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. For Portraits of distinction and character Special prices to M. N. S. students - — — + • KODAK FINISHING On Saturday evening, May 2d, the Junior High School class en- tertained the Seniors, their spon- sor and a few friends, at the Girls Club Building. 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.

EIGHT LITTLE CICEROS Eight little Ciceros in a Latin heaven, Mattie fell by the wayside, and then there were seven; Seven little Ciceros, think they ' re in a fix, It was too much for P. C, and then there were six ; Six little Ciceros kick to keep alive, Annie Sue went under and then there were five; Five little Ciceros now their fate deplore, Bill dropped out, and then there were four ; Four little Ciceros working day by day, Elizabeth and Emilie, Ruby and May; Swimming on, swimming on, they see a little land. Maybe they will make it with Mrs. Miller ' s helping hand. — Elizabeth Hamilton.

Box 82 Black Mountain, N. C. —4. I s. w. Cafeteria Where Montreat Girls Eat MONTREAT Girt round with rugged mountains, Our village, Montreat, lies ; In her clear lake reflected. 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. To whom the time seems shorter As we work from day to day, Than the nine short months that ' intervene, Between the Fall and May. — Elizabeth Hamilton. Asheville, N. C. — ■ — + C. C. HIPPS CO.
