The pageant consists of three scenes as follows: Scene I, The — Landing of the Pilgrims, Decera- Three Artists’ Works Shown An exhibition of 30 watercolor and tempera paintings by Fred Alessersmith, instructor in paint ing at West Virginia Wesleyan College; Lucy Doane, instructor in art at the Bennington Museum, Bennington, Vermont; and Eve lyn Wentz of Toledo, Ohio, are being shown during the month of November in the Art Depart ment. The exhibition, sponsored by Studio Guild of West Redding, Connecticut, reflects a varied ap proach to subject matter native to the areas which the artists rep resent. The pictures show em ployment of abstract design and unusual techniques with water- color media to related subject mat ter. The exhibition may be viewed at any time in the art room, Moore 31, by members of the student body. .

Flu Epidemic Leaves Campus In Dazed Mood Christian, Perry To Give Recital John C. Christian, a member of the Mars Hill faculty and organist at the Asheville First Baptist Church, and Carl Perry, tenor, will give a joint recital on Sunday, November 17, 1957, at 4:00 p.m. in the First Baptist Church of Asheville. The public is invited. Now that the flu epidemic has about run its course. Mars Hill campus can settle back to its nor mal routine. In spite of the fact that the epidemic is over, it is not forgotten by any means. Many students are having difficulty making up the tests and work which they have missed. One student was heard to remark that while she was sick with the flu she got so tired of staying in bed that she wished she could go back to classes; after a few hours of class following the flu this same person was heard to remark that it surely would be nice to be back in bed again. It seems that this is the attitude of many of the students now back in class. While the epidemic raged, sta tistics show that approximately 400 students had the flu in one form or another. It seems that the flu bugs were attacking more and more students as the classes and activities proceeded. Typical of many campus news stories was this from Louisiana State Uni versity’s Daily Reveille: “Our classes are filled with sniffling, bleary-eyed students who are either on their way down or up.” This also seemed to be the case at Mars Hill. During the epidemic beds were provided for the boys in the gym, and later in the basement of the Church. The playrooms of Huff man and Stroup dormitories w'ere provided for the girls as well as the infirmary. Alars Hill students, faculty, and staff are indebted to those who gave of their time and ability in helping to make things run smooth ly during the epidemic. The serv ices of the doctors and nurses were deeply appreciated. Also those who carried trays and performed other seemingly small tasks were a great help.
