Poivell Considered Asset
To one who definitely has taken Mon
treat to his heart, and has adapted himself
to the environment with hardly any change
in his personal life. To one who under
stands others, and sincerely tries to de
velop his abilities to the greatest capacity.
To one who is devoted to Christian service
and brings happiness to others around
him—we proudly name Frank Powell the
student of the month.
Frank is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Claren Powell of Red Springs, North Caro-
lina. He has a younger brother, Bobby,
who is still in high school. Upon his
graduation from Red Springs High school,
Frank obtained one of the highest honors
bestowed on a high school senior.
He has already proved his ability as a
leader by the excellent work he is doing
on the Student Christian Association Coun
oil. He is a member of the Montreat
Singers; he did one of the tenor solo
roles in the Christmas pageant. In ad
dition to his classes Frank has a 14 hour
work scholarship in the Montreat library.
His “Boss”, Miss Virginia Buchanan, had
Ihis to say about Frank; “Frank is court-
eous and gentlemanly. He manifests abil
ity to perform the great variety of library
routines which he has been assigned. It
IS an asset to the library program to have
rrank among the library assistants”.
Frank’s favorite hobby is singing, and
lie is often seen in the “rec hall” singing
with “you know who” at the piano. Another
of his hobbies is basketball. All the while
in the background—and sometimes in the
foreground is seen Mary Gale Haynes,
Frank’s favorite female. She says of
rank: “He is indeed a truly wonderful
person, one in a million. Words can not
describe the true Frank. He is always
considerate and understanding. I consider
myself a very lucky person”.
Indeed, the Montreat campus is a much
etter place because of the presence of
Frank Powell.

First of all I’d like to say, although the
Montreat Spirit is in all of us, I think
we’ll all agree no one has quite as much
spirit as Joaime Manning. Joanne, we’re
all thinking about you and praying for
you.
Next, I get down on bended knees to
ask forgiveness for the misspelling of the
name of one of our dearly beloved stu
dents. Jayne Newcombe, please except
most humble apology.
The South will rise again!!? If you
ask me, it’s the South Congo. Limbo,
Limbo, Queen of the Congo—^Eh “Boom
Boom”? While talking about the South,
just ask Jim Nance who started the Civil
War.
By the way, since when did it get so cold
that trees have to wear coats? Reese, I
reality think the trees will survive without.
Sara Bird did you ... no, I better not
say.
Miss McNeill, did you really spill your
milk on the bus? Now don’t say you didn’t,
I know. And don’t you go and blame it
on the bus driver just because he stopped
short.

Can’t wait ’til tomorrow (another exam)
Today’s been such fun (I’ve done nothing
but cram)
I’ve memorized history (the dates and
such)
I’ve studied my English (though not very
much)
I’ve pondered on Bible (I feel so dense)
I’m puzzled on French verbs (what’s that
new tense?)
I’ve worried and fretted and pulled my
hair
And now that I’ve studied, I don’t even
care!
I couldn’t care less what my grades will be;
I’m happy-go-lucky! Worry? Not me!
The best thing to do is to just keep cool
They can’t make me panic—I’m nobody’s
fool!
