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.

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.
