foreword 

The  Laurel  is  a  book  of  memories  from  Mors  Hill  College. 
Into  a  few  short  pages  you  will  find  crammed  a  year's  life.  The 
whole  story  can't  be  found  here,  only  pieces,  moments  designed 
to  jog  a  thought,  a  remembrance. 

The  time  for  remembering  is  not  1967;  the  past  is  still  linked 
with  the  present.  Skim  the  pages  for  now,  the  pictures  ore  to  be 
laughed  at  and  enjoyed. 

But  when  the  mist  of  time  clouds  the  memory  and  you  are 
for  from  these  mountains.  The  Laurel  will,  for  a  moment, 
transport  you  bock  across  time  and  distance.  You  will  catch 
the  face  of  a  friend,  a  roommate,  a  fovorite  teocher.  Then 
there  will  be  a  smile,  perhaps  a  tear,  but  always  a  memory.  .  .

September — it  all  began 

0  void  to  be  filled  with  new  life 

a  new  life  to  be  shocked  into  reality 

acquisition  of  headaches,  fear,  brain  wrinkles 

satisfaction,  depression,  friendships,  faith  and  love 

rejection  of  outmoded  ideas,  despair,  ourselves 

prejudices,  and  the  fear  of  being  rejected 

everything  top  priority,  a  false  state  of  nothingness 

>. 
would  you  believe 

hoarseness  and  excitement  brew  in  the  lions  den 

a  quick  trip  down  the  road — that  first  quiz 

empty  mail  boxes — an  endless  maze  of  umbrellas 

anxious  wait  for  rush  invitations — our  morning  hymn  is 

why? — ^why  not?    quiet  walks  through  nonlondon  fog 

bridge  hands  grossly  underbid 

papers,  money,  luck  always  overdue 

Winston,  marlboro,  kent,  salem,  etc. 

that  moment  of  realization  and  reassurance 

beauty  and  life,  hand  in  hand 

youth  at  its  fullest 

a  young  man — a  young  woman 

a  time  to  live,  a  time  to  cry 

a  time  to  sow,  a  time  to  laugh 

a  time  to  reap,  a  time  to  question 

a  time — a  place 

an  endless  circle  often  out  of  proportion 

striving  to  be  well  rounded 

see  you  in  September

The  19IW  lainri  i^  dc.li<;iu-.l  u,  ,,  in.in  wlu.sc-  rcconl  ol  service  1"  Mars  Hill  College  speaks 
lor  ilseli.  His  hours  ol  ^u>yk  ^o  inuouiued;  he  makes  no  ineiui.>n  of  them.  In  his  work  as 
adviser  lo  the  lainri  and  the  /n///o/),  he  serves  as  phof.grapher  and  <  h.el  moiale  booster,  while 
assisting  in  all  areas  ol  pidjlication. 

Siiue  joining  the  t.. liege  stall  in  1951,  he  has  accepted  responsibility  willingly  and  has  carried 
out  his  duties  in  a  truly  superior  manner,  maintaining  at  all  times  a  ivarmih  and  friendliness 
of  spirit  that  is  uniquely  his  own.  An  alumnus  ol  Mars  Hill  himself,  he  l.o^v  superMses  all  alumni 
work.  In  addition,  he  is  in  charge  of  all  publications  ,ind  nearly  all  college  publicity.  His 
title  ol  Director  ol   I'liblic    Inlormation  seems  hardh   adecpiatc  to  cover  the  scope  of  his  work. 

Because  of  his  dedicated  service,  his  never  ending  cooperation,  and  his  sincere  interest  in 
young  people  .  .  .  we,  the  students,  respectfully  .  .  .  and  gratefully  dedicate  the  J 967  laurel  to 
Mr.  Walter  Smith.

dr.  fred  Make  benlley 
president  of  mars  hill  college 

The  inauguration  of  Dr.  Fred  Blake  Bentley  brought  to  Mars  Hill  College  the  dawn 
ot  a  new  era.  Durmg  his  first  few  months  in  office,  Dr.  Bentley  has  instilled  in  campus  life 
his  own  desire  for  "emphasis  on  excellence."  He  was  unanimously  elected  to  succeed  the  re- 
d'^^'.'^j  ^°^'  Blackwell.  The  new  president,  a  native  of  Roanoke,  Virginia,  received  his 
B.iVI.  degxee  from  Baylor  Uni^'ersity,  his  M.  R.  E.  degree  from  Southern  Baptist  Theological 
Seminary,  and  his  Ed.D.  degree  from  Indiana  University.  In  addition,  he  did  research  at 
the  Institute  Pedagogigue  National  in  Paris. 

His  youth,  energy,  and  cinalities  of  leadership  along  with  his  dedication  to  serve  have 
earned  for  Dr.  Bentley  the  respect  and  admiration  of  the  students  as  well  as  the  faculty  and 
staff.  Dr.  Bentley  seems  to  adhere  to  the  belief  that  there  is  a  bright  future  in  store  for 
those  yoinig  people  who  are  willing  to  prepare  for  it.

"On  a  (;kni  l)a\"  plans  loi  the  I9(i7  "Miss  Lauicl"  Pagcaiil  Ijcf^an.  Scvciilccn  lo\cI)  and 
tak'nii-il  toiucstants  were  ihoscn  ti)  leprcsenl  the  various  ilormiloiies  and  (lasses.  Each  girl 
hopehillv  planneil  her  talent  and  larclully  selected  her  evening  gown.  Three  experienceil  judges 
were  chosen  loi  the  panel  that  woidd  select  the  new  cjueen:  Mr.  Tuck  Gudger  from  Asheville, 
who  had  pre\iously  judged  "Miss  South  (Carolina"  and  "Miss  Illinois"  pageants;  Mrs.  Teresa 
Bauconi  Iroiii  Waynesville,  \\lio  liad  been  "Miss  dharlotle,"  and  .Senator  Bruce  Briggs  Ironi 
Mars   Hill. 

Rehearsals  were  lew  and  lar  hetween,  but  each  (onlcslaul  reluscd  to  betonic  discouraged  and 
seemed  determined  to  represent  her  class  or  dorniiion  well.  Suddenly  "On  a  Clear  Day"  became 
a  reality  and  no  longer  a  dream.  The  stage  was  set  and  the  auditorium  was  full.  Contestants 
began  singing,  acting,  and  smiling  their  way  through  the  ])ieliniinary  rounds  of  judging.  With 
tension  mounting,  the  judges  chose  five  finalists:  Beverly  (Pansier,  the  representative  from 
Spilman  Dormitory:  Janis  Elam,  the  representative  from  the  Junior  Class:  Cornelia  Akers,  the 
representative  from  Stroup  Dormitory;  Ann  Peebles,  the  representative  from  Fox  Dormitory;

1967  miss  laurel  pageant 


As  quesiions  were  asktd  ol  eacli  (il  the  five  finalists,  "On  a  Clear  Day"  was 
rapidly  reaching  an  exciting  climax.  The  judges,  impressed  by  the  beauty  and 
talent  of  the  girls,  managed  at  last  to  dioose  the  first  runner-up  —  Janis  Elam. 
Finally  came  the  long-awaited  announcement  of  the  new  "Miss  Laurel"  who 
was  as  bright  as  the  sun  in  the  sky  "On  a  Clear  Day."  She  was  contestant  number 
four,  Miss  Beverly  Cansler.  As  the  audience  rose  U)  its  feet  in  a  standing 
ovation,  the  new  "Miss  Laurel"  smiled  through  tears  of  joy  and  surprise 
beginning  her  reign  as  yearbook  queen. 

Much  of  the  success  of  the  1967  Miss  Laurel  Pageant  can  be  attributed  to 
the  efforts  of  Bill  Carter,  general  director  of  the  event.  His  work  began  early 
in  the  fall  and  continued  through  long  months  of  planning  and  preparation 
climaxed  by  the  pageant  itself.  His  cooperation  and  patience  were  invaluable 
in  the  production  and  presentation  ol  this  exciting  event.

Each  Tall  there  comes  lo  Mais  Hill  an  air  oi  excitement  which 
unmistakably  spells  Homecoming.  Homecoming  1966  will  doubtless  go 
down  as  one  of  the  most  memorable  of  all  time.  Not  only  did  the 
college  preserve  the  traditions  of  this  special  event,  but  also  combined 
them  with  the  inauguration  of  a  new  president. 

The  weather  was  beautiful  and  so  was  the  Queen,  Miss  Brenda  Dunn, 
a  senior  English  major  from  Clinton.  She  was  crowned  by  Dr.  Bentley 
in  one  of  his  first  duties  as  the  new  president.

honor  clubs 


Honor  clubs  have  always  played  an  important  part  on  the  Mars  Hill 
campus.  Membership  in  the  clubs  is  by  invitation.  In  order  for  a  student  to 
receive  an  invitation  he  must  have  a  B  average,  at  least  thirty  quality  points,  and 
no  grade  lower  than  a  C.  Meetings  are  held  monthly  and  students  are  given  an 
opportunity  to  gather  insight  into  their  fields  of  special  interest  by  coming 
together  and  sharing  ideas.  They  are  often  given  a  chance  to  hear  outstanding 
speakers  or  participate  in  off-campus  field  trips.  Active  honor  club  members 
find  the  experiences  afforded  by  the  club  to  be  both  rewarding  and  memorable.

The  purpose  of  student  government  is  to  advance  the  education  and  growth  of  the  individual  by  giving  stu- 
dents the  opportunity  and  responsibility  of  governing  themselves. 

The  four  years'  existence  of  this  organization  has  shown  that  students  can  and  will  assume  the  task  of  governing 
themselves  seriously;  however,  much  work  is  yet  to  be  done.  The  percentage  of  those  students  who  are  willing  to 
take  responsibility  not  only  for  themselves  but  also  for  the  betterment  of  the  group  needs  to  be  greatly  expanded 
This  is  an  area  in  which  S.G.A.  must  strive.  Through  the  continuing,  purposeful  efforts  of  both'students  and  in- 
terested faculty  and  administrative  staff  members,  student  affairs  will  be  handled  more  and  more  effectively. 

As  in  the  past  years  the  student  government  has  increased  its  activities.  Rat  Week,  the  Emory  &  Henry  bus 
trip,  and  an  enlarged  Derby  Day  were  the  projects  of  S.G.A.  The  Christmas  projects  included  sending  S250  via 
Billy  Graham  to  the  soldiers  in  Viet  Nam  and  a  Christmas  party  for  some  underprivileged  children  in  the  com- 
munity. b.G.A.  helped  establish  an  English-speaking  library  at  Corvallis  Colle,ge  in  Chile  by  sending  books  collected 
from  tlie  student  body.    Other  projects  included  the  initiation  of  a  car  wash,  a  study  room,  and  a  President's  Council.

Ptihajjs  the  most  distinguished  honor  a  student  can  receive  at  Mars 
Hiil  is  that  of  serving  as  a  College  Marshal.  Sixteen  students  receive 
tliis  honor  each  year. 

The  ,\cademic  Standards  Committee  chooses  the  eight  men  and 
eight  women  with  the  school's  highest  quality  point  ratio.  These  selec- 
tions are  carefully  checked  and  approved  by  the  faculty.  Each  spring 
they  are  installed  for  a  one-\ear  term. 

College  Marshals  have  the  distinct  honor  ol  ushering  at  graduation 
and  receiving  college  guests.  They  serve  the  students  by  ushering  at 
recitals,  plays,  movies,  seminars,  and  all  other  formal  and  informal 
activities  on  campus.

The  Hilltop  is  Mars  Hill  College's  only  newspaper.  It  is  written,  edited,  and  pub- 
lished twice  monthly  by  sttidents.  It  is  designed  to  ftirther  communication  among  ad- 
ministration, faculty,  and  students.  It  serves  also  to  report  news  of  campus  social  and 
culttiral  events  as  well  as  general  interest  features. 

Over  the  past  year,  the  Hilltop  has  especially  emphasized  campus  opinion  on  matters 
of  local  and  national  interest.  It  initiated  a  movement  this  year  whereby  it  can  also  function 
as  a  policing  agent  of  student  government,  student  conduct,  faculty  techniques,  and  ad- 
ministrative decisions.  Emphasis  has  also  been  placed  on  making  the  Hilltop's  format  as 
modern  and  clean  as  possible.

It  was  the  opinion  ot  the  19(i7  liiincl  staff  that  the 
greatest  qiiatities  belonging  to  Mars  Hill  College  lie 
in  the  students.  That  is  why  in  this  yearbook  we  have 
sought  to  capture  the  living  elements  of  the  college, 
the  people  who  make  it  what  it  is.  We  tried  a  whole 
new  approach,  adapting  each  page  from  front  co\er 
to  back  so  that  the  new  laurel  is  not  a  carbon  copy 
of  the  countless  volumes  that  preceded  it.  Nor  does 
the  '67  Inurel  mereh  represent  the  physical  aspects — 
the  buildings,  the  campus  itself — but  it  has  attempted 
to  capture  the  heart,  the  very  soul  of  college  life. 

The  1967  laurel  is  different.  It  has  not  been  an 
easy  task  to  achieve  the  things  we  attempted  this  year. 
An  efficient  and  well-organi/ed  staff  was  requited, 
many  hours,  and  much  determination.  The  resufts  are 
rewarding,  however,  and  the  staff  feels  that  the  laurel 
will  be  a  source  of  great  pleasure  to  the  students  now 
as  well  as  in  the  future,  when  memories  from  the 
years  at  Mars  Hill  College  will  stand  out  as  some 
of  the  very  best.

social  service 


sigma    alpha    chi 


Sigma  Alpha  Chi  was  lounded  in  the  spring  ot  1965  as  the 
sister  social-service  sorority  to  Sigma  Kappa  Lambcla.  It  offers 
each  Mars  Hill  coed  a  chance  to  prove  her  sincerit\,  achie\ement 
and  usefulness  to  herself  and  her  fellow  students. 

This  year  the  sisters  of  Sigma  Alpha  Chi.  with  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
James  Jordan  and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  James  Cox  as  sponsors,  chose 
to  wait  until  second  semester  to  conduct  formal  rush.  This 
did  not  handicap  them  at  all  as  they  carried  out  such  successful 
projects  as  making  and  selling  corsages  for  homecoming,  helping 
with  the  presidential  inauguration,  and  adopting  a  South  Viet- 
namese orphan.  They  also  teamed  up  with  Sigiua  Ka]jpa 
Lambda  for  the  annual   fall   formal. 

The  beginning  of  the  second  semester  proved  no  different 
as  the  energetic  sisters  of  Sigma  Alpha  Chi  worked  for  fulfill- 
ment and  enjoyment  in  helping  themselves  and  others.

Sigma  Kappa  Lambda  was  founclec;!  in  the  spring  of  1965  as  the  first 
social-service  Irateinity  on  campus  lor  male  students.  The  three  goals 
of  the  club  are  service,  companionship  and  loyally  to  self,  mankind, 
family,  community,  college,  and  God. 

This  year's  Sigmas,  with  Mr.  Bob  Melvin  and  Mr.  Jack  Grose  as 
sponsors,  began  the  new  school  year  with  high  hopes  and  anticipation 
lor  another  great  year.  Part  of  this  anticipation  became  reaiity  when 
the  yearly  pledge  class  was  chosen.  Plans  began  to  take  shape  for  the 
annual  "fall  fling"  and  other  social  events.  The  brothers  helped  with 
the  presidenti;il  inatiguration  and  homecoming  and  also  helped  to  raise 
money   for   the  Student   Government   Association's   Viet   Nam   fund. 

As  the  second  semester  began,  the  brothers  ol  Sigiria  Kappa  Lambda 
were  determined  to  work  toward  another  successful  semester.  New 
projects  and  activities  were  suggested  and  once  again  vague  plans  began 
to  take  the  form  of  tangible  and  enjoyable  realities.

The  Mars  Hill  College  Band,  iimler  the  baton  ol

excellent  chapel  program.  Its  annual  spring  tour  in- 
clutled  performances  at  schools  and  colleges  in  Western 
North  Carolina,  Tennessee,  and  Kentucky. 

The  Marching  Band,  led  by  Paul  Peninger,  drum 
major,  presented  the  pagentry  of  half-time  at  all  the 
Lion's  hoirre  football  games.  With  new  formations  and 
new  routines  by  the  majorettes,  the  Marching  Band 
helped  build  spirit  in   the  crowds  following  the  Lions.

in  memoriam 


mi .  Joseph  chvooil  lubci  Ls 


Mr.  |.  hlwiiod  Roberts,  associate  prolcssoi  ol  music  and  a  much  beloved  liieiid  of  all, 
died   on   No\eml)cr    17.    1966. 

Ml".  Roberts  became  a  member  ol  the  college  iaciiltv  in  1944  and.  in  his  twent\-two  years 
as  prolessor,  had  infiuenced  many  lives.  His  deep  lo\e  lor  people  was  evidenced  each  day  of 
his  life;  his  cle\'otion  to  God  s])oke  for  itself. 

We  the  students  will  always  remember  him  as  "Mr.  Elwoocl."  He  was  a  devoted  teacher 
and  an  excellent  musician;  but  more,  he  was  a  Christian,  and  our  friend. 

Reverend  John  G.  Hicks,  in  his  eulogy  to  Mr.  Roberts,  portrayed  his  Iriend  well  when 
lie  said: 

He  encouraged  the  downhearted  and  set  them  on  the  road  again. 

He  was  persistently  patient  imtil  the  score  was  learned. 

He  was  what  you  saw,  for  he  knew  no  shame;  he  was  sincere. 

His  heart  was  tender  and  his  eyes  were  full  at  times. 

He  readily  forgave  and  asked  forgiveness  all  along  the  way. 

He  lived  for  others  even  beyond  his  strength,  and  he  was  faithful  to  the  end. 

Such  a  man  was  Elwood  Roberts.

On  September  17  ihe  Mars  Hill  Lions  openeil  their  UKili  lootball 
season  playing  host  to  the  Indians  of  Catawba  College.  The  Indians 
were  favored  to  scalp  the  Lions,  but  Mars  Hill  had  other  things  in 
mind  as  they  jumped  off  to  a  qtiick  l,S-7  first  quarter  lead.  The  Lions 
played  valiantly  and  the  showers  of  rain  did  not  dampen  the  avid 
Mars  Hill  spirit;  but  a  victory  for  the  stubborn  Lions  was  not  meant, 
and  Catawba  slipped  by  Mars  Hill  28-13. 

The  Maryville  College  Scots  invaded  the  Lion's  Den  on  October  1 
with  both  teams  longing  for  the  taste  of  victory.  Maryville  took  a 
H-(l  halftime  lead,  but  in  the  second  half,  the  lions  stiffened  and 
held  the  Scots  to  a  fourth  quarter  field  goal.  The  game  ended  17-0 
in  favor  of  Maryville,  as  Mars  Hill  ivas  unable  to  cope  with  Mary- 
ville's  balanced  offense. 

The  first  road  trip  for  the  Lions  was  to  Jefferson  City,  Tennessee, 
to  meet  the  powerful  Eagles  of  Carson-Newman  College.  The 
previous  meetings  between  these  two  teams  had  producetl  hard- 
fought,  -ivell-played  games  and  this  one  promised  no  less;  however, 
the  Eagles  were  ready  for  this  one  as  they  pro\'ided  a  victory  for  a 
large  homecoming  crowd  at  the  cost  of  the  Lions,  28-0,

The  Lion's  second  journey,  this  lime  lo  Alliens,  West  Virginia, 
proved  lo  be  disaslrous.  Cloncord  Stale  inircased  their  record 
li>  5-0  as  lhe\    ioni|icd  ci\ei    ihc  l.ions    17-7. 

On  ()<lobri  '_'2  ihe  l.ions  iiuaded  I-.nion  and  Henry  College

lull  liisl  name  ol  ilk-  season  in  spile  nl  injuiies  and  a  week 
11  practice  conditions.  The  halltinie  score  stood  7-7,  but 
iIk'  powerlid  Wasps,  who  finished  their  season  9-1,  took  the 
lead  in  tile  third  quarter  and  coasted  to  a  hard  earned  21-7 
\ictory.  However,  the  validity  ol  the  game  is  still  in  cjuestion 
as  the  N.A.I. A.  is  investigating  the  Wasps  eligibility  which  may 
produce  another  victory  lor  the  Lions.  Statistic-wise,  the  Lions 
oul])layed  their  opponents   in   this  game. 

For  their  last  road  game  the  Lions  met  theii  loiinh  small- 
college  power  in  a  row  in  the  lorni  ol  the  Tigers  ol  Georgetown 
College  from  Kentucky.  Once  again  playing  a  good  game  against 
I'ormidable  opposition,  the  Lions  lell  lo  deleat  at  the  hands 
ol  the  Tigers  16-0.

On  November  5  (he  Mars  Hill  campus  was  invaded  by  a 
host  of  welcomed  inauguration  and  homecoming  visitors  and  a 
somewhat  unwelcomed  Western  Carolna  football  squad.  The 
Catamounts  took  advantage  of  the  over-anxious  spirit  of  the 
Lions  and  coasted  to  a  62-0  victory.  The  team,  students,  and 
visitors  were  somewhat  disillusioned,  bin  vowed  that  things 
would  be  different  next  year. 

The  last  game  of  the  long  season  brought  Frederick  College 
of  Portsmouth,  Virginia,  to  the  Mars  Hill  campus.  The  Frederick 
team,  fresh  from  a  homecoming  up-set  over  Randolph-Macon, 
scored  on  the  kick-off  and  many  fans  began  to  prepare  for 
another  long  afternoon.  But  the  fired-up  Mars  Hillians  fought 
back  and  went  on  to  win  the  game  20-19,  thus  ending  Frederick's 
winning  streak.  The  Lions  thereby  ended  the  season  with  the 
sweet  taste  of  victory!

The  Lions  were  given  a  chaiue  Lo  prove  tlieir  mettle  wlien  they  opened 
the  season  on  December  2  at  home  against  the  Braves  of  Pembroke.  The  team 
could  not  find  that  needed  touch  and  (ell  to  the  opponent  100-76.  Three  suc- 
cessive losses  lolloived:  a  hard-fought  98-78  loss  to  the  highly  touted  Eagles  of 
Carson-Newman;  a  lopsided  105-67  loss  to  Tusculum  College,  and  a  99-75  loss 
to  Milligan. 

With  a  longing  for  victory  the  Lions  traveletl  to  Bristol,  Tennessee,  for 
a  match  with  King  College.  Mars  Hill,  led  by  the  "bouncing  Gibson  twins," 
scored  an  impressive  77-7-4  overtime  win  for  its  first  victory  of  the  season. 

On  December  15  the  Lions  closed  out  their  pre-Christmas  schedule  with  an 
important  game  with  Asheville-Biltmore.  Accompanied  by  a  host  of  Lion 
Supporters,  the  team  played  a  great  first  half,  but  fell  in  the  second  to  give  the 
bulldogs  a  84-64  victory. 

A  somewhat  belated  Christmas  jiresent  in  the  form  of  a  101-99  upset  win 
over  the  Tusculum  Buffs  was  an  excellent  way  to  begin  the  new  year.  The  very 
next  night,  the  Lions  trounced  a  less  aggressive  St.  Andrews  ball  club  110-80, 
rolling  in  dieir  third  victory.  On  January  il,  the  cagers  defeated  Nfilligan,  80-79' 
a  team  who  had  beaten  Mars  Hill  earlier  in  the  season.

.\iiei  a  mucli  needed  semester  break,  tlie  Lions  returned  to 
action  on  januaiy  27  against  Pembroke.  The  Uraves  once  again 
proved  to  be  too  mucn  lor  liie  Lions  as  they  romped  to  a 
y2-81  victory.  The  next  niglit.  in  nearby  Laininlnng.  Mars  Hill 
once  again  soimdly  deleated  St.  Andrews   102-85. 

1  he  team  traveled  to  Emory  and  Henry  on  February  2  only 
to  lose  the  game  oir  loul  shots  10-1-87;  however,  two  days  later 
the  Lions  retmned  home  to  score  an  impressive  88-78  win  over 
Maryville  and  set  a  school  record  by  pulling  down  65  rebounds. 

On  February  6  Mars  Hill  students  packed  McConnell  Gym- 
nasitmi  as  the  Lions  tackled  the  highly  touted  W'oHord  Terriers. 
Although  coming  out  on  the  short  end  of  a  77-72  score,  the 
team  broke  the  newly  set  record  of  65  rebounds  by  pulling 
down  71.  For  the  second  consecutive  night,  the  Lions  were 
cheered  on  by  a  mass  of  su])porters  as  they  came  from  behind 
to  nip  Asheville-Biltmore.  72-69. 

The  next  task  facing  the  fast  improving  Lions  was  NAIA 
power  Pikeville.  Mars  FJill  had  upset  the  Bears  last  year  and 
were  determined  to  do  it  again.  But  another  win  was  not  in 
sight  as  the  Kentuckians  blistered  the  Lions  112-64.  .\gainst  the 
Terriers  of  Wofford  in  their  second  meeting,  the  point  spread 
was  again  only  five  points  as  the  South  Carolinians  defeated  the 
Lions  75-70. 

.After  beating  the  Maryville  Scots  89-86,  the  Lions  went  on 
to  another  upset  to  end  the  season.  Romping  over  the  Wasps 
of  Emory  aird  Henry  98-87  in  the  local  high  school  gymnasium 
the  Lions,  proved  that  the  gymnasiuirr  does  not  make  the  team. 
This  game  was  the  swan-song  for  seniors  Bob  and  Bill  Gibson, 
George  Scruggs  and  David  \\'ebster,  and  for  sophomore  Ray 
Randall,  wlio  is  transferring.

Witli  nine  lettermen  returning  and  a  host  of  freshmen  and 
transfer  talent  to  choose  from.  Coach  Don  Henderson's  outlook 
for  the  1967  season  was  bright.  The  Lions  pla\ed  an  eighteen- 
game  schedule  and  enjoyed  their  first  season  as  a  member  of 
N.A.L.A..  District  Number  26.  In  the  last  three  years  of  senior 
college  play,  the  Lions  have  compiled  a  27  and  10  record.  Last 
year  they  ivere  7-3  for  the  season.

who's  who  '67 


"Who's  Who  Among  Students  in  American  Colleges 
and  Universities"  is  a  bound  volume  of  biographical 
sketches  on  outstanding  student  leaders  at  colleges 
and  universities  throughout  the  nation.  This  year 
twenty-three  Mars  Hill  seniors  were  chosen  for  this 
honor. 

Those  selected  were  nominated  by  a  faculty  com- 
mittee and  submitted  to  the  editors  of  the  publication. 
The  candidates  were  chosen  on  the  basis  of  campus 
leadership,  academic  standing,  and  promise  of  future 
usefulness. 

To  have  attained  this  honor  is  an  accomplishment 
of  which  both  the  student  body  and  the  indiviiluals 
can  be  proud.  The  1967  Laurel  salutes  the  following 
persons  for  their  achievements:

editor's  farewell 

The  closing  of  a  year — this  year — is  a  sobering 
experience.  For  some  of  us  at  Mars  Hill  it  is  not  only 
the  close  of  a  year,  but  the  close  of  our  college  career. 
For  all,  the  year's  memories  are  very  precious.  The 
1967  laurel  is  our  means  to  these  memories.  It  is  our 
way  to  capture  the  moments  we  ha\e  shared  together 
this  year.  To  the  outsider  our  laurel  might  have  little 
significance — seeming  to  consist  of  countless  pictures  of 
hundreds  of  faces — meaningless  to  them,  but  everything 
to  us.  One  picture  can  bring  to  us  a  flood  of  memories 
that  recall  the  entire  year's  activities. 

The  1967  laurel  is  a  new  approach — just  a  beginning 
for  a  college  that  needs  to  establish  new  ideas  to  meet 
a  new  era.  It  is  my  sincerest  hope  that  future  students, 
future  editors  will  shape  their  laurel  into  a  book  of 
which  we  all  can  be  proud — a  book  which  holds  our 
most  treasured  memories.
