Are You Holding Out?
It seems that there is a large
number of students who have not
groups wherever possible.
College students are being asked
to cooperate in the general .object
ivesof the Youth Program in a num
ber of ways. First, by holding in
telligent, purposeful discussions as
to how best the benefits of college
training can be made

National Youth
Administration
The begirining of the functioning
of the National Youth Administra
tion’s program has a timely signifi
cance for every college student.
The general state of our national
affairs, economic and social, makes
it imperative for every individual,
in or out of college to apply his best
thought to the solution of these
problems which confront us today
It is certainly true that what is
needed more than any one thing is
a revival of self-dependence, which
dependence is likely to be lost in
time of national stress. The gov
ernment’s intervention in the field
of youth activities reveals clearly
the need for thought about tomor
row, lest we should develop a habit
of receiving outside aid, and lose
this virtue of self-dependence.

J. W. Williams
James Wesley Williams, Dean of
Men, Assistant Football Coach, A. B.,
was born December 23, 1908, about
fifteen miles from Brevard Campus.
J. W. is the first and only son of Rev.
and Mrs. J. W. Williams. Being a “P.
K.” he received his grammar and high
school education at various and sundry
points in Western North Carolina and
received his diploma from Reynolds
High in Winston-Sak-m in 1925. In
the fall after his graduation he entered
Duke University, where he majored in
history and wrestling. While at Duke
he was pledged to Chi Tan, played
tackle with the scrubs, conditioned in
English Literature, was first string
wrestler in junior and senior years, and
received his A. B. degree in 1929.
(Duke won Southern Conference wrest
ling both those years.) After gradu
ation lie accepted a position as ship
ping clerk of a candy company in
Tennessee, worked a while, and decid
ed he nt'Rded more education. He en
tered Georgia Tech. in ’31 and left
there with a B. S. in (-ivil Engineering.
He worked sbme months with a con-
r ction company in Kentucky for ex
perience and left it in the fall of ’32 to
fill a temporary vacancy in the Math
department of Weaver College. He
left Weaver and went hack to engin-
■ ering f'U' four months, then again
joined Weaver’s faculty as Dean of
Men and instructor in Math. He at-
undrtd U. N. C. the summer of 1934;
joined the staff of Brevard College in
Ihe fall of 1934; likes to read, smoke
a piper try tobacco mixtures, and dis
cuss current events. ■ His favorite poem
is Henrick’s ‘'Upon .Fuliia’s Clothes.
He plans to let Civil Engineering go
to, get his Ph. D., and make education
his life work.
It is a natural and normal desire
for every individual to want happi
ness. But happiness must radiate
from within the individual.
Let us overlook the faults in others,
remembering that we have some,
possibly even more irritating to
others.
The only true happiness is deriv
ed from making others happier by
our help and words cheerful hope.
We have but one short, short life
to live. Let’s make it a great deal
more useful by administering _
boost instead of a kick, a smile in
stead of a sneer, and see how much
more true enjoym*ent we can get
out of lifs. .
It’s worth trying'.
