This anthology is a compilation of the finest poetry written by the college men and women of Ameri ca, representing every state in the country.

He is at present continuing his education at the University of North Carolina. Don R. Jackson of Raleigh, is a CII at Mars Hill and has been particularly outstanding in drama tic presentations here this se mester. Those who know “Don” well are familiar with his numer ous poems covering a very exten sive selection of subjects. Copies of these two poems are quoted elsewhere in this edition of the paper. MHC OBSERVES MISSIOIV WEEK On Mars Hill college campus the week of January 12-16 was Mis sion Study Week. The Young Women’s Auxiliary brought to the college two missionaries from foreign fields: Miss Pearl Todd, known as the “little missionary,” who spent twenty years in Chefoo, China, and Miss Estelle Council man, a former Mars Hill student, now on furlough from South America. The visitors spoke each day at chapel assemblies, conduc ted vespers and prayer services, and held conferences with indi vidual students. Miss Todd also went to Barnardsville to address the W. M. S. there. Miss Todd, is originally from Valdosta, Georgia. She attended Bessie Tift College and graduated from the Baptist Training School in Louisville, Kentucky. Arrival In China In 1922 she sailed for China where she studied one year in Pe king. Afterwards she went to Che foo, American naval base in China, and became the principal of a Chinese school there. This position afforded her the opportunity of doing both educational and evan gelistic work with the young people of Chefoo. The work pro gressed until January 1938, when the Japanese took Chefoo. For four years the school continued under the supervision of the Japanese army. It is interesting to know that a Sunbeam Band in ted the fund which led to the establishment of Miss Todd’s school. In Miss Todd’s messages to the students she told many interesting custo-ms of the Chinese. Among these is the question they always ask. She said it is an honor to be asked, “And what is your great and honorable age?” Her answer was, “And in China — I always tell them.” Miss Todd came back to the States on the first return voyage of the Gripsholm. She arrived at her home in Valdosta in August 1942. Now she is impatiently a- waiting the Foreign Mission Board’s orders to return to China, her work, and the people who have become her awn. Miss Councilman attended Mars Hill College 1936-38. From here she went to . Carson-Newman, graduating from there in 1940. In 1941, Miss Councilman entered Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, where she prepared herself further for her life’s work. During the summers. Miss Councilman worked for the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina doing summer work. Work In Paraguay After Miss Councilman went to Argentina in 1943, she spent a year studying the language. She remained in Argentina for two and one-half years. Prom Argen tina, Miss Councilman went to Paraguay, Where she remained for two years. She helped start the work in Paraguay, and after see ing the need there, she started a Baptist Book Store and Center. The name of the book store is “El Faro,” the lighthouse. It is the only evangelical book store in Paraguay and serves all evangeli cal denominations with supplies. The Baptist Publishing House in Argentina furnishes this store with books and supplies. Because the store also carries school supplies and other materials, many con tacts are made that would not otherwise be made. Tracts and pamphlets are given out to all who visit the store. The Baptist Center, which is a part of the book store, has a lending library, magazines, and a reading table. Many profes sional people who come in to read the North American magazines have through this reading had their eyes opened to the need of religious freedom. Visual Education At the Center, classes in English are taught; conversation is carried on with those taking English; children are taught; and visual education is helping to reach many people. Evangelistic services are held in connection with projected strip films and slides, and the pastor of the church explains the pictures as they are shown. These are only a few of the things that Miss Councilman helps with in her work on the field. She left Argentina December 10, and will remain in the United States for one year on furlough. Honor Clubs Elect Officers As a new semester hid just around the corner, many of the honor clubs held their first meet ing of the new year last week with the election of officers serv ing as the main topic of business for several of the clubs. Members of the Business Club presented a program on the topic, “Wanted: Good Office Workers.” Those taking part on the program were Wayne Finger, Bill Martin, Mary Marshall, Jean Thomason, and Bill Dunn. After the business meeting, a short social period was held in Huffman parlor. After a program on the theme, “Turn Over A New Leaf,” in which original stories and poems were read by some of the members of the Scriblerus Club, the follow ing officers were elected: presi dent, Everett Kivette; vice-presi dent, Betty Pringle; and secre tary-treasurer, Mahala Cochran. At the meeting of the Spanish Club, Miss Councilman, a mission ary to Paraguay, spoke on the customs of Paraguayans and show ed the club many interesting ex amples of the art and craft of the natives of Paraguay. The new officers for the Spanish Club are: president, Paul Campbell; vice- president, Doris Barnett; secre tary, A. C. Snow; treasurer, Jean Daughtridge; and critic, Jose Alv arez.

For the past three years there has been among the dwellers on the “Hill” one who has apparently become fixed in the love of stu dents and faculty, and who, or so it appeared, would always and for aye remain as familiar and as necessary on Mars Hill campus as the unclaimed books adorning Spilman porch. But alas! All this was only a fantasy, only a dream. Not even the discovery of a hot plate or the silence of a dormitory room buzzer could sadden an indi- ■vidual to as great a degree as this unspeakable loss which the whole campus faces at the end of this first semester—the pass ing of Rollins: and it’s about time! Our consolation comes from D. T.: like the poor, him we have with us always.
