©itortal fag? PAGE TWO THE CLARION May 4, 1968 ECU Launches Art Program FAREWELL, BREVARD COLLEGE! Many things have made our two yeal-s here at Brevard College a memorable experience. We en tered as frightened freshmen, unknowing and afraid to face life on our own. But, with the help of friend ly students, faculty and administration, we touna our way around and soon became a large part ot tne college community. We enjoyed the dancers the first week of school, but when the time came tor studying we were a little more reluctant. Initiation time came around, and we joined one of the societies, going through the harrassmg of the upperclassmen and the annual battle of the mu . Christmas brought a welcomed break, and coming back to school we faced our first semester exams. We Studied, despite certain unusual happenings, ana niost of us were around for the second , Spring was wonderftil — aird we found that this was truly Brevard. Stuents on front campus, wklking hand-in-hand, hikes and 'picnics to the for est, the cables, the Spring dance with the Dritters, and the beauty that is spring captured us all. H^xam time came all too quickly, and soon we were leaving only to meet again in the fall. . Homecoming meant so much more to us. oeeing all our old friends, but we also were sad because we realized that next year we would be the returning alumni. Even initiation was more fun as we became the harrassers. Soccer and Basketball season found us all cheering hard for our Tornadoes and we all shared the pride of the Roadrunners as they ranked second in the nation. Christmas came and during the holiday season, we prepared for exams. Returning to Brevard in January for our last semester, we were greeted with a beautiful snowfall. We went sledding at Ross Hall and Camp Straus and even survived the bruises long enough to get in a little studying, along with attending the weekly re quired assemblies. But we made it, and now spring is here again. But this time it is different. We are a little more serious now and are a little more aware. Soon we will each journey into a different world, perhaps never to meet again. We have gained much here at Brevard, things we shall never forget. We owe so much to everyone and cannot say thank you well enough. The friends we have made have meant so much, the teachers and deans have been so helpful. As we look back now we cherish each memory and wish that we did not have to say good - bye. But now the time has come. The fleeting min utes on the clock cannot be halted. Soon we will be together for the last time, as we walk down the aisle to the solemn graduation march. Perhaps a tear will gleam in some eyes as we are declared graduates. For then it will be all over, and there will be no turn ing back. But as we leave there will always be the urge to “haste ye back to the highlands” and back to the place we have learned to love.

Middleton, DCE dean,' said the Dare program “provides an opportunity for all eligible individuals to attend university courses while in the Dare County area during the summer. We hope to help thfe residents of Eastern North Car olina with their plans for con tinuing and broadening their general education. This program is particularly designed for those who find it impossible to attend East Carolina Universi ty as a regular day student on the campus at Greenville.” He added, “We expect a sub stantial number of teachers to earn credit toward renewal of teaching certificates through these courses this summer.” The first summer’s program, to be coordinated by BOU’s new ly - appointed Dare County di rector, William C.

Currently, the university is conducting a $50,000 study of its proposed operation on Roa noke Island with funds from the Economic Development Admin istration.

Further information about the Dare County program is available from the DCE offices at the University, located in Er win Hall (P. 0. Box 2727, Phone 758-3426, Extension 327, Greenville 27834). TRIBUTE TO A GREAT TEAM For years teams like the New York Yankees ia baseball, the Green Bay Packers in football, the Bos ton Celtics in basketball, the Australians in tennis, the Brazilians in soccer, and the Canadians in ice- hockey have dominated their sports on the national and international level. These teamfe and countries established dynasties along with requtations of in. vincibilities. They have formed in themselves an air of pride, confidence, and greatness. EVen mediocre players upon joining the teams miraculeously trans form into greater players by the spirit, the atmos phere, and the magic charms of these teams. The idea of belonging to greatness, belonging to the best, is enough reward for greater performance. Opposing teams try desperately year after year to crack, to weaken these great teams, and attempt, but in vain, ot break their monoply on the championships. They may come close, but in the important games, the games that count, they fall victims again to ^bt- hess.

At Brevard Coliegre, in the intramural pro^am, a great teaifh has '^nierg'ed. For the fourth year fn a row GREEN BASEMEJNT has won the Intramural ' dynasty of its own. Every year the other teams of the intramural league havfe tried to dethrone th« Championship. Green Basement has developed in to a power-house in sports and has established a Basement team from Green Hall, and every year the champions seemed to meet the challeng-e even strang er. 1967 - 68 has been a peak year for Green Base ment. It has won the championships in all four team sports, football, basketball, volleyball, and softball, the first time a team has accomipished this in the history of the intramural program. In addition to that, ' Green Basement captured the titles in table- tennis and badminton. It has won six out of nine championships in sports this year, — again, an un precedent achievement. In the three other events the team finished second in cross - country, fourth in the swimming meet, and third in the track meet. To top everything. Green Basement has accumulated a record total of 828 intramural points, leading its closest rival this year. Beam III & Day, by 119 points, which is also a record. This has indeed been a great year for Green Basement and one can safely add that the 1967 - 1968 Green Basement team is the great est in the history of the intramural program. The New York Yankees in their prime had its Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Elston Howard, Bobby Richardson; the Green Bay Packers its Bart Starr, Jim Taylor, Paul Horhung, Max MaGee; the Boston Celtics its Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, Sam Jones; tne Australians their Roy Emerson, Ken Roswall, Ked Laver; the Brazilians their Pele, Grarincha and La- mese. The Green Basement team also had its out standing stars without whom it could never nave won the intramural champions. Sophomores Tommy Jordan, Buck Green, Bill Hyland, Dave Fussell, Ted Harvey, Paul Hendrick, Jerry Page and Bob played for the winning team last year, and establis - ed the backbone of this year’s championship team. These boys worked to recruit outstanding players from other teams of last year and brought down o the cellar players as Fred Neeson fro^m Green > Drew Baron from Green II, and Francis Dolbbs iro Green III. Then Green Basement was fortunate enough to get the chance to hondo house ^cn ou standing Freshman athletes as Jimmy Bill Broome, Ronnie Vance, Bruce Stuart, Jim JV Combs, Larry Mellot, Jimmy Thomas, Larp^ and Allen Middleton, Jim Ward and Dennis . thy. With that much potential the dynasty , j. possibly falter. Yes, Green, Basement had the , this year for a great team. And yet, most ant of all and perhaps the chief reason . j yp Basement’s great success, was its team spirit, iii"e by its pride, its confidence, it deire to win, an ambition to be great. Losing became a when the chips were down the team rose to gr ness to attain final victory. Green Basement is losing many of its athletes and whether it will capture the trophy again next year depends a great deal o recruitment and above all, the continuation Green Basemient sipirit. This writing is a triDU a great team, an acknowledgement of a team^ perb effort, and compliments to the athletes ° . qg, great team. Congratulations — GREEN MENT.
