Montreat Girl!
Now when a Alontreat Girl walks
down the street—
Isn’t it the most glorious sensation
to sing that song? You stand a little
straighter and feel a little warmer
inside—A Montreat Girl—not a
“new girl” or an “old girl” as the
title went the first week or so—but
a Montreat Girl. And that sorta’
links you with every other Montreat
Girl into a “Montreat Family”.
Yes, you’re now a very vital part
of Montreat.
She looks a hundred per from head to
feet—
That’s right—there is a certain look
about a Montreat Girl—Maybe it’s
the way you feel about things that
just shows all over and makes you
look natural and yourself.
She has a word, a smile, a winning
way—
Of course, did you ever see a Mon
treat Girl see any one on the canipus
that she didn’t have a ready smile
for—A Montreat Girl that didn’t
like to stop and chat-a-while, just for
the fun of it? We hope not!
And when you see her, boy, you’ll
recognize her and you’ll say—
Now there’s a girl I’d like to know—
Which girl? A Montreat Girl, na
turally, and why not get to know
her? There is nothing more lovely,
more satisfying, more inspiring than
friendship. Take time to make
friends—to talk with them, to be in
terested in them, to help them and
to love them. They will make you
richer than a millionaire, and hap
pier than a lark!
She has that Montreat spirit, pep, and
go—
Well, here we meet with “that Mon
treat spirit” again—that “thing” that
no one has ever defined. Maybe
you haven’t quite met “it” yet, but
I promise you that you will be on
the best of terms with “it” before
many months. Someone said that
• “it” is ■ a by-product of everything
at Montreat. Could be—You’ll sec!
The New Year
Has Begun
Oh! but this year looks full of prom
ises and new" experiences, those w'hich
will really help us to maintain the
Christian Standards and develop our
selves Spiritually as well as mentally.
We, the Y. P. C. Council members,
want to take this opportunity to give
a cheer for those familiar faces who
returned this year. To the new girls
w'e want to extend the heartiest of wel
comes and to offer our services in any
way that we may be of assistance.
As you have gathered by this time,
the Y. P. C. has certain ideals for
w^hich it stands: at all times, friendli
ness; to have Christian fellowship with
one another; to have faith and to give
our services to Christ as well as our
fellowmen; to recognize that Christians
hate sin but not sinners; and to keep
hatred out of our lives, of our nation
and therefore, out of our international
thinking.
It’s quite a job, I know, but we are
certain you can all do it, so come on!
Your cooperation is what we need.
Now a toast to a prosperous year
full of knowledge and heaps of fun and
good fellowship together.
—Ruth Smith, Pres.
High School Y. P. C.
Pep and go! Who doesn’t know
what we mean by that! Pep is the
thing that makes you go out for the
sports (soccer, right now), the sings,
the class projects, the friendly get-
togethers and all other activities. Go
is the thing that sends you there
with so much enthusiasm and in
terest.
And just to look at her is quite a treat
It’s hard to beat
A Alontreat Girl.
,'\re you beginning to see the light as
to what a magnificent heritage you
have as a MONTREAT Girl?
—Mary fo Jackson, President,
Student Government Association.
Class Added
Going up! Yes, that’s Montreat
College on the way to the top. The
year 1945-46 finds Montreat breaking
all former records and opening with the
largest enrollment in history, a student
body of 400 members. Furthermore,
for the first time Montreat proudly
boasts a Junior College class and is on
its way to having a Senior College
class next year.
Does the headline of this column
look familiar to some of you? The
first issue of the paper year before last
and last year carried the same head
line. The fact that it can be used again
this year proves that Montreat is really
on the upward road.
Not only the student body has
grown, but the faculty has also increas
ed in number. New members of the
faculty include: Miss Frances Corry,
teacher of piano and High School Eng
lish; Mrs. W. A. Macaulay, who teach
es High School French and English;
Miss Leila Kirtland, instructor of High
School English and Bible; Mrs. How
ard Morland, High School English
teacher; Mrs. Clara Culpepper, who
is house mother in Alba dormitory;
Mrs. Elma Randal, in the Music De
partment; and Mrs. Mary Jane Clif
ford, in the Physical Education De
partment.
In former years, no classes have
been scheduled for Monday. How
ever, this year, due to the growth of
the student body. Sophomore and
Junior College girls have classes six
days a week.
Yes, Montreat College is on the way
to the top. May it continue to grow
in the future as it has in the past.
