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.

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.

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.

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.
