Note salutation. Have al erted American Red Cross. Please advise.’ “I told the operator to send it at nightletter rates and have it delivered in the morning. After a brief pause the operator said, ‘Lady, it’s only 15 words. Why don’t you send it as a regular telegram — and get him out of bed?’ I did.” Spring Holiday Experiences Varied Between Eating, Loafing, Visiting “My roomate and I acquired the reputation of having the most untidy room in the dormitory. Our housemother was a quiet yet ef fective woman. After repeated reprimands, which we ignored, she reached the end of her pa tience. When my roomate and I returned from classes one day, we found on one of our desks a very attractive display of seed packets and a note in the house mother’s handwriting which read: ‘If you don’t want to clean, at least plant something!’ ” For 51 years, tradition at Car thage College, 111., has been that coeds caught sitting on a large boulder on the campus are ob liged to submit to a quick but firm kiss. When the college moved to Kenosha, Wis., last summer, some 50 fraternity men hoisted the 2%-ton rock on a truck and took it to the new campus. Mars Hill students returned to campus last weekend from a 10- day vacation, some well-rested, others“beat” from miles of travel. Here are a few of their exciting adventures during the vacation. Gail Teague: I visited school principals while I was home—one of them was a bachelor. I inter viewed him. And you must add that I went to the dentist — I knew there was something excit ing that happened to me! Judy Jordan: I went to Selma, Ala., but not for THAT reason. My cousin and his wife are down there. He is in the Air Force. I met a “slew” of boys and a cute South Carolina possum. Think I might like to join the AF some day—but not as a servicewoman. Betty Smith: I didn’t have a vacation because I taught. Roberta Gunnett: I worked in a hospital lab from 7-5. What do you expect me to do besides that, heh? Hilda Gilpin: Oh gosh! I visited relatives in Kentucky. That’s all I did! Virginia Rollins: Oh heavens! Really nothing. I recuperated from choir tour and that took a lot. The funny part was com ing back and getting six people and their luggage into my tiny Corvair. It was a never-to-be-for gotten trip—rest stop included. But, I did nothing really dynamic. Joe Killian: Well I went back to Washington to see some friends and get some decent food. Kay Dixon: I ate, slept and went to revival. Then after being revived, I took off to Richmond and had an interview with a prin cipal. I went to a VMI party and had a day in Williamsburg. I was one of those six in Ginny Rollins’ car. Angie Priester: I looked for a teaching position for next year and also visited principals. I got a summer job in a newspaper of fice, and I slept and loafed. I went fishing and caught three fish. Well, you see, two fell back in, but I did get them out of the water, and the cat wouldn’t eat the other. Audrey Manly: What’s the best thing I did? I attended a Broadway play, “Barefoot in the Park” and ate cheesecake and coffee afterwards at “Lindy’s.” Brenda Corn: I went to Salis bury to see Mark. Being with him was the best thing. Linda Watterson: I stayed with my grandmother most of the time—she’s sick. No comment on the rest of it. Jane Slate: Hum—you really want to know? I went to East Carolina to see Larry and also Barbara Matthews. They have a beautiful campus, but it doesn’t beat MHC. Mart Britt: Picked out brides maid’s dresses and made frequent trips to the hospital ’cause my little sister had an appendectomy. I declare I spent all my time at the hospital. Craig Greene: Talked to Mart’s pastor about the wedding. Mr. Rich gave me a little book of in formative literature about mar riage. Mary Lou Newman: I did the same thing Betty Smith did — lived in home management house and taught. Mrs. Nellie Carson (house mother at Fox): Oh, boy! What I did. I went to see my grandchild ren. I went to Virginia Beach, where my son lives. Julia Greene: I played golf and just loafed for a change. Wade Mclver; I taught at North Buncombe and when every one went to bed early on Friday night, I went to Asheville. Sarah Higgins: I just looked out at our trailer, and Ronald (Cole) and I talked about the wedding. Judy Ellis; Kept the home-fires burning while Mother and Daddy took a vacation. Melinda Bagwell: Went to At lanta and shopped. Kathy Mauldin: Sat in the car at the beach and watched it rain. “One morning on our quad, a bewildered freshman saw her bi ology professor approaching. Un able to bypass him and unsure by what title to address him, she blurted out, ‘Good Murdock, Dr. Morning.’ Apparently without no ticing anything at all unusual, he replied, ‘Good Murdock, my dear.’ ” Bells Are Imported Yankee Talespinners hy B.

Their tales of Yankeeland would make the most honey-smacking lovely be glad she’s in Appalachia. Ken, a music major, looks more like a football tackle. Pat is blond, petite, and well-liked by seniors at Mars Hill High School. They both find life in Mars Hill not a great deal different from that in New Jersey. “Those who think the North is a mass of metropolitan area are wrong,” said Ken; “It’s not!” Pat has never before lived in the city limits, and Ken’s community was composed of his grandfather’s general store and a service sta tion. “There is a constant rivalry be tween north and south Jersey,” said Pat. “They have two distinct ly different standards.

Some of them are totally unedu cated or semi-literate. Persons living in the remote parts, near the bay, make their living by fish ing, trapping, hunting and farm ing. Pat’s grandfather was an old sea captain, briney in spirit and wit. When Pat was plagued vrith warts, he had her rub a green potato with a prenny, and then rub the penny on the warts. Then she buried the potato and threw the penny away. “It didn’t work,” she said. Ken’s Uncle Joe, twice-re moved, put a dirty sock around his nephew’s sore throat; but to this day, Ken can’t figure out whether it was the smell or the sock that cured his malady. Ken is an avid sportsman. In fact, Pat must be a good sport too, because they went camping at Blackwater Falls, W. Va., on their honeymoon. It was Pat’s first camping experience, and they enjoyed it so much they they have camped many times in the past two years throughout South ern New Jersey. The Bells have a lot more stor ies to tell; they even have stories about Mars Hill to take back to the home folks. There was the time that Pat was stomping bushes to scare out rabbits for Ken and instead attracted a big bull, com ing full speed toward her . . . And the time they were mistaken for students at a high school foot ball game and told to be quiet. The most amusing story of all was when they were first coming to Mars Hill and rode up to the Esso station, down on the Ashe ville highway and asked, “Is this (the store) Mars Hill?”
