Reagan Scores
In Oratorical
Battle For MH
John Reagan, Mars Hill sopho
more, won first place in the indi
vidual oratory contest held at
Lenoir-Rhyne Mar. 8-10, in the
South Atlantic Forensic Tourna
ment.
The forensic team, working un
der the leadership of its coach,
Mr. Glenn Vernon, represented
Mars Hill in seven rounds of de
bate and six speaking contests.
Roy O’Bryan and John Reagan
entered the speaking contests. De
baters included Don Rothwell and
Paul Clark, negative; and Don
Dalton and John Grier, affima-
tive. The intercollegiate debate
proposition is, “Resolved: That
labor organizations should be un
der the jurisdiction of anti-trust
legislation.’’
The forensics team of Lenoir-
Rhyne won the sweepstake trophy,
which was given to the team with
the best record in both the debate
and speech contests.
Other schools In the tournament
were Carson-Newman, Davidson,
Gardner-Webb, D»ke, High
Point, Annapolis, Wake Forest,

work on the publication, but it
has been necessary to delay his
promotion until his tenure as a
society officer was ended because
the editorship carries the maximum
number of activities points.’’
A member of the staff of the
1961 Laurel, Charles has organ
ized this year’s staff and is push
ing toward a Mar. 24 copy dead
line.
Things Going Well
“Things are going fairly well
at this point, he stated. “If we
can get the remaining copy to the
printer on time, we should be able
to get delivery on the yearbook
early in May.”
In his capacity as editor Charles
shares with only a few other per
sons the two major secrets of the
forthcoming book, the person to
whom it is dedicated and the iden
tity of “Miss Laurel”, the future
attraction of the beauty section.
An accounting major who^ hopes
to become a Certified Public Ac
countant, Charles is currently
“sweating out” an application for
admission to the University of
North Carolina this fall.
Last-minute details of the forthcoming band tour are reviewed by
director John Sumrall with some members of the concert group. They
are (L to R) seated, Mary Ann Price and Su*y Brown; standing,
Arhs Suttles, vice president. Jack Gardner Helderman, Johnny Dal-
rymple and Otis Broyhill.
Cole Takes Lead In
Festival Production
“He is slouched and dirty, small
and wizened. The big-brimmed
hat on his head seems to rest half
way down his neck on his stooped
shoulders. His eyes are small and
closely set; his forehead is low
and narrow; and his chin recedes.
All in all, he presents a picture
of a cruel, weak man.”
Such is the picture of Tom
Lincoln presented in “Nancy
Hanks, Bondwoman,” which will
be given by a group of Mars Hill
students, under the direction of
