McElroy CHRISTMAS GIFTS . I wonder what kinds of pres ents you are going to take your family and friends. By this time you probably have your plans all made and already have various intriguing packages in your suit case. But what kind of present are you yourself going to be?— a worthless bauble wrapped up in fancy trimmings or a real per son, thoughtful and helpful? Wherever you are there will be dishes to be washed, floors to be swept, and countless other things to be done. What a wonderful present for your mother or your friends to find a real Christmas fairy helping, and a fairy so quick so cheerful, so willing! You are so happy to be going home and your family will be so glad to see you. It there a chance they will be glad to see you leave when vacation is over? They might be if you take them trou ble or anxiety or fretfulness. But you won’t do that, for you want to take the best possible gift and that will be your best poss ible self. Then you will have that happy, excited, blissful feeling that only the Christmas time can give you, and you will be keep ing Christmas in the spirit of the Christ. May it be a truly happy time for all of you. In the November issue of ETUDE there appeared an article entitled “Ninety Years in Music,” paying deserved tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Crosby Adams, of Mon treat, who were married the same year the ETUDE was founded. We recommend their article for your reading for it will help us all to appreciate better the work and lives of these two wonderful “young” people. We use the word “young” advisedly, because, al though Mr. Adams reached the ninety-year mark on December 1, and Mrs. Adams will celebrate her ninetieth birthday in March, they are truly young. Thanksgiving morning you wit nessed a very special occasion when Mr. Adams directed and Mrs. Adams played the accom paniment as the choir sang “Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem,” I a lovely work composed by Mrs. Adams and used for many years by the college choir at Thanks giving time. After teaching other people’s music for twelve years, Mrs. Adams began writing to suit her own pupils. The notes fairly flew from her able fingers, until now she is distinguished throughout In the ETUDE you will find a full account of these “whose beau tiful devotion to each other has made their lives truly an idyll set to music.” ED SAYS This Christmas season makes us feel so cheerful, so good-natur ed, so “right with the world”; wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could store up enough to last all year!

Montreat is more than a college Montreat is more than an institution for learning. Montreat is a lot of little things. It is the moon reflected in Lake Susan, the towering peak of Lookout Mountain, the freshness of spring rain and the beauw of new-fallen snow. It is the radiant smiles on faces the friendlv talks with the faculty, the cheering at ball games, the ’gay greetings ringing across the campus and the hurried flights to classes It is tL reverence of Sunday morning church; the beauty of God’s nature and the prevailing spirit of love. It is the joy of the present the hope of the future and the media of the past. What is Montreat> This is Montreat to me.
