DECEMBER 18, 1964 u THE CLARION Qaa-2),uu,” WeQ, (^roivned C^Lristmad Q. PAGE THRES aw Long brown hair, dark, darki blue eyes, and a very original^ outlook — these are part of a I phenomenon which goes by the| name of Susan Mary Megraw.' Sue ,the 1964 Christmas Queen, is from Lansdowne, Penn. She is also one of the most individ ualistic girls on campus. Sue’s numerous interests in clude drawing, painting, read ing, playing the violin, music (classical and jazz), horseback riding, swimming, tennis, and hiking (she’s President of the Mountaineers Club). To the above list might also be added one Pete Winther. Asked if there were any things she actively disliked, the Chrisitmas Queen slowly naimed ‘pseudo-sophistication, narrow minded cliques, triteness, and vicious cuts.” How did she feel about being named Queen? Sue answered, “I think that I was the most surprised queen there ever was; I couldn’t believe it was me. Why was I so lucky, and why couldn’t Pete be there? I wish ed that all of the girls could ueen have been up there with me.” Sue’s personal heroes are Pete Winther and Stradavarius. The three qualities which she considers as being the most at tractive in a man are honesty, sincerity, and adaptability. Her plans for the future in clude marriage (“in all capital letters”) to the afore-mention ed Pete Winther and the con tinuing of her education. What is her future husband like? Well, “He works for United Air lines. He called me from Los Angeles at about 2:30 a.m. Friday night to wish me luck; we were having a seance in the hall.” And that was all she would say. It is rumored that when Sue is very happy, she gives away cigarettes, practically forcing them on people; she wants ev erybody else to be happy too. Beauty is many things. It is lovely features, a blue-eyed glow, a gentle simile with a half- shy twist to it; but, more than anything else, beauty is kind ness which is an integral part of a person. Susan Mary Me graw is a beautiful girl. Student of the Week DENNIS HOUSTON Chosen for the student of the week this issue is Dennis Mel vin Houston, a nineteen-year-old freshman from Franklin, North Carolina. Dennis, who has spent all of his life in the western North Carolina town, had a busy high school career there. He lettered in three sports; basketball, football, and track. He served as captain of the basketball team during his senior year, and Was elected Vice-president of the student body during his junior year. Dennis managed to get two scholarships at Brevard, one a scholastic award from the col lege, and another for students who attend Brevard from Franklin. N. C. State is his goal after graduation from Brevard. En gineering is his major. As for his pastime, Dennis doesn’t have any particular fav orites. He’s “usually in on what ever happens to be going on at the minute.” He does like par ties, though, according to some of his friends from Franklin, who refer to his love of big “birthday parties.” Incidentally, one of his main problems is “having too many kids here from Franklin. It seems as if they tell on 1^™' Christmas holidays wiU be rather short for Dennis this year As a member of the Bre vard College Tornadoes, he will go to Binghamton, New York, for the Christmas Invitational Tournament. As for what ihe will do in the Mtle time that he does spend at home, well, Dennis has this to say, “I’ll probably spend most of the time looking for a date It shouldn’t be too difficult a job for Dennis.

Mrs. Harris Goes To Dinner-ln Texas! ■Mrs. Nell Harris, instructor of history and sociology, was a mystery guest at a dinner held December 19 honoring her brother. The Right Reverend John E. Hines, Bishop of the Diocese of Texas. Mr. Hines will be installed January 27 as the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church of the United States of America. He will be the youngest Presiding Bishop in the history of the church. Mrs. Harris was flown to Beaumont, Texas, to attend the dinner. The dinner was attend ed by 550 to 600 people of the Right Reverend Hines’ diocese. It was given by one of his churches. u j Mr. Hines was blindfolded and with musical clues by an orchestra and questions answer ed by Mrs. Harris, he tried, to identify her. He could not Mrs. Harris stayed until Mon day at her brother’s home in Houston, Texas. Then she was flown back to Brevard. C^uLa — cHouii imenez LOUIS JIMINEZ Louis Jiminez is a sophomore from Camaguey, Cuba. He is an only child and his parents now live in Long Island, New York. His father is an IBM operator there. Louis is president of the A1 pha Beta Gamma, chemistry honor society at Brevard. He is also secretary of Phi Theta Kappa, and is a Marshall. He works in the Spanish language lab, and belong to the Delphi an Society. Although Louis had a 2.5 academic average his freshman year, he says that this year is much harder than was his first year. A major in business and a minor in French are Louis’ plans now. He hasn’t definitely made up his mind where to at tend college next year, but UNO at Chapel Hill is his first choice. Louis, like many of our for eign students, heard of Brevard through a friend. He likes it here because of its small size, and because the racademic spec ifications satisfy him. oCi^e ^Le ^atiueA O/* .^nd ^iLeS Hi there! It seems entirely impossible that 3 weeks have somehow dlragged themselves by, and that it’s time for the Brevard- iers to take their leave of the college and head for home once agaiin. Nonetheless, it’s true. Within 24 hours this campus will be as deserted as White Sands during an H-bomb test. Students will be scattered in ev ery direction, in cars, buses, trains, and planes, all heading for home and a two-vreek’s breather. There’s going to be at least one car loaded with students who may not breathe, especial ly if Sandy Plain accompanies them and is allowed to drive. We understand he’s the terror of the New Jersey Turnpike, not to mention the fact that they might al wind up in jail if a cop ever stops them. Sandy has a voice that would frighten ainything, includang New Jersey troopers. The annual Euterp-Clio dance was successful this year, thanks to hard workers in both clubs who put quite a bit of time and energy into making it so. Sue Megraw seemed just a little sur- ipirised and happy at being crowned Christmas Queen. Dot Goedert wasn’t too worried about anything, except maneu vering those stairs with a long formail on. It seems that every- time Dot wears a formal and comes into contact with stairs, she trips. Nothing of the sort happened, thankfully. Miss Jarrell seemed to enjoy the Christmas dance. By now she’s probably had a number of requests to hold dancing class es. (Indiana U. definitely is a swingin’ school!). We have a couple of juicy cuts to throw in for good meas ure this week. One was handed me by a freshman girl and one by Dean Roberts. (Naturally, these items were clipped from other newspapers, but we think they apply to studenits at Bre vard Tech.) According to the girl (who is tioo modest to have her name printed), “If you don’t like the way the ball bounces, then don’t drop it”!’. Dean Roberts likes this one: “One thing about breaking a mirror — at least you know you’ve got seven more years.” I think that’s a hint ... or something. So lomg until next issue. Un til then, just remember that Santa’s holding his breath, wait ing for you to be good! It’s go ing to be a long wait, Santa! T.M.
