STUDENT OF
THE WEEK
Life Among The Natives
li.
Good-looking, friendly, and
versatile is our student of the
week, Mr. David Ellerbe from
Lakeland, Florida.
David attended Lakeland High
School where he played four
years of football, two years of
basketball, and was on the track
team for three years. He was
also a member of tthe Letter
men’s Club and was chosen pres
ident of his school’s chapter of
the Honor Crusade. In the capac
ity of President of this society,
David campaigned to encourage
the honor system for the stu
dents through parents by way of
the PTA and other media. His
goal was to make the parents
aware that pushing their chil
dren to make good grades was
one of the causes of cheating.
His interest and work on this
project was recognized when he
was selected to meet with the
heads of education of Florida in
a panel discussion.

Dcn’t forget FRIDAY AT
FOUR! This afternoon Miss Joan
Moser will give a program on
SOUNDS FROM THE LAND OF
THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
Miss Moser was a Fulbright
student in Norway for a year’s
study of that country’s folk
music. In Norway, she was sent
throughout the country by the
American Embassy to entertain
with a program of American folk
songs. She was booked to sing
over both the Swedish and Nor
wegian radio systems.
While at the University of
North Carolina, where she re
ceived her Master’s degree in
-Music History, Miss Moser pre
pared a series of television pro
grams on Southern folk songs,
filmed for the National Educa
tional Television Foundation.
At Brevard, Miss Moser con
ducts the college ensemble,
teaches Sight Singing and Ear
Training, and is an instructor
in wood winds, guitar and piano.
Aided Students'
Thoughtfulness
Is Appreciated
Students who have written
letters of appreciation to per
sons making financial assistance
possible deserve a special word
of commendation. I have re
ceived more favorable com-
menU this year from donors to
student aid funds who have re
ceived these letters than ev^
before. These expressions ot
gratitude cn your part have be
come cherished keep-sakes for
several of these benefactors. I
am grateful to each of you who
has written.
Below is one example of these
letters which the college has
received. , ,

Brevard College
Brevard, North Carolina
David comes from a large fam
ily, six children in all. He is
very appreciative of all the ad
vantages which he feels go
along with a family of this size.
He believes that a close family
relationship, especially when
many different personalities
are involved, helps one to be
able to get along more success
fully with people and to under
stand them more fully. i
As may be surmised by his
high school participation in the
area, David lists sports as his
first and foremost love. This
is because, as he says, “I get
out of sports exactly as much
as I put into them”. This affec
tion is followed immediately by
a love for horses.
It’s coming. Despite the cold I
winds and the intermittent snow-!
falls, we know it’s coming. It
won’t be official for some weeks
yet, but Brevard Tech students
can sense it. SPRING!!. It will
mark the end of a long, hard
winter. (As far as school is
concerned, it will mean the be
ginning of a long, hard spring!)
But with it will come many
things. Trips to Pisgah, fun,
trips to Pisgah, picnics, trips to
Pisgah, graduation (for the for
tunate) and probably a few
trips to Pisgah, too! I, for one,
can’t wait! Spring also means a
one-week break beginning on
the 27th. The college will be
almost deserted that week, but
it’s a cinch that the beaches of
North and South Carolina and
the east coast of Florida won’t.
A due number of Brevardiers
will join the annual riot week
at Lauderdale and Daytona, I’m
siure. Many of them will return
with a lot of happy memories.
And then there will be those
who won’t remember a thing...
Taylor Hall has a hall proc
tor who is quite nosey. Or may
be he’s just generous. Since
that one little can of beer wasn’t
quite enough to go around, he
decided to turn it in to Dean
Robert. Poor John. That really
broke his little heart.
Mrs. Daye has expressed some
surprise that her modern dance
class hasn’t been mentioned in
this coluirji. According to her,
the class consists of the biggest
bunch of spazes on campus. The
truth of the matter is that I
didn’t want to say anything for
fear of angering some of the
girls. They really do TRY to
master the complicities of mod
ern dance, Mrs. Daye. Just give
them time. Like a few more
years, maybe?
Some sophomores got a nice
surprise on Sunday when one
of our number showed up for
a visit cn campus. Sy Stelter
shocked more than one person
when he popped up, unannounc
ed.
Have you heard about the
greatest new combo in the
south? (NO, not the Echoes.
They’re not new; just the great
est!) This one’s going under
the name of “SUm & the Four
Trims.” In case the “Slim”
sounds a little familiar to you,
it should. It’s none other than
“Slim” Leslie, who brightened
the Brevard Campus last year.
We understand that they’re
great. Could be that we’ll have
a chance to hear them some
time ...
That’s about it for this issue.
See you around in two weeks.

This is a series of great musi

Dear Miss Montgomery,

David’s education is being

It is clear that the high ideals
