Page 4 THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. C. Oct II. 1947 Students Note Many Changes About Campus Students returning to the cam pus for the second year have noted several changes about the campus. There is the new girl’s dormitory, the new cafeteria under construction, Treat dormi tory’s change, new furniture in Spilman, the renovated- Music building, and the changed cottage furniture. The new Huffman Dormitory for girls is now in use. It is named for R. O. Huffman of Mor- ganton, a former trustee and member of the buildings and grounds committee. There are three floors and accommodations for 123 students and seven fac ulty and staff members. Work on the new cafeteria has progressed gradually, and the number of workmen has increased since the beginning of this term Treat, the oldest dormitory still in use, was redecorated during the summer. It now houses boys instead of girls. Some rooms have been divided into offices for the newly expanded personnel di vision of the college and for members of the faculty in the history department. Spilman dormitory has been completely refurnished, and some improvements have been made in the boys’ cottages. Larger heating equipment is being installed in the Library basement, affording steam heat for the adjoining Music Build ing. Soundproof ceiling and rub ber stair tread will be installed. New flooring is downstairs, and there is a total of thirteen new studios and practice rooms.

Music Building (Continued from Page 2) that his father had made for him a small two-brick mold as he was too little to carry the usual four-brick mold. The efforts to raise money for this building were, perhaps, great er than for any other buildings on the campus. To make the final payment on the building, the trustees had to sell part of the original campus. The late George Tillery completed the building and accepted a lot in payment for his bill of eighty-five dollars. Since its completion it has served in many capacities-^for class-rooms, library, bookstore and now for music studios and prac tice rooms. It was in this building that the girls’ literary societies had their beginning. For their meeting place, the girls impro vised seats by laying boards across boxes on the west end of the first floor. Last year, because of its in adequacy, some suggested that the building should eventually be re moved; however, public sentiment intervened, and this summer its face was lifted. Now you will find part of the floors refin ished, others completely new, a new heating system, and many other improvements. Unlike most historic old places, however, the music building has more than a colorful past. Better still, it has a glorious future THERE’S BEAUTY j; Compliment* Of ; — IN — 1; CLEAN CLOTHES ; THE MARS HILL SEWING SHOP GLEANERS i; lliiilii Two Days’ Service j- General Sewing And WE APPRECIATE YOUR Alteration.

C. ★ ★ The Y. W. A. was fortunate in having as visitors on the campus, Oct. 4-6, Miss Hilda Mayo, State Young People’s leader, and Mrs. Roy Starmer, missionary to Rou- mania, who were working with the council as they made their plans for the year’s work. Miss Mayo led noon-day watch on Saturday and both visitors spoke at the evening worship service on Sunday night. All the Y. W. A. members .met with the visitors on Saturday evening from 6:00 to 8:00, when light refresh ments were served and excellent suggestions were made to the group. On Monday at chapel, Mrs. Starmer spoke in the college au ditorium and Miss Mayo conduct ed the program in the Church. Since Roumania is closed to missionaries Mr. and Mrs. Roy Starmer hope soon to go to Italy for a visit in the home of Dr. Dewey Moore, who taught a B. T. U. study course on our campus last year. They expect to remain in Italy as educational mission aries. Dr. And Mrs. Moore In 51st Year Here This present school year marks the fifty-first year of Dr. .and Mrs. R. L. Moore’s continuous service here at Mars Hill College. Fifty-one years ago when Dr. Moor« became president, the cam pus .^comprised only a little more than two acres. The enrollment was only 180, and the faculty consisted of three members. Through the years of Dr. Moore’s and Dr. Blackwell’s presidencies. Mars Hill has rapidly g;rown to its present enrollment of 960 and faculty of 72 members. Dr. Meador Is FD Speaker (Continued from Page 1) this college. The original name came from the French Broad Bap tist Association which included all churches in this end of the state. Louis Palmer is reliably reported to have given the name “Mars Hill” to the college and com munity, basing this name on Bib lical history. Other names, Moore, Spilman, Treat, Wall, Huffman, and many others, have come from the leaders and benefactors down through the years. The most interesting story con nected with the founding of the college, is the “legend of Joe.” It is said that, when the trustees were unable to pay in full their bill, the contractors, Shackleford and Clayton, of Asheville, ac cepted and held as security, Joe, one of Mr. J. W. Anderson’s slaves. This action caused the trustees to act quickly in acquir ing the money to redeem Joe. To day Joe’s grave is marked by a stone slab, placed there on Found er’s Day 1932 when Joe’s ashes were moved to the campus. These are but a few of the facts ■with which all should be familiar. They help to make up the heri tage of Mars Hill College up to this Founder’s Day. Two years ago Dr. Moore re tired from active teaching, but Mrs. Moore continues to carry out her duty as bursar in an unex celled manner. Both Dr. and Mrs. Moore continue to add to the friendly and Christian atmosphere of the campus by their presence here. PAUSE FOR COKE RELAXES GOLFERS
