Sports At Montreat-Anderson College
From left to right: Priscilla Henley, Esther Henley, Richard Wey, Miss Mary Wells
McNeil, Robert Wey, and the Diaz twins.
Montreaters are seeing double
these days as there are three sets
of twins here. The mountainous
scenery was a big attraction for all
three sets.
Anna Luz and Anna Pas, 15,
daughters of Dr. and Mrs. Melchos
Diaz Rubio, are from Morelia
Michoacan (population 100,000)
in Veracrus, Mexico. In Mexico
they had six years of elementary
school and two years of prepara
tory or high school. They were
carrying twelve to thirteen sub
jects and going to school six days
a week. They might go to class
from seven to nine in the morn
ing, then eat breakfast because the
whole family eats together. Their
main meal is in the middle of the
day, and they like Mexican, Ital
ian, and American food.
Most people can tell them apart,
although in secondary school they
often changed places to play jokes
on the teachers. This summer
they were in Texas where they
learned to water-ski and learned
of Montreat from a Presbyterian
minister in Dallas. Their father,
also a ranch owner, has allowed
them to WAtch operations and
both are planning medical careers.
Our second set of twins Richard
and Robert Wey, born October 20,
1943, come from Arcadia, Florida.
They love sports and both lettered
in football at De Soto High school,
where Richard was a tackle and
Robert was a guard. In the sum
mer they water-ski on Lake Placid
and swim at the Arcadia Country
Club. Their mother teaches the
fourth grade and their father, a
deacon in the Presbyterian Church,
is a pharmacist. They claim that
while their friends can always tell
them apart, their teachers were of
ten confused. The rest of the
family consists of Eugene, 23, and
a water spaniel.
The third set of twins, Esther
and Priscilla Henley, born August
31, 1943, are from Linville, N. C.

SCA Elects
Group Leaders
At a called meeting on Novem
ber 2nd, the executive officers of
The Student Christian Association
elected permanent Spiritual Life,
World Missions, and Music Group
leaders for the remainder of the
college year. The offices have
been temporarily filled on a nine
week basis by the executive offic
ers of the council.
In order to have freshman par
ticipation on the S. C. A. council,
it was the purpose of the council
to substitute temporary leaders
for the groups for the first nine
weeks and elect permanent lead
ers from the members of the
group. The newly elected leaders
are: Richard Altork, Spiritual Life
Group; Carole Jean Upchurch,
Music Group; and Nancy June
Haynes, World Missions Group.
A freshman majoring in Chris
tian Education, Rich is from Key
Biscayne, Miami, Florida. Rich is
now serving on the program com
mittee for the Spiritual Life Group.
His plans for the future are to
study for the ministry.
From Birmingham, Alabama,
Nancy is a freshman majoring in
Liberal Arts. Nancy’s main in-
-terest in life is work on the mission
field and it is because of Nancy’s
capable qualities that she was elect
ed to lead the World Missions
Group.
Carole Jean Upchurch has been
chosen from the sophomore class
to lead the music group. During
Carole Jean’s freshman year she
was an active member of the gi’oup.
She is from Miami, Florida, and
is majoring-in-musie here at- Mon
treat-Anderson.
Fall is here and also football and
soccer are here. The freshmen
and sophomores are preparing to
oppose each other in various con
tests. The boys are playing tag
football and the girls are playing
soccer. These are both fast mov
ing and highly exciting games that
require skill, speed, and precision.
Soccer is a sport that can truly
be called football, for the object
is to kick a ball through a pair of
goal posts. This game requires
stamina and teamwork. A series
of good dribbles and passes will
likely lead to a goal for the team
that has the best team spirit and
the ability to work together.
Tag football is a game that all
of the freshmen boys have been
learning to play. In the intramur
al games they have shown them
selves to be quite adept at this
game. They have beaten the
sophomores twice despite the out
standing play of Tom Flowers, Bob
Talmadge, Tommy Byrnes and the
other men. So if you can’t play
and want to watch some interest
ing contests, go to intramurals.
The schedule is as follows:
Tag Football: Tuesday and Fri
days at 4:10.
Soccer: Mondays and Thursdays
at 4:10.
—By Ronnie Morris.
They have already become known
for their voices at Montreat after
singing “Far Away Places” with
Jean Clark in the freshman talent
show. They have sung together
for banquets, plays, chamber of
commece meetings, and even on
Arthur Smith’s Talent Show at the
age of 12. Their father is owner
of the Linville Inn and pastor of
the Calvary Baptist church. Both
agree that it is nice to have some
body like you, but it doesn’t al
ways have its advantage because
their mother often spanked one
twice when they were little and
even today their father can’t tell
them apart at times. At Newland
High school both played basketball
and both are planning to marry
and establish homes.
One thing the three sets have In
common is that each set thinks and
does the same thing at the same
time. However, nobody minds be
ing a twin.
—by Jan Morrison.
The newly elected group leaders
will be active voting members of
the S. C. A. council and will lead
their groups with full co-operation
from the council.
PAST AND PRESENT—
(From Page 1)
to provide a Christian education
for some five hundred students.
This will necessitate providing fa
cilities for almost double the pres
ent enrollment. A development
council has already begun making
plans for this endeavor. Future
development closely coinside with
that of the Mountain Retreat Asso
ciation. Among prospective build
ings for the college also to be used
by the Association are a social
center and snack shop, Christian
education and administration build
ing, a library, science building,
and expansion of several existing
buildings.
It is the hope of the trustees,
the administration and the faculty
that the resources needed to make
Montreat-Anderson a senior col
lege will soon be provided.
HOMECOMING—
(From Page 1)
The prospective students will be
gin arriving Friday morning. For
chapel Friday an alumus will speak.
Then prospective students will vis
it the classes. At 2:30 p.m. the
Women’s Recreation Association
will lead a hike for anyone inter
ested. Recreation will be in the
gym Friday night.
Our “Homecoming Harvest Ball”
will be held Saturday night at 8
p.m. in Anderson Chapel featur
ing “Fritz Albertson and his
Esquitoes.” The Homecoming King
and Queen will be announced and
there' will 'be entertainment,' tg-
freshments, and dancing.
SOCCER SUMMARY
By Judy Nave
Bruises, sprained ankles and
cuts! These are only a few of the
characteristics of the members of
the freshman and sophomore soc
cer teams. The tournament start
ed off with a bang. On and off
the field, good sportsmanship was
shown by both teams.
The first game was won by the
sophomores 4-0 and they also won
the second game 10-4. This made
the Blue team win the soccer
tournament over the Gold team.
A few days later the freshmen
challenged the upper-classmen to
another game and we had a ter
rific time!
The freshmen are now looking
forward to the speedball tourna
ment, hoping to defeat the sopho
mores. The sophomores are anx
iously waiting for the challenge as
is offered by the freshmen.
WRITERS CLUB
For those that have been inter
ested in forming a Writer’s Club,
there is a possibility in doing so.
All interested persons are asked
to submit two works or manu
scripts by November 30. Member
ship will be based on these manu
scripts and on an interview by a
faculty committee of five. Since
prose will be emphasized the first
four months, it is required that one
of the manuscripts be prose. The
second may be either prose or
poeti’y. These manuscripts may be
a personal essay, a news story, a
short story, or any other narrative
or descriptive writing. They may
vary in length.
The purpose of the selected 10
or 12 members will be to discuss
and evaluate the -wi'itings of each.
OUR HONOR CODE
“What is the Honor Code?” is
a question which has been in the
minds of students since they were
first exposed to the Honor Code.
There’s a paragraph in the 1961-
62 Student Handbook which says,
“Each student and faculty mem
ber has a responsibility for himself
and for every other member of
the college community. The fail
ure of one person to live honorably
is in part the failure of all.. .”
Too many of us misinterpret this;
we try to make it sound as if each
student and faculty member has a
responsibility to tattle on every
other member of the college com
munity. This is not at all the
meaning of that paragraph; rather,
it means that each one has his own
honor to be responsible for and
has the responsibility of helping
those who do not succeed in living
honorably. Telling on the person
is not upholding the Honor Code.
It is helping to break it down, and
also to destroy the wholesome at
titude of the student body.
Until everyone’s interpretation
of the Honor Code reaches ap
proximately the same level, dis-
"sension, hurt, and humiliation will
haunt our campus. Think about
W. R.A. NEWS
Yea Blue! Yea Gold! These
were the ferocious war cries heard
on the old soccer field for the
past few weeks. What a wonder
ful time it was playing under the
direction of Mrs. Harvey and Mr.
Bostian. However, the sophomores
certainly missed their own Miss
Smith. The tournament consisted
of the best two out of three games.
The freshmen lost the first game
with a four to nothing score, and
a ten to four defeat at the closing
minutes of the second tournament.
However, they showed their keen
ness in play and their high spirits
throughout the whole tournament.
Their spirits went so far that they
promised to win the speedball
tournament. The speedball tourna
ment will be our next big event.
Who will win remains to be seen,
but I wouldn’t be a bit surprised
if the freshmen make their come
back in this tournament.
The students have also been
playing horse-shoe tournaments.
These tournaments are still under
way. We will probably have the
.results for you in next month’s
issue.
There is also the hiking spirit
in the air. Students have been
working hard on their hikes, and
there are a large number of turn
outs for this wholesome activity.
Last Tuesday there were about 32
daring students who hiked up to
Mt. Mitchell, which is about 18
miles from Montreat walking
through the mountains. They all
had a very wonderful hike and, I
might add, a beautiful one since
the leaves were in their peak of
color.
The W. R. A. invites all women
students to come out and partici
pate. There is an activity for YOU,
so come out and show us what you
can do.
—Lynn Gouner.
