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.

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.

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.

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.
