The Versatile Ha A most prominent figure on Montreat’s campus is our professor of biology and chemistry, Dr. Karl Snyder. In addition to the responsibility as head of the science department, he is president of the Montreat Garden Club, secretao’ of toe Men of the Church, Sunday School Superindendent, has charge of the Autoo Visual Department of the college, advisor for the DIALETTE, a husband, and a father. Dr. Snyder was horn in Gardenia, Calif., in 1915. He received his B.A. at Occidental College in Los Angeles and received his M.S. and PhD. in Entomology at the Uni versity of California. He worked five years ^ the University of California Agriculture Experimental Station, specializing in but terflies. He began his career in teaching in 1951. He spent five years in Texas, teaching three years at Trinity University in San Antonio, one year at East Texas State, and one year at Texarkana Jr. College. He be came affiliated with Montreat in 1956. ed: One important date has been over-look- the year the “love bug’’ bit. Con sequently, Miss Katie Kirkpatrick of Max- ton, N. C., bcame his bride. They now have three lovely children, Karl, Jr., Eric, and Emily. For the past three summers Dr. Snyder nnnnv has been a Ranger Naturalist: two sum- busy feeding the ^ ~ — mers with the U. S. Park Service in the Smokies and one with the Blue Ridge Park way. He does not think that he will be working on the Parkway again. Why? Well, to make a long story short, he gave directions to the boss’ wife and she got lost! Dr. Snyder has several hobbies. He loves music, collects unusual answers given on his biology and chemistry tests, and, of course, his favorite hobby is art. Pres ently he is designing a map for the new Montreat catalogue. As a project for the Montreat Living Endowment Fund, he sketches the cottages in this vicinity for the owners. He also prepared pictures for the book, PRINCIPLES OF INSECTS PATH OLOGY, published by McGraw-Hill. Incidentally, have you heard about the new addition to the Snyder family. Dr. Snyder declares that he certainly is kept Browsing with Bettye H you could have seen “Browsing Bettye’’ last Saturday afternoon you would have wondered just where “browsing” stop ped and “going on the rampage” started. In all probability the Dialette staff won dered the same thing. Since everyone was too busy to take time to come to the reg ular staff meeting, or was having company and couldn’t take time to write a news story, the Dialette got pushed aside . . . ns usual. And, as usual, it was late get ting to the printer and, thus late getting to the subscribers. This is your paper; it is the voice of the school; it is a means of blowing off steam about your likes and dislikes, if you have any! Yet, some of you don’t care enough about the paper to give a few min utes of your time in order that we have a paper. To a great extent, having a news paper next year depends on what happens to the Dialette this year. A one man staff is no good, but it’s better than a twenty nian staff with nineteen excuses for not coming to the meetings, who expect to see their names emblazoned across the mast head. Please, this is a necessity ... if you Want a paper, say so, and then support it. If you DON’T want one, say so, and save the school’s money and the editor’s head aches! Ford §lv@s Rscifal Mrs. Mary Jo Ford, a resident of Ashe ville gave a violin recital to the Montreat College student body recently. Mrs. Ford received her education at Asheville-Bilt- more College and the University of North Carolina. She studied violin in New York and is a member of the North Carolina Symphony. In addition, she is an ac complished singer, pianist, and organist. She is now the organist and choir director at Trinity Episcopal Church in Asheville. Mr. Clair Hardenstine, professor of music at Montreat College, accompanied Mrs. Ford. School Teams Vie The Harlem Globe Trotters have nothing on the Montreat basketball teams! The student body has been divided into four main teams: TheAlpha-Bits are led by Linda Parnell; Dorothy Darr is the cap tain of the Court-Cutters; The Wogels are led by Ella Mae Miller; Co-captains of the Mountain Raiders are Mary Carswell and Grace Caudill. A doubleheader, early in February, will see the Alpha-Bits meet the Wogels, and the ourt-Cutters vs. the Mountain Raiders. After the chorus returns from tour, sev eral other games will be scheduled. From these teams will be selected the Blue and Gold varsity. Paint, Repairs Improve Looks Montreat has had a new face lifting! The interior of Howerton Hall has been painted, and new Venetian blinds will be installed in the very near future. Fellow ship Hall has been renovated and some of the classrooms in Gaither Hall will be re decorated. New typewriters and desks are being purchased for the business department. The sun porch in Assembly Inn has been waterproofed as well as repainted and French doors have been built at the en trance. It is rumored that thei-e are other re novations to be made in Assembly Inn. This is not a big scale plan for the im provement of Montreat. It is just the making of badly needed repairs and re novations as time permits. Faculty Stomps Co-eds, 43-23 Everyone sat tense and silent, voices hoarse from high-pitched cheers and screams. They were waiting for “Terror” Burchfiel to sink the last basket. There remained only five seconds left in the game. He made it! The scoreboard flash ed 43-23. Montreal Faculty were victorious with a 20 point margin over the Montreal Co-eds. Thus ended the exciting basketball game held in McAllister Hall on Saturday night, January 23.
