18 THE SUN DIAL Spring The earth is newly awakening: From a long, cold, winter sleep. The birds, saucily singing reveille Fly swift their tryst to keep. Lovely Spring gently wakens All the golden daffodils; Breaks the ice upon the rivers. Scatters flowers o’er vale and hills. Behold the pearl-white fairy ships Wafted on by a gentle breeze. Floating airily from port to port On heaven’s deep blue seas. At night when the glorious golden sun Behind the hills has set, The star-flowers of heaven come forth And dance a minuet. The silvery moon keeps silent watch O’er land and sea and bay, Then as the sun rises out of the East It silently slips away. When all the earth is newly awaking And everything puts on new life, There is in my heart a spring of gladness Lifting me above life’s toil and strife. —Irene Smallwood My Creed I believe in making the best of everything; in meeting life’s trials and problems with an un- faltering step and a trusting heart. I want to leave the world better than I found it, having used my influence for the good. I believe that God has a plan for my life, and I shall endeavor to find this plan, and enter into it with the best that is in me. Although the sky may be dark and lowering, still I have the consolation of knowing that the sun is still shining beyond the clouds, and that it will soon shine forth in all its radiant glory, filling my soul with hope and joy for the future. —Irene Smallwood.

THE SUN DIAL 17 The Days Schedule 7:00 o’clock The rising bell rings. But dead silence prevails over Montreat Normal. 7:25 o’clock Five minute bell. The girls scramble from bed and yell for everybody to wait on them as they make wild attempts at dressing. 7:30 o’clock Loudly the bell clangs for breakfast. Everybody rushes to the dining room to par- take of Miss Miller’s delicious meal. 8:25 o clock Again a bell rings. Girls flee into their rooms for quiet hour. 8:45 o’clock To chapel we go. 9:00 o’clock School: We go to continue our acquaintance with Prof. Math.

Meaning Of M. N. S. From what I have heard M. N. S. must stand for a good many things. For instance, “Many Nice Students,” which we hope is true. As for meaning, “Many Naughty Students,” I will not say. I have also heard that it stood for. “Men Never Seen,” which I vouchsafe is true. But after all don’t you think M. N. S. could mean a “Mighty Nice School?’ —J. Woodward.
