MONTREAT NEWS Miss Ethel Hanley and her Happy-Go-Lucky Marionettes, un- J der the direction of the Southeast- J em School Assemblies, appeared at Montreat College, night, December 10, 1945. This was her second visit to Montreat and it was just as enjoyable and fascinating as the previous ones.! Especially so was the imitations of the most famous actors and ac tresses of the stage and screen, 1 and the dramatizatino of the fairy! stories that every one loved- We hope she will return next sea son. -—~o 1 The college choir and Glee Club presented their annual program of Christmas music Wednesday evening in Gaither Chapel. A very beautiful candle light proces sional prefaced the music. Under the direction of Mrs. Randall, with Mrs. Johnson at the piano, the Glee Club opened the program with Gruber’s “Silent Night” fol lowed by “The Birthday of a King’ by Neidlinger. Their remaining numbers surprised everyone by the ease and deterity. with which they were delivered and spoke well for their training and instruc tion. The second half of the program was rendered by the Qpllege Choir under the direction of Miss Wood house with Miss Lord at the piano’. Their first number was “Break Forth, Oh Beauteous Heavenly Light,” by Bach, the second, “Shepherd’s Christmas Song,” by Dickinson. Following this was an arrangement by Fitzgerald of an Alsation Carol, “Slumber, My Dove,” and then, Prokoff’s “A Chrsitmas Cradle Song.” For their closing group the choir sang five numbers from the Messiah: “And the Glory of the Lord,” “For Unto Us a Child Is Born,” “He Shall Feed His Flock,” “Come Unto Him,” and the “Halleluiah Chro us.” This was an evening of music equal to many given by the choirs of much larger schools and sur passing many programs of pro fessional nature. Montreat Col lege is fortunate in having such accomplished groups and such fine instructors. o Gaither Chapel was the scene of another most beautiful enter tainment when on Sunday eve ning at 7:30 the College Y. P. C. presented the pageant “On Earth Peace,” with the help of the Wo man’s Auxiliary of the Montreat Church. It was under the direc tion of Miss Elizabeth Hoyt. Char acters in the pageant were por trayed as follows: “Mary,” Mary Katherine Wood; “Joseph,” Eve lyn Wallace; “Readers,” Elizabeth 1 Miller and Marguerite Hayman; “Wise Men,” Pat Shoaf, Jean Din gus, and Louise Peterson; “Shep herds,” Betty Foster, Virginia Nevelle, Betty Whitlte, Elizabeth Stillman and Ann Browning; “An gels,” Katherine Gillespie (Peace) Anne McKnight (Prophecy), Ruth Love Lee (Faith), F«ince Dysart (Hope), Victoria Samburg (Hu manity), and Nancy Brunson (Herald), Gladys Goodman and The original Free Will Baptist Church of North Carolina, who recently purchased the Craigmontj property for assembly grounds; from Ray Harrison of Black | Mountain, say that the grounds will be used as a camp site for the young people of our church, for the Women’s Auxiliary As sembly Conventions, for the Min p-*-—.<■* - THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS Ruth Smith, the Y. P. C. presi dents, conducted the opening de votionals. Members of the Col- j lege Choir furnished music for| the pageant, and the High School Glee Club sang before and after the services. A large “joy grist” j offering was received which will go to the work of the committee 1 on Christian Education and Min- 1 isterial Relief. Wednesday evening following the musical the faculty of the college went to the home of Dr. and Mrs. R. C. Anderson, where a short faculty meeting was held. Then other members of the staff joined them and a delightful so cial hour • was enjoyed. Dr. An derson talked to the group and Miss Hoyt gave a Christmas read ing. Miss Lord and Mrs. Randle accompanied the singing of sev eral Christmas carols. A delight ful refreshment course of ice cream, fruit and pound cakes, j nuts, candies and coffee was served from a lace covered cloth,! centered with a beautiful ar- j rangement of Christmas greens and candles. This courtesy is an annual affair and looked forward to with much anticipation by the favored personnell and always greatly enjoyed. o Another high light in entertain ing is when Mrs. R. C. Anderson i has her Sunday School class come! for buffet supper, which this year was on Sunday evening prior to the pageant. A delightful plate of croquets, hot biscuits, salads, nuts, candies and ice cream was served to the third year college class which comprised the group. The Day Students Club met with John C. Robertgrin on Tues day for a business sessqn. The nresident, Joy Landrum presided. Ten members, the sponsor, Miss Ellis, and one visitor, John Ne ville, attended. The club is look ing forward to having several vis itors and other Montreaters home from college for the holidays. The serving of hot chocolate, wafers and cookies brought to a close another successful session. Pfc. and Mrs. David Brown have gone to Atlanta, Ga., where Private Brown will remain until he receives his discharge. After that they plan to make their home in Miami, Fla. Mrs. Brown has been assistant clerk at Assembly Inn for several months and her pleasant personality and courte ous willingness will be greatly missed. Her mother, Mrs. Hoeg land, and sister, Mrs. Raby, who have been hostess and clerk, re spectively, will leave shortly for their home in St. Petersburg, Fal. We have been happy to have had ! this estimable family with us and shall be looking forward to their return in the summer, as they have purchased a cottage on West' Virginia Terrace. o | Another annual event for which j Montreat is becoming increasing- j ly famous is the Doll Festival held ' bach year in the spacious studio of Mr. and Mrs. Crosby Adams, at their home “The House in the' J of visitors and guests during the | year when church organizaitons and camp groups are not in ses ’j sions. I ' There will be a “resident man -1 ager” located in the manager’s ’ building the year around to care , for the property, and to provide for the guests as they come and go on visits for rest and recrea-. Woods.” Monday afternoon, Dec. 10, was the date of a lovely recital of piano music and song by their pupils with which Mrs. Adams assisted, and to which Mr. Adams added by the reading of several delightful poems. The weather being very inclement kept a few away who usually at tend but a very appreciative and responsive audience .enjoyed the program and brought a number of lovely dolls. These dolls are always sent to children in some locality where toys are not too pentiful.
