It’s Good For Fallen Arches!:
Students At Brevard College Go
On Hikes; Consider It Much Fun
Mrs. Bramlett Is
Speaker To Schools
“The teacher of art should be
careful to see that the work of
every student is properly mounted
and displayed,” Mrs. A. L. Bram-
letf of the Brevard College Art
department told the Transylvania
Classroom Teachers meeting re
cently at Rosman.
Proper mounting encourages the
weaker student by showing even
the poorer work to good advantage.
In illustrating this fact, the Bre
vard college artist showed the
pleasing effects achieved by mount
ing randomly chosen color pat
terns made accidentally by her own
students as they tested their color
brushes on odd bits of paper.
Often, the teacher must solve
the problem of supporting an art
program on insufficient funds. For
Transylvania teachers who might
be in this situation Mrs. Bramleti
li-sted a number of inexpensive pro
jects.
In illustration the Brevard
teacher displayed designs and pic
tures which she and her students
had mad 3 by pasting into a sketch
ed outline, cuttings from the light
and dark printed portions of a
newspaper.
Another study was a floral piece
done by gluing to a suitable base
appropriately shaped bits of paper
cut from the highly colored ad
vertising pages of a popular maga
zine.
The clever student, Mrs. Bram
lett showed, can achieve truly ar
tistic designs with equipment no
more elaborate than glue and
scraps of paper.
“Let’s go on a hike” is almost
as familiar at Brevard college as
“let’s go to English,” or “let’s go
to trig.” Needless to say. Most
Brevard students are more anxious
to accept the invitation to go hik
ing than to accompany someone to
class.
And so it goes on! Hiking, one
of the major activities at Bre
vard, continues to thrive as a
major fun. The scenic beauty
“here about” seems to offer an at
traction unexcelled by other ac
tivities. Nature in all her glory
beckons to Bill and Joan Freshman
and Jack and Hope Sophomore.
It’s unique pattern of fun that’s
hard to describe.
WHERE DO THEY GO?
Some 15 or 20 nature spots—
all within a convenient radius of
Dunham Hall — offer a stimulis
to possessors of blue jeans and
loafers who like to take a mountain
stroll. Wonderful Pisgah National
forest seems to attract many pic
nic parties. With Pink Beds as
“national headquarters” for Bre
vard picnic excursions, moun
taineers from Brevard cover the
hills of Pisgah. At Pink Beds are
located cooking shelters with fire
places — a heaven for tired, cold
hikers.
On the other hand (and in
another direction), Transylvania
music camp, summer music capi
tal of the south, and home of the
famous Brevard Music Festival,
lures many groups of chaperoned
hikers to enjoy the beauties it of
fers.
Looking Glass Falls mirrors
the faces of many students as they
wearily reach its source. The long
plunge and fine spray of this falls
make an unforgettable sight.
Then, again, for those who have
been around the world three times
and have seen most all the “com
mon to us peasants” sites, there
is the more-hidden group of places
to trek to, such as Connestee Falls
or White Pines with its picnic
shelters.
Not to be forgotten is David
son River with its cold current for
I bathers. Many groups of college
i fellows spend happy hours swim-
1 niing in Davidson.
WHO GOES?
Another good question for the
non-hiker would be “who goes?
“Every one but you, you stinker”
would probably be the answer
from a hiking enthusiast. Almost
all the members of Brevard en
joy hiking no end. Hikers as usual
ly paired off into boy-girl groups
An accepted standard number of
hikers is 11; five couples and one
