The highlight for the Thanksgiving afternoon program on the ath
letic field was the crowning of the three queens. The queens included
Mrs. Nona Moore Roberts, the centennial queen; Mrs. Anne Robinson,
the homecoming queen; and Miss Lucia Holder, the football queen.
Mrs. Roberts is the daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. R. L. Aloore,
who served the college faithfully for more than 50 years. “Miss Nona,

Art Majors
Show Work
The art department is showing
a selection of the first drawings
and sketches of the art students
for this semester. The heterogen
ous exhibit features art in two
fields. These two fields of art
are still life with a piece of drift
wood, lantern, card, or bottle;
and figure studies, the basic study
of the human figure.
There are approximately 11 art
in Knoxville, Tenn.
After his address the traditional
offering for the Mills Home, our

“Huffman Beach,” long a fa
vorite sunbathing spot for the las
sies on Mars Hill College Campus
will have many new attractions
when the 1956 Spring season
opens. Plans for a girls’ recrea
tional area are being formulated
with the aim of providing an or
ganized playground for the girls
physical education program. Here
tofore, the classes have been scat
tered from one end of the campus
to the other with the softball,
archery, and volleyball classes
meeting on the athletic field, the
“bad weather” classes meeting in
the gymnasium, and the tennis
classes hiking over to the courts
behind the men’s dormitories. The
time consumed in getting dressed
and going to the field almost cuts
playing time in half, especially
when the student has classes be
fore and after each “play period.”
Landscaping is underway for
four standard-size tennis courts
and the rock walls separating them
have been erected. Other features
will include facilities for two vol
leyball courts, two badminton
courts, and two softball diamonds.
The casual observer can discern
the layout for the playground
from the preliminary work. Mr.
Tilson is directing the installation
of the proper draining system, and
upon completion of the project,
grass will be sown over the entire
field.
The proximity of the playground
to three of the girls’ dormitories
will be an asset to the physical
education program in many ways.
“But where,” one asks, “will the
sun bathers go?” The answer is
simple, for the sun will still
shine on Huffman Beach” and
sunbathers can have “oodles” of
fun as they blister next March.
