Mars Hill Girl Succeeds as Model Patronize Our Advertisers It’s the ideal time to pick and choose from a bountiful stock of stunning choices at G^ENTER MATTHEW ONI HAYWOOD STM£CT Mars Hill has many things to boast of including a lovely model who is far superior to the usual conception. “All that glitters is not gold,’’ is an expression often stated when models are discussed. Many persons think of them as being beautiful women whom God .na.s endowed with enchanting physical attributes which limit their possibilities of being normal human beings. The common idea of models is that they are vain, frivolous, and limited in mental capacity. Miss Marjorie McPheeters, an exceptional model, was bom at Mars Hill, where she now resides. Here she attended grammar school, high school. Mars Hill College, and joined the Mars Hill Baptist Church, of which she is at present a member. At Mars Hill College she was outstanding in music and home economics classes. Her formal schooling was continued at Meredith College, Where she majored in home eco nomics and received a B.S. de gree. She also attended Wake Fo rest College. Following her grad uation she taught home economics and chemistry and directed dra matic and musical productions in Harris High School at Forest City. For several years Miss Mc Pheeters had desired to become a model, so, after one year of teach ing, she enrolled in Washington’s School of Fashion where she was CALENDAR OF EVENTS Nov. 22: 33-mm Movie in Audi torium, 6:30 - 8:30 P.M., “It’« A Wonderful Life,’’ with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.

Her school work there had been very suc cessful for Donald Curie, a prom inent Paramount scout, encourag ed her to take a screen test which she declined as she also declined attractive offers from outstanding modeling groups. After being pho tographed for Capital Airlines and for leading Washington newspap ers and modeling for outstanding department stores, she became Jellef’s Department Store model and assistant to the fashion co ordinator. During the summer of 1947 she accepted the position of Fashion Coordinator and Model with Bon Marche in Asheville, where she is now employed. Her friendliness and simplicity, along with her high cultural in terests, would be assets to any woman. Although she has risen rapidly in her field of endeavor, she realizes a debt of gratitude to her friends and acquaintances of western North Carolina, and has returned to share her accom plishments with them. Any com munity should be proud of such a citizen. ‘SAY IT WITH FLOWERS” FROM ALLISON’S Flower Shop Flower Phone 2197 22 College Street Asheville ... North Carolina G-I Class Chooses Sponsors Every Cl was thrown into dark ness and confusion during the class meeting held between sup pers Monday night. The lights went out! Swelling thunders of exclaiming voices were quieted by the calm voice of their presi dent, Spencer Thornton. Order reigned, and the election pro ceeded as flashlights were wield ed by Martha Maxwell, secretary, and Bettye Roberts, treasurer. Enthusiastic yells raised the roof as Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Mc Leod were elected freshmen spon sors. Lee Rhodes, vice-president, was sent to call to see if they would accept. When Rhodes re turned looking downcast, every one supposed that there was some conflict. It was a relief to find that they were only away from home. Mr. and Mrs. “Mac” are supremely worthy of the confi dence and trust placed in them. They are native South Carolin ians, but Mars Hill has claimed them as its own for twenty-four years. Nominations of the beauties who will form the May Queen’s Court were made. They will be voted upon later to determine the five most gorgeous ones. The nominations are: Netta Sue Cau dill, Virginia Rogers, Bettye Ro berts, Peggy Wingate, Virginia Cox, Ruth Lineberry, Maclyn Mackie, Norma Lee Coleman, Janice Aiken, Robbye Morgan, Evelyn Coker, Lucy Pickett, and Martha Maxwell. BkUt! Mystery! Excitement! What’s all this secrecy, all this scurrying about? Why are the Eus seen in small groups whispering and ges turing? Why is a Clio mercilessly snatched from a group of chat tering girls and dragged to a de signated rendezvous? Why is Phil Weeks in Stroup and Edna Moore parlors nearly every other after noon? Why are the Non officers carrying bags under their eyes in stead of in their hands? You’ve guessed it—plans for anniversaries and receptions are in the making. With Euthalian an- niversasary less than a week a- way, closely followed by Non pareil reception, excitement reach es its peak! All committees have been busy for weeks, and each officer and member has his heart, mind, and soul in the success of his program. Planning, replanning, checking, rechecking, last minute details, etc., compose the activi ties of most of the students in society. Ask any society member and he will exclaim, “Expect the greatest and best of all this year.'” IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR BOOKS .
