One of the first questions a person asks about a school is “What are its traditions?” I am aware that Brevard College is still young, but I ask you “What are its traditions? What is its literary standing? What are the fore most desires of the students in extra curricular activities?” Perhaps you are already attempting to think of a few traditions it has al ready formed in athletics and are at tempting to give excuses concerning the few in the literary field. But i that question is unfair, I might ask, “What will be Brevard’s traditions five, eight, ten years from now?” Whatever these traditions will be, they have already started or should be started NOW! Truly conditions here will alter as the pace changes else where, but traditions will remain for ever. At present Brevard students hole the playing of the leading footbal game of the season, with the oppo nent known to all, as its main tradi tion in athletics. The literary socities were carried over from Weaver anc are traditions. Certain clubs are tra ditional; the student council is tradi tional; but, outside of these, what can you name? Ten years from now every student would like to receive a monthly alumni julletin of Brevard College. We should ike to know that every spring there will be a deputation representing Bre vard College in the high school of our home town. We should like to know that there is a home-coming day, at which time we can come back and meet again. We should like to receive a weekly or semi-weekly paper printed by the journalism department of the school. Truly, we should be grateful to know that an honor system was loved and raspscted by the students. We shall want to be satisfied that Bj*e- vard is still encouraging religious ac tivities. These and many other tradi tions we should like to be in domi nance at Brevard ten years from now. But will our longing be fulfilled? If so, NOW is the time to start. The Clakion staff challenges the four lit erary societies and the clubs to begin work immediately in building up the literary activities of Brevard College. Literary Societies For What? If Brevard College is going to have societies and call them literary socie ties, why not make them live up to their name? We have four so-called literary societies functioning in our college, and practically every member of the student body belongs to one of them. They offer an excellent oppor tunity to introduce the college boy and girl to the higher arts by presenting those arts in programs which are in teresting to the members of the socie ties. There is a chance for each indi vidual to display his interests and to participate in programs centering a- roud those interests. Our present literary societies are to many simply a place to go on certain nights of the week. The programs are entertaining but certainly not lit erary enough. An orchestra playing popular music is not a literary pro gram, and neither is a series of hu morous readings. The founders of our societies intended for them to be uplifting as well as interesting. We should take them more seriously, for after all they are literary societies. Gi})bs: “What did Juliet say when she met Romeo in the balcony?” Esther: “Couldn’t you find seats in the orchestra?” Be Yourself Mrs. Milner is certainly held in high esteem by our students, and she is very worthy of our respect and grati tude. Everyone seems to have felt that she has helped each of us in her splendid talks and conferences. She seemed to know the very things we were inerested in, and answered a great many of the questions that were in our minds even before we . could frame them in words. I believe that one of the most help ful suggestions she gave was “Be your self ” There is no greater charm one can possess than to be conservatively original, independent, and thoroughly one’s self. There are surely no two personalities just alike, and anyone who imitates someone els 3 is very likely to make a miserable failure of the un dertaking and to appear as an idiot. Every one has a great many good points among his characteristics, and these are the ones to be developed and accentuated, not those of some one else.
