The student bodies of Montreat College
and Montreat High School are fortunate
in having the opportunity to hear so many
outstanding artists during the school year.
One of the most outstanding and most
talked about concerts that has been given
during the past few years was the piano
recital presented at Gaither Hall on Sat
urday, February 14, by Miss Sallie F.
Warth.
This was Miss Warth’s first concert per
formance in Montreat, and her exceptional
mastery of the keyboard kept the audience
entranced. A storm of applause recalled
her again and again to the stage even
..after her encore.

The Student Body of Montreal College
has big news .as a result of its popular
elections completed last week. It now has
four new major officers to head, the 1953-
54 student government.

June has been a leader in every phase of
campus life during her three years at Mon
treal. She has served the S.C.A. for two years

served in the Cabinet of S.G.A. as presi

Ellinore Krieger is the new editor of
our yearbook, the SUN DIAL. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Krieger

known as “EK”, should be termed (in her
own language) a very “rare soul.” She is
versatile and witty, having superior gifts
of originality. She loves the very word
SUN DIAL and knows it as well as she
loves it. She has served at the elbow of
the editor for two years as Literary Edi
