MONTREAT OF THE FUTURE . . .
Looking into the mirror of our thoughts, we see reflections re
vealed there — reflections that are very dim and hazy to us in regard
to the future of our great institution. We say, “The new Alba is go
ing to the prettiest and best building on the campus,” but do we
ever stop to think of those aspects which will make it so? Again we
say, “Montreat will become one of the largest and best schools,” but
do we know those factors which will prove it to be?
It takes the eyes and mind of many people with strong, never-
failing faith in God to see those things which will cause Montreat to
be a more radiating force in the era of tomorrow.
Let us note some of our dreams for Montreat’s future. First to
be noted is the completion in the very near future of the new building
which is being erected in the place of the old Alba. The spaciousness
of the new structure will be prodigious with its rooming capacity for
three hundred fifty students and its dining room that will seat one
thousand. These facts, along with its beauty, will propagate its fame.
With the coming of larger buildings, there naturally follows an
increase of the college student body. These new buildings will affect
not only the college, but also the summer programs. There will be a
larger attendance at the Christian conferences, and, with the increased
number, will be a need for stronger programs to be presented effective
ly and helpfully to those seeking guidance in their life’s work.
Montreat is to take its place in fulfilling the great demand which
is being urged for f'ne Christian colleges. We all hope that it will be
come a school distinguished from all others because of its high stand
ards and purpose in developing the individual.
The pressing need for more religious and Christian leaders in our
world is becoming more and more evident to us each day. Young
people of today must be afforded the chance to advance in their faith
if they are to become the leaders of tomorrow. Therefore, we must
believe, that as more students enroll in Montreat for preparatory
study, there must be a larger number to enter into Christian service.
Not only is the number important,but there should be also a choice
selection of girls - girls with greater abilities and ones who know the
responsibility behind Christian service and leadership, and who are will
ing to place their whole heart, mind and soul into their choice of ser
vice. One of Montreat’s chief aims will be to produce that larger num
ber and that choice selection of girls for Christian service.
Yes, we, mere beginners on the road of life, face the future with
inability to conceive what takes place beyond. In the years to come we
shall see and understand all things of which we have long been dream
ing and for which we have been earnestly seeking and striving.

— Campus Reflections —
Another month gone by, anoth
er issue of the DIALETTE, and
Thanksigving is just around the
corner. Only one week and six
days away to be exact! !
It must be the crisp air (and
occasional snow flurries) that’s
affecting the soccer games so fav
orably! There just seems to be
SOMETHING about the games re
cently that has everybody full of
pep and that thing we call “Mon
treat Spirit.” We still have more
rough edges than otherwise, but
there has been some smooth team
work on the soccer field lately.
And the way the cheerleaders bub
ble over with enthusiasm on the
sidelines is worth walking to the
field to see. Keep it up girls - it’s
catching.
The freshmen seem to be the
busiest girls on the campus right
now. Those endless committee
meeting notices posted in conspic
uous places give the rest of us
that idea! We most heartily ap
prove, Sarah Ann and associates,
and, even more heartily, sympath
ize! We still remember when —
The program down at Anderson
last Saturday night gave the col
lege girls who went a big thrill.
The high school had it’s annual
“Festival of States” program, and
they put on a show that was full
of originality. The judges deliber
ated for quite a while and gave
first honors to a group of North
Carolina girls. The decision must
have been a hard one, though, be
cause those girls have talent - the
whole crowd of them!
Miss Yarnell says that the Mon-
treat Booth at the convention last
weekend in Atlanta was most at
tractive. It was decorated with
enlarged photographs of Mon
treat - both College and Associa
tion. We were well represented,
too. Besides Miss Yarnell, Dr. Mc
Gregor and Dean Hollis went -
along with Dr. Spence and Miss
Hill, who represented the Histor
ical Foundation. All reports are
that the convention was a great
success. Well - we’re proud of our
part!
Have you ever thought what
you’d plan for meals if you were
a dietician? Never entered your
head - huh? Yep - it’s a difficult
job - and it goes on forever
