Montreat College is indeed lucky to have
a Vice President and Bible Professor such
as Mr. George Anderson. He is a well
qualified person with an A.B. degree from
Hampden-Sydney College and a B.D. and
Th.M. from Columbia University.
As one walks into Mr. Anderson’s class
one might think that the attentiveness is
demanded as he spent three years in the
U. S. Army; but it is just the way he pre
sents it to the class—which is so good that
we hate to have the bell ring. Can you
imagine such a thing!!
After serving his duty for Uncle Sam,
he then went to Presbyterian College where
he was the Professor of Bible from 1947-
1954 and Dean of Students from 1954-1956.
From there he came to Montreat College
where he and his wife and seven children
reside.
Dr. Ralph Brimley is a native of North
Carolina and received his Bachelor of Arts
degree from North Carolina State College,
his Master’s from the University of North
Carolina, and his Doctorate from George
Washington University. He taught in the
school system of Winston-Salem, N. C., be
ginning as a teacher, then a coach, as
sistant principal, and then principal. From
there he went to the Woman’s College of
the University of North Carolina. During
his busy career Uncle Sam called Dr. Brim-
ley to serve his country. After fulfilling
his duty he has worked for the past 10
years in the Forsyth County Public School
System.
Dr. and Mrs. Brimley have two daughters
and are the proud boasters of four grand
children. Dr. Brimley said, “This is my
29th year of working with young people
and I have never found a finer group of
girls to work with than the girls here at
Montreat.”
Dr. Karl Snyder comes to us by the way
of Los Angeles, California—where Occident
al College is located and from this place
he received his Bachelor of Arts degree.
He then changed his location to the Uni
versity of California where he received his
two highest degrees in Entomoloy—insects
to us unfortunate ones!
As for his working experience—and he
did work—he spent five years in an Agri
cultural Experiment Station in Albany,
California. He also raised butterflies, and
to quote Dr. Snyder himself, “I was a but
terfly tickler and I someday hope to talk
to the student body on this subject ”
(What are we waiting for—let’s hear!!!)
He also taught Biology in various locations
throughout the State of Texas.
Along with all his duties at the college
he has time for a hobby. This is making
electronic display boards and he hopes to
have one here someday.
One might wonder how it is that Dr.
Snyder comes to us since he is all the way
from California. This is because he is in
terested in church-related schools and also,
his wife is a native of North Carolina. We
are all mighty glad that it was Montreat he
chose!
The Snyders, along with their three
children, reside on Tennessee Road m
Montreat.
Mr. Clair Hardenstine, whom everyone is
acquainted with as the conference organis
at Montreat for the last two summers, hails
originally from Tannersville, Pennsylvania.
He received his Bachelor of Arts from West
minster Choir College, Princeton, New
Jersey and from there he went to Hunts
ville ,Alabama where he was the Minister
of Music at the First Methodist Church for
three years. From here he went to the
Trinity Presbyterian Church, Montgomery,
Alabama, also as Minister of Music for
three years.
It was here in Montgomery that Mi'
Hardenstine became interested in dramatfe
He has played major roles in THE HASTY
HEART, LO AND BEHOLD, TIME OUT FOR
GINGER, and PENNY WISE. Besides
his professional acting ability he has also
directed quite a few plays as PORTRAI
IN BLACK, THE SHINING HOUR,
NIGHT MUST FALL. Thalians—here’s the
answer to your prayers.
Although Mr. Hardenstine is a Yankee
by birth, he is a Southerner by choice; an
we are very glad, for it is an happy 6^'
perience for Montreat to have Mr. Harden
stine as an instructor in Voice, Piano, Con
ducting, and Chorus.
A man walked into a movie theater and
found a place behind a couple who ha
brought their dog with them. The man be
came so interested in watching the dog
that he scarcely noticed the picture. When
the movie was amusing, the dog looke
happy and pleased; when the plot became
tense, the dog straightened up and acte
concerned; when the actors were sad, the
dog was absolutely distressed.
After the movie, the man remarked o
the dog’s owner, “I just couldn’t keep my
eyes on the screen for watching your dog-
He acted as though he understood every
thing.”
The owner replied, “Yes, my dog really
has enjoyed this movie. I was surprise ,
because he didn’t like the book at all.
