WEAVER COLLEGE History Weaverville, North Carolina, is known to have maintained a private school since about 1836. At that time the Holston Con ference of the Methodist Church ■was entertained in Weaverville in a frame building erected for that purpose. This “Conference House” was used for school pur poses until 1854, when “Temper ance Hall” was built and used as a school until 1872. Then the older wing of the present Admin istration Building was erected, and the institution was charter ed as Weaverville College. In 1884 the property was turned over to the Methodist Church. In 1912 the charter was changed, and the institution became a junior college. Location Weaverville is in the heart of the Asheville health region. It is, itself, a quiet, conservative village of about twelve hundred people. It is provided through out with electric lights and an excellent water and sewer sys tem. Since it is only rine miles from Asheville, student^have all the college advantage coun try location, and c^ nirty minutes be in Ash ■ f hop- or jJJitS; , ment.

GTIZENS’ MILITARY TRAIN ING CAMP The, War Department will op- irate Citizens’ Military Training Camps in the Fourth Corps Area luring the summer of 1927, for ;he training of young men be tween the ages of seventeen and twenty-four years. These camps vill open on June 15 and close on July 14, 1927. Four thousand young men will be selected to attend these camps from Fourth Corps Area, which comprises the states of Tennes see, North Carolina, South Caro lina, Geor^a, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The Army Posts where the camps will be established and the number of young men to be trained at each camp are shown below: Fort Barrancas, Florida, 500 Coast Artillery. 9.00 Field Artillery. .Camp McClellan, Alabama; 900 Infantry. Fort McPherson, Georgia; 500 Infantry; . Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia; 750 Cavalry. Fort Screven, Georgia; 150 In fantry. On account of the. limited amount of funds for transporta tion, the young men selected for these camps will be assigned to the camps nearest their homes, that is: In the state of North Carolina halls, seven class rooms, and‘youjig jnen from the counties of three offices. I Buncombe, Cherokee, Clay, Gra- hard and efficiently. The moral and religious inluences of these camps are kept £t the very high est standards. Attendance at these camps constitutes no obli gation of future military service. Scholarships t« leading univer sities, colleges aid preparatory schools througbut the United States are awaried annually to young men attending Citizens’ Military Traininf Camps. These camps we inaugurated by the late President Roosevelt. They have been sponsored and endorsed by President Wilson, Harding and Coolidge, and by the leading churchmen arid educa tors of the United States. The sons of Presidents and of labor ers and farmers all have an equal chance, and eat, drill, and bunk side by side. The mornings are devoted to military training, calesthenics and instruction in citizenship, hygiene, first aid and marksman ship. Afternoons are set aside for athletics, baseball, swimming, wrestling, tennis, etc. Every man must compete in some form of athletics. Candidates in the Red, White and Blue courses re ceive instruction in advanced subjects during apart of the af ternoons. The evenings are devoted to vesper services, moving pictures, dances and entertainments. The government furnishes all expenses, including travel from home to camp and return, camp facilities, food, clothing, medical attention and laundry.

DEDICATION To Miss Lucile Smith Dear Madam: Since it is cus tomary for all aspiring geniuses in the realm of literature, to in scribe their first works to some well-known personage, I wish to present to you the following masterpiece, which I hope will receive your indulgent approval. This poem was inspired by Lowell’s “Vision of Sir Launfal.” It is written in sporaphis ambi dexter, and has rhyme scheme a-z-t-w-k-8-3-?-q-s-?-|, etc. “My golden spurs now bring me quick. My Sunday hat and walking stick. And I will gallop far and wide The Grail’s location to decide.” With ringing smack he kissed his wife Clapped in his belt a gun and knife; .'^^nd dashing wildly out the gate. He leapt astride his fiery nag. *Git up!” he roared in wild command, ind sped like lightning o’er the land. With clattering clash his charger dashed He leapt the crags, thru wood lands crashed. The winter held her icy sway. Her frozen hand locked every bay. The streams beneath the ice did seep, 4nd every pool was froz^,4!^~ U|>‘.' a frozen'glen Sir Launfal dashed ' ’Jieath frozen hernlocks’ boughs he.►slashed., . With f clattering hoofs the bould- irs rang. Filing the vale" ■with rattling dang. Beide him ran an ice-choked itream, Btfoye, a frozen pool did gleam. Tie charger stumbled at the brink, Sr Launfal in the pool did sink. !e splashed the crackling ice beneath, Vith aching limbs and chatter ing teeth. The nag then madly homeward tore; Sr Launfal walked to th’ castle door. Where’s the Grail, you surly ■bear?” Lsked Mrs. Launfal, loud and clear; You know quite well I want the GrajDi To grace my cgnter table frail;” ‘By George,” quoth he in angry sweat, ‘Not what you want, but what' you get— For want without the getting’s bare. As a shining head’s devoid of Tl’e coutet between the de- partn.ent hfB stirred up a great . deal of inteEst. Let’s not let thi!
