football, and softball. The athletic

As co-ed dorms, a no-curfew policy
and two-hour seminar classes become
reality, M-AC is gradually taking its
place as a four-year institution. A few
Just recently v/e were blessed to
have a great speaker, R. B. Wilkins,
come and remind us of one of America's
great leaders, Martin Luther King Jr.
R. B. graduated from Montreat with
an A.S. degree and then received his B.A.
degree from Lenoir Rhyne College. He
then attended Southeastern Baptist
Theological Seminary where he became
the first black to become Student Body
President. He is currently the minister
at East Grimes Avenue Baptist Church
In High Point, North Carolina.
R, B. Wilkins gave, us a vei7’
dramatic reading of Martin Luther
King's "I Have a Dream". It was very
powerful and intense with emotion.
King held on to his dream and it has
eventually led to greater peace between
all races. There will always be racial
tension but there is so much we have
accomplished and we’ve done so much in
letting freedom ring.
If King were alive now he would
probably be amazed at how far we have
come. His dream has come true and we
do walk hand in hand. King had a dream,
that dream lives on in many hearts
today, I pray that we too will carry that
dream in our hearts and do our best to
fulfil! it in our lives.
"Free at last! Free at lasti Thank
God Almighty we are free at last!"
years ago, the thought that a dorm
would be locked through a combination
known to its residents, who could enter
or leave under their own discretion,
was far from conceiveable here at
Montreat. Well, times change and
people and places must grow to meet
the changes.
As Montreat-Anderson develops into
a four-year institution, many
requirements must be met by the
faculty and staff and many privileges
are gained by the students. One such
privilege granted to Seniors is the
possibility of inclusion into Who's Who
