Sunday School Class
Thanksgiving Projects
At a very beautiful and impressive
ceremony, the Sunday School classes
presented their Thanksgiving projects
immediately following the Y. P. C. pro
gram on Sunday night, November 21.
Everyone had a part in preparing these
gifts, and it makes us ah happy to be
able to help someone at the Thanks
giving season.
As the president of each college class
called the' number of her class, she
asked the class to stand as she present
ed the gifts. All of the college Sunday
School classes sent their gifts to the
Black Mountain Orphanage.
Senior College Class number one
gave as their gift two pecks of apples
and a peck of oranges, while the Senior
College Class number two presented
the orphanage with a basket of orang
es. Junior Sunday School Class num
ber one presented two boxes of stick
candy which also was to aid in making
the children of the orphanage happy,
and Junior Class number two gave
them a large box of mixed fruits. As
there was to be a Thanksgiving ban
quet at the orphanage, Junior Class
number three made favors of chewing
gum and candy.
The Senior High School Class sent
a Thanksgiving box to Sonny, the lit
tle crippled colored boy whom this
class “adopted” when they were Fresh
men. The Sophomore High School
Class number one and Freshman High
number two have presented magazine
subscriptions for use in the Infirmary.
Junior High School Class number two
is trying to get bed lamps for the In
firmary, and if this is not possible, this
class is also going to subscribe to a
magazine for the Infirmary.
Sophomore High School Class num-
, ber two is giving as its gift carol books,
coloring books, crayons, and other ma
terials to the primary department of a
newly organized chapel in Valdosta,
Georgia.
We are glad that we could also help
our own Montreat College at Thanks
giving. Let us all thank our Maker,
who was the perfect gift sent from
above, that we could help to make
someone happy by giving and remem
ber that “it is more blessed to give
than to receive.”
