// THOUGHTS // Page 4 BREAMIN’ Sometimes I sit and dream of times that were better, The days I never wanted to end. The nights that seemed so special. I dream of times when I could run and jump and laugh. Times when life was just a game to play with friends. When I pretended and things went my way. I dream of days when the only thing that hurt was skinning my knees. Times when love seemed so simple. The days of childhood were good to me... ...But then, I awake from my dream. I’m almost an adult now-one to make decisio s, A person who can’t make a game out of life. I realize that life is more than running and jumping. The days are going to end and the nights can’t last forever. I’m going to get hurt without skinning my knees. And without meaning to. I’ll hurt others around me- The ones I love the most. I will love and I will be loved. I will learn and help others learn. Together-we will laugh and cry. Fort MIILS.C.. Holds Art Exhibition And life will go on. The Doll BY Marlene Berry The silent figure stands against the wall and with mute eyes watches the room where her mistress once played. Invisible tears fill her eyes as she recalls the warmth and life which had en veloped the room before her playmate went away. She is sad, althou^ with just a glance, the casual observer would be unable to detect this from her expressionless features. Her sadness comes fron a longing- a l(«ging for her hard, immobUe body to be held again tightly in the young arms that were filial with so much love. A need to be the comforting influence to a young girl who had to talk to someone. She stands there, ever leaning against the wall, with her eyes still watching the empty room. She recalls the times the room had been absent of its mistress, but those times were diffemt. She stands there, ever leaning against the wall, with her eyes still watching the empty room. She recalls the times the room had been absent of its mistress, but those times were different It bad never been so bare before. The only things left now were the things from childhood like herself. Yes, she sadly adnolts, she is a childhood possessimi. She thinks of her appearance-worn, faded and dull and of things she had lost over the years; -things like her sparkling eyes, now dull with age and the eyelashes which framed them. She realized that old childish things do not belmg in the world c! a young adult and her tired body slumps farther against ‘be waU. M.A.C.

Carrie Amanda Hall 1-21-80 Discovery - Check It Out! by Craig Almeida The evening sky glowed a bright orange as the last ^ the suns rays shot over the mountains. A genfie breeze blew from the south. Darkness began to cover the forest. A faint flicker of light could be seen in the distance through the trees. Within the shadows, the seven peq)le of group ,“A” sat quietly around a campfire. No one ^d anything. They were eitlwr exhaust^ hungry, lonesome, or afraid, wondering what tomorrlow would hold. Among those sitting around the fire were Karen Drost, Patrick Curry, Charlie Jamison and David Owenby. Karen sat, untying her soggy, thick, boot laces, in order to get to her water-logged socks. It had been eight days since she had taken a real bath, except for the one she had taken that afternoon on Did you know? Did you know that the “tallest man, Robert Wadlow, was ei^t feet, eleven inches tall when he was 22 years old?” “that the most children ever bom by a single mother is 69?” “the film with the highest world gross earnings was “The God father?” - “It grossed 100,000,000 dcdlars.” “the man who has won the most ‘Oscars’ is Walter Elias Disney. His total is 35.” “the biggest candle is Western Candle Company’s 50 foot high, 18 foot diameter candle. It is along U.S. Highway 30 in Oregon.” “the Biltmore House has 200 rooms, 119,000 acres and today is worth approximately 53,000,000 dollars.” the spur of the moment, while canoeing. Patrick sat on a dead log near the fire. He had found a snoaU stick and was slowly picking all the dried mud from his boot treads. All that he could think of was survival and food. He dreaded the thought of what lie ahead, but Patrick knew that God would provide the strength that he needed physically, emotionally and spiritually. All was quiet, except for the occasional cooing of a night owl in the distance, and the crackling fire which was slowly growing dim. (Charlie began to add woi^ to the fire as darimess surrounded than. He had learned a great deal that day and was anticipating more adventure in the days to come. He had found that be did not need many of the conveniences whi^ he often took for granted, while back in Montreat. David, on the other hand, just sat and observed everyone else’s movements. He was tired, sore, and ready to call it a night. The past eight days had really drained his energy, and he was wondering what the outcome in all of th^ would be. All of these people were par ticipating in the MAC wilderness program, which they had diosen freely to embark upon. They would eventually spend a total of seventeen days experiencing hardship, joy, fear, loneliness, trust in other, and a sense of a deeper communion with God in the moimtains of North Carolina...Tbis is Discovery. It may be for you. C3ieck it out! Dear Sophomore, I am but one of the Freshmen who feels the need to thank you for the kindness you’ve shown us in these last few weeks. I came to Montreat looking for education, and found not only that, but a mutual loving concern within the student body. Your never-ending interest towards my personal advancements and adjustments have proven to me the fact that in one comer of this sometimes nasty world, there is a spark of light! Truly, the gratitude I feel for the people at Montreat is a feeling of joyful thanks that I’ll never be able to really express. I know that this year holds much promise for our new Freshman class, and to have the backing of such a Christ-like team of Sophomores, forwards even more those chances of suc cess. Sophomores, I pray that you also will train us to be as considerate as you’ve been this year, next year. Many, many thanks! Margaret Alien
