SOMEONE KNOWS
YOUR WISHES
Once upon a time there was a little
Christmas angle who felt sorry for all the
poor “mortals” at Montreat who had un
heeded Christmas wishes. She decided to
do something about it so she got her note
book and went around asking everybody,
“What is your Christmas wish?” She got
many shocks and surprises as well as
chuckles and merry moments from the
varied answers.
This little Christmas Angel then went
back and called a special meeting of all
the other Christmas Angels and discussed
these problems of the Montreat Mortals.
She had the following answers to present
to her Wish-Granting Committee as the
mortals replies to her question, “What is
your Christmas Wish?”
Eliz Whitlock: “To marry Wade.”
Norma Cumming: “For my two front
teeth. No—for a man.”
Georgina Sanches; “Nothing, I don’t
have a Christmas wish.”
M. A. Smoak: “That you have a Merry
Christmas, then that the Glory of the
Lord be revealed to more peoples of the
earth.”
Helen Kilgore: “That I would meet a
man that I could become attached to—I
mean really!” (She had a far away look
in her eye too—we’ll have to keep check
on her, girls.)
Pat Conger; “That Roy would ask me
to marry him—and I’d say ‘yes”: (And
did her eyes twinkle!)
Ann Abdullah: “That there would be
peace on earth and good will toward men.”
Joan Douglas: “To go home and have a
white Christmas in Florida.” (Shame on
you, Joan.)
Faye Britt: “That this war will soon
be over.”
Nancy Armistead: “I just haven’t made
one yet.” (That’s because you live at home,
Nancy. We’re jealous)
Ellinore Krieger: “To sleep late every
morning.”
Colleen Story: “That Bill has a Merry
Christmas wherever he may be.”
Ann Broom: “Right now, I wish my little
brother would get well so he would en
joy Christmas, too.”
Melva Blanton: “I wish all ‘the boys’
would come home for the holidays.”
Frances Bridges: “That it wouldn’t snow
so I can go home.”
Jean Southerland: “That everybody has
a merry Christmas.”
Frances Sosebee: “That I can have all
I want to eat.”
Betty Lown: (With a hopeful look) “That
I can always make A’s in piano.”
DECEMBER, 1950
Joan Guthrie; “I have the best one of
all — I don’t want to come back—single.”
Dot Wright: “To go home and see Ken.”
Margaret Boseman: “To get my man’s
troubles straightened out.” (Good luck,
Margaret)
Charlotte Burgess: “Ain’t got no ’dad-
gummed’ Christmas wish!” (Isn’t that just
like Charlotte.)
Pat Woody: “Just to go home — nothing
else.”
Ruby Morton: “My only wish this Christ
mas is to see Rich!”
Sue Morrison: “That Bob won’t get lost
coming down to see me.” (Send him a
map^ Sue)
Mary Bess Plyler: “That we might have
peace on earth.”
Heidi Funke; “That I can be kind to
everybody.” Then, after a moment’s pause,
“That you’d go to bed.”
Betty Dell Stone: “My wish beat you
getting here, he’s coming Sunday. No, I
do have one — That Miss Holmes would
change her mind and hang out a sign, “No
chaperones needed.”
Amelia Garcia; “He is too far so I wish
for a music box that plays ‘Stardust.”
M. R. Marshall: “That my man would
come home from Korea, and that the tele
phone between Betty’s room and mine
would be disconnected.”
Ernestine Wiggins: “I want ‘Rudolph”
—(somebody’s going to be disappointed.)
Lucy Buston: “I just want to go home!”
Virginia Blackburn: “That I can get
married by the time I’m 22.” (Why not
21?)
Lib Clodfelter: “To get a letter from Mat,
and not to have a conference with Dean
Hollis, Miss Holmes, or Dr. McGregorJ’
PAGEANT BRINGS BACK
Cont’d from Page 1
ceding Christ’s birth.
The angel Gabriel announced to Mary
that she was the chosen woman to be the
mother of God’s promised Messiah. How
happy she was! She honored God by sing
ing her gratitude in one of the most beau
tiful songs ever presented. On and on
the pageant continued. With the feeling
of gladness swelling in our hearts, we
felt we were witnessing the actual events
portrayed. Nothing could have been more
lovely.
We owe much of the beauty to the fine
supervision of Miss Anderson, and to Mary
.Ann Shoak for her interpretation of Mary,
the mother of Jesus. The choir gave a
wonderful background for the pageant, and
made it more moving than it might have
without the songs of praise the choir rend
ered. It was one of the most beautiful pag
eants ever witnessed, and it will remain
in the thoughts and hearts of everyone for
many months to come.
Montreal Student
Attends Convention
At the meeting of the Constituting As
sembly of the National Council of Churches
of Christ in America, the Presbyterian
Church U. S., was represented by four
young people, who acted as ushers and
messengers. Miss Agnes Godert, who re
cently was elected president of the West
minster Fellowship Council of the Synod
of Appalachia, was one of the four young
people chosen.
The Assembly began its meeting in Cleve
land, Ohio, on Tuesday evening, November
28, with 29 denominations represented
and closed on Friday evening, December 1.
At the meeting Bishop Henry Knox Sher
rill of New York, N. Y., was elected pres
ident of the Council; and Dr. Harold E.
Stassen, president of the University of
Pennsylvania, was elected vice-president.
Agnes was accorded the privilege of
seeing and hearing these and other notable
church leaders. With the exception of one
afternoon, she attended meetings which
were held especially for the Youth Dele
gates.
The privilege of attending this assembly
is a great honor and Agnes certainly did
deserve this honor. May the blessings which
she has gained go with her always.
FRESHMEN SHOW
GREAT TALENT
On Saturday evening, December 2, at
eight o’clock in Anderson Chapel, the fresh
man class presented the annual
talent show. This year the entertainment
given was entitled “One Mad Afternoon”
and was written by Lib Clodfelter, a mem
ber of the Freshman Class.
Using the year 1965 as a setting, the
skit presented, through the use of a crystal
ball of a gypsy, a revelation of the activ
ities of former Montreat students. Between
seven hilarious scenes, a group of four
reunited former Montreat students dis
cussed with the gypsy these activities of
the former students.
(It hasn’t been decided yet among the
students who had more fun—the freshmen
who put it on or the students who watched
it: but at least all enjoyed it.
