War, had folded his wings and settled back into some stony cliff for at least a prriod of retirement, each nation looked sorrowfully at her dead. Then, in memory of the men who had given everything for their countries, every nation took from the battlefields one of her soldiers, and without learning his name or estate, buried him with ceremony and called him The Unknown Soldier. He represented the countless numbers who. without rank or honors, had been a part of the unit which was his fatherland’s army; day after day he had followed orders, but he had never given any. Yet his service was as great as a general’s. It we look about us. everywhere we see Generals and Un- known Soldiers. Both are indispensable to the progress of Montreat College. Every leader must have followers, and every follower must have a leader. Each position is equally important and should be treated as such. It we are leaders, of course we have reason to be proud, but this composition is dedicated to the Unknown Soldiers. If we are Unknown Soldiers, and if we are good soldiers, we should be just as proud as if we were Generals. To the girl who quietly prepares her lessons efficiently and regularly, to the girl who supports class and school enterprises but with no vain boasting of her loyalty, to the girl who abides in spirit as well as in letter by all the school laws, written and unwritten, to the girl who is never singled out to be awarded high honors but who is still considered “an ideal Montreat girl”—to that girl ami all her type are due praises loud and reverberating. She is an Unknown Soldier, for the Annual will print no long list of achievements by her name, and no one at Commencement exercises will announce her as an outstanding student.” Still she has the essential quality of a good citizen—the ability to follow. Let us strive to be better followers, to be really good pri- vates Then here’s to the Unknown Soldiers, who make our college, our community, our nation what it is! Students at Montreat College have K en extremely fortunate in the fine selection of chapel speakers supplied for them this year. Several missionaries have been among the guest speakers. Dr. Crenshaw, from China, made a talk on “Evil Spirits.” Dr. Bell, also from China, talked on The Armor of God.” Dr. MacNaughton. former missionary to Turkey, made an inter- esting talk on God’s preparation of the heathen mind for the reception of Christianity. Mr. and Mrs. Adams, of Montreat, have led chapel several times with music and songs. On one occasion Mrs. Adams played a number of her own compositions. Dr. Caldwell has instituted a new custom of presenting val- uable information on current topics. Some of the teachers have also given interesting talks. -----------o FIRST SIX WEEKS HONOR ROLL College Carolyn Allan Elsie Hartfield Leonora Anderson Ruth Lance Marion Bass Edna Leonard Margaret Botts Louise McDavid Isa Clay Catharine Murphy Agnes Dalton Nellie Sarles Opal Daniell Natalie Tombros Ernestine Foulke Ruby Wheeler High School Isbel Ager James Mann Thelma Bardwell Doris Mann Mary Bauman Edward Maxwell Melva Huckaby Louise Maxwell Dorothy Key Phyllis Stevens SECOND SIX WEEKS HONOR ROLL College Carolyn Allan Helen Davenport Marion Bass Ernestine Foulke Margaret Botts Flora Gordon Frances Bowen Elsie Hartfield Ellen Lee Bridewell Estelle Isenhonr Adelaide Brown Ruth Lance Isa Clay Elizabeth McClell; Agnes Dalton Nellie Sarles Opal Daniell Vivian Shaw Ora Nelle Silman High School Isbel Ager Elaine Laurent Thelma Bardwell Edward Maxwell Rosa Bell Ivoviise Maxwell Melva Huckaby Eloise Miller Dorothv Kcv Patsv Smith Phyllis Stevens -------------o------------ It was late when Brown got home. As he entered the front door, his wife called down and said. Jim. what time is it?” To which he replied. “It’s only 11:15. “Jim Brown.” said Madame Brown, “don’t you lie to me! I just looked at my alarm clock and it’s past three o'clock ’’ “All right. said Brown, with dignity, “if you’re the kind of woman that would believe a little 98 cent alarm clock instead of believing your loving husband, that’s all I want to know.”

TkeSUN DIAL Published by the students of Montreat C ollege Volume X .“DKC'|MBERj . . 5 Number i A Beauty Spot os the Montreat Collect Cxmpus THE NEW ADMINISTRATION BUILDING The October of 1935 will be long remembered as one of the most eventful months in the history of Montreat College, for in this month the new admin ot ration building was opened. At the present, eleven classrooms, the office's and book store have been completed and are being used. To an old student, this building marks the greatc t material improvement in the his- ton of the college. The building has three distinct features: 'I he first of these is the general appearance of the building. Similar to Assembly Inn in style, made with the same rare materials, it presents a pleasing picture as it stands on the crest of the hill behind the dormitory. Syinctrica! in structure and balanced in it setting it is ideally suited to the Montreat at- mosphere. The second feature is the inside arrangement of the building. Light walls, furniture of a light color, and well balanced light- ing make the classrooms ideal for working. The well-planned placement of windows and semi-indirect lights affords an abund- ance of light that is essential in an ideal classroom. One of the most useful conveniences is the large storing closet built in each room. The rooms are large enough to accommodate from twenty-five to forty students. The third distinctive feature of the new building is the equip- ment. The unique ami most interesting article of furniture is the new glass blackboards. Another asset to the teacher is the large bulletin board in each class room for the use of tem- porary or progressive illustrative material. TV College personnel is indebted to Mrs Anderson for her generosity and to Dr. Anderson for his ceaseless supervision and planning of both building ami equipment. Having given their unfailing energy and enthusiasm to the growth and devel- opment of the College since its founding, this new building stands as a permanent, perfectly expressive monument to the service of these two people.

Montrkat College rut: SIN 1)1 A I. Page Three INTRAMURAL SPORTS So it’s Rah. Rah for Montreat, Montreat! This year marks the beginning of a new period in the histon1 of the sports of Montreat College. As new enthusiasm, a living school spirit, and a growing loyalty are being aroused for the Alma Mater through the new system of the Athletic Council and team divisions. Since all the more important women’s colleges have adopted the plan of having only intramural contests rather than inter- scholastic activities, it has been considered wise for Montreat, because of its position and the type of the school, to adopt this plan also. This year the school has been divided into four teams: Choctaw. Mohawk. Hiawasshie and Cherokee. Each team has selected its captain, its colors, its cheerleaders, its songs, and its yells. Each team is to have a basket ball team and other teams, and contests are to be held to see which team (should it he called tribe?) can be the honored champions of Montreat. It’s not uncommon now to see on every side the orange and brown of the Miawassies or the red and black of the C hoctaws, ind it’s rather inspiring to hear the vip—yip—i—u— of the Mohawks and the warwhoops of the Cherokees. So it’s Rah. Rah! For Montrcat. Montreat! Rah! Rah! Rah! ----------o---------- Marlise: “Doesn’t your conscience tell you when you’ve done wrong?” Connie: Yes. but I'm awfulL glad it doesn’t tell Miss Spencer.” ON TO MITCHELL! It’s not raining!” Rrrr—it’s c-o-l-d- Shall I take one blanket or two? Hurry, girls, the trucks are coming.” Mail. Hail, the gang’s all here! They're off! Another Mitchell trip is begun! The Mitchell trip is a big event in nearly every Montreat girl’s life, and it is looked forward to and anticipated more than any other event of the year (except Christmas!). The fact that three trucks started up the mountain, even though one couldn’t make it, is a sure sign that the college has grown, for there aren’t many new students who can resist the appeal of that climb up the famous peak, and last year only two trucks ftacked with girls. Everyone seemed to enjoy the trip and no casualties occurred. Tweedic” Miller waited until she got hack to school to crip pie herself. It’s said she didn't want to deplete Miss Smith’s medicine kit. It is also said that the girls objected to the bril liant color they got from the sun and wind burn, for the teachers thought they were continualh blushing, but Mr. Dor- sey reports that he is very well satisfied with the Mitchell trip, for there was a considerable rise in the cold cream and lotion sales for several days. Rut all seriousness aside (compliments to Jimmie), the trip was a success. Miss Spencer thinks she’!! go again, if the girls promise not to take kodaks!
