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!

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.”

Page Pour THE SUN DIAL Moxtreat College Social Activities RECEPTION FOR NEW STUDENTS On Saturday night. September 7, a reception in honor of the new students of Montreat College was given by the old stu- dents and faculty members. The reception was held in the living-room of the dormitory, which was beautifully decorated with fall flowers. Guests called between seven and eight o’clock and were in- troduced to those in the receiving l'ne by an old student of the college. In the receiving line were Dr. Anderson, the members of the faculty, and the officers of the Young People of the Church and the literary societies. HOLLOWE’EN PARTY On Monday night. October 28. the student body held its annual Hallowe’en costume party at the gymnasium. The gvm was decorated with leaves, jack 0’ lanterns and corn shucks. The center of attraction was the witch's caldron. The night wa perfect to carry out the weirdness of the oc- casion. Rain and the howling wind sent the party scurrying to their destination. An interesting and appropriate program was given bv some of the students. The guests were greeted first by a hair-rairing ghost story Then the witches came to life and performed their fantastic dance. Fortunes were told bv the “Black Widows. A grand march, to show the costumes, concluded the program. The prize for the best costume was awarded by Dr. Dorsey to Miss Spencer, one of the “Black Widows. The party broke up with blood-curdling yells as the guests dashed madly for the door, pursued by witches and demons. ATHLETIC PARTY The Athletic Council sponsored a supper-party at the gym- nasium November 23. The traditional picnic supper was served after which the new athletic system was introduced. “Lib” McClellan led the teams in competitive games. Each team presented its colors, its cheerleaders, and its fa- vorite song. The gym echoed and rang with yells and w.ir- whoops; the Indians of Montreat are certainly coming to life. They say this was the best party of the year. L't’s keep the spirit, girls. MOONLIGHT HIKES Some hearty praise is due Miss Smith end Miss Hovt for the moonlight hike to Look-Out There aren’t many college girls who will lose the memory of that moon “coming over the mountain.” There were some lonesome songs sting that night, and mavbe that moon was wasted, but all was forgotten when Miss Hoyt offered us “some moles.” The moon was grand and the sub-way stories were delightful, but it had to end.— because eleven-thirty’s late in Montreat! JUNIOR COLLEGE CLASS TE Honoring the Junior College Class. Misses Wade and Hoyt entertained with a tea on Monday afternoon, September 30, in the living-room of the dormitory, which was beautifully ar- ranged with fall decorations. The entertainment of the afternoon consisted of progressive conversation, broken at regular intervals bv the following pro: gram: piano solo. Mary Beckett; Song, Florida girls: reading. Miss Hoyt; piano solo. Geraldine Key: vocal solo. Margaret Sanders; violin solo. Harriet Walkup. At the close of the program, refreshments were served. ANNUAL JUNIOR MINSTREL On Saturday night. November 8. the Junior College class presented a minstrel in the chapel. The fun-makers of the evening were Connie Perry, Edith Thompson, Isa Clay, and Mary Alice Lewellcn, with Cornelia Wolf acting as master of Ceremonies and Elizabeth McClellan as band-leader Jokes, centered around teachers and pupils, and negro songs made up a program which proved entertaining to the entire audience. The success of the minstrel was due to the heartv coopera- tion. of the class and the able direction of Miss Hoyt. The proceeds will be used in connection with the Junior - Senior banquet. ----o----- ANNUAL THANKSGIVING BANQUET The Thanksgiving banquet for the students of Montreat College and their guests was held at Assembly Inn. Members of the Senior College class were ho tesses. The tables were attractively decorated in Indian motif with fruit and Indian figures, tomahawks, canoes and wigwams.

Nell Saries, and Margaret Botts sang “By the Waters of Minne- tonka.’” “From the Land of the Sky Blue Water” was sung by Margaret Sanders Greetings were extended bv Dr. Anderson, and the program closed with all the guests singing “America.” ----o Thanksgiving basket ball games open the season for the Montreat College teams The teams have been chosen from the members of the four divisions of students, and each diviV'on seems to have a very promising team. It may b? the chilly weather that is arousing all this enthusiasm or perhaps it’s an old Indian custom. o----------- THE DESERT Like a sea of heat, the desert sands Stretched onward, miles and miles before me; As if reaching, eager, hungry hands For the coolness of the shimmering sea. Why this never-ending scorching waste? Why this foe of beast and man ? Was it there only to kill and taste The blood of those who dared its span ? The desert sand, heated by the sun. Seemed mockingly to taunt and cry, Those who have attempted have not won. And as did the others, so too, they die.” Just then—was sinking quietly the sun. And purple shadows crept across the earth Like fleeting shadows whose work was done; Left the burning sands and gave birth To an arresting stillness across the desert sand That in the hushed quietness became a friend to man. —Helen Branch.
