Foreign Students Enroll
We’ve all just about gotten used
to the excited chatter of the Cu
ban girls, but I wonder if we’ve
noticed that two new countries
are being represented on the Mon
treat campus this year? They are
Puerto and Korea.
Herenia Morales, from Maya-
guez, Puerto Eico, was the first
of these two to arrive. Since we
couldn’t twist our tongues just
exactly the right way without
some real effort, we soon were
calling her “Here.”
“Here” spent nine months in
New York where she met her good
friend. Ester Arce, who is now
here in school. Ester, already hav
ing become a good Montreater,
persuaded “Here” to come to Mon
treat to school instead of going
to school in New York, as she had
originally planned.
“Here” attended the Polytech
nic Institute of Puerto Rico for
her first two college years and
is now a Montreat Junior. She
plans to major in English and
teach in Puerto Rico. “If,” she
adds, “I don’t get married first.”
Annie An, from Korea, arrived
in Montreat only a short while
ago. At the completion of her voy
age, Annie set foot on American
soil for the first time.
She says she has had no trouble
becoming a good Montreat girl as
we are no different from her. When
asked what she thought of Mon
treat, Annie replied, “I like the
place.”
Annie learned about Montreat
from an American Army officer
who became a friend of her soldier-
father, also in the American Army
during the war. He became her
sponsor and helped us to get
another good Montreat girl.

Vacancies
This year we have had several
changes in our student govern
ment. We regret that some of our
friends did not return, but we are
confident that our new officers
will be competent, consciencious,
and cooperative. Our Student
Body officers are President, Barb
ara Crawford; Vice-President,
Lida Martin.
The class representatives are
Senior, Martha Brown; Junior,
Charlotte Hisle; Sophomore, Mary
Don Doty.
We have also elected some new
officers in the classes. The senior
Class officers are President, Jean
Courreges; Vice-President, Barb
ara Gladstone; Secretary, Jean
Hart; Treasurer, Mary Louise Gue;
Junior Class President, Hope
Weideman; Sophomore Class Pres
ident, Dorothy Holcomb.
Annie is a Junior in High School
and, like many of us, isn’t sure
what she is going to do when she
gets out of school. I am sure that
her language will not handicap
her when she chooses her life
work, for she speaks and under
stands English beautifully, even
though she has had only two years
of English in school.
To these two girls and to our
Cuban friends. Ester Arce, Teresa
Balboa, Judith Balboa, Rica Cres-
pin, Yolanda Perez, Margarita
Orozco, Ena Yedra, Georgina An-
dino, Mirta Borges, Gloria Diaz,
Silvia Sanchez, Lilia Espinosa,
Lydia Flores, Connie Robledo, and
Olga Valdez, we extend a hearty
welcome. We know that you love
Montreat as much as we do.

Freshmen Choose Betty Marshall
MRS. QUILLEN SKETCHES
(Cont. From Page 1)
tracted to write six paragraphs
and a daily editorial which was
syndicated several years later.
During his career, Mr. Quillen
has had many honors. About 15
years ago, George Marshall, the
director of “Taproot” and Lamar
Trotti wrote the scenario, “The
Country Editor,” with Will Rogers
playing the lead as Robert Quil
len. Alexander Wool'cott chose
him as one of his 20 favorite
Americans in a series of broad
casts.
Besides his syndicated columns,
Mr. Quillen writes two daily fea
tures, “Willie Willis” and “Aunt
Het.” “Willie Willis” was once
translated into Dutch as “Pemmie
Pimm el”! He methodically keeps
well ahead with his work—'Six
weeks ahead on “Willie Willis,”
three months on “Aunt Het,” and
two weeks on his editorials.
Roy Anderson Vietdum, Mr.
Quillen’s illustrator, made an oil
painting of Aunt Het which hangs
in the library. The columnist
values it so highly that we jok
ingly instructed the Fire Depart
ment in case of a fire to save
“Aunt Het” first!
As to personal appearance and
taste, Mr. Quillen is quiet. He
wears conservative clothes, is a
Baptist and a Rotarian, and likes
plain food such as steak, potatoes,
and apple pie. His literary taste
leans toward the classical, histor-
ial, and biographical.
In addition to columnizing, Mr.
Quillen has written several books,
two of which are “The Path
Wharton Found” and “One Man’s
Religion,” MacMillan and Co.

For Year
That interesting and quite import
ant class the Freshmen, has had its
first meeting and elected officers.
These are Betty Marshall, presi
dent; Betty Bright, vice-president:
Willodeen Smith, secretary: and
Martha Holman, treasurer. The
Freshman sponsor is Miss Caro
lyn Fields. According to Mon
treat tradition, the Thanksgiving
banquet is the privilege and re
sponsibility of the Freshman.
Therefore, it was a topic of dis
cussion.
The Sophomore Class, whose
sponsor is Miss Boardman, is start
ing the year off right by planning a
the year off right by planning a
party for the Seniors the Monday
after Halloween. The president,
Jane Holt, presided at the class’s
first meeting of the year. The
new Sophomore officers are Vir
ginia Crowder, vice-president;
Jean Tussy, secretary; and Cordie
Hylton, treasurer.
Already concerned about the
all-important Junior-Senior Ban
quet, the Junior Class discussed
ways of making money. Since last
year’s Junior Class was quite suc
cessful in its Christmas-card vent
ure, the Juniors decided in favor
of a similar program and, inci
dentally, to use window-cleaning
only as a last resort! Miss Stead
ing was chosen sponsor. Class
officers are Eleanor Enloe, pres
ident; Betty Attwood, vice-presi
dent; Mary B. Dunbar, secretary;
and Algene Draper, treasurer.
The Senior Class, which has
chosen Miss Hoyt as its sponsor
every year, including this one,
since its members were Freshmen,
met and elected officers. The
president, elected last year, is Lu
cille Vaught. New officers are
Anne McClintock, vice-president,
and Pat Cox, secretary-treasurer.
