MISS COLLETTE

get the ‘Pivory Alaces," and how
hard we all tried to learn it that
"'ay. I must admit that we weren’t
as reverent as we might have been
in our efforts to mix the words of
the hynrns. I don’t think any of us
ever quite succeeded though.”
Miss Collette warned against
going out without being fully
clothed. “It won’t work.” When
she was here, students ate and
s opt in the Alba; and it seems
tiiat some of them found they
cou d sleep an extra half-hour by
"■earing a coat 4o breakfast over
cir pajamas instead of dressing,
the first time she tried it, she was
sure she was being very smart in
eceiving Miss Wade, who sat at
table. However, as Miss
“R^ ft leave she whispered,
Kuth, I believe I’d get up in time
0 dress for breakfast from now
on.”
In 1936, the year she was grad-
of Editor of the first issue
■e Sun Dial to inculde pictures
o all the classes; and when she
returned later as a teacher, she
"'as sponsor.
In September, Miss Collette,
President of the Alumnae As
sociation, plans to go to Brazil as
a missionary. In the meantime,
® e is busily working on plans to
increase the power of the Associa-
'■11 in Jilontrest policies.
Joan Rodrian Challenges
Cabinet At Installation
In a short, impressive service,

April 10. Each new officer pledg
ed, “I do hereby solemnly promise
before these witnesses to execute
faithfully the regulations and
policies of the Montreat College
Student-Faculty Government As
sociation, to uphold and maintain
the dignity of the office to which
I have been elected, and to per
form to the best of my ability the
duties which devolve upon such an
office, and to keep confidential all
discussions of the respective meet
ings.”
The new officers are the follow
ing: Jane Holt, president of the
rising Sophomore class; Jane
Cook, president of the rising
Junior class; Lucille Vaught,
president of the rising Senior
class; Betty Gibbs, Betty Mae
Holyman, and Clarissa Bridewell,

Joan Rodrian, the retiring presi
dent of the Student Government
Association, commissioned the in
coming president—
“Carey Lee, we learn from the
past, we can’t be too sure of the
future—that’s up to God—^but we
live in the present.
“There is one thought I want to
leave with you as you take your
office—perhaps you have already
thought of it. Montreat is not just
a college. Montreat is a spirit, a
feeling—you might even call it
an atmosphere, and every girl
who has it knows what I mean. Its
something you keep deep down in
your heart and no individual or
situation can take it away from
you—don’t forget it. It will live
in the heart of each girl wherever
she goes. You have this spirit;
that is why I am confident that
under your leadership, the Mon
treat student body will go for
ward.
“This is yours,*’ concluded Joan,
handing Carey Lee the mallet.
“May God’s will be done through
you this year.”

Council Holds Impressive
Candlelight Installation
The council of the Christian
Youth Fellowship, ’48-’49, was in
stalled Sunday, April 11, at the
evening vesper service.
The theme of the service was
“Let your light so shine before
men that they may see your good
works and glorify your Father
which is in heaven.” The retiring
officers of the Christian Asso
ciation passed their lights of serv
ice to the new officers by lighting
their candles from ones which they
carried. Gladys Goodman, retiring
president, reminded the student
body and the council members
that only hand in hand with God
can a place of real service be
found. Virginia Wood, the new
president, asked for the prayers
and cooperation of each girl in
order to make the new year a
successful one. Dr. King, Pastor
of the Montreat Church, spoke a
few words to the two councils.
The service was concluded by a
consecration service in which
everyone present also carried
candles of service and sang to
gether, “Seal us, 0 Holy Spirit.”
This was followed by the recess
ional of the councils singing
“Follow The Gleam.”
