What h Your Ideal?
Brevard College holds the character of its students
in high esteem, taking pride in the faith, honor, and
trust of eiach and every one. We know of her fine
record over the past yeairts in this respect. We know
^e wiil ftot fail at this point.
But whiat is the ideal of each of her students? Do
we regard the high standards of the college? Are we
doing all we can to be worthy of the faith, honor, and
tnist the college places in us? Or are we careless, sel
fish, even dishonest at times to ourselves and to our
fellow students ?
Let us think of every area, every moment of our
waking hours. Are we spending our time wisely? Are
we honest, straightforward, responsible people? Are
we building a character we can be proud of at the
present and later in life? Or are we good only as
long as other people are watching us? Do we take care
of other people’s property as if it were our own,
seeing that it is protected and left where it belongs?
If not, stop and think a moment. How Would you feel?
Put yourself in the place of the one you wronged.
Think! What is Your Ideal ?

Poetry
Corner
the beggar
By Sara Whitmire
It might seem to some readers that an editorial con
cerning the support of the basketball team is jumping
ahead of the season a bit, but now is the time that
interest should start so it will be in full force by the
first tof Decemiber.
The basketball team hais been practicing for ap
proximately la month; beginning this weekend they
win play several scrimmage games with other schools.
‘!E%en during the Thanksgiving holidays, the regular
. jseason will begin with the Junior College Classic
Tournament to be played at the Brevard High School.
The first game in the College gym is to be held Thurs
day, December 1.
Brevard College students, with all the spirit they
habitually show in such matters, sihould start finding
ottt now (if not already known) who the players are,
how practices are going, what the prospects are fbr a
good season, and anything and everything else they j
are able to leam.
The CLARION spoi’ts page is one place to get such
information, and by asking a few questions and keep
ing wide awake, a student can leam enough to antici-
the thrilling season ahead.
'Hie spirit last year, especially at certain times, was
wonderful. It can and sihould be much better this year.
A basketball team like ours is something to be proud
of. We should give it our whole-hearted support by
being interested, attending all the games we can, and
following its progresis closely.
Besides thte advantage to the spectator in being so
Interested in the team, the team gets the spirit. Ask
some of the players — see if they don’t agree that with
all the students (faculty and administration too) be
hind them they care more about playing.
Let the spirit be high and good as we get behind
our team almost at the start of the 1960-61 basketball
season.

The CLARION staff would like to take a few mo

and the small-town weekly, to present, for your in-

I passed by the house one day,
and she sat 'there, the Imotlheir,
on the steps
Oradlinig a dhild in her arms,
Her laughter, pure and unA-
tilled 'by troulble
Rang out upom the autumn air,
A illciaf, gold land pink, floaited
down
As if by fairy 'Strings
Into her hair,
and with lauiglhing eyes, and a
hand gracefull aind wihdttJet,
She 'brushed 'it away and beigam
ito sing
With crooning voice to tlhe cMd
And 1 left her, Weir lullaby to tlhe
child
Following me with faint edhos
up tihe street.
Autumn passed and I walked
again, one diay, by the house.
The windows wtelre 'black and un-
'lit.
Thtcl porch, an agiog remnant
of its former self,
And on the porch, I saw a hud-
dule of brown leaves,
Not the pink and 'gold one, deli
cate las wisib of spun >lig!hit,
But brown and dead.
I walked away, lisitening to an
echo in my m'ind,
Of 'laughter and soothing luU-
'aby.
Sung to a child of long ago.
