REMINDER
The Four Preps, one of America’s foremost singing groups,
will be presented to Mars Hill College students at 8 p. m. Tues
day, Oct. 29, in Moore Auditorium.
They will seek election as sec
retary and as treasurer, respect
ively, at the convention of the
North Carolina Division of the
AHEA in Durham on Nov 1-2.
Approximately 5 members of the
chapter plan to attend the meet
ing to support the chapter’s nom
inees.
Thursday, Nov. 7, will be the
last day for dropping courses
without penalty. Registrar Robert
Chapman reminds us. Any course
dropped after that date will be
entered on the student’s record
as WF — withdrew failing.
In their concert, the second number in the current college
lyceum series. The Four Preps will give a two-hour program,
fully self-contained with musical accompaniment. Featured
on the program will be their many record hits and their remark
ably accurate and always hilarious vocal impressions of the
country’s other top singers and vocal groups.
Mr. Chapman also warned that
any course which a full-time stu
dent drops, now or later, which
puts his total load of semester
hours below 12 also will be en
tered as WF.
Although visitors will be invited to the performance from
off campus, students will be giv-
Mrs. Mary Howell, head of the
home economics department and
sponsor of the chapter, is a nom
inee for first vice chairman of
the state division. She has been
serving this year as historian.
Delinquent reports are due Nov.
2 and notices will be mailed
shortly thereafter to parents of
students doing unsatisfactory
work, Mr. Chapman said. Any
grade below C is unsatisfactory.
A report on plans for the con
vention was given at a meeting
of the chapter Monday night by
Catherine Powell, Mars Hill’s
delegate to a convention-planning
session. Forty-seven coeds, in
cluding several new members,
cheered the news that the Mars
Hill chapter is the fourth largest
in the state and has the best at
tendance record based on per
centage.
Commission
Recommends
Expulsion
A special program entitled “Be
ing a Good Hostess” was present
ed at the chapter meeting under
the direction, of Lola Thomas,
first vice chairman. Chapter
president Cecile Plott presided.
Continuation of the rule that
any student who accumulates 50
demerits be expelled from the col
lege was recommended by the
Commission of the Student Gov
ernment Association at its reg
ular meeting Monday night.
The local chapter was host to a
regional rally of high school Fu
ture Homemakers of America in
Moore Auditorium last Saturday.
More than 1,000 girls from 45
Western North Carolina high
schools attended.
Attention was called to the fact
that senior women have been re
quested to sign in by 11 p. m.
even though the Student Hand
book says they may come in at
11:30.
Report was made of a meeting
between a Commission commit
tee and the superintendent of
buildings and grounds regarding
workmen entering students’
rooms without warning.

Senate and is now in the hands
of the Administrative Council.

cording to the dean of students,
who schedules such programs.
ID cards may be required if seat
ing is a problem.
The Preps are one of the busi
est vocal groups in the nation to
day. In their eight-year career
they have had several hits, in
cluding “26 Miles,” “Down by the
Station,” “Big Man,” “Lazy Sum
mer Night,” “Got a Girl” and
“Dreamy Eyes.” Their album,
“The Four Preps on Campus,” be
came a national best-seller; and
their followup, “Campus En
core,” was equally as successful.
They have appeared on Ed Sul
livan’s TV show four times, on
Ernie Ford’s program six times
and on the Dick Clark Show 14
times. In addition they have
played almost every state fair in
the country. Their college ap
pearances have taken them to
every state in the union, leaving
broken attendance records in
their wake.
If there were ever any doubt
about the Preps’ versatility, one
of their hit records, “More Money
for You and Me,” should have
cleared it up. In it the Preps spin
off amazingly accurate imitations
of other vocal groups ranging
from The Fleetwoods to the Four
Freshmen.
