Brevard College, Brevard, North Carolina, Wednesday, October 9, 1935. Page 3 Seen by Johan Our first glimpse of that versatile man, Pres. E. J. Coltrane, he was in the Administration building sitting on a piano talking with a group of fresh- The luckiest boy we’ve met yet Johnny Bailey, one of Asheville’s num erous gifts to the campus. He had a room reservedf'in West Hall and he kicked about it. You ;ust can’t please some folks, we say. In West Hall there seems to be a few suffering from that dread disease, Acute Nostalgia. The effects are well known. The victim turns blue. The heart aches and the eyes water. The duration of the disease is from three to ten days. The bist known remedy is a visit from the mail man. Now and forever the most unpopu lar quotation on the campus is, “Good night, boys.” I am not certain what the word means, but I’ve heard that there's plen- to of feminine pulchritude on the campus. And we like anything femi nine. How About Having an Orchestra Sunday evening three young men appeared on the platform at vespers and gave some music from a clario net and violin. Could this be a be ginning of an orchestra? A good or chestra adds so much to college life since it can have a part in the pro gram of most every gathering. How about it boys, and girls? Miss Hatcher will direct an orchestra if it is developed. This is a chance for all those who play au instrumen. Bring out your cornet, saxaphone, flute, or anything most you may have except a cornstalk fiddle. “The curfew tolls the knell,' till next week. so long Illiterates The 1930 census revealed that m the United States 4.3 per cent of the population or 4,283;753 persons over len years old were unable to read or write in any language. Add to this 8,000,000 so-called functional ilhter ates—those who cannot read with un derstanding—and it will be seen that this nation has approximately twelve million adults who need training the most elementary education. Contrary to the opinion of many illiteracy is not coi)fmed to the thinly settled parts of the country. Statis tics gathered by the 1930 census in New York State, for example, show that 388,883 persons over ten years of age could not read and write in any language. Most of these wire in Now York City. A Sophomore’s Appreciation of Brevard College Brevard College is open again With the same faith, dauntless cour age, earnest sincerity, and never dying belief in what may be accom plished through our youth; the fac ulty, aud others who are so vitally concerned in us, made it possible for the College to open for the sec ond year. We who were here last year are happy and grateful for the opportunity to be back. The new members of our student body are given a most cordial welcome. We anticipate a great year together. It is my sincere desire that even a closer spirit of cooperation will be manifest. Suuday a week ago at the vesper hour our President spoke inspiring ly to us on the theme, “Remember Jesus Christ.” I think the success 1 of our year together is going to be } measured largely by our willingness -j to take Christ into our every day I activities with us. If Christ be our helper how can we fail? May we with grim determination to win for ourselves the highest and best in life pattern our actions after that masterful Galilean who gave himself whole heartedly in service to humanity.

W. L. English, Mgr. Off to Conference Prof. McNerr is leaving this after noon for Staunton, Virginia, to attend the 151st session of the Baltimore Annual Conference, Methodist Epis copal Church, South. Mr. McNeer has been a member of that Conference since 1908, and for most of that time has served as Pastor of various Churches in the bounds of that Con ference. He left the pastorate of Cal vary Church, Ridgeley, West Virginia, to come to Brevard. This looks like a holiday for his classes, but, - ouch! - he leaves ques tions for full period written tests on Thursday. Saturday’s classes will be made up Friday of next week. Mr McNeer will meet all his classes next Monday, October, 14th. “There's a boy called John Simtn at school here. Msy I see him? I’m his grandfather.” Mr. Williams: You're just too late He,s gone to your funeral.” Students Serving All of Us A college organized on the self-help plan as this one is assigns students to many different tasks. In time we ex pect to note all the tasks to which students devote either brain or brawn, but for this time only those whose services effect all of us. The first per son to be named is Eddie Carlisle. He drifted here from Bostic the middle of last year. He is the most despised man, connected with the College, at 6:30 o’clock every morning. We do not know how much Math. History, or Spanish Eddie has absorbed, but he has learned to ring a bell, and he ap parently takes a delight in waking every body up at 6:30. When any thing is said ebout it Eddie just smiles as though it was all right. Notwith standing the crime at 6:30 Eddie is always forgiven when he rings the bell at 12:55 thus ending class work for the day. Thelbert Wright is the gallant cap tain of the broomball team. Thelbert comes from Shelby where he is sup posed to have learned the broomball game as this is his second year on this team’ With Jimmy Braswell as full back they always make a touchdown on the dust in the administration building as they do the janitor work. We are sorry to record that Thelbert is out of the game for a while on .ac count of appendicitis. We wish for him a speedy recovery. Next meet Marshall Houts, from Rising Fawn, Georgia, who carries the love letters to tnd from the postoffice as it seeme that Uncle Sam is too in different to the most important insti tution in town to render this service. Don’t frown at Marshall if he does not bring the letter yo^ want. He is not supposed to write for his free pa trons. So far we have not heard of him having trouble with the sweet ness oozing out and making the let ters sticky. Let this be a warning to those who write. Another one is the brave and dar ing boogyman chaser. Young ladies, you need never have a fear for when Mazon Murphy, our bold night guard chases aboogyman he chases him clear out of North America. With all his bravery and daring, one caution is necessary. Under no circumstances must the coeds wink at Mazon. He shys at such things and turns red even on top of his head. The champion money taker in Bre vard College is Jimmy Rogers who is found in the Business Manager’s office except when in class. White way Dry Cleaners We Are Equipped Phone 58 C. F. Poole Mrs. C. F.
