May, 1946 THE DIALETTE Page Five Remember? It was early one Monday morning, When out of my room I flew. My hair was in ten pigtails, (quite stylish ’tis true) Tied with ribbons galore, with out any bobby pins. My lips were unpainted, no tech nicolor grins. Just upon arrival at the bottom of the stairs. Who should appear? but “Old Board Members” by pairs! Remember your duty and respect, to say, “You are my great superior, I am your inferior, I make myself humble and obed ient before you.” Be humble and obedient more ev- ei'y day. My clothes were on backwards, and wrongside out. Whenever people saw us, they’d laugh and shout! Just wait until Friday; we’ll show all of you— What a real, genuine egg shampoo we can do! My twin greets me that morning right at the door, “Get busy you slave and mop the floor,” G'r “polish my shoes, and do them nice” ‘‘Make up the bed or you’ll pay the price.” You’re an “old Board Member, if . you’re popular, admit Because you autograph daily, each new one must get Inititiations are swell and unfor gettable too— Just ask the New Members! They will tell you. SPORTS Montreal H. S. Girls Recalls Events of Sports Calendar NUTS AND BOLTS Gaither Hall seemed strangely deserted as I entered its air con ditioning door. Something was drastically wrong, I thought, puzzled. Oh! Now I had it. There were no people. No chattering Pfroup at the bulletin board, no impatient line at Miss Wade’s door, and, to make the situation even more peculiar, I couldn’t even hear Jean Webster’s voice shat tering the silence—or the ears of the dean. Over in one dark corner there was a wretched bit of humanity mumbling and mut- (Continued on page 6) As I sit here with my worn, but ever-good scrapbook of Montreat memories, there are many things that stand out vividly in the Sports Section. Let’s look back The road we’re travelling starts out a deep green, and its Septem ber. Everyone is getting to know everyone else better, and the best meeting place is the soccer field. Soccer is new to you, but because you’re a Montreat Girl you learn how to play—and whats more you make the team. Its a great life here at school and you make it greater by playing in the Novem ber t?rd night game between the Seniors and Juniors (the Seniors won). As we ride along memory lane the trees are gradually changing; and you love the fall colors. Thanksgiving, there is an other exciting game. The “M” Club vs. Varsity, with the ‘‘M” Club winning. The latter part of November the “M” Club played the College. The yellow and white tribe colors of the Chlchassaws proclaimed the winners. Oh, I almo.st forgot something else that was outstanding in No vember. Remember that Monday, November 5, when so many of us oiled into trucks and went bounc ing merrily on our way to Mount Mitchell, and then hiked up the mountainside to the top? For many it was the first trip to Mitchell, and they’ll never forget that pretty little forest and the sights on top. Burrr!! our road seems to be "•etting winterier and winterier doesn’t it? Every now and then we run into a snowstorm. Right before Christmas we find our- sMves in the midst of Indoor Snorts. Chinese Checkers, Por- chesi, and horseshoes play im portant parts in this event. Surely the next bump in the road couldn’t be good ole basket ball, could it? The January 19th college Board vs. Faculty game was, simply a scream, and its rare ness will long be remembered. Then our “M” Club played the College—That, too, was a great game), Then on March 2nd the “M” Club played the Varsity, and again was victorious. The red and white Apache' colors floated this time. Oh, another rut, and we’re pull ing up at Volleyball Lane. Some games were indoors; others, out doors. Remember “Referee Jean” as she sat on her tall ladder trying to keep track “of it all.” The Chickasaws were again the tourn ament winners. Then on the night of April 6th came to the board installation. There were two fires—one Signi fying the old board and the other the new. April the 16th was the date of the Board’s “Bon Bon Land.” Remember ‘‘Bon Bon,” “Caramel,” and that scarey “Spir it of Cocoa-Cola?” Hungry? Well, friends, we’re come to “Spring Oasis,” and again our road is getting much greener. Baseball is over, too. It’s almost May 20th and the end of the year. Dear me, I do believe I see a tear sneaking meekly down your cheek. I know why that lil’ tear is there. (What’s more. I’ll bet there are more on the way.) Its there be cause down deep inside of you you know you’ve had a wonderful year —and somehow you just hate for it all to end. You’ve loved the girls on your tribe and all the others are swell, too. Now, I’ve finished my scrapbook of memor ies. Its late, and I’m sleepy; I’m going to put the teeth out, brush the cat, wind the bed, and get into the clock. SPANISH CLUB HAS ELECTIONS The Spanish Club met April 6, 1946, to elect their officers for the coming year. The election was as follows President, Jean Dingus; vice-president, Alice Poy- ser; secretary, Victoria Samburg. The members extend congratu lations to the new officers, and feel sure they will be of great service to the Spanish students. The Iranian flag consists of stripes of pale green, symbolizing Mohammedanism; white, for peace and red, for courage and sacrifice. Clyburne And Other Board Members Installed o Saturday night, April 28 at 9:30 in Central Park, the new mem bers of the College Athletic Asso ciation were installed. For the ceremony there was a large fire in the center of the circle of girls from which. the torches of the old members were lighted and they in turn lighted the torches of the ones who were to take their place. Doris Roys ter turned over office of President to Jo Clyburn. After this they .sang “Auld Lang Syne” and threw their torches on the fire, which blazed high and spread its bright light over the park. The old and new members then sang the Board song. Doris was formerly vice-presi dent, but became president at the beginning of the second semester when the president withdrew from school. Jo served on the Board during the term 45-46 as treasurer and is now at the head of the organ ization. Jean Graham, new vice- president, served on the Board this year as Navajo tribe chief.
