EDITOR From the Editor’s Desk Chelsea R. Bober Since the beginning of the semester, I’ve been trudging around campus wearing shoes two sizes too big. Perhaps some of you have noticed my tired yet eager expression, my thoughtful silences, my awkward gait. Admittedly, these too-large shoes are metaphorical and if anyone actually comments on my posture. I’ll probably slug them. I am, of course, speaking of those shoes left by Caitlin Foreman, the last editor in chief of The Whetstone, once my formidable foreman, now my irreplaceable friend. As I enter my first semes ter as the head of Montreat’s student newspaper, with a few doubts and fears entwined within my excitement, I can only look to her example for inspira tion. Caitlin has taught me more about passion than any person I ve ever met. Perhaps it sounds trite, or needless because I am an enthusiastic person naturally—but in her leadership, journalistic stance, and friendship, she has taught me to hone my enthusiasm into effective passion. Direction without zeal is useless, just as zeal without direction is mere impertinence. As Cait- n lin showed me through her bold opinions, sharp wit and ceaseless hard work, passion is what makes The Whetstone and Montreat College great.^^ Marguerite Duras once called journalists “the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate. Caitlin was one such laborer of the world, and i cannot praise her enough. , . . i- j My goal for my time as editor in chief is simply to build on Caitlin’s example—to strive with passion, create literature through journalism, and to glorify God with all that He has given us.

Though I know only wonderful adventures await him, it is important to take a moment and recognize what a caring, influential, and amazing man we are losing. Mike was one of the best professors I had during my time at Montreat. He brought humor, wisdom, creativity, and innovation to the classroom; he fought tirelessly for Montreat students. Mike is an example in humility and strength. Thank you, Mike, for all you brought to the Montreat College community. You will be greatly missed. -Anonymous Mike Sonnenberg fan; former Montreat student
