The lab is botany, but freshman Paul Wright is more interested in
zoology in the form of a Thanksgiving bird. Quite a few students
are having similar trouble. It’s mighty easy to daydream a bit in class
during these last few days before Thanksgiving holidays.

President Hoyt Blackwell did
his “shopping” at Sears last week
—figuratively, at least—and came
away with a bargain.
C. J. Dolan, manager of the
Sears-Roebuck store in Asheville,
presented Dr. Blackwell with a
check for $1500, Mars Hill’s
share of a $1 million bundle the
Sears-Roebuck Foundation is giv
ing to 600 colleges and universi
ties across the nation, including
18 others in North Carolina.
The foundation made no re
strictions on how the money is to
be used. Dr. Blackwell did not
say specifically how it will be
used; but since the college is cur
rently seeking funds to build the
new gymnasium, it can be as
sumed that the money will go to
that project. The huge structure
will cost nearly $1,500,000 by the
time it is completed in early 1967.
The grant was the second Mars
Hill has received in the founda
tion’s program of continuing aid
to privately supported colleges
and universities. In 1963 the
Club Chooses 15
Fifteen coeds, including five
freshmen, have been initiated

They include Marsha Walker,

award was 500 shares of Com
monwealth Edison stock.
In addition to the $1 million
distributed directly to the col
leges the foundation will spend
another $750,000 during the cur
rent year for a variety of scholar
ship programs and similar aid
projects in higher education.
Donan, who represents the
foundation in the Asheville area,
is the father of sophomore Randy
Dolan.

Trustees
Appointed

McCall of Lenoir, Mrs. Burette
Myers of Statesville, Dr. Robert

Baird of Charlotte, Mrs. E. N.
Carr of Hickory, C. C. Harrell of
Morganton, Carl Meares of Fair
Bluff, the Rev. Elwood Orr of
Forest City, Robert Wrenn of Gas

business of the college. W. R.

rent board chairman.

A stimulating Thanksgiving
holiday in the company of other
young people from around the
world is in store for Mars Hill
College sophomore Dalen Chiang,
a native of China.
Dalen’s attendance at the ninth
annual International Student Re
treat at Camp Betsy-Jeff Penn
in Reidsville will be sponsored
by the Mars Hill BSU.
The retreat, Nov. 24-28, boasts
a program carefully planned to
include a balance of lectures, dis
cussions, recreation, entertain
ment and free time. An interna
tional talent show on Saturday
evening promises to be a high
light.
Two renowned speakers are on
schedule for the retreat. They are
Dr. V. E. Devadutt, professor of
world Christianity at Colgate
Rochester Divinity School; and
Dr. Luther Copeland, former mis
sionary to Japan, now assistant
professor of missions at South
eastern Baptist Theological Semi
nary in Wake Forest.
Naturally the retreat menu in
cludes turkey and all the trim
mings traditionally associated
with Thanksgiving.
Contributions from the WMU
of North Carolina, the Student
Department of the N. C. Baptist
State Convention and the Stu
dent Department of the Sunday
School Board in Nashville, Tenn.,
help finance the retreat and make
it possible for students to attend
economically.
The nominees include Fran
Walker and Loy Baird of the
senior class; Linda Walker and
Diane Freeman of the junior
class; Janice Elam and Cammy
McDonald of the sophomore class;
Avery Poplin and Brenda Gail
Smith of the freshman class;
Carolyn Robinson, choice of the
commuters; Mary Shepard, Brown
Dormitory’s representative; Bon
nie Harris, Melrose’s selection;
Gail Motley of Stroup; Judy
Elaine Henson, choice of Treat;
Ann Johnson, Spilman’s nominee;
Penny Crayton of Pox; Ann
Peebles, representing Myers; Ann
R. Cantrell of Huffman; and
Pam Culler of Edna Moore.
This year’s pageant, directed
by Jim Alexander, will be dif
ferent from the three previous
ones in several respects. First,
the dimension of talent has been
substituted for a display in street
clothes. Each of the girls will
have three minutes for talent
presentation, and each will also
appear in full length evening
gown.
This year’s pageant will also be
different with regard to the
judging. A three-member panel
already includes state senator
Clyde Norton of Old Fort and
Bill Glen, who served as judges
chairman for last summer’s “Miss
Asheville” contest.
The third judge will be Mrs.
Robert E. Riddle, formerly of
Spartanburg, now of Asheville,
wife of a Mars Hill alumnus. She
has been a model for several
years and assisted in the “Miss
Asheville” pageant the last two
years.
The three will chose five final
ists and then pick “Miss Laurel,”
announcing their choice immedi
ately. In previous pageants seven
finalists have been judged later
by another person and the winner
not announced until the yearbook
was dedicated in the spring.
“We are changing this aspect,”
Alexander explained, “to gpve the
title more meaning and to allow
the girl who wears the crown to
enjoy a longer reign. We hope
‘Miss Laurel’ will be given the
attention she deserves at home
coming and other major events
during the school year.”
“Miss Laurel of 1965” will
comment on the attire of this
year’s nominees as they parade
across a specially-built runway
in the auditorium; however,
Alexander is keeping the name
of his master of ceremonies sec
ret until the curtain rises.
The Stage Band, directed by
Wayne Pressley, will provide
background music for the pag
eant and play at intermission.
Theme of the program will not
be selected until each contestant
has indicated what her talent dis
play will be. This is to avoid dup
lication.
Rick Cothran will serve as
lighting technician and stage
manager for the production.
A rehearsal for the contestants
and other personnel involved will
be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 5,
but will not be open to the public.
