BASKETBALL SEASON
WILL BEGIN SHORTLY
AUTUMN
I love to see, when leaves depart.
The clear anatomy arrive.
Winter, the paragon of art,
That kills all forms of life and feeling
Save what is pure and will survive.
Already no the changing chains
Of geese are harnessed to the moon:
Stripped are the great sun-clouding
planes:
And the dark pines, their own re
vealing,
et in the needles of the moon.
Strained by the gale the olives
within /
Like Hoary wrestlers bent with toil
And, with the vines, their branches
lighten
To brim our vats where summer
lingers
In the red froth and Sun-gold oil.
STUDENTS COME
TO MONTREAT
FOR CONFERENCE
Montreat-Anderson college was
host to 240 high school students for
a journalism conference held Sept
ember 23-24 at Assembly Inn. It was
the first journalism conference the
college had ever attempted. The con
ference was led by Mr. Weimar Jones,
a publicity expert, and an advisior to
the college. According to Mr. Jones,
“the conference was far beyond any
expections we had.”

newspaper workshop or the yearbook

while the yearbook workshop centered
around layout and advertising.
Students when interviewed gave
answers to the problems that beset
them in putting out a high school
paper. Cynthia Young, a student from
Charlotte, N. C., said, “Our major
problem is not having enough money.”
Donna Freeman, a senior from West
Henderson High School said, “We
have a problem in finding articles of
interest to everyone. There is al
ways a failure in meeting deadl
ines.
Twenty-six schools from Vir
ginia, North Carolina, and South Car
olina sent student representatives
and their advisors to the conference.
According to Mr. John Madison, the
Registrar, “Montreat - Anderson
