Prospective Student Visits Affected by Snowy Weather
7 Students Visit; International Interest Growing
by Linda Shirlen
During the weekend of March 22-23,
seven prospective students were able to feel
what it was like to be a student at Montreat
College. They stayed overnight in the
dorms and attend classes on Friday. These
students came from Florida, Charlotte, and
rennessee. “ Ihc low attendance was due
to some schools having classes on Satur
day,” stated Admissions Assistant Amy
Sperry.
Many students have eyed Montreat’s
beautiful campus in their search for a col
lege. Montreal’s reputation is known not
only locally, but around the world. Mon
treal has a reputation of being a Christ-cen
tered school, and also of having a well-
rounded academic facility. The visitation
weekends allow the students to see if
Montreal College is the place for them.
Another opportunity for prospec
tive students is Fantastic Friday, which
is scheduled for April 12. This Fantas
tic Friday targets juniors and a special
emphasis has been placed on reaching
church youth groups and private
schools. Visiting students will partici
pate in varied activities including cam
pus tours, appointments with future fac
ulty advisors, and attending classes and
seminars. Prospects can also try-out for
music or athletic groups.
Assistant Director of Admissions
Willie Magnum stated, “The biggest

is the Christian emphasis and the size.
Students learn about Montreal through
various channels including athletics and
mission organizations. For example,
thanks to Dr. Vaguhn’s (former Presi
dent) work in Kenya with the mission’s
hospital, we have four interested students
from Kenya. We also have two young
men, Liberian refugees, who have ex
pressed interest in Montreal. One is liv
ing in New York and the other in Guinea,
West Africa. The word of our faith and
academics is spreading.”
Magnum also noted students that
were eyeing Montreal from Haiti,
Canada, Trinidad, and Cameroon.

hope that they will be encouraged to do so
after seeing what we have done and what
thay can do.”
Simpkins expressed, “1 think that the
exibit is a great idea. We’ve worked hard;
now the people get to see what we’ve done.
We express ourselves through our work,”
adding, “1 hope that everyone sees it and
sees the talent we have here-there’s so
much.”
Day concluded, “I hope that our art
work won’t just be entertainment, but that
it will actually create an inspiration or de
sire in a student to do the same or to take
an art class here.” He added, “1 hope that
the exibit will show people the value of
art and culture in society and give the
incintive to create an art major on cam
pus.”

The men’s tennis played their first
home game against Lenoir-Rhyne last Fri
day. The team lost the match at 6-3 overall.
The women’s team experienced their
first dual match Sunday against Clinch Val
ley losing 9-0.
Second seed Jon Abel explained his
view point over the first two games, “Lenoir
Rhyne was a great team, but 1 gave them a
run for their money.”
Commenting on Clinch Valley, Abel
replied, “They played well, but the score of
the match does not reflect our performance
because 1 believe we gave 100%.”
The men’s team is looking forward
to their further matches. Doubles player
Nathan Gragg emphasized, “We played
well, it is just that we are playing very good
teams. 1 think that we are getting better with
each game, and hopefully we will be win
ning some of the close games instead of
loosing them.”
Redshirted Philip Quinn added, “The
season will be a struggle, but 1 know we
will play hard and be competitive.”

the players to learn something that they can
build upon and have fun while they are play
ing during each match.
“I hope 1 will improve the way 1 play,”
