Or do you believe in spirits? Have they told you that haunting element is very powerful, and being so sooner or later influences every life that attends Montreat College? Well, these things are true—and more! Montreat College is haunted by A SPIRIT THAT’S REAL. The spirit I’m talking about is not the type that is active on Halloween; it is not the type that walks only by night. It is not even of the family that associates with evil, or has any characteristic un desirable to the building of Christian character in youth. This spirit has far more influence than these. It has servants of its power unto the four corners of the earth, and these servants daily work I THANKSGIVING PLANS | Plans are getting underway for the traditional Thanksgiving festivities at Montrcat in the college and high school. Thanksgiving Day is set aside as Home coming day for the. alumnae, and every one is making a strong endeavor to get as many of our girls back this year as possible. The day will begin as a true Thanksgiving Day should in all corners of the globe—with a worship service. This will be in Gaither Chapel with our pastor, Reverend J. R. Williams,, directing our thought on prayer and "Thanksgiving. Later in the morning, the high school athletic association will have a soccer game, and in the afternoon, the college varsity team will challenge the .former “M” Club members in a daring game that should prove to be very exciting. The day will end with the annual Thanksgiving banquet at Assembly Inn sponsored by the college senior class. Everyone is requested to invite his rela tives and friends and especially to urge the alumnae to return to their alma mater on November 27. --Ttrinririnrirtnnrrinnri^^ ' CONGRATULATIONS From The S.P.S. ° To DORIS HINSON Winner of the DIALETTE Subscription Contest!

Among these servants are foreign missionaries, home missionaries, church workers, house wives, and career women, all carrying wi"h them a portion of the spirit that haunts us. The spirit I refer to is not unknown, for it walks not in darkness. It has been named simply “The Montreal Spirit” by those who have lived with it and know it best. I can’t say that I’ve ever heard a good definition of the Montreal Spirit, for its one of those things that cannot be ex plained in so simple a thing as words. It’s a thing that deals with the heart, and the soul. It makes a smile brighter, a day happier, a friend dearer; it makes the little things of life more important, and the big things easier to face. It gives personal honor, understanding, love and friendship a bigger place in life, and seems to make unselfish living a pleasure It is the type of thing that makes soccer practice more fun, and causes you to take a hike to Lookout on Sunday afternoon with some friends, instead of staying in your room to gossip. It causes you to be more considerate of your sleeping room mate, to be more thoughtful and polite to your friends. It challenges you to work harder, to set higher goals and put more effort to attaining them. The Montreal Spirit is known and talked about over all the Presbyterian Church, U. S. It is recognized for its desirability by the almnae near and far, and by friends and strangers, for it is, in reality, youth making an effort to be more like the Nazarene of two thousand years ago Other colleges have called our honor editor, associate editor, and business man ager.
