TO EACH HIS OWN “I don’t have time to do it. Ask someone else.” Passing the buck is a typical characteristic of the high school student He is far too busy with superfluous ac tivities to do the things that really count in life. This would not be so fatal a fault if such habits did not persist long after school days have passed. The business and professional world has no room for the duty-dodger. Such an employee would be more of a liability than an asset The practice of evading the responsibilities of school life tends to detract from the popularity of a student. No one likes a person who cannot be depended upon to do his own work. The person who passes the buck leaves extra work for someone else. iSo if you want to be popular in school and a success in life, remember, “to each his own” work .-^nd let each do his own—^not yours. —The Ronoko, Roanoke Rapids. Three Busy Days... Thursday started off just like any day when someone is making a trip. There was Nancy Craig rushing to Miss Riggers ten minutes before the bus was due because she had forgotten to get permission to go, and Jug Avant, carry two girls’ suitcases, was breaking the etiquette rules which he and Mr. Chapman, the two lone men, had made for themselves for the weekend since they felt so helpless among such a mob of females. Which reminds us of what Miss Ruth said to Mr. Chapman on seeing that he had five girls to chaperone on the Greensboro trip: “Now don’t you wish you weren’t married?” The trip to Greensboro was lots of fun for the delegates to the press convention. Wanda Taylor espec ially enjoyed the bus ride to Asheville, for there was “the cutest driver!” When the group had finally arrived at the Woman’s College, had registered and located the dorms where they were to stay, they started preparing for the evening conferences. The next morning was taken up with discussions also—with our Mars Hillians learning about everything from editorials to how to get a date for the luncheon which followed. In the afternoon the group separated, some shopping, others visiting friends. Later, however, the majority of our representatives and some of their friends met and feasted on chop suey and chow mein at the Lotus in town, after which they enjoyed a movie. But that wasn’t the end of the evening, for the high spot came when Miss Irene Glass, Dean Lee’s former secretary, had the group drop by her apartment at WC for cokes and a grand time looking over annuals, talking with former Mars Hillians, and laughing. (Just ask any of those who went why they were laughing; if they don’t get hysterical again, you might possibly get an answer!) The Saturday morning session concluded the conference. At that time officers for next year were elected and other business was enacted. The group had enjoyed those three days so much they didn’t want to return; so two went home, two to Wake Forest, and one remained in Greensboro with a friend for the weekend. There were two more, though, you jjay—^well, its like this—Nancy felt that she should return to Mars Hill to study and Mr. Chapman—well—maybe he’d had enough of those girls. Anyway, he had a big box of flowers, and he surely wasn’t planning to wear them himself to the Junior-Senior! Most Successful Leader Is Spiritual, Prayerful, Faithful. Teuacious to Task One of the most inspiring addresses heard by BSU Council members at the recent retreat in Greensboro challenged college students to exhibit worthy Christian leader^ip. These are some of the thoughts which the speaker set forth. First and foremost, Jesus is alive. He is alive by the power of God and waits to lead us into leadership. It has been said many times that there is a place in the world for every creature. Yes, God gives each of us a unique task, and in that task we are leaders. But what sort of leader? The most successful leader is a spiritual one, no matter what the task, and a spiritual leader is one whose natural powers have been transformed by the hand of God. If we of Mars Hill College are to be leaders, our leadership must be rooted in our own salvation, else we are un fruitful. Let us always be mindful of our own ex perience with Christ and then confirm our own salvation by witnessing. Making the opportunities to witness is most important. God may give them to us, but we must make time to take advantage of them. Until we begin to witness, our salvation is as an apple tree without the apples. Donald Cargill said in his hour of excution: “I have gotten me Christ, and Christ hath gotten me the victory.” The first requirement then for spiritual leader ship is a constant refreshment of the experience of salva tion through witnessing. The second requirement is constant prayer. A college campus is in itself a mission field wiith much confusion. The responsibilities of such a place are much too heavy without the supporting shoulder of Christ, for we are not meant to bear our burdens alone. A third requirement is the keeping alive of our faith in God’s power to trans form lives, in a hurry if need be. That Christ is our Saviour needs no proof; it is self- evident in our inmost soul and requires only a witness of courage and power. The original Christian enthusiasm flowed from a reality, and that reality exists today be cause Jesus is alive. He, today, just as when he was a man on earth, can enter and transform a life that puts itself in his hands. The fourth essential requisite of a true leader is tenacity. The story is told of a small drummer boy who was ordered by an officer to beat a retreat. His simple answer came, “My master never taught me to beat a retreat.” Instead he sounded the loudest “forward march” ever heard on that field, and his army won the victory. This quality of tenacity is indeed essential, and we may receive it by forever remembering that the Lord is risen! Jesus is alive. —Jeannie Lynn, Guest Editor. MA This Be Too, dr Are We Kidding? Write in your Laurel? Of course I will. “Dear—” (uh—jeepers—her name! What’s her name? I’ll play safe and say—) “Colleague, will you ever for get” (forget what? I can’t remember anything we’ve done to forget—^Hmmm) “the wonderful times we’ve had this year—” (oh, yes, now I remember her—she’s the one that dated my favorite S. P. last Saturday night I bet she had a wonderful time, doggone it) “It’s been nice—” (boy, what a lie) living in the same dormitory with you—” (hey, I sure hope she lives in Edna Moore) “You have a wonderful—” (how do you spell it?) “per- sonelaty. No wonder everyfbody likes you so much—” (everybody except me, that it) “I’ll never forget—” (Oh, oh, there’s that forget again. But there’s lots of things I’ll never forget) “your sweet ways—” (especi ally around my S. P.) “or your gracious smile—” (that is, your vicious leer) “as long as I live—” (if I happen to die tomorrow). “Love Always—” (No—I can’t do it; I’ll just cross all this out—there, now I’ll do it the right way). Dear Stinky, Thank goodness there’s less than a month before school is out. I don’t think I could have stood living around you any longer. In the first place you stole my S. P. right out from under my nose and in the second place I just plain don’t like you. So there. Now kindly take your book away and never darken my doorway again. Goodbye. AH SPRING!
