“This magazine has been done
completely by the students,”
added Baskin, “which shows some
revision in administrative policy.
There has been no censoring and
this has put more resp)onsibility
on us to turn out a finished
product because we want to see
the policy continue. The creative
student has had until now, little
motivation to create on his own
time. Cadenza will, we hope, be
come his motivation.”

pianist and piano teacher, Bela

Mars Hillians Appointed
For Journeyman Program
Two of Mars Hill’s graduating
seniors, James Colvin and James
Alexander, have been selected for
appointment as missionary jour
neymen by the Foreign Mission
Board of the Southern Baptist
Convention.
They and a
1961 Mars Hill
graduate. Miss
Faye Stone of
Rustburg, V a.,
were among 49
young men
and women ap
proved by the
FMB on Apr.
COLVIN
Colvin, a religion major from
Reidsville, expects to do youth
work in Nairobi, Kenya. Alexan
der, a religion major from Ashe
ville, will do student work in
Tokyo. Miss Stone is going to
Newton Memorial School in Os-
hogbo, Nigeria.
All three appointments, which
are contingent upon the comple
tion of training, are for two years.
The Missionary Journeymen
Program is designated for young
er men and women who have
dedicated themselves to Christian
service and want to serve over
seas two years.
Under the direction and super
vision of career missionaries, they
share their Christian Faith and
perform specific jobs, thus as
sisting and freeing the career
missionaries for other responsi
bilities.
The program, somewhat akin in
philosophy and history to the
government’s Peace Corps, was
just instituted last year with the
appointment of 46 persons.
An eight-
week training
period for the
new appointees
will begin June
18 on the cam
pus of Virginia
Intermont Col
lege at Bristol.
They hope to
be in their
areas of service by early fall.
Colvin says he expects to re
turn from the journeyman as
signment and continue his educa
tion in preparation for becoming
a pastor in the United States.
ALEXANDER
N, C. Symphony Plays Here Tonight
The North Carolina Symphony,
under the direction of Dr. Benja
min Swalin, will present its an
nual concert at 8:30 p.m. today in
Moore Auditorium.
Guest soloist for the evening
will be Mrs. Jayne Winfield
Reich, pianist, who first per
formed with the famed orchestra
when she was 10.
A native of Washington, N. C.,
Mrs. Reich — then Jayne Win
field — won the Junior Auditions
in 1946 and subsequently played
with the orchestra in its chil
dren’s concerts for nine seasons.
A homemaker and mother of
three sons, Mrs. Reich still studies
piano, currently with Daniel Eri-
court, artist in residence at UNC
in Greensboro.
Her performance with the Sym
phony tonight will be “Concerto
for Piano and Orchestra in C
Minor, No. II, Op. 18” by Rach
maninov.
Dr. Swalin and the state-spon
sored symphony orchestra are
currently making the 21st annual
state-wide tour.
Editors-in-chief for the 1967
Laurel and for the Hilltop of the
1966-67 school year were named
this week by the advisor to both
publications, Walter Smith.
Rising senior Judi Ellis of
Lincolnton will direct the work of
the 1967 yearbook; and Clarence
Young, rising junior from Weaver-
ville, will edit the 15 issues of
this bi-weekly student newspaper
during the coming year.
The appointments were an
nounced at this time, Smith said,
in order that the two new editors
might begin work this semester
in organizing their staffs and
making plans for the coming
year.
The normal procedure in pre
paring the yearbook is for a pre
liminary staff to meet near the
close of the spring semester, dis
cuss their ideas for the next
year’s edition and transmit their
ideas to a professional layout
artist.
During the summer he drafts a
preliminary layout, which he will
submit to the staff at the opening
of the fall term. Minor changes
and corrections can be made at
that time.
The project demands a large
staff, and the new editor will an
nounce plans for an initial meet
ing soon. It will be open to all
rising seniors, juniors and soph
omores.
Miss Ellis, who is majoring in
English and education and min-
oring in German, aspires to a
career in magazine journalism.
She worked on the staff of the
student yearbook in her high
school and is presently associate
editor of the 1966 Laurel.
She has had several years of
art training and is especially in
terested in design and layout.
A year-round student at Mars
Hill, she hopes to complete the
usual four-year load in three. She
will attend the 1966 summer
school and is already making
plans to devote some time this
summer to work on the 1967
Laurel.
The publication will be en
graved by Roanoke Engraving
Co. of Roanoke, Va., and printed
by Commonwealth Press in Rad
ford, Va. The cover will be pro
duced and the binding done by
Kingsport Press of Kingsport,
Tenn.
Young, currently advertising
manager and also a reporter for
the Hilltop, is a graduate of
North Buncombe High School. He
hopes to obtain additional train
ing in journalism after he fin
ishes Mars Hill and eventually
go into some branch of the pro
fession although he is not yet de
cided on a specific area.
Virtually all staff positions on
the paper are open for 1966-67.
Anyone interested in joining the
staff should contact Young per
sonally or leave name, address
and area of interest in the Hill
top office.
The Hilltop is printed by Bilt-
more Press of Asheville.
The staffs of the two publica
tions share office space in the
Montague Building.
