! 1 Page Two THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. C, I^E. Septen 30. 196 PLAIN LIVING AND HIGH THINKING Published by the Students of Mars Hill College Q'he Hilltop Volume XXXV September 30. 1960 Cultivate School Spirit When most people hear the phrase “school spirit” they immedi ately think of supporting the athletic teams by attending the games. True this is school spirit, but it is only the beginning. School spirit ranges from attending classes to supporting all ac tivities of the school, including the BSU, WRA, societies and var ious other extra-curricular activities. Each of us has a responsibility and we should strive to do our best. If we fail to do our best, our purpose is lost and there is no school spirit. One phase of school spirit which is often overlooked is respect. Each student should respect the rules and regulations of the school and strive to live up to the ideals set by Mars Hill College. Especially at college should students have respect for others. Each of you expects respect from others, and so it is your duty to show respect toward them. Do you as a student of MFC show the proper school spirit and attitude around campus? Do you show proper respect toward your fellow classmates and respect their rights as individuals? If not, it is time for you to brush up on your school spirit. College Life Offers Opportunities College life is new, exciting, and different. Each day brings new opportunities to emerge into the adult world — our world of tomorrow. Tomorrow the world will be completely in our hands, but today is the day to accomplish tasks which lie before us at the present. There are many problems which face each of us, and the way we approach these problems shows our potentialities for the future. What are we making of ourselves today as freshmen and sophomores? What about those lessons we should be doing? Are we trying our best? There are many pople who are depending on us — folks back home and people right here on Mars Hill campus. As freshmen, sometimes it is hard to “buckle down” and get “into the swing of things.” There are so many activities to attract our attention from studying. Some of these activities are worth while and should be indulged in; others are only trifles. Our duty is to discern between trifles and real opportunities for advance ment and service. Sophomores have already been down that “first year road”; and we know what our potentialities are. Yet, often we are prone to over-estimate our abilities. We think we can do more than our share. We still have to remind ourselves to choose the better of two good ideas. During this year, let’s try to make the best of every opportunity we have, and let’s choose our activities with discrimination. BSU Serves MHC Students Are you a member of the B. S. U.? The membership of the Baptist Student Union is composed of every student on campus who has joined the Mars Hill Baptist Church or any one of the unit organizations comprising the Baptist Student Unions.

Hello! Welcome to Mars Hill College, freshmen. As you know you are a part of a great institution. It’s great because Christians such as you made it possible. We of Euthalia offer to you a most cordial invitation to visit society, and if it is at all possible, join one.

We of Philomathia sincerely hope that our efforts were not in vain, and that each of you freshmen felt welcome and at home. The thirty-eight visitors stat ed how imjjressed they were with the program and the meet ing. Six of the visitors joined the society. “We in Phi are looking for ward to the most successful year ever in the history of Philoma thian Society,” says Page Shel ton, president of Phi.
