The unlucky two fell prey to the appetites of two wom en helpers in the college dining hall.

And zvaste tts sweetness on Seen The ’possums come out be tween midnight and 4 a. m., says Tolley. A large number congre gate nightly between the church and Spilman dormitory. Tolley makes no effort usually to catch the animals. Once he caught one in a chicken house on the road leading to Melrose and Brown dormitories after the excited cackling of hens had attracted his attention. There is one ’possum, however, that lives up to his name. He lives apparently in the pipe running out of the walk near the book store and has always managed to elude Tolley. “I ain’t never seen the like,” says Tolley worriedly. He makes it plain that he thinks civilization isn’t doing what it should for the hills. Students at Mars Hill favor the study of languages. In a re cent survey among students on the campus, more were interest ed in French, Latin, and Spanish than in any other phase of study. English ranked second. Bible and history were third. Of the 168 students inter viewed, 48 preferred foreign lan guages, 31 English, 28 history, and 28 Bible. Other subjects chosen were mathematics, chem istry, and biology. Those who listed languages stated that they were aware of the growing need in our govern ment for linguists. Among those interviewed were future teachers, journalists, preachers, lawyers, chemists, engineers, nurses, and missionaries. Mary Broome industriously dashing around the campus is black-eyed “Mop” or “Ma” (alias Mary) Broome. Words seem inadequate in expressing the depth of this fascinating personality. “I gazed and gazed and still my wonder grew, that one small head could carry all she knew.” That is what really counts! Mary does not hold all the high offices but there is always the knowledge that she is ready, capable, and willing to help when needed. Before going further, let us tell you a little of Mary’s background. This interesting lady hails from Asheville. There, in her pleasant home, she was reared in the com pany of one brother and two sis ters. Mary did not plan to attend college. She started life in the business world, her first job being a telephone operator. Seemingly nothing satisfied her, for she kept changing positions. She was em ployed as an office secretary and I then as a government clerk. Sud denly, she realized that her life was not to be spent serving man but serving God. She was called to definite Christian work. With ambition and determination, she enrolled at Mars Hill in Septem ber, 1944. Does she like it? That is putting it mildly. Her own words are: “My days now are the happiest of my life. Mars Hill is the most beautiful place on the top side of the good Lord’s green earth.” Mary proves her love by the desert air, ' li Raymond L.
