The members of the association
also saw displays of all the latest

Methodist Students
Elect Officers
Newly-elected officers of the
Methodist Student Movement on
the campus are as follows: Presi
dent, Harold Clark; vice-presi
dent, Howard Smith; worship
chairman, Dorothy Spahr; secre
tary-treasurer, Peggy Ingle; re
porter, Laura Skinner; recreation
chairman, Doris Brinson.
The monthly meeting of the
Methodist students was held De
cember 3, with Dorothy Spahr
bringing the opening devotional
thought. Tryouts for the play, “No
Room In A Hotel,” followed the
business meeting. This play is to
be given in the Baptist Training
Union on December 14.
After tryouts, the group enjoy
ed singing Christmas carols to
gether. Ice cream was served as
refre.shments. Harold Clark closed
the meeting with the league bene
diction.
Mr. Huff urges that all CII’s
come into the Registrar’s Office
before leaving for Christmas
holidays and check their cre
dits. It is important that every
person expecting to graduate
do this in order that he may
know what credits he lacks
and for what courses he should
register in spring semester.
The college auditorium has rec
ently undergone a much-needed
and thorough renovation. A new
coat of paint inside was the first
in a series of improvements. The
s'age was slightly remodeled and
then was re-decorated with a gold
cyclorama and drops. The front
curtain is of blue velvet. Adjust
able drapes at the window make
it possible to darken the audi
torium when need, arises.
Sizemore Gives
Chalk Talk
Warner Sizemore, “chalk artist”
and teacher at Ben Lippen Boys’
School, Asheville, presented an in
teresting “chalk talk” last Sunday
evening, December 7, in the col
lege auditorium during the reg
ular Training Union hour. The
theme of th^ talk was “Sunrise
Tomorrow.” During the perform
ance, solos were sung by Martha
Maxwell and Clarice Collier.
New equipment which has been
purchased consists of screen,
projectors and sound system.
Machines which were in the audi
torium had served their purpose
well, but they were becoming
worn and outmoded. Th.e new
machines are the best and most
modern which the International
Projector Corporation makes. The
recent pictures shown since their
installation proved their excel
lence.
Except for the fact that the
auditorium is too small to seat
more than three-fourths of the
student body and faculty it is now
in quite satisfactory condition.
Tomorrow evening, December
14, at 6:40, the Methodist stu
dents under the direction of Miss
Jean Starnes will present a play,
“No Room In The Hotel,” in the
college auditorium for the mem
bers of the Baptist Training
Union. The members of the cast
are as follows: Sue Xing, Frank
Goslen, Gib A’ustin, Howard
Smith, Sarah Skinner, Peggy
Ingle, Howard Clark, Dorothy
Spahr, George May, and Dottie
Brinson.
Bell Elected
National Chaplain
The regular meeting time for
this organization will be the
fourth Tuesday of each month.
310 Students Receive
BTU Rewards
C. Roger Bell, of Fort Worth,
Tex., has recently been unani
mously elected National Chaplain
of the American Veterans of
World War II, according to an ar
ticle in the December 3 edition of
The Biblical Recorder. Mr. Bell,
a 1939 graduate of Mars Hill, is
also a graduate of Wake Forest
College. He is the first Protestant
and Baptist to be elected to this
post.
College Expenses
Increased
The administration of the col
lege has announced in the forth
coming issue of “Tile Quarterly”
that because of high costs of food
and labor the charges for board
will be increased $10.00 for the
next semester, or approximately
fifty cents a week per person.
The administration has an
nounced also that after the first
of the year the college will be
forced to discontinue providing
free entertainment for alumni
and parents. Such guests will be
provided meals at current rates,
and those entertained in students’
rooms will pay fifty cents a night.
This action is also necessitated by
advanced costs in food and main
tenance. Other guests than alumni
and parents of students will be
entertained at the rates printed in
the catalog.
Those responsible for the oper
ation of the college financially
have pointed out that expenses at
Mars Hill are relatively low for
colleges of its rank and have ex
pressed the hope that the practice
of free entertainment of guests,
who are always welcome on the
campus, may be resumed when
conditions have become normal.
Mrs. Minnie Reddish, of Morg-
anton, has announced that she will
furnish the parlor of Huffman
Dormitory and has made a liberal
donation for the immediate pur
chase of furniture.
A committee composed of Dr.
Blackwell, Mrs. Moore, Dean Dig
gers, Miss Snelson, and Mr. Mc
Leod visited Mrs. Reddish at her
home Thursday, December 4, and
’.aid before her plans for furnish
ing the parlors and returned by
way of Asheville and placed an
order for a part of the furniture.
A committee appointed by Presi
dent Blackwell had previously met
and after consultation with Miss
Bess McConnell, an interior dec
orator of Asheville, and Mr. Grady
Morrison, of the Morrison Furni
ture Company of Asheville, had
decided on the furnishings desired.
The furniture is to be both durable
and attractive, in keeping with
the wishes of Mrs. Reddish. The
pieces ordered include four sofas
and three love-seats in genuine
leather and tables of solid Hon
duras mahogany. The committee
in charge of furnishing the par
lors are: Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Howell,
Miss Diggers, Miss Snelson, Miss
Ruth, Mr. Tilson, and Mr. McLeod.
Mrs. Reddish is the sister of
Mr. Robert 0. Huffman, a member
of the board of trustees, for whom
the dormitory is named.
