To You, The €-1 Class
To you, the members of the C-II Class, we pay humble tribute, for
the loving Christian spirit of Mars Hill campus which you have ex

For every smile that brightens a grey sky; for every hearty hand
shake that dries a hidden tear; for every sincere word of encourage
ment; and for every unutlered “tie that binds,” we graciously express
a simple “thank you.”
Because of your tireless efforts in every phase of campus life, you
have presented to us an unspoken, unwritten challenge. With the
same humility of heart and sincerity of purpose, we, the C-I Class,
meekly accept this challenge to exemplify the ideals passed down to
us by you and all former Mars Hlllians.
Our deepest desire is that those who follow us will realize the same
lofty ideals and strive to attain even higher goals.
