iJhe Senior C iaS6 f reients — f f rv DORIS HODGES Editor MARJORIE MILLER Business Manager MONTREAT COLLEGE Montreat, North Carolina In appreciation of his sincere and personal interest, of his ever ready cooperation in social activities, of his unbiased comments on current events, of his open-door policy at the manse, of his constant efforts to adapt his sermons to the comprehension of the student body, of his peculiar combination of the practical and the idealistic, we dedicate this book to 2), JoL W CJLJt _Joreword loot, oomna T jon treat, Progress— we over the twenty-two years O World, thou choosest net the better part! It is not wisdom to be only wise, And on the inward vision close the eyes, But it is wisdom to believe the heart. Columbus found a world that had no chart. Save one that faith deciphered in the skies; To trust the soul's invincible surmise Was all his science and his only art. Our Knowledge is a torch of smoky pine That lights the pathway but one step ahead Across a void of mystery and dread. Bid then, the tender light of faith to shine, By which alone the mortal heart is led Unto the thinking of the thought divine. —G. Santayana. [3] REV. R. C. ANDERSON. D. D. President DR.

Now visible, now lost Into the fading dusk of time .... Each silver thread an hour of life Fashioned by those who gave These vivid, illusive memories. Into this web they spun a thousand things— A smile, a sigh, a faded regret, A year of happiness, an hour of pain. And, brightest golden thread, a friend. Hold fast this fragile web. It holds the hopes and hearts of those Whose dreams we shared. And when the twilight lulls you Into that softly deepening slumber, Turn again to your silken web. And remember us in your dreams. —Doris Hodges. EVELYN MORRISON McClellanville.

President.........Bashia Chastain Y.P.C. President________________Rosetta Lollar In April, 1937, the Constitution and organization of the Student-Faculty Govern- ment Association were revised. The Student-Faculty Government Association consists of three separate divisions: The Cabinet composed of the above six officers who represent the student body mostly in matters of policies and discipline; the Senate which is composed of ten girls rep- resenting the various classes; and the House of Representatives which is composed of representatives who act as monitors from each hall. The aim of the Montreat College Student • Faculty Government Association is to provide a system of organization and policies which will give the student the highest degree of freedom and happiness without overstepping the rights of any other stu- dent. It is our ideal to build a student body which will attract others because of our happy days together.

The only requirement is that one keep actively at work on some hobby. Knitting and leather work were the most popular hobbies this year. UL The Lydians, founded by the students of the Commercial Department, fosters con- tacts between faculty and students. Its objects are to promote an interest in the busi- ness world of today and to acquaint the students with commercial terms and experi- ences. Meetings are held twice a month. Outside speakers, trips to industrial plants, and social programs create a variety of interest. An interesting feature is found in the origin of its name. Lydia, a seller of purple, was the first business woman mentioned in the Bible. dtj chans [26] Societies PUaUia The Philalethia Literary Society, composed of about sixty college students, pro- vides wholesome recreation and entertainment throughout the year.

Perhaps the Athletic Association gave you more pleasant memories than any other one organization in school. And why? Be- cause each girl felt that she had a definite place in some phase of school life. Set your brain a-whirling and think back to September 4 when for the first time you were picnic guests of the Athletic Association. What were your first impressions of the A. A. and its leaders? That was only the beginning of fun for hikers! What a joy to remember the all-day hike to Greybeard! A day full and complete in happiness and satisfaction. And don't forget the numerous breakfast and supper hikes. And Mitchell! Surely you remember riding the trucks, or hiking, or frying steaks, or getting a magnificent view (Continued on Next Pago) [28] President______________________Ellen Segars Secretary_____________________Dorothy Key Vice President________________Mary Andrews Treasurer...........................Jennie Hutton The M Club consists of those girls who excell in various sports. By much effort they have obtained their monograms and membership into the club, but have been repaid by the numerous enjoyable activities. of the surrounding mountains from the highest peak east of the Rockies! That will go down in your diary as something to tell your grandchildren. Don't you have a vivid mental picture of the Thanksgiving soccer game and the inch deep mud on the field? That was the time when the Odds played the Evens in an exciting and memorable game. That proved to be only one of the many tourna- ments which you enjoyed during the year. Will you ever forget the Student-Faculty basketball game and the dozens of laughs it afforded? And speaking of laughs, were you one of the girls who played with the three-foot-in-diameter cage ball? What fun we had! Probably the biggest attraction of the Association was the Carnival held in De- cember. Remember the merry-go-round, the ice cream cones, the hamburgers, the photographers, the fortune-tellers, and last but not least, the clever toy shop portrayed by the Physical Education classes? Will you again visualize the Sissy Soccer Team ? This was only one A. A. chapel program of the term. Speaking of programs, you will again thrill at the memory of those girls who were rewarded with Numerals. Monograms, and Chevrons. Remember these as a few of the pleasures you enjoyed through the Montreat College Athletic Association! £29] The annual May Day Festival of Montreat College was held on the campus lawn. The theme of the program was The History of Physical Education. Athletic activi- ties and representative sports from all ages were presented. The May Queen was Miss Elisabeth Welton of Moorefield, West Virginia, and the Maid of Honor was Miss Harvison Smith of Elkin. The Crown Bearer was Anne Pickelsimer. Other members of the court were: Misses Jennie Hutton, Martha Wood- son. Alice Davis, Mary Emily Oliver, Helen Knoblock, Jessie Collette, Margaret Sullivan, and Anne Hope Pyles. The program began with the entrance of the May Court, followed by the crowning of the queen. The pageant began with the Greek Period, and the physical activities of the next two scenes showed the strong military character of the Roman and Me- diaeval periods. In Scene IV was depicted the Merrie England of the Tudors. Scene V was a series of drills that represented the exercises of the 18th century. The final scene showed America Today.
