Have you been breaking branches off the budding spring flowers? Have you been walking across the grass? Well, if you can answer yes to these and similar questions, you are keeping Mr. Tilson pretty busy. Many of our students do not realize how much work it takes to keep our grounds in good condition, especially in the spring of the year. Each day something else has to be done in connection with the upkeep of the grounds. Shrubs have to be replaced, grass cut, and flowers looked after. Grass seed has to be replanted, and what grass we students haven’t trampled under foot has to be fertilized. This is only one phase of Mr. Tilson’s work. Each day he is being called to repair a broken chair, replace a wornout piece of furniture, or do some other small task that is forever requiring someone’s time. One probably says at this point, “Well, what does this have to do with me?’’ Students, this has a lot to do with you. It is up to each of us to do our part to keep Mars Hill campus beautiful. Now it is known as a college having one of the most beautiful campuses in the South. With the improvements that are being made, it should become known as the most beautiful junior college campus in the South. This job is going to take a lot of co-operation from all of us. Let’s remember not to cut those flowering shrubs which are just beginning to bloom, even if it is tempting to use some of the branches to decorate our rooms. Let’s be considerate of the small shoots of grass which are starting to appear as the days grow warmer. The result of our co-operation will be a more beautiful campus of which we can be jiroud. Senior College^ Next Step Doctor U lonunandments Students Fee k iid For Student Days Spring Spirit In Atmosphet If you have been thumbing through catalogs of various universities and four year colleges, if you have any intentions of continuing studies following your graduation here—then you should want to get acquainted with all the objectives of obtaining higher education. It has often been said that the future belongs to those who prepare for it. A few years ago the majority completed high school; the minority received a college education. Greater and greater increases in college and university enrollments show that the majority today is demanding to be college graduates. This means that competition among applicants for the positions of tomorrow will be on a higher intellectual basis. Some persons have the belief that tomorrow’s world will be a push button society” where little knowledge will be required save that needed for the operation of automatic mechanisms. Others are dis gusted at the thought of studies dealing with anatomy and science. Medical drugs, they feel, in the atomic age will cure all the world s ills and make present medical procedure outdated. There is fallacy in both attempts at analysis. Essential for either of the above conditions will be a sufficient quantity of well-trained scientists, research workers, lab technicians, engineers, and contractors. Advancement in particular fields can only be acquired by perpetually adding to the store house of knowledge. Just how much opportunity lies ahead for you who do push further on in your college careers? The June 15, 1956, issue of the U. S. News and World Report presented indications that the outlook for college graduates with professional training is the best in peacetime history. “Jobs compete for takers.” According to the article, the greatest possi bilities for growth lie in the fields of “medical care; most branches of science, economic research; teaching and engineering. In teaching: Prospects are the best on record. Salareis have jumped 8 per cent since 1953 in most cities and are headed upward. In en gineering: Demand strong for all types of engineers . . .” Need more be said? Wherever your interest lies, there is a corresponding need inviting you to prepare yourself and serve. 1. Thou shalt not be afraid; neither of visiting team members during Religious Focus W^eek, nor of the Board of Trustees, nor of anything that is in the Heavens above or the Earth beneath or the Waters under the earth — caring neither for a lazy, casual, hit-or-miss student life nor for public praise, but only for sound and thorough learning that will enable you to do useful Christian service in whatever business or profession that )'ou undertake. Thou shalt not make unto — 2. 3. 4. thee a graven image of the President of the College, nor of the Dean of Men, nor shalt thou bow thy knee too deeply before the pressures of Society. Rather thou shalt keep an open mind and re member the teachings of the New Testament in consider ing thy studies and prepara tion for life. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guilt less that taketh his name in vain; but thou shalt Include religion and high ethics in thy preparation for life. Each semester shalt thou labor while in Mars Hill — thou, and thy fellow students and thy faculty, and when thou undertake thy chosen profession, thou shalt con tinue to study and keep abreast of progress; at no time shalt thou make a car nival of the works of predecessors or of thy thy suc cessors. 5. thy nor 5. 7. 8. 9. 10. Thou shalt not covet neighbor’s University, someone else’s equipment, nor to have the greatest number of unread books in your librarj'. Nor shalt thou envy a successful fellow student, nor his grades in chemistry or biology, nor the love that other students have for him. Thou shalt not kill the in tellectual and scientific curi osity of either fellow student or teacher by substituting lackadaisical attitudes and efforts for the excitement of devoted learning. Thou shalt not commit adul tery, but to thine own in stitution, Mars Hill College and its ideals and distinctive function shalt thou be true. Thou shalt not tolerate deg radation — neither of admis sion standards, faculty, nor the course of study. Thou shalt not steal thy neighbor’s notes, nor his books, nor cause him to fal ter while in school; neither shalt thou steal anything from him after thou hast completed thy course of study. Thou shalt not forswear thy self — not with fellow stu dents, nor with faculty, nor with sweetheart or wife; but thou shalt perform thy oaths to pursue faithfully the way of truth and love. Thou .shalt honor sound learn ing and moral ethics, and shalt attack shoddiness and pretension that thy name be remembered at Mars Hill College and by all whom thou shalt serve in the years ahead. January 1953. (The above ere used by By FRANCES GILLESPIE Hello, you happy people. Just two more weeks! Have j'ou decided yet what you’ll do dur ing spring holidays? The faculty also will be enjoying a few days of bliss away from us. Many teach ers have already made their plans. For instance. Miss Garner is go ing to sit down away from every thing and not move. Mrs. Vann plans to visit in Alabama and in Roanoke, Virginia. Gene Roberts, 1950-51 editor of the Hilltop, now employed by the Goldsboro News-Argus, visit ed the campus recently with his bride. Mr. Roberts was quite amazed and proud of the improve ments on the campus since he was a student here. Mr. Wood says that the only exercise some people get is jump ing to conclusions. Chicken every Sunday!! Well, at least it looked that way at Myers Dorm recently when one budding poultryman received 100 baby chicks in the mail. The Wooden Horse, from St. Petersburg, Florida, gives a per fect example of an American tragedy: He read the textbook. He studied the notes. He outlined both. Then he summarized his out line. 4'hen he outlined his sum mary on 3 X 5 cards. 'Fhen he reduced the card outline to one single card. Boiled the card down to one sentence. Boiled the sentence down to a phrase. Boiled the phrase down to a word. Entered the exam. Analyzed the question. And then. Forgot The Word.

She had never used a washing machine before. But, alas, college brings many new experiences, and laundry days do come. She went into the laundry room, and began reading the directions written above the washing machine. In serting the quarter as directed, she pushed the button. She waited until the water stopped running and, as directed, added soap. So far, so good. Then she sat for half an hour wondering when to put the clothes in. For days the new student had wondered about the long cases at tached to the belts of many of the boys on campus. Curiosity kills us, you know, so she inquired of a nearby student as to just why add anything to what has aP^^ been said. |( Congratulations to the f®‘''Ji cast of “The Neighbors” wonderful performance.
