Lyceum Program Features
Expiorer-Ph otographer
Famed Currier And Ives
Lithographs To Be
Exhibited In Library
There will be an exhibit of Cur
rier and Ives prints and litho
graphs in the college library,
March 11-17. On Sunday, March 17,
the library will be open to the pub
lic strictly for the purpose of see
ing this collection. This ehibit is
being shown by Mr. Gil Coan,
whose insurance company has a
collection of about 20 framed
prints.
Lithography comes from the
word meaning, “writing on stone.”
Currier and Ives pictures their
own times with meticulous accur
acy of detail, without “artiness ,
£nd with no thought of appealing
to any but their own immediate
market. They gave the public pic
tures that were easy to understand
and appreciate, pictures that were
typically American.
Today the same prints that were
sold by the thousands for five to
twenty-five cents apiece are col
lectors’ items. They are eagerly
sought out in print shops and at
auctions and bring prices that
range all the way from a few dol
lars to the record three thousand
dollars paid for a large folio print
in 1928.
“To the mountain born” might j
well describe Norman G. Dyhren-
furth, noted explorer-mountaineer
and photographer who comes to
Brevard High auditorium on March
11 at 8:15 p. m. to show his spec
tacular color film “Solo Khumbu.”
This is another in a series of
Brevard College Lyceum programs
and the public is urged to attend.
By inheritance and inclination,
Mr. Dyhenfurth, a Swiss-born nat
uralized citizen, is cut out for
mountain climbing. His parents, Dr.
Dunter and Hettie Dyhrenfurth,
won the 1936 Olympic Gold Medal
for their climbing exploits in the
Himalayan range. On one of their
expeditions, his mother set a wo
man’s world mountain climbing
record — which she still holds—
by reaching the summit of Queen
Mary Peak, 24,000 feet up.
In 1952 Mr. Dyhrenfurth took a
leave of absence from his duties as
director of the Motion Picture Di
vision of the Department of Thea
tre Arts at the University of Cal
ifornia in Los Angeles, which he
headed since 1949, to join the Swiss
Everest Expedition. The only Am
erican member of the group, Mr.
Dyhrenfurth accompanied the sec
ond expedition in 1952 as official
photographer and mountaineer.
Mr. Dyhrenfurth fell in love with
Solo Khumba, the homeland of the
Sherpas, and resolved to lead an
expedition back there. Its purpose
I was to be manifold: mountaineer
ing, photography, cartography and
the production of several documen
tary films. His mountain goal was
Lhotse, 27,890 feet high and only
1112 feet below the crest of its
sister peak, Mount Everest, the
highest unsealed mountain then in
the world.
It took until the end of January
1955 before the long-awaited per-
I mission from Nepal was given. To
After finishing the regular sea
son with a conference record of 6-6,
the Tornadoes travelled to Spruce
Pine for the Conference Tourna
ment.
In the first game, the Brevard^
boys downed Asheville-Biltmore by
a score of 84-56. The next night
they found the going rough but
defeated Lees-McRae in an over
time 86-72 after trailing most of
the ball game. In the overtime, the
Tornadoes, led by Jim Ingle, scored'
16 points while Lees-McRae scored
only two. Ingle led the scoring that
right with 38 points.
Brevard lost to North Greenville
in the finals to end the tournament
in second place with two players on
the All-Tournament team.
Bruce Guy and Jim Ingle, the
team’s two leading scorers, were
selected for the All-Tournament
team. In the three games, Ingle
scored 87 points for an average of
29 and Guy scored 55 for an aver-
ige of 18.3.
North Greenville and Brevard
dominated the selections for the
‘dream team”. North Greenville
placed three players on the team
an d Brevard was represented by
two.
Pete Carlisle, of North Green
ville, was voted the most valuable
player in the tournament.

NORMAN G. DYHRENFURTH
find the necessary financial back-1
ing, select his team and complete- j
ly organize and equip his expedi
tion in a matter of a few weeks
was no small problem. Most people
said it couldn’t be done, since oth
er major Himalayan expeditions
have been prepared by large num
bers of people over many months
and years of hard work and detail
ed planning. And yet the doughty
and determined explorer succeed
ed in organizing the International
Himalayan Expedition 1955 in rec
ord time.
“Solo Khumbu,” his film record
of the attempted ascent, of the
homes and villages of the Sherpas
and of the lamaseries in the region
is unique in its thorough coverage
of a remote land and an exotic peo
ple, spectacular in its dazzling col
or and exciting in the suspense of
watching men battle nature’s fe
rocity against incredible odds.

photographic career on a film,

Dean Stevenson spoke to those who
attended abous Success. He com
pared success to a gem in that
both have an inner light and beau
ty and both have many facets. They
are both rare and are developed-
under pressure. All of us are made
of the same basic material so to
speak, yet diamonds and coal are
both composed of carbon. It is the
pressure that makes the difference.
A lapidary may cut a stone and'
have many beautiful facets for his
labor, but, if he leaves any imper
fect surfaces or ruins part of the
tone through a mistake, he has-
impaired the value of the dia
mond. So, says Dean Stevenson, a
successful person needs many well'
“polished” facets. Some of the fa
cets we need to polish are: mind,
personality, humility, patience,
growth, service, and self-discipline.
For an illustration about pressure
he recited the following poem by
