November, 1948
Halloween
Parties
The eve of Halloween brought
strange looking characters out of
the halls of Fellowship and Col
lege Hall.
There seemed to be two general
directions in which these people
were headed. One group went to
the Rec. Hall where the Sopho
mores entertained the Seniors.
The interior was decorated with
cornstalks and fall leaves, bright
ened up with orange balloons and
streamers. There was ghostly
light over the entire room.
There were witches in long
black gowns, ghosts in spotlessly
white sheets. There was someone
in a flaming red attire with a
long, black pitchfork and tiny red
horns. Another was enveloped in
black and starkly named “Death.”
There was a real bathing beauty
of the early twenties, and some
brownies walking around in
crackling paper suits. All quite
calmly bobbed for apples or
pushed peanuts around with their
noses. The calmness was pierced
with ear-splitting screams from
the House of Horror where some
one had picked up some gruesome-
ly-named object. For refreshments
doughnuts and witches’ brew, a
mixture of apple juice and ginger
ale, were served.
The other group went to And-
elk Lodge. Here the old maid
freshmen entertained the eligible
junior bachelors in honor of Leap
Year. Doddering old ladies with
warts on their noses, and with a
slight deafness in both ears, and
spry old men with little black
derbies all ascended to the Old
Maids’ Convention.
There among gay streamers and
waving banners, they behaved in
the traditional manner, each old
maid with a confident grasp on
her old bachelor. There amid
much proposing and quick accept
ing they sang and giggled, talked
and told each other their very
frank, first impressions of each
other.
Before the convention adjourned
they were served wedding cake
and cocoa; and long before the
Bowl at the
Black Mt. Bowling Alley

Memories
November has brought wonder
ful musical entertainment to Mon
treat this year. On November 2
we were delightfully entertained
by Miss Marian Perley, harpist,
and Miss Lee Haney, lyric so
prano. Miss Perley is the harp
soloist of the North Carolina
Symphony during its concert
tours; and when not studying in
New York, is a resident of Black
Mountain, N. C. Miss Haney, of
Asheville, N. C., is the voice teach
er in the Montreat High School
music department. Miss Haney was
accompanied by Mrs. Clark John
son, also of the High School music
department. They presented a
programme of classical music to
an appreciative audience.
On November 11, the musical
feature was the Marianne Kneisgl
String Quartet composed of
Marianne Kneisel, 1st violin, Nor
ma Lewis, 2nd violin, Maxine John
son, viola, and Sebe Sarser, cello.
Miss Kneisel is a member of an
old family of musicians. Her fath
er came to America and organ
ized one of the early string quart
ets of this country. Prom him Miss
Kneisel received the training
which has made her and her quart
et famous in the musical world.
At the beginning of the concert,
Mrs. Crosby Adams presented
Miss Kneisel with a picture of the
original Kneisel quartet. This pic
ture had been in her possession
for over fifty years and is very
valuable.
Montreat has been very fortun
ate in having these two fine con
certs and we are very grateful to
those who made them possible.

one of its best press agents — an
old girl. She went last year to
the school of Our Lady of the
Sacred Heart in New Brunswick,
Canada. Note to Florida girls: she
knows what REAL cold weather is
and likes it.
The thing she likes to do best
is play the piano, and she hopes
..omeday she will be a _ concert
pianist.
Welcome to Montreat, Gina.
We’re glad to have you here!

Po You Want—
—the 1949 SUN DIAL to be the
best ever ?
—an annual that you will be
proud to show to your family and
friends ?
—a book that you will treas
ure for years to come?
Then Po This—
1. Think of someone in your
home-town who owns or is con
nected with some business estab
lishment which might be inter
ested in advertising in our an
nual. (Perhaps it will be a mem
ber of your family or a friend.)
2. Write a letter to that person,
telling him that we would like an
ad from him in the 1949 SUN
DIAL. Point out to him how that
bit of advertising will be spread
to many places — wherever the
annuals go; and that, most im
portant of all, when you take your
annual home, people there will
read it.
3. Inclose in your letter the
blank form which they are to fill
in and return with a check for the
ad. (These forms will be distrib
uted soon.) When this comes back
to you, turn it in to Marjorie Ro
bertson or any S.P.S. member.
This is your way of insuring a
bigger and better annual for Mon
treat. Will you do your part now?
