MUSICIANS TURN INVENTORS |
Who said musicians aren’t mechanically
inclined? Well, if the majority aren’t, then
Montreat has something on the majority,
for not only does there seem to be mechan
ical inclination in our Music Department,
but mechanical genius.
The combined talent and thought of
Mr. Frantz and Mr. Green resulted in a
very interesting and much needed piece
of machinery, a record player.
Mr. Green described it as a high-fidelity
unit for which all parts were bought separ
ately so that each could be selected as
the best in its field. He explained one of
its outstanding features as being the Ger-
rard record “changer, which is of English
make. After the various parts were as
sembled, the Montreat carpenter shop con
tributed the base reflex cabinet for it.
The assemblers of this unique machine
reveal that this is the only means of get
ting a very good and expensive machine,
(for which there was such definite need)
for such a tremendously low price, but at
the same time they very modestly refused
to take due credit for such an accomplish
ment.

Farewell, Dear S. P. S.
This article is to sorrowfully pay tribute
to a dear friend who has passed on from
our midst. Yes, in a green and white
shroud our friend was ushered out to
the tune of a dying song. Our only con
solation now is the fact that we have two
new friends which are very much like
the old one.
The S.P.S. (Staff of Student Publications)
is no more; it is dead. But I think no
epitaph could be more fitting that “Gone
but not forgotten.”
For years both the college newspaper
THE DIALETTE, and the year book, THE
SUN DIAL, have been supervised by one
editor-in-chief elected by the student
body. And each year as the editor became
overwhelmed with a million and one
things, she kept in the back of her mind
the unavoidable amount of inefficiency,
rushing, and “fudging”, with the hope
that someday an editor might find a way
to have time to DO the job.
These ideas seem to have mounted up
with time, for this year the old constitu
tion of the S.P.S. was dissolved by unani
mous vote of its members, and in its
place arose two new and separate ones.
The DIALETTE staff is now a"
elusive organization, having about twelve
members, and at the moment is boasting
a new editor.
Leta Miller was elected by P°P
ular vote of the student body to
vise the publication of the 1953-54 DIA
ETTE. She will, under the newly ap
proved constitution, have a thirty pni**
office, and will be on the cabinet o
S.G.A.
Leta, a rising junior, is the daughter of
Mrs. B. F. Miller, of New Orleans, Louis
iana. She has been a leader throughou
her college career, having been sophomore
class president, prayer group leader, an
chairman of the Birthday Committee. She
has served on the Dialette Staff as Art
and Publicity manager, having painting as
her hobby.
The SUN DIAL under its own constitu
tion will reduce its executive staff to
three members. Because of the reduction
in duties, the SUN DIAL editor will be
able to cooperate more efficiently with
her own staff and with the high school
editor in preparation of copy. The 1953
54 editor who has just been elected is
Ellinore Krieger.
The most important single ingredient m
the formula of success is knowing how to
get along with people. -Theodore Roosevelt
