Dick Nelson sounded for a mo
ment as though he might have
broken his arm last week when he
suddenly screamed in zoology lab.
He was surprised when a white
rat, one of the star performers in
Dr. Outten’s experiments, unex
pectedly ran across the floor.
Quiet-mannered as usual. Dr. Out-
ten told Dick, “It just wants to
see what’s going on in here.”
A butter-fingered but agile-
tongued biology student was re
cently heard to exclaim, “Oops,
just spilled tea on my phospho-
glyceraldehyde. You little devil,
you!”
Know the difference between
dating, courtship, engagement and
marriage? It was all explained
quite well in an MHC Greek class.
Dating is wondering whom to ask,
courtship is wondering when to
ask, engagement is preparation
after asking, and marriage is won
dering why you asked!
That hole in the side of the
Montague Building was not made
by our irate editors or by our
frustrated advisor. It is the first
step toward an outside entrance
at that point which will give the
Hilltop and Laurel staffs access
to their new office.
Sympathy is expressed to three
members of the college family in
the loss of loved ones recently.
David Montross returned to the
campus this week following the
death of his father. Mr. Hoffman
recently went to Pennsylvania for
the funeral of his grandmother,
and Mr. Pegg suffered the loss of
an aunt.

Chaplain’s Job Is Challenging

A more-than-full-time job, the
position includes presiding at
chapel, serving as chairman of the
Religious Life Committee, which
directs the various religious ac
tivities on campus; and co-spon
soring the Baptist Student with
Dr. Pierce.
Mr. Melvin also teaches in the
religion department and works
with several other campus organi
zations. In addition he tries to
find time to confer with any stu
dents who seek his advice.
A 1951 graduate of Mars Hill
who was president of the BSU
during his second year, Mr. Mel
vin transferred to Baylor Univer
sity and completed the B.A. de
gree there in 1953. Returning to
North Carolina, he enrolled at
Southeastern Baptist Theological
^ Seminary at Wake Forest and ac
cepted the pastorate of the Grove
Park Baptist Church in Clinton.
In the fall of 1958 he joined the
Mars Hill faculty as a teacher of
history.
After teaching here three years
he took a leave of absence and re
turned to Southeastern to com
plete a masters degree and spent
a year in additional graduate
study at the University of Edin
burgh, Scotland.
During the leave of absence,
Mr. Melvin was married to the
former Elizabeth Ann Roberts of
Kingsport, Tenn. A daughter,
Vera, was born to them last May.
Two major goals challenge the
new chaplain, he says. One is to
know all of the students and find
out their needs. The second is to
encourage students to make sug
gestions for the improvement of
chapel services and other religious
activities on campus.
He has praise for the student
body because of their chapel be
havior, their spirit of cooperation
and participation. He also com
mends the BSU Council for the
fine job it is doing.
A good year of Christian fel
lowship and growth is seen by the
chaplain through the regular reli
gious activities and such special
events as Religious Emphasis
Week, which is scheduled for Feb
ruary, and the monthly discussion
groups organized under the theme
“Christianity in Conflict.”
After tonight, the Mars Hill
College Lions will have one more
football game, and that means one
more opportunity for the major
ettes to display their talents
in high-stepping, baton-twirling,
rhythmic routines. Then they will
warm their “goosebumps,” pack
uniforms and return to their
places in the concert version of
the band.
When the last strains of “Dixie”
have faded and the last kickoff
has been returned, there will still
be some vivid memories for the
four active and attractive coeds
who have served as majorettes
during this football season.
For Penny Ellison, the captain,
sophomore Loy Baird, freshman
Ann Johnson and high school sen
ior Janice Elam there will be mem
ories of the tension, excitement
and thrills of each game. They
will treasure the pride of having
represented the college and of
having added a special touch to
the various halftime activities.
The memories will erase and make
up for the many hours of un
cheered practice and the pain of
those cold nights when their ba
tons seemed to freeze in their
hands.
This year’s majorettes were se
lected by auditions at the begin
ning of the year. Penny and Jan
ice, who had been on the squad
last year, were rechosen. Loy, a
psychology major from Fort
Pierce, Fla., won the third posi
tion; and freshman Ann, who per
formed last year for Clinton (N.
C.) High School, won the fourth
spot.
From then on it was work,
work and more work for these
four. They practiced hours to per
fect their routines for the few
short minutes of performance, but
they enjoyed it.
Of her squad. Penny recently
commented, “They are a good
group—all cooperative with lots
of pep, energy and original ideas.”
Pew people realize it but the
majorettes are not just flashy
twirlers and high-steppers. Each
is a talented musician and will
perform with the band during its
concert season. Penny, a sopho
more from Greenville, S. C., per
forms in percussion; Janice plays
flute; Loy adds to the clarinet
section and Ann also plays the
flute.
