Something new has been added!
of course, we’re referring to
none other than the genial little
ady at the cafeteria—Mrs. Clara
^•^Deaderick of Newport Richard,
She’.s been here just a few days,
hut already she has made a place
for herself. “ni probably stay un-
September when Mr. Tiller re
urns, she said. “For several
years I’ve been working the win
ter tourist season at a hotel in St.
Petersburg.”
Mrs. Deaderick has been em-
P oyed as a dietician for thirty-six
years in all, and she thinks it’s
wonderful occupation. “You get
o meet so many people and go
places.” She has traveled
all but two of the states.
Her job gives her an opportuni-
y to indulge in one of her favor-

HLACK MOUNTAIN
By Mrs. White
Every year I have been called
upon to answer many questions—
usually just at the time for march
ing — about the caps, gowns, and
hoods worn by members of the
Faculty in the academic process
ion at Commencement. This year
I am setting forth a few facts
about these interesting garments
so that the students may be in
formed about the meaning of aca
demic costume.
The gown itself shows the level
of the degree. That of the lowest,
or Bachelor’s degree is made like
the choir robes or like the seniors’
gowns and has long, pointed
sleeves. This gown’s worn closed.
The Master’s gown, which is worn
open, has elbow-length sleeves
which have long hanging folds
'The Doctoi'’s gown, also worn
open, has a velvet facing and
broad velvet bands on voluminous
sleeves. On less expensive gowns
the velvet is black, but it may be
of the same color as the velvet
of the hood.
The hoods reveal three facts:
the level of the degree, the de
partment in which it was earned,
and the college or university that
conferred the degree. The level
of the degree is indicated by the
size of the hood; the Bachelor
has the smallest, the Master the
medium-sized, and the Doctor the
largest. The velvet on the hood
shows by its color the department
in which the degree was earned.
White is for Arts, yellow for
Science, royal blue for Philosophy,
pale blue for Education, pink for
Music, and red for Theology.
(These are most of the colors that
will be seen in our procession.)
The colors in the lining of the
hood are the colors of the college
or university that conferred the
degree.
The caps reveal comparatively
little except in large universities,
where the tassels on the cap are
of the same color as the velvet
on the hoods. Doctors may wear
gold tassels on their caps. The
tassel is supposed to be worn on
the left front, regardless of de
gree. The cap is supposed to be
worn straight, not perched coquct-
tishly on the back of the head or
tilted rakishly over one eye.
Beautiful Memories
By Evan Wrenn
I have seen many beautiful
things in my lifetime; but three
that I have remembered very
clearly, I saw here in Montreat.
Once, if I’d been quick, I was
near enough to the foot of a rain
bow to get the proverbial “pot-
of-gold.” It was one morning,
quite early. A beautiful bow
stretched itself over the sky and
while resting one foot on the peak
of Greybeard, it dipped the other
into Lake Susan. Everyone knows
how a rainbow looks; but, like the
poet, “my heart leaps up when
I behold, a rainbow in the sky,”
and this time it especially thrilled
me.
The second of my three beau
tiful memories is of a comet. I
have seen numerous shooting
stars, but never anything like
this. One night, a few months ago,
I had turned out the light and
leaned out my window to admire
the magnificent view. It was an
especially starry night, and the
moon was not high right then.
Suddenly, a star shot from the
group and, leaving a flaming arch
behind it, sped out of sight in
the northwest. The whole phenom
ena lasted only a few seconds, but
it gave me an awed and uplifted
feeling.
The third of my most beautiful
memories is of a sunset. lOne day
last spring, I was returning from
Black Mountain, when I noticed
that the world had taken on a
peculiar tint, as if one looked at
sunshine through a green glass.
The west was a moving picture of
beauty—great lumps of golden
clouds were piled up in the sky,
and the sun, reflected from there,
had tinted Montreat. I stood
breathless for a few moments. The
gold was going now, but pink,
blue, purple, green—almost every
color—moved up from the sun
and fanned out in the west. I
can’t really describe the beauty
and wonder of it, but if an artist
could have caught each color as
t flamed and faded, he would
have captured a little of pure
glory.

’48 - ’49 Extras That
Meant So Much

Looking back over the years
from September, 1948, to May,
1949, an old reporter’s eyes cross
and bulge at the variety of pro
grams that Montreat has witness
ed. For a little place stuck back
in the hills, it does very well.
Musically, there were the Civic
Music Concerts every month or
so. For those who didn’t traipse
to Asheville there was Mrs. Ad
ams’ concert, the recital by Miss
Haney and Miss Perley, the Fac
ulty Concert, and the Music Club
recital.
Athletically speaking, the Tribe
Campfire was a notable event.
The Thanksgiving game topped the
soccer season, and the Faculty-
Board game, and the Fellowship-
College Hall game headlightod
basketball.
Socially, Montreat enjoyed the
opening reception, the Mitchell
trip (was that social or athletic?),
the George Washington party, the
Freshman varieties, and May Day
(same question!).
Intellectually, the Causey lec
ture and Mrs. Milner stimulated
the populace, while Religious Em
phasis week and the Bible School
Institute stimulated religiously.
Last comes the drama, with a
broad A. The Asheville Communi
ty Theater was for a few, while
the three dramatics club plays —
"Christmas for Cinderella,” “Three
Taps on the Wall,” and “Sweet
Sally Brown” — were for all. And
so were the several plays given by
the High School — especially the
Senior play.
Thus endeth a busy year.
