I consider it a real privilege
to have this way of sending greet
ings and good wishes to our Mon
treat group and friends. This is
a wonderfully fine number of
people. I am saying wherever I
go that Montreat College has been
made by some who were willing
to give money for its develop
ment, but largely by a group of
superior women who have taught
here. Then I have always added
with emphasis that we have at
tracted to us unusual girls. Of
this I am increasingly certain.
Because of the above facts and
the evidence that our Church
loves Montreat, we rejoice as we
think of what is yet to be. Surely
those of us who are here now,
greatly in that which oth
ers have done, can continue Mon
treat’s growth towards the
achievements of the biggest dreams
of her best friends for her. We
are grateful for that which has
been accomplished, and we are con-
. fident of her future in blessing
thousands of young lives and
through them the life of our
Church and country.
In the development of Mon
treat College our students have
had a real part. We know they
have done well here because they
have stood high in other colleges
and in every field of service into
which they have gone. Their
The honor system is for you.
Use it. Let it help you. You help
it to work. How? By meaning and
doing what you promise when you
make the pledge of honor. In it
you promise to maintain a high
standard of honor for yourself,
and to help others do, or learn to
Jo, the same thing. After the mak
ing of this pledge, you are a
member of the Student Govern
ment Association of Montreat
College.
record is a most enviable one.
Mrs. McGregor and I have been
made glad many times since com-
mg to Montreat by the gracious
things which have been said to
us about our students. One of
our Church leaders who travels
widely across our Church, meet
ing with various college and
young people’s groups, told us
last spring that more lovelier or
more capable young women could
not be found in our Church.
There are many things that we
must needs do together in the
growth that is to be for our High
School and College. Our love and
zeal for Montreat will mean one
ness of mind and heart in our
work together. This is to be
notably evident as we plan and
serve in these next months. Great
things are to be as we allow Him
Who is the great Head of the
Church to guide and bless us. He
has better things for us than we
can plan for ourselves. May we
allow Him to do for us and
through us that which He wants
to do.
We have the privilege of hav-
ng a Student Government, but
remember that “privilege” can al
most always be spelled r-e-
s-p-o-n-s-i-b-i-l-i-t-y.

Where can we find dates for
the Seniors with a newly-acquired
privilege of dating unchaperoned?
YES, YOU
We wish to say officially — in
black and white — “We’re glad
you’re here.” You’ve been told
that many times, but not for such
a good reason as ours. Just think,
if you weren’t here, we’d have no
news—and, hence^ no newspaper.
Oh, there might be a few items of
minor importance—like the UN
or the 1948 Presidential campaign,
or Presbyterian Church union,
but nothing really big. So, we
repeat, We’re glad you’re here!
Mrs. McGregor joins heartily
with me in this expression of joy
in anticipation of our coming year
together. We v.mnt to help and
serve in whatever way we are
able.

President

newspaper without a staff? It’s
“nigh” to impossible. But our

Hasn’t the food at the cafeteria
been good? And don’t you think
our dietician and her helpers de
serve not only applause and ap
preciation but also cooperation in
whatever we can do to help them?

Have you stopped to look at
Montreat and its mountains in
their late-summer array of color?
And those sunsets! If I were a
poet, I’d immediately wax poetic
at the sight of the virtually inde
scribable beauty of a sunset
viewed from the cafeteria steps.
