MONTREAT COLLEGE, MONTREAT, NORTH CAROLINA
SEPTEMBER, 19.’>0
Members Tapped
For 1950 Staff
At an informal ceremony on
Saturday night during the inter
mission of the square dance, the
Staff of Student Publication tap
ped twelve new members.
The two feature editors, Marg
aret Boseman, senior, and Elinor
Ammons, freshman, hail from
Clinton and Seneca, South Caro
lina, respectively. Margaret was
feature editor of the staff last
year, and Elinor held positions
as reporter, news editor, and fea
ture editor on her high school
paper.
The position of news editor
is in the capable hands of Colleen
Story, sophomore, from Lexing
ton, North Carolina. Working
with her are two reporters —
Elizabeth Clodfelter, freshman,
also from Lexington, and Joan
Douglas, freshman, from Tampa,
Florida. Elizabeth held positions
as news and literary editor on
her school paper.
The humor editor is Delia Alice
Blackwell, freshman, of Ruffin,
North Carolina. She is former ed
itor-in-chief of her school paper,
and her talent for wit will certain
ly make that phase of the DIAL-
ETTB enjoyable.
Terry Kane, freshman, from
Mobile, Alabama, was chosen
Sports Editor. Terry also has had
previous experience as the
editor-in-chief of the Montreat
School Publications last year.
Our very capable Art and Pub
licity Manager is Pat Williamson
from Atlanta, Georgia. Pat’s tal
ented displays are often admired
by the students, and she contrib
uted much to the staff last year.
The efficient typists, all sopho
mores, are business students, and
therefore meet all the necessary
qualifications. They are Elizabeth
Whitlock of Floyd, Virginia;
Mary Faye Britt of Chadbourn,

On Your Honor
Dr. Grier Davis, one of our
frequent spieakers in chapel ser
vices, gave us an excellent talk
last Wednesday on our own honor
system in Montreat. According to
Dr. Davis, cheating is very pre
valent in high schools today, and
so when students go to college
they consistently return to their
old habits unless they are proper
ly guided by the students and
teachers who realize the damage
being done to the students who
cheat. This damage is harmful
both spiritually and mentally.
Throughout his talk Dr. Davis
gave illustrations, both personal
and general. He spoke
of a boy he knew who was out
standing in his college work and
who was very popular because of
his athletic abilities. This boy
was caught cheating on his ex
amination. As the rules of the
college insisted that each person
guilty of such misdemeanor be
tried before his own school mates,
the boy was placed on the stand.
