Future Citizens
The week of April 18-23 was one of major importance to the students of Mon
treat College. It was during this time that the student body selected their leaders
for the school year of 1960-61. Upon these people who will serve on Cabinet as
well as carry out the duties of their various offices, rests the responsibility of ex
ecuting the desires of the student body.
This does not mean that the responsibility must rest solely on those chosen,
but the possibility of a successful year depends largely on the attitudes, support, and
cooperation of the entire student body. We are future citizens, and this is our op
portunity to cultivate an appreciation of the responsibilities and the benefits which
come to us because we are free Americans.
Worying together with an acceptance of this responsibility, the student body
of Montreat-Anderson College can rise to new heights, attempt things before untried,
bring out the best in every individual, and conquer new goals.

Successful Service Is Support
Once again the elections for the various positions in the student body have
been filled. These were chosen carefully and with much consideration. You chose
these people because you felt that they would accept the responsibility bestowed upon
them willingly and without reservations.
However, these people will not be able to function in the desired capacity
unless the student body is behind them . . . pushing, not just standing there watching.
Each person likes to feel that he has done his best when a job is completed.
It gives one a great deal of satisfaction to look back on a year of hard work and
hear someone say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant”.
The officers of the various organizations have served you this year imselfishly,
giving of their time when they had no time. Yet, even this was not enough to stir
some of the students to action. Why this nonchalant air, this disinterest in the
affairs of the student body?
Everyone knows that the students make the school, not just the few people
who hold the major offices. This year’s officers are not complaining about the lack
of support given them by the students, and in some cases, the faculty. They are,
however, pleading for the support of the student body next year.
It is understood that this has been a year of change and decision. It has been
an easy job for no one to adjust himself to the circumstances imposed upon the
entire population of Montreat by the change in the status of the college. It is with
much patience and forbearance that the crises of the year have been met. Every
one has had time to become accustomed to the ways of Montreat.
It is the earnest plea of the present officers that the student body pledge their
full support to the officers and faculty next year that Monreat may move forward
to the glory of God.

STUDENTS SPEAK:
Dear Editor:
Have you ever felt that you have reach
ed the point of exasperation and were
ready to explode? Well, I have! My first
gripe is about those persistent little busy-
bodies who feel that they have every right
to enter your room and borrow something
without asking. I do not enjoy associat
ing with people who do not fully compre
hend the meaning of the word “Respect”.
My second gripe is about those poor
people who do not believe in putting their
hidden talents to use. Every time I ask
for help I get the same answer every
time, “I can’t.” Are these people trying
to send the present workers to their grave
at an early age? H so, then let me be
the first to congratulate them on their
accomplishments. God did not give us
talents so that we naight keep them hidden.
He wants our all. How can we as Chris
tians give all if we don’t use all that
He has given us?
