Take a look, for ex ample, at this note of optimism from Inez Wyatt. Success A tiny hand reached foj- a star. Faltered, and then drew back. Years later, the very same hand Grasped, and pulled it down. Tommy Stapleton goes phi losophical in his words about the world’s humblest creature. The Earthworm He pushed his head from out the sod. And wiped the black dirt from his eyes; He gave one look up to the moon. And watched the silent clouds go by. do not know just what he thought. (The scientists say he has no brain) ; But soon he turned his head to earth. To bits of leaves for hunger ■strain. Of Vice And Men- While few, if any, of our young ministerial brethren have had the indelicacy to refer to it, as such, during the current Youth Revival, vice—certainly as a subject, possibly as an actuality has figured importantly on the campus during the past week. And this is all very good and natural, for vice is the antithesis of virtue, which the young ministers have expounded generously this week. When such a thing is thrust so prominently on our daily life, sure ly we should know what it is of which we must rid ourself. Of course, there is the dictionary, which will tell you that vice is or failing.’’ But let’s get closer to earth. Vice is smoking. Really? Then the tobacco habit, it is to be feared, will make bed fellows of some highly-regarded ministers and their lesser con temporaries in sin in the nether regions. Possibly it might be best to leave the spiritual aspect of tobacco to the conscience of the user, and the physical aspect to his doctor. ‘a moral fault Vice is attending movies. Conceivably. Personal convictions would seem to be the ruling factor here. Vice is drinking. Perhaps. But the HILLTOP shares with the administration xhe fond hope that this is not a particularly acute problem on the campus. Then just what can, unquivocally, constitute vice on a Christian college campus? There are a thousand and one things which can legitimately come under the heading of “moral faults and failings’’ which are too often discarded by the ecclesiastically inclined in favor of the more ex citing “border-line’’ sins, which are accordingly pounced upon with a fervor all out of proportion to their importance- To such persons, and to others, we commend serious thought, and subsequent action, on vices that are vices, in every sense of the word, and about which there is no debate—hypocrisy, bigotry, pro crastination, intolerance, prejudice, sloth, selfishness. Free of these you are ready to discourse to your heart’s content on the^lessM evils of the day. —S. M. & E. L. Into The Valley?- The week of Youth Revival is one of the greatest weeks experi enced on Mars Hill Campus. Everyone is lifted to the mountain peak. Was it as great this year as ever? What did it mean to the Student Body as a whole? Shall we descend into the valley next month? These questions are important. The answers lie within each readei Don’t expect any more from Youth Revival than you have been willing to put into it. There can be no real spiritual revival until each person who is to take part examines himself; until each person who is to listen prepares his own heart. One of our greatest privileges has been to listen to our own fellow student.-! proclaiming Christ so magnificently. We are inspired; we challenged to give of our best. We make resolutions; but chen Jerry Saville makes this con tribution : “To know her is to love her.” Such a statement was spoken of Louvene Jordan. Then it is no small wonder that the Clios elect ed her to their most honored po sition, President. Her personality is all that Clio stands for. Her beauty is one of excellent train ing and nobility. A smile plays over her whole face as she greets friends on the campus. It is a smile of sincerity. Her ambition is in keeping with her personality and family tradition. She intends to do religious Words, poems, songs are tinsel— I ccily sit and absorb tbe glow And become contrite in knowing sucb great happiness Has come to me, unworthy, in capable me. Oh may I grow tall in the thought That I may love and live today. Joyfully, superbly, thoughtfully and prayerfully— And so become a disciple of your divinity. work.

She finished high school at Elkin. Here at Mars Hill she has worked assiduously for the Hill top as Sports Editor and for the Laurel as Feature Editor. Her beauty has been recognized by the Laurel Staff. She is also on the Y.W.A. Council. Before coming to Mars Hill she worked a year for Civil Service.
