Hilltopper
Moves Ahead
The staff of the Hilltopper
reports that it is progressing
as planned in its work on the
1970 volume of MGC's year
book. All classes pictures
have been made and organiza
tions group pictures will be
made in January.
Editor Carl Bailey says he
is particularly pleased with
the number of freshmen who
joined the staff this year.
A yearbook staff with num
erous freshmen is par
ticularly effective, according
to Bailey, because these
freshmen have vital year
book experience when they
become sophomores.

includes the following stu-
bents: Editor, Carl Bailey;
Co-Editor, Theresa Hendon;
Faculty Editor, Mary Jenkins;
Classes Editors, Cissy Can
non and Mary Beavers; Fea
ture Editor, Amy English;

Jones and John Brady; Sports
Editor, Terry Hurd; Photo
grapher, Robert Yeager; and
Typist, Freiya Wester.

land, Janice Keene, Susie li-
gon, Tommy Martin, Claudette

VESPERS
The sole purpose of this
article is to inform the stu
dents of the Vesper Services
that are held every Wednesday
night at 6:30 in the Walker
Auditorium. It seems that
the attendance for the vespers
is not as high as was expected.
The directors of those ser
vices were concerned and took
a survey to try and find out
just why the students were
not attending.
When asked, most of the
students replied with these
reasons: lack of time, dis
interest, studying, and for
getfulness. However, the most
often used reason was thatthe
students were not well enough
informed about the vespers.
For this reason, the Kernal
is publicizing these services.
All denominations are
represented and a different
speaker will speak each week.
So, let this be a special in
vitation for you to come and
see what goes on and give
yourself a chance to join in.
WESTMINISTER
FELLOWSHIP
Westminister Fellowship is
a club that meets every Thurs
day night at 6:30 p.m, in
Walker Hall. It is sponsored
by the Presbyterian Church of
Eastman. The officers elected
for this year are: Pat
Williamson, President; Randy
Bartlett, Vice-President;
Karen Anderson, Secretary-
Treasurer, and Reporter.
Some of the programs that

cussions concerning drugs,
the generation gap, marriage,
and sex education.
Everyone is invited to
attend.
HOBO'S
PAKTY
On Thursday, November 6,
at the Community House in
Cochran, the Baptist Student
Union of MGC hosted a HOBO
PARTY for its members. The
party was to announce and
crown the winner of the “Mr.
Ugly” contest. Surely you
noticed Lanier Buford, James
Thomas, Ken Danuser, Bobby
Evans, Robert Yeager and
Brian Odomtryingdesperate-
ly to win the contest. They
pleaded, begged, cried, and
even did tricks to collect
enough money to gain the
crown. Each penny counted
as one vote and these boys
were very determined to get
all the pennies that they could.
Ken Danuser, collecting
$66.01 was the most success
ful and was hailed as “Mr,
Ugiy-69.’’
The entertainment for the
party included several duets
and two comedy skits pre
sented by Phyllis Law, Judy
Gardner, Mickey Garnto, Ka
ren Self, and Judy Ann Smith.
The $206.40 that was raised
during the campaign will be
sent to the Georgia Baptist
Convention to help sponsor
students from Georgia to do
missionary work for the
summer.
The members of the BSU
wish to express their appre
ciation for the support the stu
dents and faculty gave them
during this project.
