Page Two THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. C. Janl961 Eisenhower Retires; Kennedy Assumes Post Begin New Semester With Fresh Outlook Fall semester 1960 is over. With the end of the semester come many fond memories of the days gone by, the leaving of old friends, and. for some — disappointment. For now that the grades are in many are saying, “If I had only studied harder . . .” Especially now it is evident that playing dur ing school and wasting time does not result in the type of grades parents expect. But with the dawn of a new semester comes a fresh story and a diance to do the work one is capable of, or at least do better. The wise budgeting of time is an essential to proper study. There are many extra curricular activities and these too are important, but with the proper use of time these activities are no excuse for poor grades. Just remember when working on an extra activity, or gabbing in a bull session — that you do have homework for the next day. After all, the thing most of us are in college for is to learn, get an education, and prepare for the future. These are the most important years of our lives for they are molding the key to our future. And if that key is mis-shaped or rusty, the door it opens may not be the happy and successful one. New Faces-New People Seeing new faces around the campus? Don’t be alarmed! They are just the faces of the new students. There are approximately thirty new comers on campus. Some of these students are transfers from other colleges and some are just beginning their college life. A hearty welcome to each of the new students. We hope that the friendly atmosphere of MHC will make you feel right at home. Along with these new faces are three old faces. Kaye Jordan, and Billy Cutts are both returning this semester after dropping out because of illness. Cynthia Finch is also returning. Cynthia had to leave early in the year because of illness at home. Welcome back! We hope you will soon be in the old groove again.

NC Residents Eligible For Teacinng Loan January 20, 1961, Dwight D. Eisenhower ended his eight-year fcfnrmThe^White House and became a private citizen once again. "Ike” arid his wife, Mamie, retired to their farm in Gettysburg where they were warmly welcomed by friends and neighbors. As the Eisenhowers settled down to a quiet country life, John Kennedy took over his duties as President of the United States. Along with Kennedy come many other faces new to the Washington scene. Not only will there be new faces in the capital, but there will be new policies and new ideas. There are possibly many questions running through the minds of the American people concerning Kennedy and his administra tion. Will Kennedy be able to end the Cold War with Russia? Will disarmament come? Will Cuban-American relations improve? The answers no one knows — not even Kennedy himself. Only time will tell. Four years is a long time and many things can hap pen during the Kennedy administration. Kennedy and his cabinet have a big task before them. America has much influence in the world today. Will this influence remain strong and high under the guidance of Kennedy and his staff? Recipients must attend any North Carolina college or uni versity, public or private, which offers teacher preparation or work leading to teacher prepara tion. If any student is interested in applying, he may check with the Bursar’s office for further par ticulars. Robinson Wins Painting Award Grove Robinson of New York Citl, a former resident of Mars Hill and a student at Mars Hill College 1954-55, was one of the five winners of $100 awards in the 23rd Annual Artists Compe tition and Exhibition which is currently displayed in the North Carolina Art Museum, Decem ber 11 - January 22. Grove’s painting of mixed me dia, “White - 1959 - Cityscape’’, was done in New York, where he is painting, following his earn ing the M.A. degree in art from Columbia University in June, 1960. He also has received the BFA degree from Columbia which was followed by a Ful- bright scholarship for a year’s study abroad in Paris, France, 1958-59. Grove is the son of Mrs. Locke Robinson, who works at the main desk of Memorial Library, and the late Dr. Robinson. Club Schedules Beauty Pageant The Furniture City Chapter of the American Business Club will hold its annual beauty pag eant in High Point, April 7 and 8, 1961 to select Miss Sun Fun of North Carolina, 1961. She will represent North Carolina in the national pageant at Myrtle Beach on June 8-10 where Miss Sun Fun USA will be selected. Any single girl between the ages of 18 and 25 interested in participating is asked to con tact Mr. Stewart Stone, Box 1, High Point, North Carolina. Attendance at a North Carolina College or University fulfills the residence requirements, even if your home is not in North Car olina. Postofjice Is Busy Plact Scene Of Joy and Sorri Students who are residents of North Carolina and who are planning to teach in the state after college graduation are eli gible for a scholarship loan fund, amounting to $350 for each regular school term. All interested students should apply to Prospective Teachers’ Scholarship Loan Fund, State Department of Public Instruc tion, Raleigh, North Carolina, before March 1, 1961. There is a small room in the Student Center whi frequented more than any other place on campus, of the student body assembles in and out, looking expectant. To all of us on campus, the post offi morale-booster around.

Pupils Enroll In Cold Gym Some people surely do pull “boners” at registration time, and our Mars Hill faculty is very willing to relate conversa tions and experiences they had and heard Monday and Tuesday. First of all though, we should all be grateful to the faculty. Each teacher was willing to en dure that terribly cold morning in the gymnasium. As all of you probably noticed, the teach ers were trying to keep warm with coats, heaters, and blankets. A certain teacher was seen sit ting on the radiator. One of the women faculty members rated several comments from the freshmen when she was signing the registration cards with a pair of men’s socks on her feet. Credit is due to Coach Hart and Miss Snelson for providing coffee to the freezing faculty members. A rumor which was really "too good to be true” was that you can pay a certain teacher $50 to raise a D to a B, or he will even be willing to give an A to the student who will give $1000 for the auditorium! (So to those who have money, your grades surely won’t be altered, but at least you’d be contributing to a worthy cause.) One girl hopped up to a desk on crutches. After relating that she had hurt her foot riding on a sled, one teacher very seriously asked, “Were you riding on a sled or a tray?” Then there was the “Yaaaa!!!” from the students who received their first day’s assignment from Mr. Price at the registration table. Have fun with those nice assignments! Can you believe it? One of the science teachers signed him self up as a Bible teacher. Then there was the old fa miliar sound of “I must have so- and-so. His class will be a crip.” One of the coaches was over heard today, “Now let’s see. You wanted P. E. on Tuesday and Thursday ... on what day?” We musn’t overlook the con versation between Mr. Edye and Mr. Wood about Coach Hart’s little dog. Goofy. Mr. Edye said, “Here comes Goofy. I wonder if he wants to be registered, too?” Mr. Wood answered back very quickly, “I believe he’s al ready a registered dog.” You freshmen probably would like to hear the nice compliment about you by one of the teach ers, “These freshmen are as good- looking as the ones last se mester.” Then there was the reminder of a word which has been coined recently — p>ede-oratitis (with all due respects to the correct spelling of the word.) Pede-or- atitis is commonly known as “every time I open my mouth, I put my foot in it.” (This Returning with nw mail, the worker “shake a leg.” By i Hill cag worker has been stern Car times if the mail the 63-51 the mail is done.wakenin of numbers: all t\t degree has a box numbe season ir one hundred is Iseemed tc boxes first. 5 not to i The window ofr.
