THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, N. C.
Nov. IIJ
N
Was This Your Experience?
Never will I forget the day I first entered the great metropolis of
Mars Hill. My heart was in my mouth as I turned the corner to enter
the school and it slid in a slow thump when I caught glimpse of River-
mont.
My first thought was to turn
around and walk the other way,
but I checked that impulse. As I
traveled over the ground, I found
that the college was really attrac
tive. I especially liked the location
of the girls’ dorms upon the hill.
Little did I know how much
strength it would take to climb
that hill seven or eight or nine
times a day.
My first two weeks were an
experience that no one could af
ford to miss. I remember well the
day I went to register. They
handed me a card, gave me a
shove, and I was off. I really
thought I was "“off” before I was
through. Then as I glanced at my
card I saw the letter “W” before
one room number and I asked an
intelligent looking student beside
me just what that letter stood for.
She looked at me with a smile and
said, “walk!”
“Walk?” I exclaimed. But it
didn’t take me long to realize that
the girl was more than correct be
cause my classes in Wall have
proved to be one long hiking trip.
Of course, a place had been re
served on my card for Chapel, and
one helpful individual hasten to
explain that C-I’s are required to
attend Chapel every day and Sun
day School on Sundays. Saturday
came and I rushed to chapel and
found my seat. A girl was playing
at the organ, and I sat there for
ten minutes thinking that every
one was late today for some
reason. The girl finally turned and
asked me why I was sitting there.
When I told he she burst into a
big giggle and explained the mis
take to me. I retreated to the dorm
with a red face.
But the worst was yet to come.
I hurried to the cafeteria for my
dinner. After standing in line for
thirty minutes, I finally reached
the table and was about to pick
up my tray when a big boy walked
up to me and said, “What do you
think you are doing?”
“Why I’m getting my tray, I

They say that ignorance will
“out,” and it certainly did when I
went to put my tray on the rack.
Not knowing what the trayveyor
was for or how it worked, I just
put my dishes down the shaft.
When I heard them crash below, I
began to think that maybe I had
done something wrong. Mr. Martin
came rush'ng over toward me, and
when I told him my story, he was
only too glad to explain to me
how the dishes were carried down.
It took me some time to acquire
the skill that it takes to catch one
of those hooks.
But now I am well established
at Mars Hill, I have no more
trouble with helpful CH’s schedul
es or trayveyors. In fact, I have
learned so fast that many think
that I am a CII. I think that I
speak for the Cl class when I say,
“You’d better watch out, upper
classmen. We’re wised up and on
our toes.”
—Earline Collier.
Wisdom consisteth not in
knowing many things, nor even in
knowing them thoroughly; but in
choosing and in following what
conduces the most certainly to our
lasting happiness and true glory.
—Landor.

stammered, “I’m getting my tray.”
"Well, I’m sorry,” he spoke up,
“You’ll have to let me go first.
You’re supposed to let all CII’s
eat first.”
“Oh! I mumbled, “I didn’t
know.” He left me standing there
for a moment and when he re
turned there was a long line of
people following him. Before I
knew what was happening I found
myself once more at the door with
no food. And every time I got in
line for the next few days I always
found myself eating with the last
group. This situation, however, was
remedied near the end of the two
weeks. It seems that my meal
ticket had not quite run out. This
could be because of the fact that
I never had time to eat a whole
meal. Not only was I allowed to go
first in line, but I had more com
panions to eat with. This sudden
popularity was something that I
had not counted on, but many
disllusioned girls were sympathiz
ing with me the following week.

Meeting
Mars Hill Art Club members

ding. After a devotional by Eliza
beth Bridges, a program was pre
sented by Nancy McCracken, Jean

'discussed concerning a forthcom
ing trip of the art students to visit
the Biltmore Estate and the home
of Dr. Charles Norburn, owner of
a number of originals.
Works of the students for the
past month were displayed during
the meeting, and the two most out
standing pictures were chosen by
the students for the monthly
awards of first and second prizes.
The pictures were “The Head of
Christ,” by Elizabeth Bridges, and
“Smokehouse,” by Jean Lambert.
Last month’s winners were a
floral composition by Lamar Brig
man and a scene by Jean Hamrick.
Officers for this term are Lamar
Brigman, president; Nancy Mc
Cracken, vice president; Jean
Hamrick, secretary and historian.
All students, whether or not
they take art, are welcome to join

meeting.
You can always get the best of
any argument by not taking part
in it. —Cochran.
Home Economics students study
ing home preparations of foods
have agreed on the following re
ceipt.
“How To Cook Husbands:” A
good many husbands are spoiled
by mismanagement in cooking, and
so are not tender. Some women
act as if their husbands were blad
ders, and they blow them up. Many
keep them constantly in hot water,
in a stew, or in the roasting pan.
In selecting your husband, you
should not be guided by his silvery
appearance as in buying a macke
rel. Be sure to select him your
self acording to your own tastes.
Do not go to the market for him;
the best is always brought to the
door.
