The installation program, pre
ceded by the buffet supper, was
presented b y candlelight. Miss
Mary Frances Silver, retiring
president, presided. On either side
of her were the new officers who
stood opposite the retiring offic
ers.
Miss Silver told of the Betty
Lamp symbol and the ideals which
it represented; simplicity, useful
ness, cleanliness and economy.
Each new officer was given her
responsibility, after which all re
peated the Home Economics col
lege pledge; “I pledge my loyalty
to the Mars Hill Home Economics
club. I promise to uphold its aims
and ideals and to serve to the best
of my ability in my college, my
home, and my community as
extends from my own neighbor
hood to the whole world.”
With this pledge the simple but
meaningful ceremony was closed.
Plans for the coming semester
have been partially laid out. A
spring fashion show, showing the
latest wearing apparel, will be pre
sented in early spring. In the late
spring open house is to be held.
Miss Home Economics, the
young woman whom the whole de
partment thinks lives up to the
ideals of a home economist, will be
chosen and announced at the ann
ual Home Economics Recognition
program.

G-I Hilltop
Coming Up
There is an opportunity waiting
for you, C-I’s, at the very first of
the forthcoming semester—an op
portunity for you to show your
interest in and flare for newspaper
writing and management. The
Felbruary 10 edition is all yours!
If you are the “bloodhound”
type—if you have a “nose for
news,” and a love for journalism
that will not fade when it comes to
burning midnight oil, then here is
your chance to lay a foundation
for anticipations of the future,
and an opportunity to discover the
real thrill of journalism.
Get in on the machinery behind
the front page. Help put a news
paper together. Experience the
familiar, but ever new excitement
of “last minute” doings — the
thousand and one little details that
must be completed before the
paper goes to press. Enjoy the
inexplicable joy of seeing the fin
ished masterpiece circulated to all
its readers.
Come down to The Hilltop of
fice, room 13 in Spilman Annex.
