FAREWELL
It is customary for a retiring editor as his last official
act to write a very '• tear-jerking" fare-well editorial. This
editorial, we have been told, should lean heavily on the con -
structive things that he and his paper have done for the
school and, of course, shy away from the things that were per
haps promised but never done. We recall promising only one
thing last year and that was to do ovir best. We haven't been
able to do everything that we would like to have done but we
have tried to do what we did well. Of course, sometimes what
we thought was dene well wasn't done well enough.
We really wish that we could say that Montreat-Anderson is
a better place novj that we have lived here for the past two
years. But we can't honestly see any way that we have improved
its lot.
■ We had hoped that by the end of this year students of this
school would have developed enough interest in their future to
at least write a letter to the editor but we guess that there
are just too many students who are "Willie Weejeens" and go a-
long with the conforming, lazy crowd to have any opinion of
their own.
We had hoped that our paper would become a real voice for
students' opinions and problems and be a true link between these
problems and the administration but until students here realise
that this is a college and not an expensive kindergarHen and
that in order to have their opiaions honored they are going to
have to show some maturity and responsibility, there will be no
link between administration and students, ever.
We had also hoped that we would help make Montreat-Anderson
known again as a seat of higher education and not as a school
for flunkies. Ihe only way we really hej-ped in thir was
to keep from flunking out ourselves.
Our biggest regret in this whole bus,' less of our stay at
Montreat-Anderson is that it can't laS' for another two years.
We love Monti jat and ue always will lo her. As our Alma Mater
so truly put,, it—we know for a fact.
How d ir to our hearts will the lemory be
Of the daj'j we have spent in Ihy care,
When :Lthin t'- y dear halls we h . ^e lingered awhile
A1. thy gi Fts and thy blessir: s to share.
So th memory of thee will ever remain,
Wli Le we ti.ink of each dear 1 -.llowed scene;
And the bonds of true loyalty, best through the
ye rs,
Ou affect jns will every kec. green.
Then to thee, Alma Mater, we'l] ever be true,
Th ugh the oming years scatt r us far.
And i e ideal; you taught us wil ■ ever be bright,
SV f. ing SIS our life's gu. iing star.
