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.

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.

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.

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. III. -------------o OPPORTUNITIES Opportunities do not come with their values stamped upon them. Everyone must be challenged. 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. WIT Man could direct his wavs h plain reason ami support his life b tasteless food; but God has given us wit and flavor and brightness ami laughter and perfumes to enlighten the days of our pilgrimage. —Sidney Smith.
