MONTREAT COLLEGE, MONTREAT, NORTH CAROLINA
SEPTEMBER, 1959
North Carolina leads Student Body
“Where did you say your hometown was?
. . . .Oh, you! Another Floridian!”
We hear this familiar phrase richocheting
from the halls of Montreat for the first
few weeks of school. To help you keep
your friends geographically straight, try
wading through these statistics and see
whose dialect fits which state.
From the “old North State” there are
fifty-two students. South Carolina has sent
us twelve of her “Sandlappers” to drink in
our brisk mountain air. There are four
Georgia “Peaches” as well as four West
Virginia “Mountaineers.” Kentucky, Ala
bama, Tennessee, and Maryland are each re
presented by two of their Southern “belles”.
Now hear this: Twenty-one Florida “Ga
tors”! We even have a co-ed from Africa
and a singing lass from California. Also,
there are two — WHAT! YANKEES!!!
At least that’s what they claim, but we
know the Mason-Dixon Line is in Pennsyl
vania and not Maryland.
Our sixteen extension students are all
from North Carolina.

Freshmen Attend
"Grand Ole Opry"
Howdee ! ! ! For a rousing big welcome
to our Freshmen, the Cabinet members
and other council members staged a stup
endous production of the Grand Ole’ Opry
on Monday night, September 7. Dot Mc-
Googan was mistress of ceremonies for
the Hillbilly “hit parade”.
After a little exhibition from the fancy
stepping square dancers, we met that ver
satile “Minnie Pearl”, alias Charlotte Dodd,
who gave us the lowdown on her love life.
After this chronicle “Minnie” and her
“cousin” Rod Brassfield (John Ireson) gave
their rendition of “How Many Times”. By
then everyone needed a commercial, brought
to us by our Tuberose girl, Marcia Hudson,
backed by Glenn Camp and John Ireson.
These two boys, better known as Jerry and
Lee, gave us a piano duet next, with John
singing “You Win Again”.
Things were brought to a close with a
“Mountain Dew” finale, with Bettye Hamp
ton, Marcia, Glenn, and John leading.
Dot invited everyone to a slice of water
melon for the end of an evening of fun.

Students Will Take
Annual Hike to Mitchell
Once a year a group of Montreat students
take the annual hike to Mt. Mitchell. This
year a change has been made in the time
element. Instead of rushing around trying
to get ready on a Saturday afternoon., the
hike is to be a week day. How? Lend
an ear: The Administrative Committee has
agreed that morning classes could run short
beginning at 8 o’clock and ending at 10:55
o’clock. Afternoon classes will be canceled.
This means that everyone who wants to
hike and is approved for hiking (health
