 J-V 1BUTH VV% .7 ,,Sun 'SP SfiiAL Published by the students of Montreat College Voi.ime IX MONTREAT. N. C.. 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. President

Page Eight THE SUN DIAL Montreat College THE JUNIOR COLLEGE (Continued from Page i) which to develop heads of student organizations, college papers, honor societies, art and dramatic and musical organizations and athletic 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.

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.. W., and H. k ;
