THE CLARION THE VOICE Of BREVARD COLLEGE STUDEyTS Volume XXXVIII BREVARD COLLEGE, BREVARD, N. C., DECEMBER 4, 1970 0 w 4: ‘I . ''V -; =?;r':' >,- . :'s » Number 11 Professor Charles R. Adams Named Outstanding Personality BREVARD’S BETSY ROSS, Mrs. Mabel Alderman, is pictured aboye right, 'presenting the beautiful Bre vard College flag that she made to Dean Grady H. Whicker, left, of the college’s administrative staff. Mrs. Alderman hand-cut, pieced and sewed the flag herself, working into the wee hours of Thursday Novem ber 19 to have it ready for the color presentation at the big Tip-Off Basketball Tournament at the Col lege that night. Her efforts were not in vain, as her hard work was re warded with a resounding Brevard victory over Hudson Valley, New York in the opening round of the tournament. College's Modern Betsy Ross Makes Flag For Big Ceremony There was a Colors Pre sentation ceremony at the Tip ■ Off Basketball Tourna ment in Brevard College’s Boshamer Gymnasium Thurs., Nov. 19. It was very impres sive — a new ceremony for the college if not necessarily a new idea for such occasions. In the ceremony, a Brevard College Flag joined the North Carolina State and the Nation al emblems in patriotic pre sentation to school, state and country before the beginning of the tournament. There was nothing particularly unusual about this. The noteworthy thing is the story behind that neat, professionally - manufac tured looking B .0. flag and the “do it” philosophy of the lady who made it. Flag Story The story begins with Br«- vard Coach “Chick” Martin asking Jimnue Alderman. Manager of the College Book store and Reserve Air Force Master Sergeant, to organize a Color Guard and Colors PresentatiM ceremony for the Tip -Off Tournament. Mr. Alderman soon found that while the N. C. State Flag ® the proper size was available, having been procured by Bre vard’s State House Represen tative, Charles Taylor; and an ^erican flag was on hand, having been presented by the Brevard veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 4309; there was no Brevard College flag in the required 3 by 5 foot size any where to be had. And time would not allow having one manufactured. As husbands have done since time immemorial, Jim mie Alderman talked his problem over with his wife, Mrs. Mabel Alderman, As sistant Director of Adminis tration at the College. Modern Betsy Ross Mrs. Alderman is a believer in the “do it” philosophy of things. “If something needs to be done, do it!” she says. So she made a flag. Sounds easy? Well, it’s not. And you’d better not try it unless you’re pretty handy with needle and scissors as was the legendary Betsy Ross of Revolutionary War days. But Mrs. Alderman is handy with needle and scissors, and she has a lot of creative imag ination too. She bought a piece of Roy al Blue material for the field; she found a piece of white material for the shield ^in her sewing box. The material for the red Botonee Cross was in her daughter Jo Ann’s Christmas dress of last year. She had the scroll, of gold- bordered white with gold let tering, manufactured. She worked until 1; a.m. of the morning of the ceremony to have the flag ready fw the —Turn to Page Three Mr. Charles Robert Adams, Assistant Professor of Biology at Brevard College, has been selected to appear in the 1970 edition of PERSONALITIES OF THE SOUTH.

We see how fast things have chang ed, and all the new friends we have made as well as the old ones we have lost. I sat back for a minute the other day and reflected upon the situation. An article I read last year in the Clarion came to mind, and I wanted to leave it with you. But think about something when you say, “See you next semester.” Think about it! Be cause you may never see them again. That boy in math may mS!Staew Christmas Season On Campus so well may just fade away pd “what?v\'? hSpened to“ Jq Officiallv Begin Tonight You’ll never know; people are / ^ lost just like time; and when you wish they were around; it’s too late. Just be glad nothing can take your memories; it’s the only thing that lasts for ever. Rev. Nelson Adams Represents Brevard In New Orleans Brevard College was repre sented at the Forty .
