Student Speaks
Frank Powell
As we face the end of the school year
and the beginning of another one, we should
realize that college is not a place for im
mature people. We are all over the ‘hump”
of changing from the high school “kid”
to the college student. This year has
taught us many things;; among them are
respect for others and respect for ourselves.
If in the coming year, we remember this
respect, Montreat-Anderson College will
come to be an even more outstanding in
stitution. I am not saying, however, that
this is the only thing that needs the atten
tion of the students. We need to remem
ber all the aspects that create good har
mony in the dormitory, on campus, and in
the classroom. Co-operation on the part
of every student will bring about all these
things.
Co-operation means abiding by the rules
and applying them for your benefit and
for the benefit of others while you are a
student at Montreat-Anderson. It also
means abiding by the rules which life
makes. One of these is the ability to for
give although your feelings or your pride
have been hurt. Alexander Pope once
said, ‘-To err is human, to forgive divine.”
The ability to understand, or at least make
an honest effort to understand, the actions
of people is another of life’s rules. These
things are not impossible to achieve; they
can be obtained.
Let’s make next year a time of evolution
rather than revolution, evolving into a
college more dedicated to its purpose, that
purpose having its origin in Christ.
SUCCESS
One of man’s governing desires is to be
successful. Success, to some is measured
by material wealth and power. To others,
however, success is something far different.
Men have subjected their lives to Al
mighty God and every factor in their suc
cess was God-given.
What determined their success? What
made theirs a great life? I believe that by
acquiring, as nearly as possible, the quali
ties of the greatest man that ever lived,
we become successful, perhaps not suc
cessful as the world measures success,
but successful in the eyes of the Great
Success. If we humbly become an instru
ment in God’s hand, obeying His will for
our lives, how can we but succeed?
Success is not money. Success is not how
much of world’s goods we possess. Success
goes much deeper.
Success is based, not upon the wealth
of material goods, but upon wealth of love
and friendship, the wealth of family, the
wealth of faith and daily communion with
God.
Are we to be weak? Are we to be un
concerned? Are we to lose the fight that
is before us? No! Success can be the
victor! We must not allow failure. The
answer is to trust in God. Only then can
success be the victor.
APOLOGIES TO COOPER—(From Page 1)
edged as she was in the National Honor
Society in high school and on the Dean’s
List first semester at Montreat. Rebecca’s
warm friendliness and understanding of
others makes her a true “Montreat girl”
and a truly welcomed member of the Stu
dent Government Council.
Personalily of
“Our little Toni B.” these familiar words
can be heard around campus almost every
day.
Toni may be small but in her 4 feet 11
inches, is packed a powerful mind charac
ter, and statue. Toni was editor of her
high school annual and participated in
various church activities. She has an older
sister and one younger brother. Toni prizes
her parents and brother and sister. Many
a day a group of girls can be seen sitting
in room 111 listening to an inspiring letter
from her mother or a comical letter from
her dad.
You’d think Toni was a mechanical bee
buzzin’ around, but it’s just Toni busy as
ever with studies, or just plain being a
well rounded individual by sun-bathing on
Howerton roof. Toni rarely wastes a mo
ment for if she isn’t busy fulfilling her
responsibilities then she’s doing for oth
ers. Toni is an example of one who be
lieves if a job is worth doing, it is worth
doing well.
A dean’s hst student and a dependable
worker are just a couple of Toni’s merited
characteristics.
