On Wednesday evening the annual ban- ciuet was held. This meeting con cluded with a business session Thursday. The Dean is now visiting his brother at Fort Myers, Florida. In order that the Board of Trus tees may have sufficient time to select a new president for the col- lese, an interim administrative committee has been formed.

Liven- good attended the convention of the National Association of Music Schools in Cincinnati, Ohio. The purpose of this convention was to discuss the educational program in terms of music. According to Mr. Livengood, head of the college music department, it is hoped that Brevard will become a member of this organization. To this end, the music department will submit to an examination in Jan uary. This examination will cover the way in which records are kept and how the student program is handled. Only a limited number of schools will .be admitted. Mr. Livengood also stated that it was found that the national aver age amount spent on each music student was thirty-ithree dollars and that for the last two years, Brevard college has spent an amount high er than this average.

The Euterpean-sponsored dance was held in the college cafeteria on th( night of November 18 and with all the fiendish glee of a Mar- ryin’ Sam the Euterpeans plied the boys with the tempting aroma of coffee and doughnuts. Meanwhile, the Eutei’pean cash register rang merrily as “the woman is requested to pay.” PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Kearn’s Grocery Open Sundays and Evenings BEST QUALITY FOOD At LOWEST PRICES # Western Steaks 9 Tasty Lunches • Complete Dinners GALLOWAY’S CAFE PETE BIKAS AND SON, Owners and Managers ALUMNI NOTES.
