Peggy Laughlin, a sophomore
from Marion, began her college
days in a very upsetting way—on
her first day as a college fresh
man, she slipped and fell on the
library steps. “It was one of the
most embarrassing moments of my
life,” this smiling lass of Scotch-
Irish descent declared.
Peggy did not let this embarras
sing accident faze her, however.
She, attributes, this self-possession
to her sense of humor, which she
believes is her most valuable trait.
Other valuable personality traits
that she possesses are her lack of
stage fright and her sunny dis
position upon arising. She cannot
account for the fact that she feels
fine when she awakens, but much
amiteur experience in dramatics is
probably the reason that she feels
no stage fright. This experience
makes her a valuable member of
the college dramatics club.
Peggy’s election as president of
the Mnemosynean society was
quite appropriate, since she likes
to read and is well acquainted
with literature. She likes histor
ical novels, in particular those
written by Inglis Fletcher. She also
likes poetry, her favorite poet be-
in? Robert Frost.
Joyce Brand, graduate of Bre
vard college and recent assistant
librarian, was married today in
Miami to Lewis Compton, of Bre

Dr. McLarty, a graduate of Duke
university, and past naval chaplain,
is additionally a member of the
board of trustees of the college,
and secretary of the executive
board. He spoke on “The Common
Man.”
“Nothing is common or ordinary
when it is dedicated to the highest*
when it is put to the test, or when
it is at the hand of the Master,”
the Western North Carolina confer
ence minister told the students. He
explained this statement and de
veloped the topic by illustrating the
“common” peanut in the hand of
Carver, the “common” apple in the
Iiand of Newton.
