THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH
“The old order changeth, yielding place to new,
And God fulfills himself in many ways ...”
So remarked Arthur in Tennyson’s “Idylls of the King”. So may we remark
as another year draws to a close . . . “the old order changeth, yielding place to the
new”.
But let us consider the old order, the old staff. They have worked unself
ishly, although they found it inconvenient at many times, to provide you with a
paper of which you might be proud. This was the laying of the foundation. It is
up to the new order, the new staff, to erect the building, a building which will
withstand the storms and tempests of life.
As every builder knows, it is most important that the building be constructed
with only the best materials. It is not less true in the case of a newspaper. One
cannot always print only that which is pleasant to the eye or pleasing to the ear.
One is, however unpleasant it may be, under an obligation to himself and to his
readers to print the truth, and to print it accurately.
A building always reflects something of the personality of its builder. A news
paper will reflect the ideas and ideals of its editor, as well as those of its readers.
If you want a picture of Montreat, read your school paper, for in it you will see
yourself.
It has been said that nothing is sure but change. It is to be expected that
the staff of a newspaper will change from year to year. The one thing that does not
change is the conception of truth. May you create a paper which will be a monument
to your school, your community, and your God. B. H.
A WHILE...”
As we come to the end of the year, we
think back over all the friends that we
have made here in Montreat. There have
been many, but one in particular stands
out in our minds—one who has always been
ready to help us with the smallest prob
lem, and one who has brightened the lives
of those with whom she has associated.
This is our Ann Bullard!
Among the many, many other things,
chorus members will never forget the
motherly affection she showed them on
chorus tour, and how she comforted them
on the “Hazard Road”. W e will
never be able to find another “dramamine
kid”, or “brown pill promoter” to take her
place.
Although we will miss her next year,
we are happy that she will be continuing
her work for the Lord as the Director of
Christian Education at the Shenandoah
Presbyterian Church in Miami, Fla.
Ann, we all appreciate the work that you
have done, the interest you have shown,
and the joy that you have shed here at
Montreat. We are thankful that as Chris
tian friends we never have to say good-bye.
So, in saying “So-long for a little while”,
we want you to know that our love, our
thoughts, and our prayers will continue to
go with you wherever the Lord may lead
you.
