Last Goodbye
' Well you all this is our final issue of the year, ii brings
a few tears to my eyes when I realize that another whole
school year has gone by.
A lot of you will be leaving Brevard for the last time. I
suppose that we can all be happy in knowing that the
faces may change, but Sliding rock and the Swinging
Bridge will still be there.
I would like to add my good-byes to everyone else. At
this time I would also like to add a few special thanks for
a great year as editor. First, I would like to thank Mr.
Ken Chamlee for being a great advisor. I would also like
to thank all the staff members. Everyone knows that
without writers, a paper can’t exist. Lastly, I would
want to thank you all, the readers. Thank you for
reading us and I hope that we proved to be a publication
that serves some other purpose than just cleaning
windows.
Letter to the Editor in Chief April 13,1979
Clarion
IN DEFENSE OF MY FRIEND “MAUDE”
This is my rebuttal to the letter in the last Clarion
issue attacking my close and dear friend “Maude”
who is a kind, generous, courteous, classy lady.
I cannot image what might have transpired to
give the writer of the letter the impression that
Maude was grumpy, but in the event that she was,
let me present some possible reasons why.
To begin with, the writer assumed the price of a
hamburger and fries automatically assured
him/her courteous, considerate, smiles as dessert.
Not so! Consideration, kindness and courtesy
cannot be bought, it is usually returned when given.
I have seen these ladies get up to wait on
customers as many as six times while trying to
have one sandwich for lunch. So, lack of con
sideration on the part of some students may have
contributed to the alleged grumpiness of Maude.
So now that I have lectured you sufficiently and
defended my dear friend, let me challenge you. For
just one day, make everyone you meet respond to
you with kindness, politeness and consideration. It
can be done, it all depends on how you approach
them. I have found over the years, that if you are
extremely nice, pleasant and smiling to everyone
you meet, they will be to embarrassed to respond to
you in any other manner. So for today, make it your
smile day”, and remember, the next person you
see may have personal problems that you are
unaware of and your smile could be the thing that
gets them thru the day. Kindness is contagious, lets
start an epidemic on campus.
To the writer of the letters; we strongly disagree
about our friend Maude, but I do love you and will
smile to you every time I see you.
Have a good day!

Dear Editor-in Chief and Staff,
I apologize to you for not thanking you sooner for
the beautiful editorial about me in the Clarion
issue, March 13th.
As you know I spent 8 days in Hutchinson, Ka at
the NJCAA tournament and I think it put me 8
weeks behind in my work in the office.
Now that I have finally found time to properly
thank you, I hardly know what to say. I have never
been able to accept compliments gracefully not
enough experience, I guess. But thank you from the
bottom of my heart, I was very deeply touched. I
still turn back to it and read it again during some of
my trying times and it gets me thru the day. The
compliments I have received from others in
relation to the editorial made me feel lo feet tall
and did wonders for my ego (not to much on the
ego, I hope).
Again, thank you.

Miscellaneous
Unfortunately,
Brevard College’s
library magazine,
THE CHIAROSCURO
was unable to come
out this year. We are
bringing you a mini-
CHIAROSCURO on
the middle two pages
of THE CLARION.
The literary editor
for this publication
was Steve Mickey.
Fred Wise served as
art editor.
Exam permits
were issued on
Friday, April 20th. If
you did not receive
one then check with
the Business Office to
determine what
charges are still
outstanding. All
parking fines, library
fines, and room
damage fines as well
as tuition balances
and loans must be
settled before ex-
maination permits
will be issued. Take
care of your account
today.
Spring is here and
with it come the
beautiful tulips and
daffodils that
decorate our campus.
Many hours of hard
work and care went
into creating the
attractive flower
beds in front of the
administration build
ing and beside the
cafeteria, so let’s be
sure that everyone
gets a chance to see
and appreciate them.
Do you know
someone who you
think is very in
teresting? Do you
have some special
interest which you
think would be of
interest to our
readers? If you have
any ideas about
possible contributions
to THE CLARION

Debi Crane, Box 144

Again we must
remind you that we
except and urge
reader contributions
to our publications.
