Hey there «..»you-with the stars
in your eyes. • • .yes you, standing or
sitting there emcoinpassed by baggage,
papaphennalia, and perhaps people....
And you too...yes you; none other
than you with the moistened cheeks and
brave quivering whisper of a smle...
Wait a minute..you too..yes, one oi
the summer crowd with your not too
sturdy air of self confidence..axl ol
you from the awe-stricken to the sell-
assured.
As you’ve undoubtedly conjectured
the ’’you’s" addressed in the pre’/ious
SigmSts are to you, the_ freshi^n
i e the ’’greenies, the high school
ifeniah’s, the "new blood",
are so vital to our way of au
Montreat College.
You’ve taken a big step upward
by just entering college.
that you are interested in bettering
yourself. It shovfs that you are
interested in expanding mentally,
s;ocailly and spiritually. hi e
doubtless many of you are probably
saturated with aspirations, ideas,
and dreams that only youth is cap
able of having and enjoyi.ng. lou
want to do something really big per
haps for your ovin satisfaction, or a
loved one, or best of all for your
ovm God.
Well, Freshomn are you willing
to try hitching your wagon to a star.
It’s a long trail upwards and some
times you may become air sick ana
your wagon may be a bit c^anoersome
but keep your eyes on your_^ star and
your hands busy and you’ll attain
these aspirations.
Hitch your wagon first to the
biggest, brightest, and highest star,
a star whose effervesonce cannot be
equaled by anything that is made or
can be made. It is the bright and
Morning Star that Star that created
TOu—^that Star that is going to help
vou decide what to do with your liie
here at college and in the future.
If you aren’t sure about what
you are intended to do with your
life, fret not. You have ample time
to decide. It has been said that if
you spend all of your time worrying
and preparing for tomorrow, you,til
have no today. It will cone to you
later, and remember there’s no time
limit on that later.
Youire here for an education
don’t forget. You’re aiming for a
star so you’ll have to educate mind,
heart and hands.
Your faculty advisor will be
ready to help you along academic
lines. Your queries and doubts
about what coursed in which to enroll
„ '.vill be sufficiently ansTrered to your
best advantage.
As for dormitory life, you your
self will determine whether it will
be on a high plane or not. You can
make your room a star peephole into
heaven by the way you smile, the way
you speak to your roommate, by the
viray you study and participate in the
spirit of Montreat College.
Don’t think of big sisters as
sponsored Mary Worths because they
want to help you. Take advantage of
tlieir services by talking over reg
ulations or ideas that aren’t quite
clear. You can even take advantage
of their soft shoulders. Blouses
v/ill wash and pangs of homesickness
will pass Remember also through
all these "new fangled" strange ways,
if you’re busy giving out, you won’t
’DC giving in.
Share your talents vTith others
and watch them grow. Join some of
the varied clubs, offer then your
services, see what they have to offer
you that will help in your star-
bound pilgrimage. Who knows. Mon
treat cotald be harbor:-ng within her
portals another Ethel Barrymore or
Lily Pons. Oh yes, when you join
these clubs be sure you take your
"roomie" along. She nay be the
bashful type.
