The occasioii--society elections; the participants—some very conscien- •Ji^pus students, the respected leaders of the campus, who knew what ttey wanted and made it their business to see that what they wanted wgs what the rest of the campus wanted. Politics, admittedly, is fashionable on many campuses. But at ^ars Hill, where no political theory other than a possible “complete mmersion could justly be applied as representative of the school, It IS threatening a very integral part of the indefinable Something that puts Mars Hill in sharp relief beside other colleges—democracy with a generous portion of Christian spirit thrown in. I However the elections were engineered, implicit trust has been the task of ripping apart the political cliques that are so alien to the Mars Hill we love. —E. L. & S. M.

Just take a look at some of the stu- dents on Mars Hill campus. These students have risen above their phjoical handicaps so completely that we are hardly aware of them. cause of their cheerful spirits we find it hard to realize that it takes quite as much courage to rise above handicaps today as it rn'c ct » ‘Zt that some!

Frances Orowski In Music Festival Several people of Mars Hill interest participated in the 1946 Piedmont Festival of Music and Art, which was presented July 25-28 in the R. J. Reynolds Me morial Auditorium in Winston- Salem. One of the events on the open ing program was a play produced by the Department of Voice and Opera Dramatics. Frances Elvn Orowski, a former Mars Hill stu dent, was a leading character. Miss Mary Stringfield also participated in the festival. Dr. Lamar Stringfield, brother of Professor P. C.

Stuart Heideck It took four months in the Army to convince Frank Stuart (Stew) Heideck, former presi dent of the Mars Hill College Ministerial Conference, that his calling lay in the ministry and not in the field of agronomy. Heideck had been studying agronomy at the University of Maryland, College Park, Md., for six months when he was drafted into active Army service on April, 7, 1943. He had been on the in active service list for six months previously. Four months later he was back in mufti and was be ginning to map plans which he hopes will eventuate in his being commissioned an Army chaplain when he finishes his schooling in 1950. The son of Frank H. Heideck and the late Mrs. Heideck, the 21-year-old ex-soldier is a native i of Teaneck, N. J., but he claims Maryland as his native state. He has lived in the Washington, D. C., greater metropolitan area since 1932. He is a graduate of Silver Springs, Md., High School and his official residence now is Kensington, Md. After his discharge from the Army on August 7, 1943, Heideck worked for four months at odd jobs—his accomplishments include managing a service station, help ing remake radios and working as a mechanic. Then he decided to resume his studies. Mars Hill was recommended to him by the Rev. Clarence E. Jones, pastor of the Kensington Baptist Church, for which Hei deck supplied last summer. He registered for the spring semester in January, 1944. He will com plete the regular two-year course in January, 1946, but is planning tentatively to remain through the approaching spring semester and graduate with the current senior class. He plans to go two years at Wake Forest and three years at Crozer Theological Seminary, Philadelphia. Heideck is now vice-president of the Ministerial Conference, As.sistant Director of the Baptist Training Union and sergeant-at- arms of the Euthalian Literary Society. His past offices include being president of the Ministerial Conference, chaplain, vice-presi dent and president of Euthalia, business manager of the 1945 Laurel, treasurer of the Baptist Student Union Council and vice- president of the Cosmopolitan Club. Coach Harvey (Pop) Lance im presses Heideck more than any other person at Mars Hill. “I like the way Pop, the tough football coach, can speak so humbly and forcefully on the Bible before the students in chapel.” Heideck himself is avidly inter ested in sports—notably baseball and the Washington Senators. His second sports interest is ice- hockey. He has played both. He is not without his theory as st or ol Mildred Leath M C. B( G CO W M The girl who is responsible : the early work on the Lauij; our Mars Hill annual, this yi^ is Mildred Leath, the editor. Jf is planning to do her best to g us the annual before the end ^ school next year. Mildred is an ‘“Ashevilliai and in her own words “a Tarb ? bred .and born.” She was grf , uated from the Lee H.
