Our sympathy to Mr. William
Pegg of the Math Department,
who suffered the loss of a brother
last week just a few weeks after
the death of their father.
Anyone think he or she will be
lucky enough to attend the 1964-
65 World’s Fair in New York?
The dean of students office re
ceived word that admission tickets
to the Fair may be purchased at
a reduced rate if enough students
and/or faculty members are in
terested.
Quite a few people have been
surprised in recent days to see a
nun on the campus. She is Mother
Winifred Ann Schwoyer, princi
pal of Saint-Genevieve-of-the
Pines High School in Asheville.
She is enrolled in Miss Ihrig’s En
glish teaching methods class, one
of the few remaining courses she
needs to complete a masters de
gree. Also in the class is Mrs. Jo
Abbott, a lay teacher at St. Gen

Job Is Not
For Woman,
Poll Shows
Senator Margaret Chase Smith
of Maine has announced that she
will become the first woman ev
er to run for President of the
United States. Would Mars Hill
College students vote for her or
for any other woman for Presi
dent? Here are the results of an
informal poll on the subject:
David Sanders — Yes, but I
would like to see one as Vice-
President first.
Bucky Beechy — No I A wom
an couldn’t take the job of Pres
ident emotionally.
Osann Robertson — No! It
isn’t a woman’s place to run a
nation of men.
Doug West — I doubt it, but
I might if she were qualified and
could do it better than any other
candidate.
Gerald Lankford — Yes! A
very qualiifed “yes”.
Eddie Elliot — Yes. Some of
of them do as good a job as a
man.
Barbara Mathews — I don’t
know. They say a woman can do
anything a man can.
Jackie Austin — Who’s going
to run? Now maybe if Dr. Pierce
runs, I would.
Pat Danner—I would if I knew
she were capable of fulfilling her
job.
Gary Goodwin — No! They’re
too dumb. (Well they are, Joyce.)

Fractured Hip Sidelines
Beloved Faculty Member
Several weeks ago when there
was plenty of ice and snow and
the streets and sidewalks were
dangerously slippery, quite a few
members of the college family
learned that sometimes even an
extra measure of caution is not
enough. For most, the sudden en
counter with the ‘‘school of hard
knocks” was only a temporary dis
comfort; however, for one, the
result was more seriously conse
quential.
During the Christmas holidays,
when Western North Carolina was
in the grips of one of its most
fierce cold spells, Mrs. Nona
Moore Roberts, a member of the
faculty since 1919, slipped on a
sidewalk in Asheville and sus
tained a fractured hip.
Morris Wray, a senior educa
tion major especially talented in
French, is taking some of “Miss
Nona’s” beginner classes; and
Mr. Nunn is handling others. Mor
ris will, of course, learn first hand
the joys and responsibilities of
college teaching. This will, no

doubt, strengthen his regard for
his own teachers; but perhaps
he, along with many of her other
pupils, wishes that Mrs. Roberts
were already back.
Head of the modern language
department, “Miss Nona” is a
1914 graduate of Mars Hill. Her
father and mother were the much-
talked-of Dr. and Mrs. Robert
Lee Moore, who refounded the
college in 1897 and nourished it
with their dedicated lives for more
than 50 years. Mrs. Roberts was
a small child when her parents
came here, and she cherishes the
fact that her family has been af
filiated with the school for 67
years.
Many current students and a
large segment of the college’s
15,000 alumni know “Miss Nona”
as a cheerful teacher, fully dedi
cated to her students and to her
work. Her classes have been char
acterized by enthusiasm and a
keen display of appreciation for
French language, literature, art
and history.
Some students remember Mrs.
Roberts only as the one who gave
out tests for Dr. Nelson and
other teachers on the second floor
of the Fine Arts Building when
they were away from the cam
pus. Whatever the encounter with
her, though, few persons failed to
be impressed by her pleasant
smile and gracious personality.
After 45 years of unselfish ser
vice at the college it will undoubt
edly be difficult for Mrs. Roberts
to reconcile herself to being
away from the classroom. Already
she has been deeply missed, not
only here on the campus but also
in her home on “High School
Ridge.” There her husband Oren
and a playful cocker spaniel nam
ed “Trouble” eagerly await her
return from the hospital. Across
the street at the home of her son
David there is equal anticipation
among three young grandchildren.
