Rumor has it that the • new
building will probably be present
able enough to have its picture
taken by Thanksgiving - the most
certainly by Christmas!
Something to look forward to:
Mrs. Crosby Adam’s annual con
cert for Montreat students. No
vember 12, will be the big day.
Dr. Reeves looks as pert and
peppy as ever after her illness
and short stay in the hospital.
Too bad she missed that Mt.
Mitchell hike. Each year before
(when everyone walked halfway
arid rode halfway), she was al
ways the first one on top!
Wonder what Mr. Miller’s ed
ucation classes used for excuses
for not having their homework
prepared this past Thursday
morn? Last week it was easy
enough to say they’d been up all
night during The Big Search.
Assisting as hostess with Mrs.
McGregor at the table Wednesday
night was Miss DuBose, our
former Dean of Women, who has
just stopped by after a summer’s
stay in the hills of Colorado.
Ccrta'nly grand to see her!
Flash bulbs and excused classes
mean only one thing: group pic
tures! All this posing will be over
before long, and then REAL plans
can be made on the annual.
CAMPUS REFLECTIONS . • •
Have you ever seen the leaves any lovelier? Of course you
men haven’t — Fall only happens like this in Montreat! It
you feel like writing poetry, playing soccer - or anything but S u
ing. It’s almost like Spring! We’re not the only ones who know a
Montreat in the fall. There are some guests in the Inn who came
the way from Louisiana “to see the leaves.” -
You know - fall is a lovely time for weddings, and two o
graduates have realized that very fact. In two weeks. Goodie an
will both be married -and won’t they make lovely brides! bool.
We’ve squeezed a lot of good times into this month
I’m still remembering two Saturday night ago when we had Tri ® _

kees haven’t been properly congratulated on their attractive an ,

I’m going home!?”Uh-huh and that’s not long - especially “ j,.
“Tentative grades” coming between now and then and with from

Have you noticed (with eyes or ears) the building going ^
the dean’s office? From now on it will be TWO rooms an Qnnds

complicated (and makes a nice alliteration), but it’s going to e
attractive!
Some of the girls took the trip to Grove Park Inn las
Aren’t the little quotations on the pillars odd? The whole ^grit
ferent and very lovely. And the view is comparable to our own
View. I’ve never seen the Biltmore Industries, but Fran told m
they take a piece of dirty, raw wool and transforni it (by ig^-bes
steps) into beautiful material which is fashioned into women ®
and other woolen articles. You can actually watch the transior
It’s worth a trip - maybe some of us can go on our own.
We have some gir’s here in school who are to be congratu a

They don’t let their work stop on the Sabbath, either, but they

Mrs. R. E. Mooney, Sr., had to
undergo a quite serious operation
last week; but we’re happy to
hear that she is improving nicely
and is now back at home here.
Have you noticed how much bet

every day? , (Well, maybe you’ve
never come in just a few minutes
late and seen the full effect!)
Not only looks, but also the sing

OUR ADVERTISERS
Our chapel talks by the Rev.
E. H. Hamilton, for twenty - six
years a missionary to China, were
■both inspiring and challenging.
The girls who gave blood to the
Red Cross Blood Bank are certain
ly to be commended. Another unit
will be out again this year to ask
for more volunteers. Not much
trouble, no pain, and a life can
be saved by you.
Congratulations to the girls wlio
