She always had a way of making people laugh and look at the brighter side of things. I considered Karen one of my best friends. She had a way of looking into my soul with all that psychology she practiced! I will never forget all the times, both good and bad that we had together. She will always be with me, especially now, as I think she is my personal guardian angel.” “Karen brought light into your life when you were feeling down. She could always make you laugh even if she didn’t mean to. She had a kind heart and a gracious soul that I will remember always.” The members of the Hilltop staff would like to extend our deepest sympathies to all of those who love and miss Karen Michele. LiiMsforcl Revisited s^oinmy Dembinsky ** October 1, Mars Hill held the 27th Bascom Lamar Lunsford Festival. ent^'^Uy the Quad was transformed into an to ij ^ y different place. The Quad seemed of an open aired market place ^ We normally know it. As I walked ^ many different craftsmen tfj^j % displaying their works and I walked up the road I saw a lady her sweat-shirts that she added touch to . Each of them were a Couy 3 kind piece of art.As I left her and along I paused to look at a wreath ordinary vines into a lovely Wof^.'''^oss the way 1 spotted a carver o” 3 piece of wood that the shape of a dolphin. He had ^ sc'ts and types of wood. The ^ad on display were beautifully ^ and had exquisite detail to them. '"''Crl ^ continued on my trek I around me and saw many sorts of carvers, musicians, and other folks '''Ql^^^j'cred to help share the history of the ^ ^ happened to stumble on some sheep by a man spinning wool. I watched the way he took the wool and gently spun it onto the spindle keeping just the right amount of force on it to become a thread. I walked up the path and around a tree and discovered a quilting area. They were shoeing how each block had meant a certain thing and how the blanket told a story. Next to the Quilters were some people talkmg about the Cherokee pottery. They were telling on how to make it, the purpose of it, and the history of the people. The day drew to a close the music portion of the festival was about to begin. At 8:00 p.m. The Lunsford of Mountain Music started. The sounds began to slowly swarm through the theatre. Sounds of violins, banjoes, and other instruments began telling tales of lost loves, found loves, and deceased loves. All the bands that performed truly showed what mountain music was about. Mountain music was not the only thing that was featured that night. TTie Bailey Mountain Cloggers also did a stunning display of mountain folk dancing. The three shows they did wooed everyone into watching their graceful and precision stepping on the stage. The night grew longer and the festival came to a close and by all it was considered a success. COLLEGE BILLS GOTCHA IN A BIND?

This is the fifth anniversary of the event, and there will be 35 to 40 recruiters present. This is the largest number of recruiters that Career Day has ever seen. In fact this year, recruiters sought to be represented at Career Day. This is attributed to the excellent reputations that Mars Hill graduates have as part of the work force. All students will be able to meet with representatives of various graduate schools, the armed forces, federal agencies, state agencies, school systems, and other employers. Among those to be represented are the Internal Revenue Service, Jefferson Pilot Investor Service, Prudential Preferred Financial Services, Wachovia Bank, Appalachian State University, Roche Biomedical Laboratories, Inc., and Guilford County Schools. Nancy Harmon, Director of the Career Counseling and Placement Qffice, strongly suggests that Seniors attend and have a resume in hand to present to recruiters, and that they use this opportunity to set up interviews. Juniors need to use this opportunity to seek internships since many recruiters offer internship positions. To be prepared. Juniors should have an outline of what they want to accomplish in their internships. Harmon reminds that Sophomores and Freshmen need to use this opportunity to explore career options, and to see what area of study might interest them. Finally, Harmon hopes that all faculty, staff, and students will use this chance to explore more about the opportunities available to everyone.
