BISHOP HENRY, bishop of
the Episcopal Diocese of Western
North Carolina, who will be the
speaker in chapel Tuesday, is
known for his speaking ability
“which,” says Dean Lynch,
“causes few people to sleep.
Last year he gave us one of the
best ‘Baptist’ sermons we’ve ever
heard.” The bishop is an old
friend of the college.

Harless to edit yearbook
HARLESS
Work on the 1963 Laurel pro
gressed this week with the ap
pointment of an editor-in-chief
and the announcement of plans
for the “Miss
Laurel” contest.
Judy Harless,
sophomore from
Greensboro, was
officially
named editor-
in-chief of the
yearbook by the
faculty’s publi
cations commit
tee. Prior to
formal approval
she has been serving in temporary
capacity since last spring.
“Judy and I have already been
working with the engraver, the
artist and the printer on the 1963
annual,” Mr. Smith, the advisor,
explained. “The general plan of
the book has been determined, the
cover has been designed, the indi
vidual pictures have been made
and we are now awaiting arrival
of the dummy in order that lay
out and added photography may
begin.”
Mr. Smith also announced the
selection of John Lackey, a former
Laurel editor now a junior music
major, as director of the “Miss
Laurel” contest for the ’63 year
book. Miss Laurel is the fea
tured beauty of the book and the
contest provides the coeds for the
beauty section.
Ballots for nominations for
“Miss Laurel” have been distrib
uted by Lackey to 38 campus or
ganizations. A girl may be nomi
nated by only one organization,
and the organization must have
the consent of the girl before sub
mitting her name. There will be
a preliminary judging to reduce
the finalists to seven. “Miss
Laurel” will be selected by an
outstanding off-campus personal
ity yet to be chosen.
Copies of the 1962 Laurel are
still being held for a few students
who did not receive theirs last
spring, but these must be picked
up in the Montague Building by
Nov. 15, according to Mr. Smith.
After that the remaining copies
will be distributed to high schools,
he said.
Briefcase can carry library
as new equipment is added
Adopting the tactics of such
well known “honor clubs” as the
FBI and the CIA, the Memorial
Library is now using microfilm.
A new addition to the expand
ing library facilities and also new
to many college students is the
recently acquired Recordak Film
Reader, which uses either 35 or
16 millimeter microfilms.
Mrs. Bridges, head librarian,
claims the new machine will en
able the library to “carry a whole
section of professional journals,
newspapers or case records in the
narrow confines of a briefcase.”
Works no longer in print can
be secured on microfilm for the
microfilm will take up only one
per cent of the space usually re
quired to shelve bound volumes.
The new Recordak has been in
stalled in the bound periodicals
room and the library staff is al
ready ordering periodicals and re
search materials on microfilm.
The machine also will be useful
in recording theses if Mars Hill
ever institutes a graduate pro
gram.
Europe offers
Germancourse
Dream of studying abroad?
Well, here is your chance, but you
must hurry. Applications for the
spring semester at the universi
ties of Vienna and Freidburg must
be in not later than Dec. 10.
The program at Vienna will
admit those with sophomore or
junior standing as of Feb. 2, 1963.
The university combines English-
taught liberal arts and general
studies courses. There is intensive
German language instruction and
regular university courses taught
in German for those competent.
The “Das Deutsche Semester”
program at the University of Frei
burg is open only to juniors. It
stresses political science, German
language study, German philos
ophy and literature and European
history. All classes are taught in
German.
Each program requires a C-plus
college average. Admission will
depend on the student’s academic
achievement and the recommenda
tions of his dean and department
chairman and a professor familiar
with his recent college work.
Information can be obtained
from the Institute of European
Studies, 35 E. Wacker Drive,
Chicago.
Food awaiting
HEC lassies
Approximately 23 delegates of
the Mars Hill College Chapter of
the North Carolina Home Econom
ics Association are attending a
breakfast this morning at Grove
Park Inn in Asheville.
“Music in the Home” will be
the topic of discussion at the next
regular meeting of the MH chap
ter in the Science Building Mon
day night. Featured speaker will
be Mrs. David M. Roberts of the
music faculty.
Great moments in American
history and intimate glimpses into
the formative years of one of the
nation’s greatest presidents will
be acted out for Mars Hilllans
next Friday night.
“Abe Lincoln in Illinois,” a mov
ing drama by Pulitzer prize win
ning playwright Robert E. Sher
wood, will be produced on the
main stage in Moore Auditorium
by the Dramateers beginning at
8 p.m.
The part of Lincoln in his pre
beard days will be played by six
foot, five inch Arlis Suttles of
Mars Hill, a junior. Others in the
cast include Darden Battle as
Mentor Graham, Mary Horton as
Ann Rutledge and Mimi Jones as
Mary Todd. John Huff will be
stage manager, and the production
will be under the direction of
Mrs. Watson, drama teacher.
The play, which starred Ray
mond Massey in its Broadway
presentation, depicts the emerg
ence of a great statesman from
the most unlikely source, a hum
ble, awkward backwoodsman. It
centers its story on the critical
years of Lincoln’s early manhood,
tracing his failure as a storekeeper
and capturing the tenderness of
the love which the townspeople
felt for the young man.
Lincoln’s maturing and the
gradual realization of his poten
tial as a leader and as a humani
tarian are revealed as the drama
progresses and the gateway of his
political career begins to open.
Romantic interest is included in
the plot through the portrayal
of the two great loves of Lincoln’s
personal life, his ill-fated romance
with Ann Rutledge and his even
tual marriage to Mary Todd.
The Lincoln-Douglas debates
and Lincoln’s election as president
are included in the play, captur
ing two important events in
American history.
