Page Four THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. C. Nov. 26. Ulee ( Think People Are Funny? Look Into Cafeteria People are funny, and the students who eat in the Mars Hill College cafeteria are even funnier. In fact, what could be more amusing than a ^oup of somnolent students dragging into the dining hall in the wee hours of the morning, 6:30 to be exact? Standing behind the serving line each morning, one learns more about human nature than anyone could in Pop Stringfield’s Psy chology or Sociology classes. Come stand there with me during a typical breakfast hour and see for yourself. she thinks it’s good) but doesn’t care for any of our eggs. It seems she’s allergic to them anyway. First of all we see the boy who comes in sleepily, dropping his tray on the rack and mumbling something about wanting scrambl ed sausages and a cup of hot com flakes. Obviously this poor thing isn’t all awake yet. The fun really begins at seven, when the line is open to the entire student body. Then come the ‘characters’ that make the server’s life interesting. Violently contrasting with this slumbering species is the farmer boy next to him. He’s probably been up since four o’clock, and half his day is already behind him. “Good morning, good morning, good morning!’’ he grins, ordering eggs both ways, bacon and sausage,, and three kinds of cereal. That’s the kind we love, the enthusiastic, eager type—a credit to dear old Mars Hill, even at six thirty. For instance^ what could be more hilarious than the fellow who thinks you don’t know that he thinks he’s getting an extra big piece of sausage just for that Ipana smile he flashes your way, or the hollow-eyed character who stands hopefully by the cashier trying to attract stray meal tickets with a few cents left on them. There’s always the table-hopping Romeo, who flits from group to group, smiling engagingly, trying to borrow any meal ticket he might find. Just as we’re feeling grand we look up, horrified, to see a gray faced girl who hasn’t opened her eyes yet, with a frown on her face sour enough to dilute the highest of spirits into a good case of the blues. i “Good morning,’’ we chirp, “and what for you?’’ After we stand there expectantly for about three minutes she does get something mumbled about morning (we hope Hardly so amusing is the three hundred pound football player type, who stamps demandingly in,, waiting expectantly for the largest piece of sausage, the most gen erous scoop of eggs, and the hot test cup of coffee. His priority seldom rates high with the servers, however,, judging from the sparing servings he usually gets. When The Occaeion Calls For Flowers Consult Our Agent MRS. E. C. COATES Mars Hill, N. C. Middlemount Flower Shop Asheville North Caroltaa The type that tops them all, is the “err, let me see, I want—-no I don’t—yes I do—’’ type. Usually of the fair sex, she minces thru the line exchanging her scrambled eggs fo.r fried, her tomato juice for orange, her doughnut for a cinnamon bun, and her coffee with cream for coffee without cream. Obviously, such characters are rare, or the line would never get where it’s going. Yes, working in the cafeteria has proven very enlightening as to the peculiar streaks in classmates and friends. I only hope that it doesn’t fall my lot to make it a profession. WE PROUDLY PRESENT MOJUD The Dependable Hosiery And Slips VISIT COX’S DEPT.
