Susie Merriman and Elaine
Sitton, May Queen and Maid
Honor respectively, looked
"'^11 their queenly roles as they
^paxed in an informal discus
sion which took place in Elaine’s
''oom. According to Elaine, she
and her roommate, Paula Hos-
'■Js, decorated the room with
ed curtains and red bedspreads
’®cause they wanted it to be
® room of cheer.”
Susie, a sophomore from
‘^Iddale, Va., expressed her
^tonishment at being chosen
y Queen. Having spent a
®^pless night, she consumed
• ° alka seltzers trying to ad-
JUst herself to her new status.
^ ® says one usually thinks of
ji^^5®n as possessing grace and
I sure did not appear very
graceful when I fell out of my
the other day.”

th‘ sense of humor, said

eyes, while Elaine is 5’fi” and
has brown hair and blue eyes.
Although both girls attended
different high schools, they have
similar records. Each was an
honor student. For tw'o years
Susie was co-chief cheerleader
and for three years Elaine was
chief. Both were vice-presidents
of the student council and both
were Homecoming Queens. In
addition, Elaine was chief mar
shal her junior year.
Both Susie and Elaine intend
to further their education at
Wake Forest. When speaking
of their evaluation of Mars Hill,
both say they feel it is superior.
Most impressive to Elaine is the
caliber of the students and their
friendliness. Susie is impressed
by the experiences derived from
her adaption to “dorm life.”
She is an advocate of self-educa
tion and dorm life has enriched
this advocation.
Elaine enjoys relaxing with
her family and dating Larry who
comes up on these occasions.
Elaine believes that her engage
ment to Larry is the highlight
of this year.
Susie and Elaine, two lovely,
deserving coeds, intend to strive
to be worthy May Day represen
tatives.

In Hospital; Girls
Have ‘Many’ Month
Mr. Vernon of the dramatics
and speech faculty is still con
fined to Room 104, Mission Hos
pital in Asheville, where he has
been recovering from a fracture
of the spine suffered in a fall
Jan. 5. Doctors have fitted him
with a brace which he must wear
for approximately 6 months after
he leaves the hospital in a week
or so.
Belated congratulations are due
to band director John Sumrall,
who has captured the heart of
sophomore Suzanne Brown of
Erwin, Tenn. The couple has
announced plans to be married
soon.
Similar good wishes are in
®rder, too, for Joan Wilkey, secre
tary in the registrar’s office, who
returned from the Christmas holi
days wearing a handsome engage
ment ring.
The third finger, left hand, of
Miss Ann Brammer of the science
department, is also sparkling. Her
fiance, Durham Bell, visited the
campus last week.
Dean Lee is one of three Mad
ison County residents named to
serve on Confederate centennial
celebration committee. The ap
pointment was made by the county
commissioners at the request of
state officials in Raleigh.
New president of the Asheville
Art Museum is Mars Hill’s artist
and teacher Joe Chris Robertson.
Richard Nelson, sophomore from
Grand Island, N. Y., and Walter
Smith, publicity director for the
College and advisor for the Hill
top, have a something in common
these days — “expectant - father
nervousness.” Mrs. Nelson, secre-
taiy^ in the public relations depart
ment, and Mrs. Smith are expect
ing babies about the same time in
February.
The fact that there is a new
hostess in Stroup is not news to
the girls who live in that dorm,
but to many others on the campus
Airs. Alaria L. Starnell of Spar
tanburg is still a stranger. Mrs.
Starnell succeeds Mrs. Tom Wal
ters of Ridgecrest, who was forced
to resign because of illness.

A typically feminine room—simple and well-kept—is that of coeds
Jane Shaw (left) and Audra Gossett, Edna Moore residents. Here
the pair spin a few of their favorite platters as they enjoy a leisure
hour.

Neat Girls May Avoid
Beatings Later On
Hostesses — better known on
our campus as “housemothers”
— are a familiar part of college
life on the campuses across our
nation. Those at Mars Hill,
like those at other schools, have
their problems and their re
wards. Concerned over personal
problems as well as housekeep
ing among their “sons” and
“daughters,” the dormitory hos
tesses have established a wide
recognition for themselves as im
portant persons in the college
family.
Typical of the type of women
engaged to serve as housemoth
ers at Mars Hill are Mrs. Elsie
Teague and Mrs. Cora Charles.
Mother Teague, housemother
for Edna Moore Dormitory for
the last four years, is well
pleased with the way her girls
have "kept house this year. She
says they have displayed a more
than average maturity in their
attitude and a better spirit of
cooperation, which have result
ed in better housekeeping.
Alother Teague believes the
more simple the room, the bet
ter — neat, but not crowded.
Housemother in Huffman,
Mrs. Charles never had any girls
of her own. She really gets a kick
out of having “daughters.” She
is as proud as can be of the
way her girls are keeping their
rooms, because it signifies an
interest in their future homes.
She jokingly tells her girls
they should get into the habit
of keeping their rooms clean so
that later their husbands will
not beat them for being poor
housekeepers.
According to Airs. Charles,
home training reflects itself in
the rooms of the girls; neatness
at home shows in neatness at
school. Alost of her girls seem
very mature in their attitudes.
Since the beginning of school
study habits have improved
greatly. She tells her girls that
they should work when they
work and play when they play.
Alother Charles desires a hap
py life of health, spirituality and
good scholarship for her girls.
The girls live in the dorm as
“sisters” in a high degree of
cooperation, but Mrs. Charles
is quite concerned with the de
cline of attendance at church
and prayer service, a problem
of equal concern for the other
members of the college family.
Social relationships among
the young women and young
men on the campus are a sub
ject of vital interest to the
housemothers. Mrs. Charles
and Mrs. Teague, like the oth
ers, strive to help and encourage
their “daughters” to develop
and maintain wholesome and
enjoyable relationships on the
highest level.
Joe College Hungry,
Strange and Wild
(ACP)—With tongue in cheek,
the girls at Chestnut Hill Col
lege, Philadelphia, set out to de
scribe the collegiate male. Here is
the result, from the Fournier
News:
He is a strange compound of
wolf and cherub, beatnick and
stockbroker. (The proportions vary
widely in the individual mem
bers.) He frequently mixes, but
rarely dances. He eats (when the
food is free) as if he had just
returned from a 40-day fast in
the desert.
Generosity flows from his soul.
Quite willingly will he teach you
all he knows about politics, cars,
sports, love and women. He ex
pects to be chased and admired,
but scorns girls who flirt.
If he is lymdsome, he is con
ceited. If he is smart, he is too
smart. And if he is sweet, thought
ful and witty, he is engaged.
“Joe College” likes girls, par
ties, beer, Marlboros, girls, Ahmad
Jamahl, Fridays, girls, his alma
mater, football, the Kingston Trio
and girls. He dislikes blind dates,
work, crowded mixers, work,
weeping women, work, Mondays,
work, 12:00 p.m. curfews and
work.
He is a combination Troy
Donahue-Gardner AIcKay and a
charter member of the Mickey
Alouse Club. He is the despair
of the older generation and the
hope of America’s future. He is
what every philosophy professor
dreads, and what every college
girl dreams of.
