STUDENTS SACRIFICE
EXCESS CALORIES,
The World Student Service!
Fund drive is now in full swing
here at Montreat.
In chapel on Saturday, Febru
ary 2, Mary Jo Jackson, Sfudent
Government President, announced
to the student body plans for the
drive. Last week each studen't
was to keep a record of the amount
of money she spent for candy,
drinks and knic-knacs, and this
week to contribute that amount to
the W S S F and spend no money
for eats.
When Mary Jo asked if them
students would support the plan,
practically every member of ' the
student body stood and signified
her willingness to back up the
drive.
Prom the World Student Serv
ice Fund goes relief to many stu-
dentii in 18 war torn countries
around the globe. These students
need food, clothing, shelter, med
ical supplies, books, etc. The W
S S F, which is supported by stu
dents all over America, is trying
to give aid to as many of these
needy students as possible.
CREASMAN MAY QUEEN;
PEARCE MAID OF HONOR
FRESHMEN TALENT
WEEK FEB. 11-16
WANDA PEARCE
BEVERLY CREASMAN
Jo’s Boys
Those who attended the College
Dramatic Club play, Jo’s Boys,
on February 2 can vouch for the
statement that we have much
“male” talent among all of our
feminine pulchritude.
At Plumfield, Jo (Prances
Walker), now married to Profes
sor Bhaer (Katherine Melton),
presided over her now-grown up
brood and the home coming was
a jolly one. Emil, (Frankie Hall)
'the sailor, found Josie (Gayle
H:;ll) daughter of Meg (Lenore
Orr), now grown and they made
a match. Nan (Nancy Brunson)
finally persuaded Demi (Betty
Foster) that they should be only
fiiends. Teddie (Bobby Rea,)
Jo’s scapegoat son, kept the audi-
I nee in stitches. Dan (Suzanne
Merk) returned from the We.st,
still in love with Beth (Ruth Love
Lee) daughter of Amy (Mary El-1
Ion Lucas) and Laurie (Maryj
Craig), but he got discouraged!

Beverly Creasman, a sophomore
at Montreat College, was chosen
to reign as May Queen of the Col
lege by vote of the student body
in an election conducted by the
S. P. S. in chapel on January 26.
Wanda Pearce, a high school
senior, was elected Maid of Honor.
Beverly is the 18 year-old
daughter of Mr. aVid Mrs. C. E.
Creasman of 4 Cedar Cliff Road,
Biltmore Forest, Asheville. She
attended Lee H. Edwards High
School. Her younger sister, Char
lene, better known as “Charlie,”
is a sophomore in high school
here. Charlene has a twin broth
er, Charles, who attends school
in A.sheville. Beverly insists that
her sister is better known than
she • she says, “Charlene gets
around.”
Beverly is a slim dark-haired
beauty with brown eyes. Although
she isn’t particular about colors,
she likes yellow. Having attend
ed the Plonk School of Creative
Arts in Asheville, she is well-
known because of her outstanding
sewing ability.
Beverly and her roommate,
Charlotte Dennis, have their room
!n Fellowship decorated in a blue
and pink color scheme. As she
sat on her bed, Bev,erly, dressed
in blue jeans and a bright red
plaid shirt, explained that her pet
hate was crooked stripes. She
pointed to the pink and white
striped bedspreads. These, inci
dentally, had the uusal array of
“dumb animals” scattered over
them. j
Beverly, who was until recently
a Spanish grader for Miss Wat
kins, is president of the Spanish
Club. She doesn’t know yet wheth
er she will come back to Montreat
next year; she may go to the
University of North Carolina to
complete her education for cither
a lab technician or a secretary !
She thinks the new idea of a
course for church secretary at
Montreat is splendid.
For recreation, Beverly’s fav
orite snort is swimming. This
Hiwassee girl, who is a member
of the Athletic Board, made the
first team in soccer and basket
ball.
Beverly particularly likes sea
food “I could eat my weight in
shrimp,” she says, “I love it.”

Talent Week, February 11-16
found the Freshman buzzing about
like so many bees. “Shine your
shoes?”, “Want any errands run?”
and “Do you want your bed made
up?” seemed to be the current
freshman language.
Nancy Brunson, Gayle Hall,
Georgia Thompson and Mary
Louise Richardson cleaned, swept,
and scrubbed in the dormitories.
Betty Foster, Ruth Layne and
Ann McClintock ran the Montreat
Beauty Shop—finger waves, man
icures and the latest gossip.
Pat Cox hired Rachel Laney and
Betty Whittle to get her out of
bed in time for that second period
class!
Cope’s shoes were made like
new by Nancy McAllister’s new
secret formula.
Stacia' Evans is recuperating in
the Infirmary from washing Fel
lowship’s windows.
Although everyone’s sweaters
and rooms are shining clean, and
their grooming is perfect, the
Freshman let out a long sigh of
relief at the end of the week. It
was fun, but we’re glad to have
our class treasury overflowing.
The “Long Week-End”
Have you seen anyone trying
to catch up on all their back
work? I sure have, and in invest
igating the matter I was informed
Montreat College is giving away
Ian absolutely free “long week
end.” All the .studying was due
to the fact that since there had
been no work done since Christ
mas, one felt they should do a
little work, and besides one could
unjoy the week-end more with a
free conscience. “Well when is
this all to come about?” I asked,
dumbly. Seeing my friend was
too occupied with Spenser, 1 gazer*
at the calendar and there circled
brightly in red were the figures
22, 23, 24, and 25. ’fhat an.swered
that question, I thought. Then it
hit me! Why, that’s only 6 days
off, and there’s that sociology-
book I’ve been putting off, and
