PAGE TWO THE CLARION SEPTEMBER 27, 1963 Doing What Comes Naturally There’s nothing to do! There does seem to be some basis for this lament heard quite often on camp us. But it is only sensible to say that this basis cannot be eliminated until some of the energy wasted in lamenting is turned into energy used in participation. When you were home, did you expect to be entertain ed all the time, or did you make your own fun. Let’s hope that when you left home you did not leave your social individuality behind. By social indi viduality I mean your own personal contributions to the social activities of your community. Most certain ly, you may need to adjust your fun somewhat, but surely you expected to make adjustments when you came to Brevard College. But you were not expected to leave your personality and your talents behind. The most natural thing in the world is for a person to have a good time being himself. Out of natural ness, comes that pleasant quality of feeling at home and having fun. If school spirit is ever to be manifested, it will be in doing what comes naturally. So why don’t we all stop kicking the ball around—jump on and keep it rolling instead. C. G. Now You Know By ROBIN LYNN MAY Someone once said, ‘Experience is the best teach er.” I fully concur—or almost fully. There are times when we learn better from the experiences of others. We sophomores, for instance, are here this year because we are either brilliant or lovable, or because we know we have to study. We know because we have already experienced just one “F” on a history test or because others have experienced just one “F” too many and are no longer here. We know. Most of you freshmen have probably come to school full of bright hopes, determined to study thor oughly, effectively, and well ahead of time. I know I did. I remember, too, that after the first week or so, school became the same old grind—classes day after day, homework night after night, I wasn’t inclined to remember my noble resolutions to keep well up on my studies. You freshmen will have to learn—but not neces sarily the hard way. Listen to the voice of bitter ex perience speaking. Think about it. What does it s^ to you? Now you know. We Salute Student Leaders On Friday, September 6, a special group of stu dents arrived on campus. These students were mem bers of the Student Workshop, who helped to plan and pave the way for the arrival of the freshmen. These sophomores gave up a portion of their vacation to organize student activities in order to make this year a pleasant and rewarding one—spir itually, academically, and socially. The Clarion salutes these student leaders. They did a fine job.

Wk at cjCieS VUitL in By JOY MAUGANS High in the land of mountain streams, far from the only known world of many, thrives a tiny city, full of scurrying feet, winding their ways to life. Down the oft-tread sidewalks which lead to learning, laughter and love, there pass many a smile, many a tear, many a hand in hand. Here in the land of foggy morn, the soul drinks in refresh ing, knowledge - filled water from deep in the springs of time; the heart leaps out of mind, soaring high into the ridge of fascination and wonder, accented in a streak of determi nation. Character grows surgingly on- ward-climbing, falling, climbing- until the body is endowed in high repute. The city is proud. Within the land stand build ings deemed invaluable by grate ful, loyal citizens. These hallow ed structures have taken years of use, abuse, care, and despair. They retain each warm tear ever cried within their walls, for this city, as every city, can hold a multitude of sorrows. They echo each bellow of laughter and ev ery shrieking giggle to resound through the halls forever. They are fields in which to sow the seeds of knowledge and reap the bounties of education. The —Turn to Page Four Jones Hall Buys Prize Painting The prize - winning picture from last year’s art class is a beautiful, oil still-life painted by Stanly Roper, a ’63 graduate of Brevard College. Each year, the winning pic ture is placed in one of the camp us buildings. Jones Hall was honored with the lovely paint ing of flowers; the girls of the hall decided to purchase the pic ture’s mate (still-life of a violin) and frames for the two;. Jones proudly displays her works of art in the parlor where girls and “guests,’* may enjoy their beauty.

And you’ve sat in re ligion ten minutes when you dis covered you were supposed to be in English? And when you were getting ready for class this morning you picked up your spray starch instead of hair spray? You say you were out on a big date, getting ready to pay for dinner and you found that some joker had put play - money in your wallet? And you were ask ed to what you thought was a formal dance and everyone else had on Bermuda shorts? And last week in chapel you joined in the singing and suddenly your voice changed? And you tried to fill your pen and the bottle of ink spilled all over your lap? You say you just gave some one a ten-dollar bill instead of a one? And your Chocolate bar melted on your biology lab pap er and now you have chocolate covered paramecium? You say that on your first —Turn to Page Three Students Sponsor Child Through the combined efforts of all the student organizations of Brevard College, a ten-year- old Korean lad can eat again. In the 1961-62 school term, the Student Government Association and the Methodist Student Fel lowship staged a unique pro gram for the sponsorship of a young child in a foreign coim- try. This was done through the “Save-a-Child” Federation and efforts of faculty members and students. Shares were sold at 50 cents each and a sum total of $200 was donated for the fund, making the project school- wide. Yung Hwan Yoon is a fifth grade pupil in primary school.

These have been earned at some forty different colleges and universities throughout the United States— and a few abroad. “Many rich learning deposits have been tapped,” Dean Ben nett reports, “in assembling the present faculty. Colleges andUn- iversiti^ from Alabama to Yale, alphabetically, and from Texas to New England and from Wiscon sin to northern Europe, geo graphically, are represented in the background of our faculty- These teachers, competently trained, and divergent in points of view, share in a common pur pose and understanding of the goals of Brevard College. We have a deserving student body and we believe the faculty can serve the student body well.”
