GRADUATING CLASSES PRESENT PLAY SHORTER CATECHISM CONTESTS M.N.S. Student Appointed to District C. E. Office Marguerite White, one of the faithful workers in the Christian Endeavor Society, was recently appointed superintendent of the Comrades of the Quiet Hour and Life Recruits of Western North Carolina. We appreciate this honor coming to our school and are sure that Marguerite will pel term her duties faithfully in this special line. The graduating classes of the Montreat Normal, presented on Saturday evening, May 30th. some scenes from the famous play of Oliver Goldsmith, She Stoops to Conquer. This play is notable for being one of the first two plays to sur- vive after the passing of the great Shakespearian era, more than a century and a half before, the other one being The Rivals by Sheridan. Its rolicking. whole- some English fun makes it an excellent drama for youth to pre- sent, and the young ladies of the Normal acquitted themselves creditably in what was to many of them, their first histronic at- tempt. WINNERS OF LATIN PRIZES Lost — one shoe shine — Lamar Woodward. Mrs. J. 1. Miller, teacher of Latin, offered prizes in her vari- ious classes at the beginning of school, to the ones who should acquire the largest Latin vocab- ulary by the end of the year. Much interest has been manifest- ed in chis phase of the work throughout the session and all congratulate the winning pupils. The prizes are souvenirs direct from Rome, having been pur- chased last summer by Mrs. Webb, our former Bible teacher, while she was touring the con- tinent. The fortunate winners in these contests are: first year class, Cumi Rhodes: second year class, Kathleen Wallace; third year class, Elizabeth Hamilton fourth year class, Elizabeth Wor- i all. As an incentive to the study of the Shorter Catechism, in Oc- lober a house party was prom- ised by Mrs. C. E. Dorsey, to all those who would memorize the Catechism in four weeks. Many entered the contest, but only three of the girls finished it in the required time; Florence Miller, Evelyn Roberts and Lu- ciie Gladney, the latter perform- ing the unusual feat of reciting the entir e Catechism after a study of only five days. These three girls had a most enjoyable week-end at Twin Oaks, the hos- pitable home of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Dorsey. Again in the spring, Mrs. Dor- sey repeated her offer and 12 girls qualified for the house- party, which was held during the Easter holidays. The 12 suc- cessful contestants were Mae Kent, Laura Dillingham, Kath- leen Wallace, Vela Smith, Elaine Hatchell, Alice Daniels, Eliza- beth Twitty, Ruby Burton and Marion Cole. These girls were entertained as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey for a week-end house- party and were loud in their praises of the good time they en- joyed. Mr. Perrin Huggins, of Rich- mond, Va., was a visitor to Mon- treat the last week of school. Dr. Marjery J. Lord has been away two weeks on a visit to Bridgeport, Conn., and attending the American Medical Associa- tion which met this year at At- lantic City. THE SUN DIAL FRIENDS TO US IN A SPECIAL WAY We are often inclined to think of the student body as The School. and the faculty as only a secondary feature, but if we consider what our teachers have done for us, what they are doing for us, and what they will mean to us in our future lives, we will soon realize that, after all, per- haps this all-important student body could not very well do with- out them. Besides the fact that they have unceasingly striven to inject enough learning to make us appear respectfully educated in the eyes of the world, we might also say that each one of our teachers has rendered us some peculiar service for which we are especially indebted to him or her. Through this whole school year Mr. Woodward has been like a father to us, always ready with help and advice, always tak- ing the most heartfelt interest in our joys and sorrows, and. in short, doing everything possible to make this school seem like a real home to us. Mrs. Woodward has ever been ready to give us kind and wise advice. It was she who planned a birthday celebration each month. She has also spent much time and energy in helping us edit this little paper, which might never have been done but for her efforts. What can we not say of Mrs. Dorsey who has worked so faith- fully in helping us learn the shorter catechism and many por- tions of the Bible or of Miss Belk who has been teaching both a Sunday School class and a mis- sion study class? What has Miss Crocheron not done in forwarding the work of the Christian Endeavor Society, by helping us prepare programs, make posters, and by teaching the Christian Endeavor expert class ? We would never be able to say enough for our nurse, Miss Mar- garet Dickinson, who has tended us through every illness, always showing ' a friendly sympathy, and doing everything she could to ease our suffering. Miss McGirt, our domestic science teacher, has done a great deal in teaching us how to cook and sew, to make us more effi- cient housekeepers and home- makers. Miss Miller is the one who has had a most important part in our lives, for it is she who has at- tended to our physical needs and has seen to it that we have had nourishing and well cooked meals three times a day and has pre- pared many picnic lunches that we have enjoyed on all our hikes. The girls who have been tak- ing the normal course, will al- ways remember Miss Dickinson as holding up to them the high- JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET S. L. WOODWARD. PRINCIPAL OF MONTREAT NORMAL SCHOOL est and noblest ideals in teach- ing and which they hope to pass on to their pupils. Mrs. Miller, one of the moth- ers of our faculty .aside from making our studies in Latin most interesting, has contribut- ed much to our home life in the dormitory. We remember es- pecially her marches and drills in physical education period. Miss Watkins. our imi ' , h- l v ' ' lady principal a part of the year, taught us all the good and noble by her precept and example. The only unkind thing she ever did us was leaving us to teach in Cuba. We are grateful to Mr. Farrior for coming to our rescue after Miss Watkins left and helping us finish our Bible course. We thank him for his wise instruc- tion. Dr. Lord, in addition to pre- scribing pills and castor oil, for which we forgive her most heart- ily, has been our fairy godmoth- er and came to help our Athlet- ic Association with bats, balls, mitts and gloves. Miss Hadley, our music teach- er, has been most patient in training our choir and helping in every way with the music for church services, C. E. meetings, and especially for Commence- ment. DR. AND MRS. ANDERSON ENTERTAIN GRADUATES On Tuesday afternoon, May 19 Dr. and Mrs. Anderson enter- tained the graduating classes at their beautiful home, Montozone. On arriving, the guests were greeted by Dr. and Mrs. Ander- son and Mrs. Gaither, and were ushered into the spacious living- room made even more attractive by the beautiful spring flowers here and there. Conversation was enjoyed, to which Dr. An- derson contributed greatly by his never-failing supply of squibs and jokes. Mrs. Anderson took pictures of the classes and pre- sented each girl with what seem- ed to be miniature diplomas tied with ribbons, but when opened, were copies of some beautiful sentiment in verse. Delicious block cream and cake was served and each girl was given a picture of the Alba Hotel tied with class colors. The members of the graduat- ing classes were delighted to have spent this time in the hos- pitable home of Dr. and Mrs. An- deison and to have had a chance to greet Mrs. Gaither, whom they number among their real friends. On Saturday evening, April 18th, the Junior Normal Class delightfully entertained the Se- nior Class, their sponsor, mascot and Mr. and Mrs. Woodward with a banquet at McGraw ' s Cof- fee House. The dining room was most attractive wtih its decora- tions of cut flowers and potted plants and the beautifully ap- pointed banquet table. Great bowls of long stemmed wild vio- lets, the Senior Class flower, were used on the tables in bas- kets tied with fluffy bows of lav- ender tulle. The place cards were dainty little ladies, dressed in the class colors and at each plate were hand painted booklets containing the officers and roll of each class, the program for the evening and the menu. The following program was carried out, Elizabeth Miller act- ing as toastmistress: Welcome Ruby Burton Response Myrtle Foster Toast to Seniors Lynette Green Response John Farrior Last Will and Testament-A yce Frazure Toast to the Woodwards-Zone Campbell Response — Reading- Jessie Jones Junior Class Song- and Tell.

On the morning of April First the student body enjoyed a most delightful surprise when Mr. Woodward announced at break- fast that instead of classes that day all should have holiday and enjoy hiking to Blue Ridge for picnic dinner. At nine o ' clock all the girls and the nine boys of our number set out for Blue Ridge and a glorious day in the woods. About eleven o ' clock all had arrived and, after resting a while a search was made for a place to build a fire, roast weiners and spread lunch. An ideal place was found near a beautiful spring- where there was a large circle of rustic benches in the middle of which was a place for a fire. Miss Miller had prepared a bountiful lunch of all kinds of good things and every one was ready to enjoy the eats after ] the six miles of hiking. The afternoon was spent in games and contests and explor- ing the places of interest around the Blue Ridge grounds. A vote of thanks to Mr. Wood- ward for a most delightful April Fool. THE SUN DIAL Domestic Art Department Gives Exhibit STATISTICS All Round Girl— Vela EVANGELISTIC SERVICES Mr.- The annual reception and ex- hibit of the Domestic Arts was held Saturday afternoon, May 30th, in the Domestic Science Department. The large room was most at- tractive with a profusion of ton. mountain laurel and evergreens. ! As the guests entered they wore served fruit punch and wafers by some of the girls in this de- partment. The front of the room was de- voted to Foods and Cookery. In the center was a table attractive- ly arranged for a buffet lunch- eon. On other tables were dishes of vegetables, salads, cakes, pies and all the good things to a peal to one ' s appetite. All th food was most tempting in its appearance and showed skill its preparation.

Besides the work done by the students there were exhibits showing the evolution of various articles such as spool cotton, scis- sors, teaspoons and of sugar products made from corn. Miss McGirt, the efficient teacher in the department, and her classes deserve much cred for the attractive exhibits whii showed that the students h done a good year of hard w along these special lines.

And love each day their beauties more and more. —Ruth Sikes.

HALL MERCANTILE CO PHONE 57 BLACK MOUNTAIN, N. C. In Memoriam Little did we realize at the be- ginning of the year that our .joy- would so soon be turned to sor- row. The Angel of Death vis- ited our school and took from us one of our choicest spirits, Doris Josey, bright, vivacious, beauti- ful of face and beautiful in character, but our loss is Heav- en ' s gain. Montreat Normal School pays tribute to this one, whom we loved for her genial, happy dis- position ; one whose face was al- ways wreathed in smiles; one whose heart was full of love for others. One of her teachers, who knew her intimately and valued her for her sterling qualities, has often said that in all her inti- mate associations she had never heard Doris say an unkind re- mark about any one. To her loved ones, we would say: Oh, you have had a lovely child. Who is with you now no more, Soon you shall be reconciled When life ' s brief time is o ' er; For Heaven is made of those we love, The beautiful and true ; God has Taken Doris above To build a Heaven for you. Others Just a little whispered prayer, Just a little kindness here, Just a little word of cheer For others. Just a little bit of jest, Just a smile for all the rest Just give it all, your very best To others. —Elizabeth Miller. Mary Kimbrell (addressing- student body) : Girls, you must stop wearing- such short dresses. You must do away with them en- tirely.

A GOOD SPORT of which we are members ; for our community, in which we live, and for our nation, to which we owe our allegiance? Every one admires a good sport, although opinions may vary as to what constitutes good sportsmanship. Conceptions of a good sport are largely governed by one ' s ideals. However, all will agree that to be a good sport, one must be unselfish, loyal and true. Let us consider a few of the requisites of good sportsmanship in school, church, community and nation. In the school it is necessary that one be loyal to the spirit of the school, willing to sacrifice personal pleasures for the gocc of others. In the church, a good sport will stand ready to respond t every call to service, performing willingly and cheerfully every as- signed task In the community, he will see!-: the advancement of his fellov men, ignoring personal gain if it interferes with civic duty. In the nation, sportsmanship demands obedience to law, readi- ness to serve and willingness to sacrifice. History furnishes numerous examples of good sports, one of which we find in Robert E. Lee, who was willing to make person- al sacrifices for the good of oth- ers. When our country was dis- turbed over the slavery question, he made this statement If I had 4,000,000 slaves, I would give them all to save the Union. As bitterly opposed as he was to the division of the United States, he said, If my state secedes, I will take up my lot with her. After the war was over and his prop- erty was gone, he still stood fore- most as a good sport in the eyes of both friends and foe. Al- though he had offers from large corporations, who wanted him to become their head, he refused in order to become the president of a small college that he might train the young men of his own station. Are we going to be good sports in this sense of the word ? Are we going to be willing to make sacrifices of our own per- sonal interests for our school, to which we belong; for our church.

I- - ■ ■ A RESUME September 9, 1924. to June 1, 1925 — nine months of life in a little world apart and yet, after all, a replica of the world at large for whatever we have had in our school life we may find, and shall find, elsewhere. Joy has been ours in large measure. We have reveled in the great natural beauty of Men- treat; we have delighted in the friendships we have formed ; we have rejoiced in the count! blessings that have filled our days. Sorrow has come to us as a school and as individuals, but who of us have not learned, or at ie-ast begun to learn, the truth of Faber ' s words — 111 that He blesses is our good, And unblest good is ill ; And all is right that seems nost wrong If it be His sweet will? Every day lias had its fair portion of work and play. Shall we ever forget the picnics and parties, the long hikes and moun- tain climbs, the boating and the swimming? Shall we ever live to regret the hours we spent in earnest study? Truly the lines have fallen to us this year in pleasant planes. Whatever the details of our lives, however, whatever the emotions and experiences of the school year, we surely cannot have lived the eighty of us under cne roof, without comprehending as never before the meaning of good citizenship. This one thing at least we must have gain- ed in common — a better under- standing of the social group witl its need of law and of obedience to that law if the group is to be be saved from becoming a law- less mob. Down through the blackened forest To the water ' s edge she came, There moon-lit ripples danced And echoed forth her name. Night! I heard them say. Bathed she in that water clear, Sparkling with reflected stars; Then stepped she out upon the bank — Light broke forth in silver bars. Morning! echoed through the hills. Wrapped in deepest wonder, I watched the glorious scene Till Heaven ' s golden sunshine Reigned alone as queen — Queen of a Perfect Daw E. ' N. M. Montreat is beginning to take on new life with so many of the summer visitors coming in and we welcome all our friends back. THE SIN DIAL CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR ACTIVITIES The Christian Endeavor So- ciety of the Montreat Normal, has been a vital force for good in the lives of the girls this ses- sion, not only through the splen- did programs given each Sunday evening, but through the mid- week prayer services and the many social events planned dur- ing the year for the pleasure of the students. There has been keen interest manifested in all phases of the work. Those who have been re- sponsible for planning the pro- grams have been faithful and earnest in their efforts and the ones attending the meetings reg- ularly have been greatly streng- thened and inspired by the good things they have heard. The ones taking part on the programs have done so willingly and capa- bly at all times. Some special phases of the work have been the study class- es held during the year. There was a Christian Endeavor Ex- pert class, a Mission Study class, and a class in Stewardship. All these were well ' attended and much interest manifested in each special work. At the close of the Mission Study class a most im- pressive pageant was presented by those who had taken this study Another interesting feature of the work has been the beautiful posters of each week ' s program, prepared by Florence Harrison, and placed where they could be seen by the public as an adver- tisement of the meeting. A col- lection of these posters will ' ■ sent to the International C. E. Convention to be held in Port- land, Oregon, this spring, and the Montreat Society is expecting to win the first place. At the mid-week prayer serv- ices the Society has had the plea- sure of having talks by several missionaries who have been in Montreat some time during the winter. The Efficiency Chart has been brought up to a high standard after much effort on the part of the officers and sponsor. Tenth Legion pledge cards, Comrades of the Quiet Hour pledge cards, and Christian Endeavor member pledge cards have been signed by a large number of the girls. A social feature of some kind was planned for each month of school ; these consisted of parties appropriate to the season, pic- nics and mountain hikes. All these occasions were entered into whole-heartedly by the Faculty and Student Body and have con- tributed much to the happiness of all. The officers who have so suc- cessfully managed the C. E . So- ciety this year are : William Buckner, President. Annie Bell McDonald, Vice- President. Marguerite White, Cor. Secre- tary. Emilie Miller, Recording Sec- retary. Evelyn McElroy, Treasurer. Miss Crocheron, Faculty Ad- viser. THE STUDENTS ' ORGANIZATION On September 9th our school opened with an enrollment of 90 splendid girls and boys, all ready for work, as evidenced by the look on their faces, and this readiness has been kept up all through the year. On October the 9th we elected our Student Body officers and the attitude of girls toward the officers has been one of helpful co-operation at all times. The spirit of loyalty and the high ideals for which the students stood have been manifest on all occasions and the co-operation of each boy and girl has made our school year a joy. First of all, we stood for Christian princi- ples and we are grateful that each member of the school is a professed Christian and many are planning for definite Chris- tian woi ' k in home or foreign field. Mary Kimbre.ll served as pres- ident of the Student Body this year and we are grateful to her for the splendid way she lias managed all our common inter- ests. Mary is a Senior and has been a member of Montreat Nor- mal for two years. She has won the love and respect of all by her gentle, loving ways and her wil- lingness to always sacrifice her pleasure for what help she might be to some fellow student or teacher. It is with a heavy heart that we bid her farewell and send her out into the great, big world, but we are sure that she will lie blessed in bringing hap- piness to other lives as she has brought to ours. Vela Smith, our vice-president, has been a constant help to each of us and one whose unselfish character has been felt by all. Of her it might truly be said. None knew her but to love her, none named her but to praise. Elizabeth Hamilton, who has served as secretary of the or- ganization, was voted our po- litest girl and she deserves that title w ith all its true meaning of thoughtfulness for others. She has meant much to the school as a whole by her positive influence for good. William Buckner, our faithful treasurer, has been our standby on all occasions. In every thing we undertook, Bill was always ready to lend a helping hand and when things went wrong and no one else seemed to know what to do we could always count on i him for a helpful suggestion. As we come to the close of our school year, we hope that some one can say of us, They tr their best. We hope, too, that we have been able to make some life just a little brighter and may we face all our tasks with the same determination that we have gone about our work this Now we come to end of our happy year, Near the time for departing, too, But it leaves a thought that is big and strong, With a wish that is kind and true. For memory has painted this happy year With colors that never fade. And we find at the end a thought so dear — The thought of the friends we have made. THE SPIRIT OF MONTREAT NORMAL SCHOOL It was just a small school sit- uated in one of the prettiest spots of the world but an ideal place in every respect. There was everything to make the girls happy, and happy they were most of the time. Yet there was a day in their life at school that loomed up as a nightmare. In this tiny cove there was a most beautiful figure that glid- ed here and there through th buildings and campus, leaving sunshine in her wake and scat- tering smiles to the entire com- munity. She was only a small image, clad in a long, shimmer- ing white robe and her face seemed to betray her inmost thoughts and feelings. One could always find her in a room of darkness and sorrow but when she did come gloom was always dispelled. She was present in every activity of the school : in both societies she took part, in Christian Endeavor she gave her best ; she was an active member in the athletic association play- ing in every game : she sang in the choir, was a member of the church and attended Sunday School regularly while she rigor- ously upheld all the other reli- gious activities. Last, but not least, she was a member of the wonderful student body and here as well as elsewhere her loyal support was felt. Myriads ' of light seemed to herald her ap- pearance and she was welcome everywhere by the ' parliament of wits as well as by the very wis- est. One day the sky was dark and misty and gloom reigned su- preme. There was a flurry in the buildings to straighten mat- ters. Here and there girls hur- ried to classes that were dry and uninteresting; to meetings ' that were complete failures, and to games that were played only to be lost. Nothing seemed to go right from the minute the day dawned to the close. Something- was missing and no one knew what. There were tears in some girls ' eyes as they realized that a whole day, had been wasted while other girls moped around without any definite aim in sight. Groups of girls huddled together mourning the loss of a day and the incident approach of disaster while others quarrel- ed and fussed over mere triviali- ties. Some of the braver girls decided to make an investigation to see what had happened to ruin their day — to oppress their feelings and to cloud each mo- ment with unhappiness. In and out they searched until they were about to give up their at- tempt as fruitless when one of the girls spied a little crumpled heap in the fartherest corner of the dark attic. It was such a dirty, crushed heap that it was hardly distinguishable, but the beautiful face that loomed up from tlie midst could not be mistaken. She was the maiden of sport, truth, love, sincerity, kindness, happiness, co-opera- tion and Christianity that had been cruelly pushed out of the lives of the girls and crowded into the dirty corner. No wonder the day had been a failure when the sunshine of the school had been so excluded from all. The girls helped her up, brushed off her robes and walked witli her to her room where they left her to change her garments and prepare for the morrow. The next day the sun came out in all its glory. Laughter w-as heard all through the rooms and corridors of the building and the girls went about their several tasks with light hearts and airy steps. That day was remembered for many, many years because peace had been re- stored, laughter, happiness and contentment installed and every- thing was at last in harmony. No wonder, for the beautiful maiden was again treading soft- ly around and everyone was happy in having back the glo- rious spirit of the Montreat Nor- mal School. LITERARY SOCIETY The two Literary Societies, Tritonia and Philathea, have done good work during the ses- sion. One phase of their activi- ties, that all have enjoyed, has been the special programs given on Saturday mornings at chapel by the Societies in turn. They have planned many stunts and plays that have delighted their audiences. Lost — one piece of chewing gum a month old from under my bed. Finder please return to Florence Beck and receive re- ward.

THE SUN DIAL BASKETBALL TEAM TENNIS PLAYERS BASEBALL TEAM ATHLETICS At the beginning of this ses- sion the girls of the Montreat Normal School organized them- selves into an athletic associa- tion with Carolyn McElveen as manager. The association has shown splendid spirit and done fine work. There have been teams in basketball, baseball, volleyball, a nd tennis and, for those who did not care for such vigorous exercise, there have been hiking groups who have en- joyed discovering new places of interest in the mountains and valleys around Montreat. When school opened in the fall the athletic activities were handicapped by lack of equip- ment, but Dr. Marjery J. Lord, the generous school physician, came to the assistance of the as- sociation and donated a splendid supply of basketball and baseball material. In addition to giving the equipment she generously gave her time to coaching the teams and as a result ot her care- ful training, they have kept up the record started when they were organized four years ago, and have won every game play- ed this session. The teams were organized into the Odds and Evens, and friendly rivalry between the groups has created quite a bit of interest. Volleyball and tennis have been enjoyed by a number of the girls, but there have been no games in these sports with vis- iting teams. During the spring there have been baseball games with Swan- nanoa there and here and with Biltmore here. The Montreat girls have won each of these games lay a good margin. During the session all the girls were given an opportunity to earn a school letter by making so many points in either hiking or playing some game . The goal was 350 points and they were to be earned between September 15 and May 15. Most of the girls started out to win a letter, but for various reasons they kept dropping out, and when May 15 came there were only 15 who | had reached the desired aim. ■ Three of this number received I stars as they had won letters last year. Those winning letters are: Vela Smith, Kathleen Wallace, Ruby Burton, Jessie Jones, Oris Blackburn, Mattie Johnson, Lillie ' Mae Gilstrap, Elizabeth Hender- son, Mary Vance, Carolyn McEl- veen, Alice Daniels and Elizabe. Miller. The three receiving stars are: i Bertha Bailey, Evelyn McElroy, ' and Julia McElrov. High School Juniors Entertain Seniors GRAGG ' S STUDIO BLACK MOUNTAIN, N. C.

The large living room of the Club was made most attractive with a pro- fusion of spring flowers and the artistic use of the class colors. As the guests arrived they were welcomed by the officers and sponsor of the Junior Class. The evening was spent with all taking part in a series of stunts and games. An old time South- ern story was read by one of the Juniors and this added much to the amusement of the evening. Each one present was given miniature memory books, con- taining the names of the offi- cers, sponsor, roll and colors of each class and every one was re- quested to write their name in each book. At a late hour delicious re- freshments of pineapple sherbet and wafers were served, after which yells and songs from the classes were enjoyed. +_,„ GRADUATES The last year Normal gradu- ates have been teaching this year at the following places : Elizabeth Hood, Pacolet, S.

Shine back the starry skies. And watching each white cloudlet Float silently and slow. You think a piece of heaven lies on Our eaith below. Our school is there, the Normal, And oh, we love it so ! We think we ' d rather be there Than any school we know. We love the hills and valleys, The quiet little streams ; ' Tis there we see our visions, ' Tis there we dream our dreams. ' Tis there we speak with Nature, As we would with friend to friend, As in bird-notes and in flowers Her many voices blend ; We see her in the beauty of her Many different moods, For she is the one who listens, She is the one who broods. As we live among her mountains, And we see her stately trees, We wonder if another place could have Such scenes as these. We wonder if another school could be Just like this one, Could hold so much of pleasure, Or could know so much of fun; Or could give us inspiration for our Many daily tasks, Or could make each task seem easy, Or could give us all we ask. No, I ' m sure there is no other school, No matter where it be, That practices the Golden Paile Quite as well as we.

THE SUN DIAL OUR BOYS FACULTY GRADUATING CLASSES SENIOR HI PICNIC What could be more inviting for a day in the great out-of doors than a sunny April morn- ing when the trees are getting on their freshest spring attire, the flowers are peeping from the ground, and the birds are filling the world with their songs. It was just such a morning when Miss Crocheron sponsor for the Senior High School class, invited the seniors to be her guests on a picnic. A truck load of jolly girls, a young man driver, well filled lunch baskets, two jolly teachers and all was well with the world, and it little mattered that the place to which the truck was bound, was known only to Miss Crocheron and Mrs. Miller. The driver, not knowing the roads very well, added much ex- citement by getting lost several times. Once the road led to a broad stream that had no bridge, and in venturing to cross the water, the truck was stalled and there was nothing to do but gut out and push. The four oblig- ing girls were rewarded for their effort by the driver ' s leaving them standing in the stream. Miss Crocheron interceded for them, however, and the truck as stopped long enough for them to scramble in, the all roll- ed happily on their way again. Finally the party was invited to halt by the side of a clear mountain steam. This was indeed one of nature ' s fairest spots and an ideal place for a picnic. There were several canoes on the river and the first thing on the pro- gram was rowing and wading, carrying one back to childhood days as the clear, cool water trickled over bare feet. Soon a great splash was heard and when the seniors saw that Mrs. Miller had slipped and that she and the bottom of the stream were try- ing to occupy the same place at the same time, they realized what a task was theirs in getting her on her feet again. At last, with the combined strength of the class the feat was accom- plished with no serious accidents. The most important feature of any picnic is the eats and this occasion was no exception. Miss Crocheron had packed the bas- kets with good things that ap- peal to all hungry school girls. I The menu consisted of roasted hot dogs, all kinds of tempting sandwiches, coffee, pickles, cake and nuts. My, how appetizing that coffee and sizzling hot dogs did smell to that hungry crowd ! After partaking most heartily of the bountiful lunch and resting a while around the camp fire with story and son the order was given to pack up snd load up. However, other surprises were m store, for instead of turnin;, toward Montreat at the forking of the road, the truck was order- ed toward Black Mountain and on to Ridge Crest for an added joy ride. On the way back the hospitable hostess treated the crowd to ice cream cones. More joy! A happy, contented crowd of girls returned to Montreat Nor- mal that April evening full of gratitude to Miss Crocheron and Mrs. Miller for the joys of a Perfect Day. Dr. Anderson and Mr. Wood- ward attended the General As- sembly of the Southern Presby- terian Church which met at Lex- ington, Ky., May 21 to 29. entire family we extend our deepest sympathy in this great sorrow. Miss Belk: Murphy, why are you late to school so much? Murphy Starbuck : Because of the sign I pass on the way. Miss B.: What sign? Murphy: School Ahead! Go Slow! Mr. Woodward (making an an- nouncement in chapel) : Girls, you must stop running out and speaking to automobiles. 4.

Why did we say that the world is so radiant, Why is all happy and bright? Why does the heart sing one clear merry melody, From dawn till the falling of night?
