Page Four THE DIALETTE Montreat College Campus Clippings COLLEGE “The day is cold and dark and dreary, It rains, and the wind is never wearyP Some people call it “The Rainy Day” by Longfellow, which is proof that he lived in Montreat, in spite of what his biographers might say to the contrary. What could be more inspiring to a budding poet than a wet day in Mon treat in September? (By the time a poem could be composed, the budding poet would have blossomed.) There are subjects and subjects to try one’s poetic ability, but the subject of which we speak tries more than one’s ability; it tries one’s patience as well. The rain is wonderful, though; 1 even love to walk in it (most worms do!), but it’s very inconvenient when you have to roll over a barrel each time you come in from a walk in order to rid yourself of the buckets of rain you swallow. And by the time you’ve walked down one pathway, if there are any people behind you you have a tan—in spots—especially if your mud guards aren’t working. It’s more fun if you’re freshly pressed and going somewhere and you are suddenly there—in a mud puddle. (Morale: Get your chains ad justed to fit your wheels). Rain, when you're jeelin’ blue Rain, that’s what it will do .. . (I could go on paraphrasing, but ’nuff said). Rain has been known as a definite cure for homesickness. Even if you could cry your eyes dry, there’s too much competition when it’s raining cats and dogs outside. Better be care ful about your tears—there’s no telling what may be in them besides salt water (and we don’t want to start a men agerie). No use to discuss rain, though. There’ll be rain in Montreat long after our great-grandchildren discover Vir ginia. Besides, I’m beginning to feel like Thomas L. Masson! “When I get time— / know what I shall do: I’ll cut the leaves of all my books HIGH SCHOOL Montreat 1945-46 started off with “Stormy Weather,” but we’re hoping for a “Blue Heaven” before long, so everyone can get “In The Mood” for soccer. Whether you arrived “On the Atchinson, Topeka, and the Sante Fe,” or the “Chattanooga Choo-Choo” we hope what you found at the end of your “Sentimental Journey” will please you “Till the End of Time.” Even if you are “A Little on the Lonely Side” at first, and “Dream” of “Bell Bot tom Trousers” just “Take it Easy” and remind yourself—“I’ll Get By!” By the time May rolls around you won’t be sighing “I Wish I Knew” where to go, what to do, etc., but “Montreat,” “You Belong to My Heart” “The More I See You!” When swimming was in season, a new girl went in the lake. Under the influence of something or other she wandered up to the deep end—I al most forgot—she couldn’t swim! At any fate she went under about four times, and when she was at last drag ged back to safety someone asked her if she was scared—she said, “Why, no —I was just trying to find the bottom so I could walk back in to shore!” And read them through and through. ‘When I get time— I’ll write some letters then That I have owed for weeks and weeks To many, many men (—er, wom en). “When I get time— I’ll pay those calls I owe. And with those bills, those countless bills, I will not be so slow. “When I get time— Oh glorious dream of bliss! A month, a year, ten years from now— But I can’t finish this— I’ve no more time.” —Dot Jean Sandefer College Humor, Do you enjoy writing?
