The lights dimmed. A hush fell over the audience. The curtain
parted, and Mars Hillians traveled to the -world of jolly old England
at the turn of the century. Through the magic of acting, make-up,
and scenery, students of 1956 became the members of a household of
half a century ago as the Dramateers presented James Barries The
Admirable Crichton. • u • i i

with its proposed project in the

things Mars Hill College_ is
“reaching forth unto those things
which are before.”

The fastidious young Lord

of Philip Slusser who faithfully
portrayed his role as a mamma s

domineering mother was Sandra

have gone on.
Canada is not inhabited at all.
Canadians observe Victoria Day,
which is a school holiday. Thanks
giving is a month earlier than here
in the United States.
All magazines, records, music,
and other literary things are im
ported from the United States.
The two top sports in Canada
are football, the number one, and
ice hockey. Football is somewhat
different. First of all, it is much
rougher. There are only three
downs and the field is 110 yards.
Touchdowns count five points in
stead of six.
As far as the social life goes,
there are many dances to attend
besides the football and hockey
games. They have no night clubs
but there is dancing in public
places. Another outstanding social
aspect is that the girls ask the boys
for the dates.
Mrs. Yashou Onishi, a native
of Japan, was guest speaker at the
general meeting of the Young
Women’s Auxiliary, held last Fri
day night in the parlor of Stroup
Dormitory.
Mrs. Onishi presented the his
torical religions of Japan and dis
cussed the beginnings of Chris
tianity in that country. She then
gave a picture of conditions in
Japan today. Her husband illus
trated the present mission work by
giving his own personal testimony.
Decorations of Japanese lan
terns, dolls, and other curios were
furnished by Sherria Mashburn,
who has lived in Japan, Nina Faye
Kirk and others. A touch of Japa
nese culture was added with an
explanation of the Japanese man
ner of sitting and the correct way
to use chopsticks.
