Deep within the soul of living things there dwells the searching cry that must be heard, the misunderstood emotion that begs for release, and the quiet fear that is too often suppressed. There exist uncertain needs, desires, and hopes which seem at times to be the last thread to which we cling. We are all the pieces of a complex puzzle-sometimes combined in smooth combinations with form, purpose, and meaning, but at other times lying separate and unbound. We receive guidance and direction from those before us, and yet the final decisions are totally ours. We question their wisdom; we sometimes resent their advice; and we shun their protection. Demanding the right to our own mistakes, we often express our inabilities and unreadiness to cope with a cruel, impersonal, uncaring world. We are the edge people that belong to two generations-one expressing innocence, carefree days, laughing hours, and inexperience; the other bearing the stem face of responsibility, courage, and maturity. We laugh; we search; we prepare; and we dream. We are the expressions of the past, the present, and the future. We are the expressions of ourselves. 4 5 We Have Arrived The beginning of the 1967-68 school year at Montreat meant standing in long lines and filling out numerous cards. It also meant meeting new people, and for many, adjusting to a new way of life. The first week was filled with orientation, registration, and the beginning of classes. The new surroundings meant getting lost, and the strange faces meant feeling shy. A bare room, wrinkled clothes, sore feet, “hello’s” and “good bye’s” were all a part of the new year. But, it was a good start. 6 Freshman? I’ll drink to that! “Freshman” Means . . . Confusion ... adjusting to life away from home. It meant having a second “Mom”, and making your own bed. It meant worrying about the hike up Lookout, and eating off the dirty cafeteria floor with only a knife. Making two trips to the mail box and finding it empty was a part of a daily routine. Quiet hours and study hall meant no “rocking out”. Dances and concerts were all a part of their completely different experi- ences ... the fun they had and the times they will never forget. 8 But the “Old Veterans” . . . And then she said. “Where’s Montreat?” ... were cool, calm, and uptight! They looked so confident, like they really knew what was happening.” The boys had cars and the girls had diamonds. Old friendships were renewed from the short summer months they had been apart. Each one had set his mind to studying hard and going to classes every day. How long would it all last for these experienced upper classmen? Rats Was it a boy or was it a girl? Neither, it was a rat! The sophomores eagerly anticipated Rat Week, and the freshmen really dreaded it. The traditional blue beanies that never arrived this year were replaced with MacDonald’s hats. Chaos in the cafeteria, a long hike in the wee hours, playing dead roach, and kissing a stuffed chicken were all a part of freshmen initiation. Work out! The climax of it all was the Rat Dance, sponsored by McMillan House and Sylvan Heights. In reward for their patience and good “sportsmanship,” the freshmen were entertained by the “Showmen.” It was a happy ending to a hectic week. All rats please raise your hands. FRONT ROW, L. to R.: Ginger Butler. Beverly Keith, Jeanne Clark. BACK ROW: Queen Elaine Stinson. Vicki Miller. Kathy Waldrop, Mary Lou Baker. Homecoming at Montreal Anderson College has always meant the traditional Rose Bowl” game, a queen and a court, a dance, and, best of all, seeing lots of old friends. This year was no exception. The “Rose Bowl” was played, and there was even a half-time show. There was a queen and a court, too. Elaine Stinson was crowned by last year’s queen, Sandra Lance. There was a dance. In fact, there was even an extra dance, sponsored by the Alumni Association. And old friends? There were plenty of those, too. Half-time at the “Rose Bowl.' Homecoming Queen Elaine 11 Get that one. He reported me for breaking in the cafeteria line. Winter is the season of enchantment at Mon- treat. Excited squeals greet the frosty morning air as students slide their way to 8:00 o’clock classes. Sledding on cafeteria trays quickly be- comes a major sports attraction, in spite of the numerous names on an increasing casualty list. 12 Winter Slippery ground is a good excuse to get to know someone better. Winter is also the season of flu-and M.A.C. certainly had its share. A bulletin board notice for students to get their flu shots evidently went unheeded as coughs, sneezes, and fevers let few students escape. Recovering patients enjoyed the luxurious surroundings of Assembly Inn. Yes, winter is that unforgettable season when an open fire, and a special person’s smile spreads warmth re- gardless of the degree outside. Brisk walks to the post office underneath bare tree branches-reluctantly leaving a warm bed to begin a brand new day-this is winter at M.A.C. 13 Yes. Operator. I’ll wait. Keep on pushin'! How Sweet It Is Queen Betty RudisiU. Sweetheart of Howerton Hall Who are the sweetest girls at Montreat-Anderson College? The Valentine sweethearts, of course! This year, each dormi- tory elected a girl as its sweetheart, and from the five girls a queen was chosen. The 1968 Sweethearts were Vicki Miller, May Lou Baker, Judy Wynes, Nancy Chappell, and Betty RudisiU, who was crowned queen at the Valentine’s Day dance. 14 Judy Wyncs, Sweetheart of Fellowship Hall Nancy Chappell, Sweetheart of College Hall MAY 196 s. Like a breath of spring. May Weekend at M.A.C. is a fresh, carefree, exciting time. The rapture of May calls students to forget for a while the exams only two weeks away, and sway to the beat of a top band with one’s best beau or girl. 11� - TUE WEDTW- TK za FR 1 4 May Weekend is climaxed with the crowning of the May Queen on the lawn surrounded by her court.

The Sophomore Class has been proud of its many successful activities. Some might like to relive these past two years, but the end has come, and cherished memories are all that remain ... except the hopes for a brighter future. All the griping and groaning that accompanies tests and themes and reports will pass from memory, believe it or not; sophomores will remember only the good, happy, crazy times.

Being a freshman isn’t easy. It begins dark and lonely, when the impressions of a glamorous, independent life at college, fade with the reality of true college living. M.A.C. class of ’69 has made significant contri- butions through active participation in club activities, intramural sports, and dorm life. Their display of pride and ambition promises strong future leadership. FRESHMAN OFFICERS: Representative.

All students enrolled at Montreat Anderson are members of S.G.A. The purpose of Student Government is to encourage the maturity of both the individual and the community through the responsibilities of self-government. With the best interest of the college and the students as its primary responsibility, the S.G.A. promotes the standards of the Honor System in all phases of college life. 54 Morrison: Jane Ashenhurst; Kathy Bums: Linda Recommendations, changes, and legislature decisions are the primary duties of the Legislative Branch of S.G.A. This branch, is composed of S.G.A. President, Bo Lowery,Vice- President, Mike Morrison, Secretary-Treasurer, Betty Rudisill. and other elected student leaders. The Student Legislature meets at least once every two weeks to consider and render decisions on all recommendations from the Standing Com- mittees of S.G.A. When changes or new legislation is proposed by the legislature, the proposal is posted on the bulletin board within 24 hours after the meeting has adjourned. Action is taken on the proposal at least a week after the proposed legislature has been posted. This year, the S.G.A. has succeeded in putting the requirement for Church and Chapel attendance on the Honor System. They also have strengthened the value of sophomore privileges for girls by granting them a 12:00 o’clock curfew on Friday Night, and 1:00 o’clock on Saturday Night. Man at the Top, Mr. Bo Lowery. 55 The student at Montreat Anderson is well aware of the emphasis that the college places on his spiritual development, discipline, and activi- ties. The original character of the college pro- posed by the Presbyterian founders states “that those attending the college receive a sound and thorough Christian Education suitable to their needs.” Regular attendance at chapel and Sunday church service is required.

S.C.A. also sponsors the Sunday night vesper service. All students enrolled at Montreat- Anderson are members of S.C.A. 57 College College Hall girls started the year with a brother-sister dorm party. Rat week followed, and the sophomores really put the freshmen through their paces! In October the girls gave a slumber party for all the girls on campus. During Christmas week. College Hall had a tree decorating party, and in January the girls held the second annual College Hall Carnival. Second semester began with the usual resolution to study hard, and College Hall added to the old routine a few moments in prayer each evening. In February they sponsored a concert by Josh White, Jr., and planned a special Valentine’s Day dinner in the cafeteria. After a refreshing Easter vacation, the girls returned to hold a “flea market,” another creative “first” for College Hall. The year ended with the freshmen throwing a going away party for the sophomores, and the girls sang together the “College Hall Song” for the last time. Social chairman Sue Ford and “Mom” Rccd.

A million memories will all pass us by. But we'll not forget all our friends and the Lasting ties. We are the fortunate, we are the rare. We all have something in common to share. Something we love, cherish, hold in esteem. That is our own dear College Hall. Proud are we to say where we're from Ours is a home like no other one Home where we honor each other's rights.

Pert Kathy Burns rolls off the names of a lobbyful! of sleepy-eyed girls who respond automatically. In the course of an hour or less. Howerton girls have been reminded about their sign-out cards, scolded about the empty Coke” bottles in their rooms, and then informed of the coming activity which is in the planning stage. This year Howerton pushed off the new year as hostess to New Hall in a Brother-Sister Dorm Party. This invitation was repaid at a New Hall Halloween Party. The annual Christmas Party climaxed a week of “Angels and Mortals”. Spring brings “Chaos” as all girls in the dorm participate in some way. Howerton will always be a part of her residents, as the last Howerton girls leave behind their legends, traditions, and their love. You can take the girls out of Howerton, but you can never take the Howerton out of the girls. HOWERTON OFFICERS: Kathy Bums. President; Marie Lackey, Secretary; and Debbie Rosford, Chaplain. We love you. Mom Hodge. No, Kathy. Howerton girls can’t sunbathe in tire parking lot! 61 Fellowship The “Big Switch” at Montreat this year happened in Fellowship Hall. The boys moved out, and the girls, true-to-form, took over. In the fall. Fellowship girls sponsored a concert by the Warner-Porter-Warner folk singing trio. During the Christmas season they kept the spirit with a party and many hours of around the piano singing carols with Mom”. The peak of hard work and fun combined- came in March with their planning and pulling off the “Shipwreck” dance with the “Inmenn”. Organizing a new dorm wasn’t easy. The girls in Fellowship worked hard and had many rewarding experiences. Mom Perkins accompanied her girls in Christmas Carols. FRONT ROW (1. to r.) Judy Maultsby, Beverly Gunn, Jean Eskridge.

They started the year with a party for the incoming freshman and ended it with the traditional May Dance. In between, the boys arranged a train trip to Hickory for a Newberry football game, and planned a Christmas Dance that had to be cancelled because of a virus epidemic. The boys’ “Dorm Spirit” and willingness to work together made it an active and successful year for New Hall. Nothing like a friendly game of cards.

The contention that the “CCUN is Communist” is vir- tually false. In fact, the club’s activities of the past year, such as sponsoring a lecture by the dean of U.N. correspon- dents, Alexander Gabrieli, sending dele- gates to the model U.N. Assembly at Chapel Hill, and preparing an “inter- national supper,” all proved to be very democratic and American. L. to R.: Jan Shepard.

Dial Lynn Wooftcr, photographer After nine months of blood, sweat, and tears, the SunDial staff is happy (and relieved) to present you with the SunDial ’68. In developing the theme of the book, we observed many kinds of expressions; verbal, facial, impulsive, and pre- meditated. We have found expressions in people's eyes, on their lips, and in their actions, and we have tried to capture them as they were made.

Other team members were Glenn Meetze and Steve Austin, who played strong doubles, David Richardson, and Larry Wood. 97 Track The varsity track team enjoyed its best season since its inception at Montreat- Anderson College two years ago.

Alexander Pope . . thought is in the air, but its expression is necessary to create a tangible Spirit of the Times Elbert Hubbard “Of every noble work the silent part is best, Of all expression, that which cannot be expressed.” W. W. Story 108 109 A YEAR ... it was groovy, psychedelic ... the year of gentle hippies and violent riots. It was a year that cried out for peace, but found itself tangled in war. There was the “Pueblo” crisis in Korea, the revolution in France, and the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. in the United States. The Viet Nam peace talks were begun in Paris. It was the year of Valley of the Dolls and ‘The Graduate”; of ‘To Sir, With Love” and the “Funky Broadway.” Country music lovers mourned the death of Otis Redding. 110 OF EXPRESSION At Montreat, it was a busy year. Daisies and collages were our kick. We “worked out to the music of the “Showmen” and the “Swingin’ Medallions”; and we echoed the folk songs of Josh White. Jr. In December, a virus sent throngs of us to Assembly Inn hospital, and in January, the snow and ice dared us to walk without falling. In May, we remained undaunted by the rain as the enchantment of our May Weekend overtook us. Yes, it was a good year . . . groovy .. . psychedelic ... full of expression ... but hard to express. 111 112 113 114 115
