Page Two THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL, N. C. May 16, k 16, 1964 1 ‘ImmortaV Message For Mars Hillians s Class* if 193i7 So meanineful and apropos were his words that they have come to be known as “The Immortal Message. As we at Mars Hill face our first senior college commencement, it Tes nof seem illogical to reprint Dr. Brooks' message as though it were addressed to Mars Hillians. ^ inoi This, my message to the Senior Cioss ot lyot, I address also to the seniors ot all years, those seniors of the past and those seniors yet to be. This I do because 1 love them all equally even as I love all mankind regardless ot station or creed, race or religion. I stand on the border of mortal life but I face eternal life. I look backward to the years of the post to see all pettiness, all triviality shrink mto nothing and disappear. Adverse criticism has no meaning now. Only the worthwhile things, the constructive things, the things that have built for the good of mankind and the glory of Ood count now. There is beauty, there is joy, cmd there is laughter in life—os there ought But remember, all of you, not to regard ligh^ nor to ridicule the sacred things, those worth while things. Hold them dear, cherish them, for they alone will sustain you in the end; and re member too that only through work and ofttiines through hardships may they be attained, but the compensation of blessing and sweetness at the lost wUl glorify every hour of work and every heartache from hardship. Looking back now os I do, I see thmgs wito a better perspective than ever before and in their truer proportions. More clearly do I recog nize that God is love. More clearly do I under stand the universal fatherhood of God. More clearly do I know the brotherhood of man. Truths do not change. The truths of life wmch I learned os a student at Baylor hove not yco^, nor will they vary. I know now that life has been a summary of that which was taught me first os a student here. As my teachers hove lived through me so I must live through you. You who are graduating today will go out into the world to discover that already you h^e touched much of what the future holds. You hove learned the lessons which must fit you for the difficulties and the joys of the years to come. Then hold these college years close in your hearts and value them at their true worth. Do not face the future with timidity nor with fear. Face it boldly, courageously, joyously. Have faith in what it holds. Sorrow as well as happiness must come with me. But know thch only after sorrow's hand has bowed your h^d will life become truly real to you, for only then will you acquire the noble spirituality which intensifies the reality of life. My own fcnth ^ I approach eternity grows stronger day by d^. The faith I hove had in life is projected mto this vast future toward which I travel now. I kn^ that I go to on all-powerful God wherever He may be. I know that He is a personality who created man in His image. Beyorid that I have no knowledge—^no fear—only faith. Because of what Baylor has rnecrnt to you m the post, because of what she will mean to you in the future, oh, my students, have a core for her. Build upon the foundations here the great school of which I hove dreamed, so that she may touch and mold the lives of future genen otions and help to fit them for life here and here^ter. To you seniors of the post, of the pres ent, of the future I entrust the care of Baylor University. To you I hand the torch.

Prof ‘Mick’ Reporting I hove told you many times that your once in forming a strong student govemm® pos en XXX - _ thjl't essential; however, this cannot be overly a piano the compi converte Friends: For several months, I have been making on-the-spot observa tions of other-planetary life. The most interesting study was that of the social habits on Mars. Most of my information on Mars was given or arranged for me by a young girl I met on the second day after I arrived. She attracted my attention because she seemed so cheerful and care free. “You see,” she explained, “yesterday I turned 21, and last night my mother let me date off the estate.” The most interesting fact about Mars is that there are three sexes. By far the most common are the males and females. They are the equivalent of our male and female and serve the same respective purposes. The third sex is called “luv-ater,” a term which is best translated “neuter,” but denotes persons who, through age or otherwise, have lost the ability to appreciate the emotions and beauty of youth. Most per sons of my informant’s age put into this sex their parents, local lawmen, the administration of the schools, and various other per sons. As you can see, the luv-ater is not too popular. The purpose of this strange sex is not too apparent, but it seems that their chief duty (or perhaps, ability) is to control the social behavior of the males and fe males. Of particular importance is the requirement of the pres ence of a “luv-ater” whenever and wherever a male and female meet until they are both of age (at 35) or are married. On the morning of my first ap pointment my informant seemed especially happy. Her finance had actually touched her hand. “It was just- too good to be true,” she said dreamily. “I’m surprised that our Tuv-ater’ didn’t send us both home for a week! We’ve only been engaged for 10 months now. At this rate, he might even kiss me before our wedding!” Many of the social rules on Mars were beyond my compre hension; however, I did not feel too bad when I learned that young people who lived on Mars all their lives did not understand them or their reason. When I go back to Mars I do plan to take a wife so I can enjoy myself. —Prof. Z. Q. Micklemack Jn FFF Of ^yi/]ountain6 sed. Perhaps the greatest need confrontihi]t_ ^ is to work together. Only through the coof tion of every segment of our student body|otning from 1 our future goals be attained. The glow to the fron- future for Mars Hill is only as bright as Were unic individual strives to make it.

But still a sadder song I sing than you. For it’s toward pain my twig of thought is bent. Doubt my love of mountain* not e’en so. For though in melancholy mood. I’ve sought their grandeur, hunt ed haunts of shade To listen to their music wrought so rude. I have known the mountains— sights and sounds That if you lived your life two fold, Its destined span of years, you n’er could touch That spirit known by few through ages old. Yes, I’ve lived these mountains— in the sun. I’ve felt their looming shadows fall At turn of day to fade the Violet’s blue And blend my soul with Nature’s all and all. Night has found me camping by the shore Of mountain lakes so bright, a slave I would become to heaven’s orbs aglow To count the constellations in the wave. Ah, dear bird, my year* so few— yet aged— Among these mountain* have been spent. Yet, still a sadder song I sing than you. For it’s toward pain my twig of thought is bent. Mountains! Mountains! why en slave me so? In ever hollow, steep and vale You hold some mem’ry of my wretched days To plague my every breath with a living hell! —Jerry Young viduals. |''i(ied the gi To those who will be graduating this One bi I extend a wish for a successful and benefit. ceiUn^ and ture.
