Miss Craig, Mr. McNeer Congratulations to the Students and the Orchestra Congratulations to the students for the splendid way in which they answer ed when the orchestra asked for help in obtaining a new instrument that they needed. Such a spirit of cooperation is indeed woithy of commendation. But the orchestra is made up of a group of deserving boys. As most of you know, these boys formed the orchestra last year so that they might continue their work in music. They have never refused to help with any program on which they have been asked to serve. Many times they have enter tained at chapel, socials, society meet ings, and various other occasions. They have had to carry out this work under great handicaps, never accepting money for their services except when they play ed for dances away from here; and then the money was used to buy new music. We are sure that the orchestra appreci ates this little token of appreciation and that they will use it to the best advan tage. Again may we say, “Congratula tions, students. If the college continues to get more and more finicky, pretty soon an amateur won’t be able to make a decent living in any sport. The Joy of Being an Editor Getting out this little paper is no pic nic: if we print jokes, people say we are silly; if we don’t, they say we are too ser ious; if we clip things from other papers, we are too lazy to write them ourselves; if we don’t, we are too fond of our own stuff; if we don’t print contributions, we don’t appreciate true genius; if we do print them, the paper is filled with junk; if we make a change in the other person’s write-up, we are too critical; if we don’t we are asleep. Now, like as not, some one will say we swiped this from some magazine. We did. Five Questions How many can you answer? 1. What preposition in the English Language is used most often? 2. What state has the largest negro population? 3. What nationalities are denied en trance to the United States as immi grants? 4. Who was the “Father of the Con stitution? 5. What state has the lowest per centage of illiterates? Ambitions and Sup pressed Desires Mary Helen: “I want to swing on chandeliers.” Swaringen: “I’m very fond of snow cream. In fact, I could eat my way through a whole block of it.” Virginia Hunter: “I’ve always won dered what it would be like to spend a night in jail.” Jim Crouse: “To be a window wash er for the Woolworth Building.” Miss Smith: “I want a one room house and a straw bed, because I nev er liked to clean up.” Earl Pearson: “I wantito be a hobo and ride freight trains.” Bob Reinhardt; “To be the champ ion street sweeper.” Ruth Dare: “I’d like to swing on the bar from third to second floor steps.” Frances Sawyer: “To take Miss Hayes snipe hunting.” Susie: “I’ve always wanted to walk on the ceiling.” Faculty Sketches By John HoyU Dean Wallace Colvard Dean Wallace Colvard, B.S., was born in the “Grassy Creek” community of Ashe County and has loved nature ever since. Dean attended Virginia-Carolina High School located near his home on the Virginia-North Carolina line. Played center-field on the high school team. The pitcher’s mound was in Virginia and the home-plate was in North Carolina. Graduating from high school in 1930, Wallace entered Berea College. He play ed base ball for Berea his first two years and in his senior year was business man ager of the college paper and president of the Agriculture Club. Mr. Colvard received his B. S. in Agriculture in the spring of ’35 and came immediately to Brevard. In his work here he teaches agriculture, is supervisor of student la bor, supervisor of the college farm, and is Dairy Inspector for the City of Bre vard. He has worked with cows all his life, but he eats steak with a clear con science. Mr. Colvard reads all agriculture mag azines available, and also finds the Nat ional Geographic Readers Digest, and Literary Digest very interesting. Hurrah For the Girls The girls are to be commended for the leap year party at which the boys were guests last Saturday night. Just one year out of four the girls have a chance to have the boys’ prerogative of asking such favors of boys without being thought different. Truly, this leap-year affair is a fad, but, whatever you call it, the girls did an excellent job of it with their party. They showed the boys, in the short time since January 1, how to handle an affair (that the boys have not even attempt ed) in a most successful way. Social functions, of this nature here, should be increased-and boys—it’s our turn next! At Harvard Law School, Professor Thomas Reed Powell, topflight authority on Constitutional law, was asked whether he would take the Massachusetts teach ers’ oath to support the Constitution. Replied he: "Certainly I’ll support the Constitution. The Constitution has supported me for twenty yerrs.”
