Page Four THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. C. Sept. 25.1948 150 TO WORK IN GLEE CLUB (Continued from Page 1) The choral choirs, under the di rection of Mr. Elwood Roberts, will be made up of two choirs, the Women’s Choral Choir and the Men’s Choral Choir. Each choir will sing about once a month. They will constitute the larger part of the college’s choral activities. The Glee Club and the Choral Choirs will combine to present a Christmas program which will in clude several numbers from Han del’s MESSIAH. The students and faculty of Mars Hill college take great de light in welcoming Mrs. Elizabeth Logan Souther back into their midst this year. Mrs. Souther, a gp-aduate of Limestone College, was a member of the Mars Hill faculty in the Music Department during the years 1944-47. In 1944- 48 she was absent on leave com pleting the requirements for a master’s degree at Columbia Uni versity. She has now resumed her duties as teacher of voice and di rector of the Glee Club. Sooietif NOTES INSTRUCTORS JOIN FACULTY (Continued from Page 1) son has completed two years’ work at William and Mary. Mr. James S. Pickering, of Cope, S. C., a graduate of Mars Hill College and of the University of South Carolina, is our Assis tant Librarian this fall. Before going into the armed services dur ing the war, he was a teacher in the Columbia public schools. This summer he received his B.S. de gree in library science from Emory University. Mr. Raymond L. Wyatt, of Salis bury, a graduate of Mars Hill Col lege in 1946 and of Wake Forest College in 1948, comes as an in structor in the Department of Bi ology. At Wake Forest, where he was an assistant in the Biology Department, he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Clios And Nons Stage Pajama Parties Have you been hearing the beat of a tom-tom or the gay music of a circus floating over the cam pus at night? If you have, don’t be alarmed, you’re not going crazy! It’s just those wonderful Nonpareils and Clios entertaining the new feminine half of the stu dent body. And being a C-I, I’m beginning to see that it has its ad vantages. The Indian theme was carried out in the Nonpareil entertain ment. Upon her arrival, each girl was presented a feathered head dress which made everyone think the other person looked sillier. (You’re right, fellas, we all looked silly.) The Pow Wow was brought to order by Big Chief Johnson (Beulah), who introduced us to some Spirits. These Spirits, which were the ideals of Nonpareil, were rudely interrupted by a scalping party. But they dragged away their victim, minus her wig, and the party went on. After a round of games and songs of which “You Call Everyone Paleface’’ was the most favored, we were served wolf-meat (hot dogs) and laughing water (lemonade). Favors found Excitement, tension, and friend ly rivalry have reigned supreme on Mars Hill campus since the opening of school, September 7. Both Clio-Phi and Non-Eu Lit erary Societies participated in a hearty welcome program for the C-I’s. Blue and white Phi arm- bands and Clio “Welcome” pins were found in every niche and corner of the campus. Not to be outdone, and equally as prevalent, were the black and gold armbands and pins sported by the Non-Eus. Welcome signs of both societies were placed over the entrance to the campus, and posters were everywhere. A lighted Clio-Phi emblem has been donated by Phi Bob Scalf and placed on the balcony of Spil- man Dormitory. C-II Clio and Phi business meetings were held in the Friendship Hall on September 9 and 10, respectively, for the pur pose of planning this semester’s work. Highlights of the welcome pro grams of the Nons and Clios were the pajama parties held on the nights of Sept. 13 and 14; also impressive were the meetings on Thursday, Sept. 16. On Friday night. Sept. 17, Euthalia and Philo- mathia had meetings which were attended by the C-I boys who caught a glimpse of the ideals of dignity, simplicity, conservatism, and truth, purity, fidelity. Again Registration Well, chillun, registration has rolled around again here at dear ole Mars Hill, and with it a whole gang of us green, inexperienced, (Yes, we know it!) clumsy C-I’s and you sophisticated, world- weary, happy-go-lucky C-II’s. And speaking of registration, I got am bitious and went a-canvassin’ to find out what “you all” think about it. And that’s just where I landed—on the canvas! However, after bravely facing about a million “Hub’s”, three pillows, the contents of a waste basket, and one dill pickle, I managed to strangle a few syllables from some kind souls (which accounts for this murdered effect!) My first victim affirmed that words simply could not express what she thought about registra tion (more truth than poetry), while another brilliant young thing stopped soaking her feet long enough to groan that it would have been heavenly if she had only had a chair and cushion to drag around with her to save the wear and tear on the strollers! The next sweet innocent is planning to en dow a fund for cokes and ham burgers, because she got homesick while standing in line! A few oth er catty remarks concerning said subject resembled “headache”, “expensive”, and “Why did it have to be at the bottom of the hill?” But all in all, we C-I’s thought that the system of registration was very efficient and that it wasn’t really so bad, for one “kinda knew what one was do ing,” even if one did find one’s self in the Skeleton Closet instead of the Copying Room. The C-II’s, you lucky people. When The Occasion Calls For Flowers Consult Our Agent MRS. E. C. COATES Mars Hill, N. C. Middlemount Flower Shop Asheville North Carolina Let Us Be Your Barbers!

Then as a climax to the evening, our braves romantically serenaded us, and we were duly tucked in bed at a reasonable (?) hour. The Clios used the motif of the circus in their entertainment; and that side-show barker, B. Priest, started the ball rolling with some get-acquainted games. She was soon crowded out, however, by the fat lady and thin man who led some more songs. Many celebrities tickled the crowd’s funny bone. Some of these were Snappy Krockle, the Pop Corn man, and Madame Ona Blue Bean, who envisioned the Clio ideals in her crystal ball. Rating tops on the entertain ment list was the music by the Phis, who, even in their night caps, made our hearts flutter as they sang “Sleep Kentucky Babe.” But soon, as all good things must, the fun came to an end, and we trudged upstairs to sleep and to dream “they are so wonderful —^which, oh which, will I join?” indicated that registration this year was definitely more civilized than as of old—no mad scrambles, no broken bones! One enthusiastic Senior, when cornered, gushed that it was simply grand, that she had to stand in only five lines one day and three the next! Two other cute p.c.’s, upon question (and threaten), remarked that the main wonder of registration’s new look was the fact that the faculty’s lovely Colgate welcome smiles didn’t have to be propped up this year—especially the people’s that took your money! BSU LAUNCHES YEAR (Continued from Page 1) Turner, Y. T. C. president; Tom Tobey, music director; Ben Phil- beck, Sunday School superinten dent; P. C. Keener, Brotherhood president; Betty Mayhugh, record ing secretary; Janice Aiken, corre sponding secretary; Brevard Brown, treasurer; Kenneth Rus sell, ministerial conference repre sentative; and David Ward, who was recently elected to fill the po sition of Training Union director. The 1948-49 Baptist Student Union program at Mars Hill Col lege began with the annual B. S. U. Get - Acquainted Reception, Saturday evening, September 11, 1948, at 8 o’clock. Janet Harris, social vice-president, was in charge of the program. Games, under the direction of Betty Priest, were played in the Edna Moore Court. Immediately following them, the main attrac tion began in the college audi torium. The theme for the pro gram was magic produced out of the top-hat with Spencer Thorn ton as magician and master of ceremonies. Shirley Schellenberg, Doris Carter, Bob Savage and Weldon Word assisted the magi cian in producing the attractions from the top-hat. The first attraction was a series 'of magic tricks performed by Spencer Thornton. Then from the top-hat appeared the campus cut ups, Lewis Bolin and Bob Scalf, who presented a skit about campus life. Next came a trio singing, “I Want To Be Loved, But by Only You” and “Just Because.” Thelma Angell, Margaret Stewart and Geraldine Poole, all from Kan napolis, comprised the trio. Josie Kester was the next top- hat production, reciting a humor ous musical selection, “Adam Never Knew What Trouble Was.” The moral is, “back of every trouble there is a woman.” The top-hat produced Dick Haymes, Frank Sinatra and Vaughn Monroe all in one person. Bob Link did the impersonations. The last production from the top-hat was Martha Maxwell sing ing, “One Alone” and “Stars in Your Eyes.” Stage director for the program was Cecil Sloan, and his assistant was Dean Minton. Accompanists for the musicals were Netta Sue Caudill and Blenda Huneycutt, and background music was sup plied by Baxter Campbell.
