This was really more than any ordinary formal banquet, for it was also a date affair. Many of the girls asked their friends up, while others dated boys from Davidson, Mars Hill, Asheville, Christ School, and Chapel Hill. The banquet, beginning at seven o’clock, was held in the dining hall of Assembly Inn. The welcome speech was offered by the president of the Junior class, Madge Brownlee.

Everyone enjoyed the songs sung during the banquet by Mr. David Nache and Miss Joy Hard. Mr. Nache sang “You Do,” “Sweet, Sixteen,'” and “Always.” Miss Hard sang “Stardust.” After the banquet, everyone made a rather drasitic change of clothing for the hayride; and three truckloads of happy people rode off to laugh, sing, and have fun until almost midnight. 'Thus ended a long-to-be-remem bered evening for the Juniors and Seniors. “GUIDING STAR” (Continued from Page 1) considers teaching school on an air base in Puerto Rico, where her sister is living. “Corney” had several reasons for returning to Montreat after she graduated in ’46: the expenses were low, she could get the majors and minors she wanted, but most of all, she says she wanted to be loyal to her Alma Mater so it could grow.

It’s been a year to remember, from the first parties ’way back in September to the goodbyes at commencement time. There was the excitement of making friends and of seeing old ones. Then came the club meetings and that Wonderful day at Chim ney Rock. Despite the frequent attacks of homesickness, long weekend came quickly, followed by the hard work of learning to study all over again. Afterwards came Thanksgiving Day with the crowning of the Soccer Queen and the banquet It wasn’t long ’til Christmas and will we ever forget our Christmas Angels? 'This spirit of love abounded and helped to give us a richer appreciation of the Christmas Music Program and the heart-stirring pageant. And then, just before we went home, there was the big Christmas tree, and the thrilling discovery of who our “angels” had been. Soon came Valentine’s Day and *"The Land of Bon Bons.” Close on its heels ran the George Wash ington Party and the fun of trying to rig up authentic costumes. Mrs. Crosby Adam’s concert was one of the year’s highlights, as was the reception honoring her and Mr. Adams on their ninetieth birthdays. The High School Junior-Senior Banquet was out of this world, especially since the campus was liberally sprinkled with men for the occasion. Of course, according to the College girls, theirs, which came a few weeks later, was rather wonderful too. There was an exciting trip to Biltmore Estates; and the follow ing weekend, a grand rush, as the girls attending the Vacation Bible School Institute spent almost every waking moment in class. “He’s the captain of the Pina fore”—Anderson was packed to the ceiling when the High Schoo’ Glee Club presented “H. M. S. Pinafore,” and we went around humming the rollicking lyrics for days following. The school year is almost over now, yet there are many thing, to come—piano recitals, the Senior play. Class Day, May Day. Alumnae Luncheon, finally Bacca laureate and Commencement.
