be topped as a college and knows of no faults worth mentioning. ^ A native of Jonesville, Va., Nelson was licensed as a preacher in 1940 and has been active in the ministry ever since, never letting other jobs and school work interfere. He turned down a lucrative offer from a well-estab lished church to return to the Hill this year. (Continued on Page 4) '
