Advertising Manager Jo Ella Dunaway SPONSOR—Miss Elizabeth Maxwell The Higher Way What do I like about Montreat? How do I feel about its' inhabitants, regula tions, daily routines? I imagine if I were to answer these questions as you are expecting me to, I would be taking the words right out of your mouths, for I feel that we are thankful for more or less the same things here. But my love for Montreat is not just the everyday things ... it is everything combined! Therefore, I want you to know that my feelings for our college are not merely that I like “the climate, the friend ship, and the food,” but that it goes much deeper than that. My affection for Montreat falls under two main heads. The first has to do with my heart and the Bible. Christ made such an impression on me and gave me such wonderful gifts when first I met Him, that I humbly offered to Him my heart— and He accepted it! As you must realize, God is a very neat being, and so when Christ took the heart I gave to Him and in turn, gave it to God, God folded it in a neat little packet and placed it between two pages in this Book. He didn’t just throw it into any part of the Bible as though it were a useless addition to His vast collection, but He laid it gently next to the verse in Proverbs that says, “Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.” And so God sent me to Montreat to learn His Holy Word. The other heading that my love falls under is this, and with it I use another Superlatives Chosen The purpose of our College program is to help each student to become a well- rounded Christian personality. What do we mean by this term? W© feel that there can be no better definition than this: “. . . Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.” Each year the student body elects by popular vote, four girls from the Senior class who best represent each of these points. These girls are our Superlatives, and their titles are Joy in Learning, Sportsmanship, True Spiritual Vision, and Graciousness. Louise Cayton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Rowe, Aurora, N. C.. has been chosen as “Joy in Learning.” Louise will receive her Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in history and plans to teach next year. Our Athletic Board president, Jeannette Nash, was chosen to represent “Sports manship.” She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Nash of Augusta, Ga. True Spiritual Vision” is re(presented by Rebecca Glenn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Glenn of Gastonia, N. C. Rebecca leads the Student Christian As sociation this year. Patricia Williamson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Williamson of Atlanta, Ga., and Senior Class president, will represent “Graciousness.” The Staff wishes to congratulate the student body on these wise choices. A Day of Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Day in Montreat was one filled with fun. Classes were abandoned, and alumnae, friends, and families were welcomed. The day began as every Thanks giving day should, with a worship ser vice, praising God for His goodness and mercy throughout the past year. During the service, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Williams, one of Mrs. Crosby Adams compositions, “Praise The Lord, 0 .Terns alem,” was sung by the choir. The ing from this service was sent to t e Mountain Orphanage. A soccer game between the High SchM “M” Club and Varsity was enjoyed by all before lunch. Immediately following lunch everyone gathered once again a the soccer field to watch a combat c tween the College “M” Club, support© by visiting alumnae, and the College Va’''>i''v. With spirits high, the girls returned to their rooms to dress in formals for t e annual Thanksgiving Banquet. There’s no end to what our Senior Class can do example. John Oxenham said in his famous poem, “The High Way” — To every man there openeth A way, and ways, and a way. And the high soul climbs the high way. And the low soul gropes the low. And in between on the misty flats The rest drift to an! fro. But to every man there openeth A high way and a low And every man decideth The way his soul shall go. I am proud to be one of the privileged to climb, with you as my fellow-travelers, into God’s special carriage and ride up the highway of life. Sometimes when the carriage breaks dowm, we’re going to have to get out and push—together. Other times the carriage may sink in the mud, and those of us who are able will have to dig it out and start It rolling again _ but united we will make it. And when we get to the top, we’ll all turn around and look back down that long highway. We’ll sigh and one of us will say, “Well girls, we finally made the grade, thanks to Montreat Col- S. G. when it comes to giving banquets, au once again they sponsored a huge success. The dining hall of Assembly Inn a been decorated and was very attractive. A large golden “Horn of Plenty,” from which fruit of all descriptions was flovv- inv. ado’Tied the speakers’ table, and frui and candles were distributed along t e other tables. Many sophomores and fres men had volunteered to serve. After the blessing was given and Pa - Williamson, president of the Senior Class, Evelvn Hennessee. president of the Stu dent Body, and Dr. McGregor had we corned the guests, a dinner of shrimp cocktail, roast turkey, chestnut dressing, giblet gravy, broccoli, sweet potato souffle, cranberry sauce, relish tray, and min'^e meat pie, hot rolls and butter, and cofme was served. Special music by .Jolene Parks, Elinor Ammons. Mary Ann Smoak, D. Warren, A.nn Fenton, and Colleen Story v’as added to the em’oyment of the even ing. The main speaker for the evening was the Rev. Julian W. Spitzer of Knox ville, who delivered a most inspiring a dress. The conclusion of the varied program for Thanksgiving activities came on Sa urday night. Pat Williamson and Jane Holt showed colored slides in Howerton of many different seasons and events o Montreat. Afterwards, the traveling choir, under the direction of Mr. Thatcher, wit Mr. Sinclair accompanying, presented n vfery lovely program of secular music. This was the first of many appearances of the choir in singing secular songs, and it proved a great success. Dialette
