Georgia, Maryland, and Kentucky.
There are 227 freshmen

Fireside
Early in the first year of Brevard
College the need was felt for a club
which would develop personalities
through the study and application
of the best rules of modern etiquette
for home, school and travel. Out
of this need the Fireside Club was
organized and functioned through
out the year. Interesting discus
sions are held each meeting con
cerning the problems that a young
man or a young woman would have
to face in social activities such as
banquets, dinners, teas, etc.
Membership is open to both boys
and girls. During this year the
club expects to grow and continue
its work, with new ideas as well as

characters. There will be some
study of the technique of acting
and of stage craft, and the produc
tion of two or three plays during
the year. The membership of the
club is limited to approximately 20
students. Candidates for member
ship will be given an opportunity to
try out for election in the second
meeting of the club. Students who
are interested in joining The Mas
quers should give their names to
Miss Smith or Miss Goodin and re
ceive information concerning the
rules for the try-outs.
