students will celebrate the arrival
of spring and these ladies will be
the feature attraction of May Day
festivities.
Chosen from the four classes as
the most popular beauties, these
girls are campus ideals of charm,
beauty, grace, poise and well-
rounded personalities. They have
been given the highest rating by
their classmates to set the stage
for the oncoming events.
Reigning over the activities as
Queen of May will be Ruth Ram
irez of Tampa, Fla. Ruth s jet
black hair, large chestnut-brown
eyes, and smooth, radiant com
plexion speak of her Spanish an
cestors and inhance her grace and
poise as a senorita. Previously in
Ruth’s college life, she has been
in the homecoming court. May
court and Miss Laurel contest.
This year she is among the seven
finalists for the title of “Miss
Laurel of 1964.”
Vivacious and friendly Mary
Horton will serve as Maid of
Honor. Mary’s “extra curricular
activities” have been many and
varied. With her winning smile
and personality she captured the
title of “Miss Laurel of 1963.”
Senior class representatives in
this year’s May court will include
red-headed Elaine Teague, who
reigned as May Queen in 1963;
home economics major Bonnie
Russell, who has also taken part
in other beauty contests and was
Homecoming Queen last fall; and
Verna Kay Popplewell, one of the
taller girls who presents a stately
and striking manner. She was a
Miss Laurel finalist last spring.
Kay Brooks, Jo Wells and Nan
cy Trotter were selected as junior
beauty honors too because of their
self-assurance and pleasant per-
representatives. They have gained
sonalities. Kay is never seen
frowning and her philosophy
seems to be “smile and the world
smiles with you.” She is active in
different BSU functions. Jo’s pri
mary activities are in the Home
Economics Club. Also, she is a
finalist in the Miss Laurel contest
this year. Nancy, called “Trotter”
by almost everyone, is a lively
blonde who never tires of smiling
and making new and interesting
friends.
Dell Broyhill, Kathy Dunevant
and Doris Martin were chosen to
represent the sophomore class.
Dell is also a cheerleader and was
in the Miss Rhododendron con
test last spring. Kathy, a talented
home economics major, is a final
ist in the Miss Laurel contest and
has represented her class before.
Doris was the sophomore attend-
ent for the homecoming court and
can easily be recognized by her
“flipped up” blonde hair, spark
ling blue eyes and flashing smile.
New at the business of being in
the May court are the freshman
representatives, but they are not
new at being beauty contestants.
Jenny Smith is a dashing 5-8 bru
nette who seems to be making
her college days ring with her
peals of laughter. Pam Howell
has been in the Mars Hill beauty
spotlight before as the first Rat

Susan’s Sixty Q.P.’s
Top Dean’s Honor Roll
Susan Walker, senior from Roa
noke, Va., tallied 60 quality points
for the fall semester and thereby
became the top student on the
dean’s honor roll.
Runners-up were Mary Rebec
ca Youngblood with 551/2 q.p.’s
and Mary Horton with 54. Ron
Vocal Cord
Strain Hits
Trio Singer
Everyone, of course, knows of
the cancellation of the scheduled
Tuesday night appearance here of
the Chad Mitchell Trio, but per
haps few know the details behind
the disappointing announcement.
Some light on the subject was
given the Hilltop by Mr. Smith,
the college’s publicity director,
who talked with Mike Kobluk, a
member of the trio, Tuesday
night.
According to a report of the
conversation, Mr. Kobluk said the
trio had been singing long and
hard in numerous recent engage
ments and that he (Kobluk) suf
fered some difficulty with his
throat just before Monday night’s
scheduled performance at West
ern Carolina College.
An Asheville physician diag
nosed Kobluk’s trouble and ad
vised him not to risk serious dam
age to his vocal cords by further
singing. Kobluk indicated he
would go to Chicago for treat
ment.
Dean Lynch, whose office
scheduled the trio, said an attempt
will be made to reschedule the
performance if a mutually satis
factory date can be found.
New Hurdle
Established
Prospective North Carolina
public school teachers in our stu
dent body and elsewhere found
a new hurdle in their path this
week as they worked toward cer
tification.
According to an Associated
Press dispatch from Raleigh, the
N. C. State Board of Education
voted to require all candidates
for teaching certificates to make
a minimum score of 450 on the
National Teacher Examination,
which is given throughout the
nation by the Educational Test
ing Service of Princeton, N. J.
A candidate for an “A” certifi
cate will have to score 450 and a
candidate for a graduate certifi
cate will have to score at least
500. Persons scoring between 400
and 450 but otherwise meeting
“A” certificate requirements will
be given probationary certificates,
which must be converted to a
regular certificate within two
years.
About 90 students took the
exams in the library last Satur
day.
Jackson and Ken Murray were
next on the list with 52% each.
Only four students, including
Susan, managed a straight-A rec
ord. The others were Ann Huff,
who score 48 quality points; Bill
Witt, who also had 48; and Mary
Jean Ellis, who had 46%.
Others who gained a place on
the academic honor list by mak
ing 40 quality points or more with
no grade below C include previous
