Ja ie S UN 01A L Published by the students of Montreat College Volume IX MON TREAT, N. C., MAY, 1935 Number 3 MRS. R. C. ANDERSON DR R. C. ANDERSON TO THOSE WHO HAVE MADE MONTREAT POSSIBLE To those who founded Montreat College we owe a deep debt of gratitude. Therefore we wish to dedicate this issue of The Si v Dial to Dr. and Mrs Anderson, who have been instrumental in making Montreat College possible, and through whose loving interest it is continuing to grow year by year. Not only have our president and Mrs. Anderson made our Alma Mater a reality; they have made each student who has come to Montreat a better person for having known such radiant personalities. Through their lives of courageous ser- vice. they have unconsciously inspired each of us to endeavor to live more truly “the better life.” Through our associations with Dr. and Mrs. Anderson we have come to a realization that if life is worth living at all. it is worth living well. Our wish is that many other students who take our places will have the opportunity of knowing the Anderson as we have. Above all do we hope we may always reflect some of the ideals we have gleaned from our associations with them. Long may they live, and may every dream and plan they have formulated be realized in a bigger and better Montreat College. Dr. anil Mrs. Anderson accept our praise and gratitude for what you have meant to each of us.

The race, you might say. is ended, but is it? Because we have received our coveted sheepskins, the reward for running an acceptable race, arc we going to stop? Are we ready to stop? Is grad- uation day indeeed the end of our course? Such a conception, I am sure, could not possibly exist amidst such economic dis- tress and social disturbances as are present in the world today. Commencement holds a greater challenge for the graduate of today than ever before. Upon him is placed the responsibility of solving world wide problems. So. what kind of success or failure we make out of the responsibility depends upon our am- bitions. our motives, our intellects, and our determinations. To every man there openeth a highivay and a Ion . And every man deeideth the way his soul shall go.” Everyone can have high ambition and strong, upright mo- tives to urge him on. Even if our ambitions are not realized, we at least have something worthwhile for which to strive. May our motives have as their basis the high ideals of service which have been so diligently taught us while in Montreat. All of us do not have superior intellects; all of us cannot expect to become famous. However, we can use our intellect, whether great or small, to the best advantage by directing it into sane and serious channels of thought whereby we may gain a solution which will lift the world out of its present social, economic, and political chaos. Back of all this there must be a determination, a might, and a power to carry out the above instructions. A strong deter- mination is within the reach of each of us and may be strong for good or evil. Which? Our lives are valuable if directed along a well rounded plan, but they may easily become worth- less if not carefully guided. We can do with them what our wills determine. May our decisions be wise ones as we face our tasks; may we “climb the highroad” ami thus reflect in our lives the wonderful environment of our college days -------------o COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Monday morning. May 20. at io:oo o'clock, the graduating exercises for the senior classes of Montreat College and Mon- treat College High School were held. Dr. Anderson intro- duced the speaker of the occasion Mr. George Wright of Asheville, who addressed the two classes. After the address diplomas were delivered by Dr. Anderson. Awards were given to outstanding students in the form of scholarship recognition, athletic letters, and medals. Thirty-five girls from Mrs. C. E. Dorsey’s class received Bibles for having recited the Westminster Shorter Catechism, and prizes were given to girls who recited thirty-six or mon. Bible chapters during the year. BACCALAUREATE SERMON The baccalaureate service for the graduating classes was held Sunday morning, May 19. in the Anderson Auditorium. The student body, led by the two graduating classes, marched into the auditorium singing the processional. “The Children of the King Are We.” The Montreat College choir added to the inspiration of the service by the beautiful anthems which were sung. The Rev. J. A. Flannigan of Franklin, North Carolina, delivered the sermon which was a challenge to each scnioi. I he recessional. Brightly Gleams Our Banner” concluded the morning service. Sunday evening in the auditorium Rev. R. C. Anderson. D. I)., president of the college, delivered his annual sermon to the Young People of the Church. ----------o---------- COMMENCEMENT CONCERT One of the biggest and most enjoyable features in the musical program for this year was the Annual Commencement Concert, presented by pupils of the music department and the college choir under the direction of Miss Mary P.

I dressed myself lazily and strolled out on the front porch. Imagine my disappointment when I saw only a small paper peeping above the top of the mail box. 1 thrusi my hand into the bottom of the box, but with no better results. 1 was about to lay the little paper aside—thinking it was only an advertisement—when these words caught my eye: The Sun Dial, Published by the Students of Montreat College. May. 1945. ’ 1 could hardly realize that ten years had passed since the Montreat College Senior Class of 1935 had marched down the long isle of the Anderson Auditorium to receive their 1 much cherished diplomas. We were happy—very happy in sense; but on the other hand our hearts were filled with sad- ness—sadness with the thought of leaving our dear Alma Mater and all our friends whom we loved and who loved and understood us. While 1 was thinking those things, and wondering what each of my classmates was doing. 1 was slowly turning the pages of the Sun Dial—now a much larger paper than our little one had been. Suddenly my attention was called to the Alumnae Column. I glanced hastily down the pages, recog- nizing many names, and found to my great delight that the column was entirely used, this month, for the Senior College Class of 35—a report having been gathered from various sources by one of the members of that class. The report was as follows: Ruth Branch, graduate of St. Luke's Hospital in Rich- mond, Va., is making a great success as head nurse at that institution. Charlotte Browder, who finished college at .Belhaven, Jackson, Miss, is now a dress model for a very exclusive shop in Gay Paris. Katherine Bird has given up her idea of being a school teacher ami is now a very successful home demonstration agent in Atlanta, Ga. Martha Marion Carroll is finding much happiness in gracing the manse of Winnsboro, S. C.—as its mistress. Ruby Cross has left us all and gone abroad. She is studying French under a very noted professor in Pans. Sara Dcndy has at last reached the height of her ambition and has gone into the Foreign Fields with much enthusiasm. “Annie Lou Dill, who completed her Home Economics course at L. T., is a very efficient dietitian there. Jennie Du Bose's dream, too, has come true. She is a very happy little mistress of the great ranch-—way out in Montana! “Gladys Dodd, with her usual understanding of little chil- dren, is making a wonderful success at writing Bible stories for the Little Ones. Doris Franklin has left the States and returned to Ger- many—there she is becoming quite famous with her singing in Berlin. “Ada Free has finished college and is now increasing her education with a tour around the world—is she lucky? A poetess has come out of the Senior Class of '35. Anna Hastings has recently published her first book of poems. Anna Holt, who has been studying advanced Home Eco- nomics. is rapidly becoming a noted interior decorator in New York City. “Grecnacrc School in Greenville, S. C., found a valuable Superintendent—when Lilly Mae Jolly was recently elected head official.. Merle Kinningham has reached an attainment worthy of note. She i accompanying Lawrence Tibbet! Page Three Sally Knox. too. has become quite famous. She is an illustrator for unique fashion departments. “Sara Scott Lee’s house is littered with silver cups. She is the champion tennis player of the South. “Edna McMillan has certainly taken a step—imagine being a mathematics professor at Duke University. “Betsy Miller was not merely day dreaming when she used to say that she was going to be a technician. She now holds that position at Johns Hopkins. “Mr. and Mrs (Lanie Miller) Prince have recently cele- brated their 10th wedding anniversary to which the faculty of (). R. M. I. was invited. “News comes to us from Washington. D. C., that Miss Pauline Ribciin is making a great success as private secretary to one of the President’s cabinet members. “Laura Sherard has found her life work in the field of medi- cine. She is a very efficient nurse for an old invalid millionaire lady. “Anne Sherrill is doing exceptionally well in her work with the little tots—like herself. She is superintendent of a largi- day nursery in Charlotte, N. C. “One of our classmates has entered the athletic field. Inez (“Tuck”) Tucker finds the position of athletic director of Maryville College very interesting. Remember when Helen Turner used to be business man- ager of the Sun Dial Well, she has gone quite a step farther— she now holds that position with The Was hint ton Star. Shirley Turner has won for herself the love of hundreds of little boys. For several years she has been house matron in the Darlington School for Boys—even Sam would:.'t be a problem now, says Shirley. Another of the members has gone into the newspaper world, Myrtle Wallace is a journalist instead of a business manager. “Mary Louise Wicker's hopes have been realized. She is doing wonderful work as a missionary in dark Africa. Irene Wright, with her usual pleasing personality, has won much distinction as a social service worker.

Sammy Woods, Mascot Moxtreat College Page Eleven THE SUN I) I A L SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROPHECY It was just yesterday that I was in Johns Hopkins Hospital, waiting to see Dr. F. II. Davis, eye. nose and throat specialist. I was quite worried about myself. For the past week my voice had been prone to crack every time I got excited. This was a very serious matter, since 1 am to make my debut tomorrow night at the Metropolitan Opera House. Well! When I saw Dukie’’ in that long, white robe, my voice didn't crack; it went plum hay-wire”! My roommate, a doctor! I remember how she used to practice on our turtle. Doctor “Dukie. indeed! After all the ahs and exclamations were over, we found out a few things about our former classmates. It has been exactly ten years ago today since we grabbed our sheepskins and made our get away. Jane Neel and Marlisc Torrance are together in New York. Jane is a physical education director at Columbia University. She specializes in tap dancing, and with that wind blown bob— she's a wow! Marlisc is teaching French in the big McElroy Institute. Furthermore, she still writes to Gene. Dr. Davis said she dined with Bettic Kiser last night. Bettic. accompanied by Miss Watkins, has just returned from Europe. They have been visiting the birthplace of all the English au- thors for the past three months. Here's hoping Bettie gets her promised credits. While we were reminiscing. Virginia Lambert came in. «Lag- ging her three red-headed boys. They had whooping cough and were all barking at the same time. It reminded me of the con- certs Mary Williams used to give after light bell. Virginia had just received a letter from Connie Perry. She has been shooting big game in Africa—you know, she always was adventurous, but I never expected such huge things of her. As for Annette Baker, she teaches music in Montreat Col- lege. Little Billy comes to see her. and much to Mrs. Riley’s joy there is someone to make use of the teacher’s sitting-room. “Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main” . . . This could apply to only one person. Mary Frazier says if it isn’t one port it’s another! At the present she is in Shanghai. Last, but not least, comes Mary Alice Lewallen, “our” lawyer. There are rumors that she will run for President in '46. Now. Lewallen. when you start rolling Easter eggs on the White House lawn, don’t forget your ol‘ class mates of '35. By the way, don’t forget that tin's is the year for the dear old Montreat reunion. Ix-t’s go back and prove to Miss Spencer that it can be done!” Nancy Fontaine.

When we took off the second time, Virginia Lambert and Mary Frazier were listed among the passengers.

Every Monday morning we had our troubles, but they were soon forgotten when we had our Junior-Senior theatre party. As we neared our destination.

Charotte Browder; Mis’ Elmira Mo- ran, Gladys Dodd; Mis' Trot. Jennie Dubose; Mis' Carrie Ellsworth. Irene Wright. These two plays were directed by Miss Elizabeth Hoyt, director of dramatics, and Miss Nannie G. Watkins. Senior Class sponsor. To their splendid coaching was attributed a great part of the success of the plays. ■ ■ '0 SENIOR COLLEGE CLASS HISTORY Primitive Twas five long years ago when first we came into the chaos of Montreat. Habitation was scarce, and the terrible animal, man.” for which we all chattered with fright, was ne’er heard of from that day to this. We entered into the Sophomore Glade at least nine strong, but it was the survival of the fittest, and so-o-o-o some were eaten by wild beasts.— over- work and no play, wrought up nerves,” “over-wrought emo- tions, and homesickness. We fared slightly better in our Junior year. We had past 365 eons of time. All the wild beasts had been killed and put on the shelf.” We elected as our sponsor Miss Minton, who graciously put over a smashing” bazaar. We royally entertained the Senior Class at an old-fashioned banquet. Among the guests present was Dr. Anderson, who looked simply divine in an apple green bonnet with pink ribbons on it. The bazaar and banquet were the outstanding success of ’32. A neient Having lived so long in one place, our ideas had become stag- nant. So we got together, plus a new member, to think or do something. We elected for our sponsor in our ancient years Miss Watkins, who was our dear friend as well as class sponsor. She (with the aid of Miss Hoyt) helped us give The Ladies of Cranford.” which took the coveted Montreat Pulitzer prize. Also we were honored by the Senior Class with a houseparty— and did we have fun! Our whole class donned caps and gowns, had a senior table, and emerged quite medieval. Medieval Our Clan had grown so large, and so many members had been replaced by new girls that we remaining ones realized that we were in a new world. College seemed to be the name. The terrible struggles of high school were over, but alas we were sadly mistaken. We were con fronted with harder lessons, fewer classes and a general confusion, but we soon got over that and settled down to a long hard grind—term papers, essays, and short stories (I feel that 1 am going to disgress, so I must hasten on). Miss Hoyt was elected sponsor and we gave another bazaar, which was quite a success, owing to our com- petent direction and marvelous intellectual development. Modern Now I am on firmer ground. We are about thirty strong, have worked hard all year, written term papers, and set the example in general.” Wc think we have earned a rest. Our achievements for the year are—a benefit supper, which every one seemed to like and brought the clinkers into the coffers,” two plays. Benedick and Beatrice and Neighbors,” which gave us the graduation spirit. Wc feel saddened now that the time has come when we must part. We each feel for the other that she is going to make a success of her life. Here’s to you. Senior Class—present and future. Wc will meet again along life’s way. Betsy Miller. Class Historian.

The senior home eco- nomics students, with the aid of other members of the class, served delicious plate-lunches. Between the hours of five-thirr and seven o’clock, many town people, as well as the grcai: majority of the student body, attended the supper.

During the day that the visi- tors were here different members showed them around the campus ami school ami gave them a feeling of welcome. The Junior College Class entertained the visitors at a party in the lobby of the dormitory. I ne school was very glad to show the visitors its curriculum and to give them a feeling of being in a home-like atmosphere. —-------------------------o—----------- PAGEANT T hirty-three students of the Montreat College attended the Young People's League of Asheville Presbytery in Black Moun- tain on April 26 and took part in a pageant entitled “Kingdom Highway. Before the program the girls were entertained at 1 banquet at the Gresham Hotel. On April 22, a large number of students and the faculty drove to Biltmore to visit the Biltmorc Estate there. The great mansion, which was designed on the lines of architecture of the French Renaissance and was constructed at the cost of several million dollars, brought exclamations of delight and wonder from those who saw it. Inside the mansion is a priceless collection of various types of work of art and famous articles of historical interest. Among the latter is the desk in which Napoleon’s heart was sent from St. Helena to France. A perfect scale miniature of the Biltmore House is on display in one of the rooms. The ‘Court of Palms” is a sunken circular area just off the entrance hall ami contains many palms together with various other kinds of tropical growth. The beautiful gardens and the greenhouse are south of the house. There is a swimming pool on one of the terraces and a tennis court below. The greenhouse is filled chiefly with palms. Outside of the grounds immediately around the estate the party drove through sweet-smelling forests and rolling country until the Biltmore Dairies were reached. There they were given complimentary servings of the delicious Biltmore ice cream. Same of the party visited Biltmore Forest and the Biltmorc Forest Country Club. Nothing could, however, compare with the beauty and grandeur of the estate itself. The trip left a very good impression of the sights one might see on a tour through Europe. -------------o------------- JUNIOR-SENIOR COLLEGE BANQUET On Monday night. April 29. the Junior College Class en- tertained the Senior College class at the annual Junior-Senior banquet. The dining room of the Assembly Inn was a scene of beauty with its colorful decorations carrying out the gypsy motiff.

MARCH. 1935 Number Montreat College Dormitory The Junior College Note: The following is part of an article by Dr. Frank I Howard Richardson, published in The As fieri If Citizen: The Montreat Junior College, whose line new administra- tion building was recently begun, is definitely in keeping with the new educational trend in stressing the junior college as its main contribution to the constituency that has supported it in the past. The junior college movement has been steadily gaining in strength, popularity, and recognition by educators since its in- ception. sometime around the change of the century. President Harper, the predecessor of President Hutchins of the Univer- sity of Chicago, is known as the founder of this significant new factor in the preparation of young people for life; and in the third of a century that it has been demonstrating its reason for being, it has gained many enthusiastic supporters among the senior college authorities, John Hopkins University being among the strongest advocates of the new step in the educational (system. Parents and girls who are facing the question of making � choice at the end of the four years of high school, should arefully consider the advantages that a standardized junior College, like the new and enlarged Montreat, offers them as compared with the old-time four-year senior college. Much is of course to be said for having the four years of college all cn the same campus; but the other side of the story, what the girl gets who elects to take the first two (freshman and sophomore) years at Montreat Junior College, well deserves a careful and judicial hearing. In the first place the classes are distinctly smaller at Mon- treat than at the average senior college. 30 being the maximum as compared with an average of 60 in the larger institutions. This means of course that every girl gets a degree of individual attention that is manifestly impossible in the mass production necessary in handling larger groups. Then. too. Montreat will never be allowed to grow numer- ically beyond the point at which it is no longer possible for any student not to be personally known by every instructor. Turning to the student and away from the faculty, we notice a maturing of the junior college student during the two years she is in attendance that is not all paralleled by the fresh- man and sophomore in the senior college or university. Re- sponsibility must be taken quickly in the junior college; for there is not time to await the slow evolution of four years in (Continued on Page 8) Page Two THE S U N DIAL Montreat College THE SUN DIAL THE EXECUTIVE STAFF Editor-in-Chief ...........................

Anna Hastings Typists Frances Bowen Ella Wilson McCreight Laura Mae Mincey Ntlle Jackson THE QUESTION OF STUDENT GOVERNMENT Whether we like it or not. the modern institutions of educa- tion regard exclusive faculty government as an archaic practice and are rapidly modifying its use. The aim of the educational system of today is to train young people into men and women who can take their places as citizens of the social, political, and economic world Education must train one to make wise, in- telligent decisions. Therefore, student government is the pre- valent form of government in colleges, and is developing a spirit of citizenship in the students as they exercise the duties of citizens in the school government. The success of student government depends upon every indi- vidual. since each participant must realize his responsibility in abiding by all of the laws for the protection of the group. The students must not consider the student council a “spy system,” but a group of people who are representatives of the student body and are advised by a faculty whose experience helps in making judicious decisions. Let it. then, be impressed upon our minds that we do not have council government, nor faculty government, but student-faculty government, the suc- cess of which depends upon our attitude toward, our coopera- tion with, and participation in its administration. There arc always two groups of people in any organization— leaders and followers. All of us cannot be leaders, and we should accept the fact as a natural conclusion. However, wt can contribute a great deal to our own and group happiness bv accepting our position of loyal and intelligent followers. As followers we have an important duty, which now confronts us. Upon us rests the responsibility of selecting our student lead- ers for next year. As election time approaches, let us cast aside all biased opinions, prejudices, and dislikes. The matter of selecting council members must be devoid of all personal feelings. Should we. for instance, elect a girl just because she is popular, pretty and well-dressed? These things should be counted as mere triHes. while her leadership qualifications arc considered. A council member should be. primarily, a representative of the students. She should be a girl who is above reproach, and who will speak frankly concerning student welfare from a student's point of view. Her ideals should be uplifting and steady. She must be one who will stand determined in what she frankly believes is right until she is shown wherein she is wrong If wrong, she will always admit her mistake. A council member, since she is in such close contact with the students, has many occasions to reprimand them because of some offense. When such times arise, her reproof must always be administered tactfully. Never should a council member enjoy her authority to the point of letting it become arrogant and dictatorial, because such action merely causes resentment on the part of the students. To the student council are submitted the expressions of all student needs, demands, and requests. Together with the faculty, council members decide upon meas- ures to be taken. The girls we select, then, must be ones who;e decisions we are willing to accept as best for our welfare. Only a few prerequisites of the excellent council members have been mentioned, but even these should furnish us some incen- tive to make a careful consideration of the nominees lor next year’s council. After all, girls, we as citizens of Montreat College, are responsible for the kind of government she has. because we are the ones who select the officers. We must make our choices wisely, since if they fail and prove unworthy of the trust put in them, we have none to blame but ourselves. I et us prove ourselves intelligent citizens and select council mem- bers who will organize a government which we shall love to support. --------------o--------------- HONOR ROLL FIRST SEMESTER Those students whose semester average on each subject is not below 90%. make up the honor roll.

Opal Daniel. The Tritonians were guests of the Philalethians at their last meeting. THE DELTA BETA SOCIETY The Delta Betas have elected the following officers: presi- dent, Betty Kiser; vice president. Marlisc Torrance; secretary. Janet Steele. On January 19th the Delta Betas entertained the college literary societies and the faculty at a mock faculty meeting. Believe it or not. but Marlisc Torrance was plenty good as Dean Spencer and led the discussion. If you didn’t see Betty Brown as Mrs. Riley, you missed a good portrayal. Come to think of it. Annette Baker can be quite dignified as Miss Dog- gett. The Delta Betas really gave the faculty a chance to sec themselves as others see them. Note: The staff of The Sun Dial wish to apologize to the Delta Beta society for an article printed in the last issue of the paper. “The Hall of Fame was unofficial, and would not have been printed if the staff had known that the members of the so-called Hall of Fame had not been duly elected by the society as a whole.

Mrs. Stauffacher graduated from Co 1 umbia Bible College and from a nurses’ training school in Baltimore. OLD SHOES Old shoes are not worth considering. So some people dis- card them without giving them a second thought. On the other hand, 1 find old shoes extremely interesting. After studying them carefully. I obtain valuable information concern- ing the character of the person who wears them. To a certain degree, the posture and the way a person walks can be de- termined by the way an old shoe is worn. If a person carries himself with dignity and poise, his old shoes will be worn evenly, but if he walks in a careless, unattractive way. his shoes be worn down unevenly. If the shoes still shine in spite of old age. one would be rather accurate in thinking that their owner was one who possessed personal pride. In some cases, broken shoe laces indicate impatience on the part of their owner. When one sees a person wearing old shoes with neatly tied laces, one can almost always be certain that here is a per- son who is not more careful in larger things than just small shoe laces. The happy, and unhappy expressions on some people’s faces are most likely due to the kind of shoes they wear. When a person is wearing old shoes, not really old. but shoes which have been worn about two months, his expression will be, more or less, satisfied and happy, but if one is wearing brand” new shoes, that person’s expression will not be so happy or satisfied. I know this to be practically true from my own experience and from my observations of the expressions on other people’s faces. One day 1 was sitting in a restaurant, idly watching the various types of people who came in. while waiting for my lunch to Ik served. 1 was near the door, which was much to mv advantage, for I could easily see all the people who came in. First, was a middle-aged woman, or so I judged her to he. She was stylishly dressed, with her hair beautifully mar- celled. She walked with a very slight limp, which I would not have noticed had I not been so closely observing her. I glanced quickly down to her smartly shod feet. Her shoes looked as if she had just come from the shoe shop; they were so shiny and tight looking, it was no wonder she limped. If I wore the kind of shoes she did I’d probably hobble around—not just limp. In a few seconds a young couple came in. They looked and talked as if th y had just been married, and they seemed to be so happy. I instantly glanced down at their feet. Both had on nice-looking shoes. They were not old shoes, but they had comfortable looking wrinkles in them. They can afford to give their thoughts to things which are pleasant, because they never have to bother or worry about pinched, hurting, cramped feet. Just about this time, my lunch was served, so I had to put away my observations for a time. When 1 go to classes I. as well as my fellow students. look quickly at the teacher to see if she is in a good humor. If she isn’t, I take a look at her feet—to see what kind of shoes she is wearing. If her shoes arc new and tight, she is pretty apt to be cross, but if her shoes are worn and comfortable, she will laugh and joke with the students. I have found this true in most cases. In all my observations, I have found old shoes a very interesting subject. —II. Branch.

Margaret Botts played marches that once George might have marched to. Stunts were given by each class—each vicing to “out stunt the other in order to receive the lovely ten-cent package of “dainty mints. beautifully wrapped in our coun- try’s colors, red and white—blue not being available. The prize was won by the Senior College Class. The delightful evening was completed with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream cov- ering an awe-inspiring piece of cherry pie. and a grand march that ended in a grand scramble. The above was just in fun The party was a great success owing to the new environment. ------------------------o— — VALENTINE PARTY The annual Valentine Party was held in the lobby of the School Dormitory on Saturday evening. February 16. Red hearts were hung over the room, and the Valentine scheme was carried out in other decorations. As each person entered, she was greeted by Laurie Reynolds and Lou Ada Jayroe, who presented tiny red hearts on which was written the name of some famous person. There was much fun in matching hearts in order to find a partner. During the evening various games were played: The following program, under the direction of Peggy Sloop, was enjoyed: Poem by Mary Gilbert; Solo by Anna Hasting: Magician. Mildred Knox; Pantomine. Oh. No. John,” by Florence YVardrep and Margaret Botts: Solo. In the Gloaming. by Doris Franklin. Lou Ada Jayroe received a box of candy as a reward for find- ing the most hearts.

Gladys climbed upon the contraption and then said, “All right. Izzy, if you’ll hand me the bottom box to put on top. 1 think I'll be able to see it.” After Isabelle had handed her the box. she saw Gladys fall, but she only stood and stared. Gladys: “Well, why didn’t you to try to catch me?’’ Izzy: “Well, I was just waiting for you to bounce.” Miss McEIroy: “Nancy, what is a reverie?” Nancy: “The signal to get up by.” Grace and Edna were very hungry one night, and decided to slip down to the kitchen.

A little secret for those who have not already learned it. is that ,;hc hour after supper is the most enjoyable time for skating. Try sometime and see for yourself! It is great fun to skate jn the bridge, and it is very fortunate that there are railings m each side of it. If there were not. perhaps some fair skater might fall into Lake Susan. What a calamity if she should— ler skates would rust! ------o------ NEW TENNIS COURTS An item of much interest to those who are tennis enthu- siasts is the building of the new tennis courts across from Montrcat Store. They are nearing completion now. and— from all observation—are going to be ideal places for swinging :he racquets. ------o BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT The opening game of the basketball tournament was played March 5 between the Freshman-Sophomore High and the Jun- or-Senior High School teams.

As a result responsibility is given early, and, as is usual in such situations, the change is responded to and a personality development takes place that would not otherwise be possible in such a relatively short time. Students are per- force trained to become leaders; they arc not kept in subjection to archaic customs of freshman and sophomore submission. For parents to whom the four years of maintenance of a daughter in college is a serious financial problem, the suggestion is made that they look deeply into the claims of such a junior college as is maintained at the head of the lovely Swannanoa valley in beautiful Western North Carolina.

DECEMBER. m,u N IMKRK MONTREAT COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING THE PROPOSED NEW The Montreat College has made such rapid progress in its development in the last few years that all have felt pressing need ol an Administration Buildvig, thoroughly equipped ami furnished, to he the center of the school activities. Tic Mon- treat College is no longer an experiment, but has become well established and standardized and must have a permanent and adequate building of its own. It now seems that it will not be long before this building will be in the process of construc- tion. and surely it can not be begun at a tor� early date. A good friend has made a conditional offer of a 2s. xx gift for the purpose of constructing this promised Administra- tion Building. The condition of this gift is that sufficient funds be raf.se«l for the payment of the 54.S. xx debt of the Mountain Retreat Association. We hope and believe that this money will soon be raised ami the gift of 2S xx will be available for the construction of the building contemplated. I lie plan provides for the huijding to Ik- construct� � ! of 'tone. practically fireproof, with slate or til� roofing ami varic- ✓ COLLEGE BUILDING gated, colored marble flooring. It will contain a large Li- brary. Laboratory. Home Economics Room, ten additional class rooms, two offices, two cloak rooms and an Amlitorium with seating capacity of from four to five humlr� � ! people. I lus will provide room, in connection with what we now have, tor a college of 300 or 4 xi students. At the rate of the present growth of the College it will be imperative to have this building ready for use next Septem- ber at the opening of the school. The buiJding will not only serve school purposes, but it will be of immense value for the increasing demand for room for the Conference during the summer season. VVe earnest!� hope that everyone may he in prayer and effort to meet the conditions of the offer of $25.- «xxi and that the building may s� x)ii be in process of construc- tion. It will be a great thing for faculty and student body to have son� assurance of the use of this building on their return to the school next fall. R. C. Anderson.

The striking of a clock, the running of sand through an hour glass, day and night, summer, winter, months, years, even centuries—are these time? No. They are but markings of time. Time ijtself is “the life of the soul. As someone has put it “time is what we want most, but alas! what we use worst. Time is only a possession of ours for a little while. God has lent it to us to be laid out in His service, and when we consider that time is precious, short lived, uncertain, and irrevocable when lost, we must realize that we cannot be too diligent in using it. If time is. therefore, so important and if we love eternity, then let us make good use of our time. Remember, the yes- terdays are gone forever and cannot be recalled; the tomorrows are not assured, and only today is ours, which, if we waste, we lose, and which lost, is gone forever. Therefore, let us not idle away even one precious moment, but let us get busy and use our time to good advantage, for nothing can take the place of wasted time. Wasted wealth may be restored by industry, wasted knowledge by study, but wasted time by noth- ing. Not only because wasted time cannot be regained should we use it well, but because it is in moments of time wasting that lurking friends slip in and rob us of our highest prizes and hopes For another reason, we should use our time well— well arranged time is the surest sign of well arranged minds.” Granting this, should we not use our time wisely ami thus become better students? However, if we are tempt- ed to waste our time, let us remember the words of the poet and do likewise—“Tune is the warp of life. oh. tell the young, the fair, the gay. to weave it well.” What does our college seal mean to us? Is i.t only an emblem to put on our class rings, college stationery and stick- ers? Is it just an accepted fact that most colleges have seals and ours is not an exception? Perhaps it would be well to turn to the front sheet ami study Montreat’s seal. Had you really ever looked at it long enough to know of what it consists ? Possibly first (if you are familiar with it) you will notice that two words have disappeared from our seal this year and have made room for one word, which is. in our estimation, far superior. It is a word we shall always cherish as we recall our days here. We are no longer Montreat Normal School, but we are Montreat College. This change is a realization of the dreams of our administrators and many of the students who have been here through the years. We are looking for- ward to Montreat's growth in the years ahead. If you then look more closely, you will notice there above an open book these words: Strength. Truth. Beauty — three symbols of character for which our college stands. Does this not place upon us a great responsibility? Can we afford to go out from Montreat College and not be true representatives of what she stands for? No! Then what are we to do about it ? We can, right now. begin living her ideals. The college’s reputation depends upon the hearty co-operation of each of us. VVill we fail her? Let us accept the challenge she throws out to us and by living her ideals in true college spirit make ourselves worthy of wearing rings and receiving diplomas which bear the Montreat College seal. Then— Hail to thee, Alma Mater, we’ll ever be true. Though the coming years scatter us far, And the ideals you taught us will ever hi- bright. Shining out as our life’s guiding star.” Lanie Miller. ’35. -------------o------------ MUSIC Music seems to be a very vital part of Montreat College life. At almost any hour of the day. the mechanical sounds of scales and exercises, or lighter strains of classical pieces may be heard coming from the various practice rooms in the dor- mitory. Anyone who is around the book-store just before and after meals can testify that one way of getting rid of home- sickness or letting off extra energy is singing! When Miss Lord taps the announcement bell at breakfast and asks that the student hand-book be brought to chapel, the girls know they are to practice Montreat College songs which they always enjoy singing. Mr. and Mrs. Crosby Adams have brought to chapel sev- eral programs of song and piano solos. Mr. Adams taught the student body a motto song called Memory. Another morn- ing Mrs. Adams delighted the group by playing one of her compositions (in manuscript), which, she said, was so new the ink was hardly dry.” In October the B section of the Junior College Sunday School class had a musical worship program at the Young Peoples meeting, conducted by Peggy Sloop. - -o------------ A CONFESSION We. four members of Montreat Junior College, wish to submit to you our confession of the ludicrous prank performed on the Junior and Senior classes. We think that this was a very logical act, as it secured the gathering together of all the Juniors and Seniors for the first time in the history of the classes of ’34 and ’35. It really was a shame, and we are extremely sorry that there was no refreshments for those who t M k the trouble to dress in expectancy of a party. To Miss Burrows, we extend our most sincere regrets for disturbing her so late at night. Y.. T..

At the same meeting, each old and new member drew the name of her Tri-mate, to whom she was to slip small gifts. At a meeting to which Phillalethians were invited, the Tri- tonians challenged them and the Delta Betas to a declamation contest to be held sometime this month.

The results of the election were as follows: President—Helen Turner. Vice-President—Doris Franklin. Secretary-Treasurer—Shirley Turner. We are striving to live up to our name, which is a Greek word meaning love of truth We have hitched our wagon to this star and hope to have a successful year in all ways. We arc trying to present programs of definite literary value. We wish to give interesting programs, and, at the same time keep in mind our watch-word—Quality. At our first meeting, we introduced a few of the great love scenes in history. Helen Turner, President. DELTA BETA CLUB This year marks the beginning of a separate high school club. Its name.

You had better come to see them all, so you can reap the benefits of the last one, which will be the most interesting. YE OLDE DOMINION CLU.BE The Virginian Club was organized early in the school year. Officers were elected as follows: Gladys Dodd, president; Lou Ada Jayroe. secretary and treasurer; Miss Wade, advisor.

YOUNG PEOPLE’S ORGANIZATION A word from the Young People’s president: I he attitude of the students toward the work of the Young People this year has made me quite happy. It i.s indeed grati- fying to note how willing the new students have been to take parts on programs. It is my wish that each member feel free to offer any sug- gestions which will make our programs more helpful. The ideal aim of the organization i.s to be fulfilled only when at the end of this year, each girl may look back and say. “I have walked closer to Christ this year.” Martha Carroll, President. The following program has been planned for December; the main topic is Joy— December 2—“Joy of the Lord”—Senior College class in charge. December 9— On the Trail of Joy - Junior College class in charge. December 18—Annual Christmas Pageant. Page Four THE SUN D I A I Montre.at Collece ALUMNAE NOTES Montreat—then what? Well, you never can tell. Let’s look around ami see what some of Montreat’s former students arc doing ami where they are: Florida seems to have been attracted to Montreat girls, or else Florida was attractive to them. Bertha Jean Hampton and Georgia Greenwood have both accepted good positions in Miami. Matrimony has kept Marion Hughes and Alma Collins in Florida, and prospective matrimony has kept Vivian New there. Iris Machen. a freshman, is a Kappa Alpha Theta at Flor- ida State this year (and still likes John!) Imagine Margaret Powell teaching the fifth and sixth grades! Yes. she's in Mountain City, Georgia. Virgin ,-� has some Montreat girls: Gretchen Cocke is at Randolph-Macon, and Cora Belle Orr is in training in Rich- mond. Grace Brown and Elsie Barron are teaching in Alabama. .Many of the girls couldn't seem to leave North Carolina: katy Hand ami I-ouise Martin are at Appalachian State Teachers College in Boone. N. C. Mary Melettc and Addic Mae Kirby grace Assembly Inn this year and are often seen on the dormitory halls. Sara Burrows, last year’s student body president, is assist- ant supervisor of the practice school in Montreat College. Imogene Warner and Katherine Jenk’jis are at Fassifern in Hendersonville. N. C. Miss Lucille Gradner. one of the most outstanding of Mon- treat’s former students, is secretary to the dean this year. Isabel .Martinez, from Cuba, who is one of last year’s grad- uates. is at Blanton's Business College in Asheville. (We wonder i.f George had anything to do with her remaining in the States?) Ethicen Renners is still in Fort Worth. Texas. She is attending college there. Louise Alexander is in training at the Presbyterian Hos- pital in New York. Eleanor Neel, who was outstanding in athletics here, made the freshman hockey team at Oberlin this year. Three girls who were here last year are still farther away. Betty Gordon ami Katherine Yates are at the Ping Yang Foreign School in Ping Yong, China. Phyllis Harris is traveling in the West Indies. Two former students. Elsie Blankenship and Sarah Sloop, were married in November. --------------o------------- CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS Centuries ago. when a lowly manger in an obscure corner of Bethlehem served as a shrine to which came men of high and low estate to bow in solemn adoration b«‘fore Hun who had come to take away the sins of the world, a single brilliant star was guide and beacon, lighting the way to where the Christ child lay. In the affairs of the little community in which each of us moves th? revival of the Christian principle must be in evidence if that principle is to rule in great affairs. That is the most important reflection to accompany Yulctid? greetings and good wishes Social Activities THANKS(iiVING BANQUET On November 29, the annual Thanksgiving banquet was held in the dining room of the school dormitory. The tables were beautifully decorated with ivy. fruits, and miniature fig- ures of the Pilgrim Fathers. Small colonial hats served as place cards. Faculty members, guests, and students enjoyed the follow- ing program during the dinner: “Chats on the First Thanks- giving Morn” by Betsy MiJler, Mistress of Ceremonies; Talk by Miss “Truth” Spencer; Skits by Little Constance Bard- well and Roger I)uBose. “John Alden” Alexander and Priscilla Yates. “Miles Standish Harris and “Massosoit Neel; Falk on “Thanksgiving Days by Governor Anderson Bradford. Musical selections were given by the Singing Club under the direction of Miss Lord. The banquet ended with the singing of America. ------------o----------- HALLOWEEN PARTY On October 27, ghosts and goblins made their way over the spooky route to the gym, where jack-o-lanterns blinked their welcome. A “Spirit Play was given in which the fol- lowing took part: Pocahontas. Frances Cunningham; John Smith. Jennie Hutton; Priscilla. Nina James; John Aider., Mary Bedinger; Xapoleon. Jennie DuBose; Marie. Troy Gil- lian; Josephine. Doris Franklin; Sir Walter Raleigh. Kate McChesncy; Queen Elizabeth. Pauline Ribelin. During the evening the spooks visited the fishing ponds and House of Hor- rors. Spooky hostesses served refreshments, and soon the ghosts drifted back to their individual haunts to wait for an- other Hallowe’en. —-----------o----------- YOUNG PEOPLE’S SOCIAL On September 15. the annual party of the Young People of the new Church was given in honor of the new students in the college living room. Everyone enjoyed an evening of music, games, and stunts. The special feature of the evening was Jimmy White, who is quite an accomplished “bones” player. Delicious refreshments were served. 0----------- HOBO PARTY Montreat went hobo on September 22. and how at home everyone seemed to be! Anne Sherrill, chief of the hoboes, announced the program and led the games. The Hobo Or- chestra. under the direction of Myrtle Wallace, filled the air with the strains of hobo songs. By the way. the refreshments disappeared as they might have mi a real hobo camp! FRESHMAN CLASS PARTY December the 9th Miss Porter entertained the Freshman class with a Christmas Party. The room was appropriately decorated for the occasion. Delicious refreshments were served later in the evening.

Many of the biggest problems in your life originate with trivialities improperly handled. The blacksmith forged a mighty chain but left a weak link. T hat one link caused the ship to break away from its anchor in a storm and drift to de- struction on a reef. So can a career, a home, an important undertaking, a life’s work be wrecked—by a “little thing. Keep your eye on the big problems but don’t overlook details. —The Courier. Elgin.

A day dawns quite like other days; in it a single hour comes quite like other hours; but in that day and that hour the chance of a lifetime faces us. —liaheot k.

And that will he enough out of you. remarked the doctor as he stitched Louella together. The Senior College class officers are as follows: Jennie Du- Bose. president: Helen Turner, vice-president; Sally Knox, secretary and treasurer. Miss Watkins has been selected as sponsor. The girls who were graduated from Montreat High School in 1933 know how capable Miss Watkins is as sponsor. Legree: “Last night I dreamed I was married to the most beautiful girl in the world.

Montreat College T HE SI X I) 1 A L Page Seven MONTREAT COLLEGE SPORTS HIKING For the many girls who have never lived near the moun- tains until this year, a new field of recreation was opened up by the hiking program planned by Miss Smith. The old girls. 1 who knew the thrills of mountain climbing, were as enthu- siastic as the new girls. The first big hike of the year—the trip to Greybeard— took place early in October. The girls after a great struggle reached the top and experienced the thrill of a great accomp- I lishment Although they were rather tired and hungry that night, they all admitted. It was great! The next hike will be an outstanding event in the school • year of every girl who went. On the trip to Mitchell, many I made new friends, formed new ideas of what a good hiker is, : and found that the faculty are real good sports (as well as teachers of science and languages, and blinders of sprained ankles and cut fingers.) Few realized what the climb meant and what a hard pull it was. However, the sense of achieve- i ment, which is sure to come after a climb, was worth all the effort it required. The view from the Mitchell observatory i is more famous than any other scene in Western North Car- olina. Everyone enjoyed the trip, and when the crowd came back, even though many faces were burned by the wind, and many voices hoarse from singing, no one was heard to say she was glad the trip was over. Instead, everyone was wishing next year was here so she might go again. It seems that the most logical thing to do is to give three cheers for Miss Smith, and beg to go again in the Spring. ------------o------------- THE OPENING OF THE BASKETBALL SEASON The basketball season opened November 17 with a hard- fought game between the High School and College squads. Both teams played a good game, and although the final score was 44-f5 in favor of the College, the High School is to be commended for the spirit it showed in the game. The players w ho showed the most skill and seem to be the most promising •stars of the season are: Jane Neel (F). Nancy Fontaine (F). and Janet Steele (G) of the High School, and Inez Tucker (F), Elizabeth Fleming (F). and Ruth Pcnland (G) of the • College. THANKSGIVING BASKETBALL GAME Another impromptu basketball game was arranged for the basketball enthusiasts on Thanksgiving afternoon. November 28. The High School team played hard in their attempt to defeat the College players, but although they put up a hard fight and did good work, they were unable to rout the Colle- gians. When the final whistle blew the score was 38 to 18. The College advise the High School to add inches to their statures in order to guard more adequately Mildred Knox and Nancy Boyd, and the High School suggests that the goals be raised so that Mildred and Nancy can not just lay the ball in, for it is evident that Jane Neel and Elizabeth Cheek can still score from any part of the court. Lanie Miller: Did you ever break a date? Gladys Dodd: Have I? Everyone I've ever gone out with!” ' Miss Wade: Now let's all get on page 19. ANIMAL PARTY The party on November 12th. sponsored by the athletic association, proved an occasion of much merriment. All those present were divided into four groups: the dogs, the cats, the turkeys, and the ducks. Each group was organized with its own leader and performed various competitive stunts, includ- ing a volley ball game. The first prize, which was two boxes of animal crackers, was won bv the dogs. ----------- o------------- PHYSICAL EDUCATION EXHIBITION The Physical Education classes under the direction of MLs Smith are preparing an unusual entertainment for Saturday night. December 15. There will be three parts of the program. ITie first will consist of simple tumbling, involving the animal immitations and other activities which develop agility, balance, control, and so forth; the second part will consist of character sketches and folk lore: the third part will involve pyramid building.
