are now registering gather for the
first assemble period Wednesday
morning, there very probably will
be the largest number of students
ever to begin a quarter’s work at
Brevard College.
Students are here from many
states and from all sections of
North Carolina to begin the duties,
studies, and joys of another year.
According to the register of stu

but do not room on the catnpus are

Summer School
More than one hundred students
were enrolled for the second sum
mer session at Brevard, which be
gan June 15 and closed Saturday,
August 29.
The entire summer period was
divided into three sections, with
the first being the regular first half
of the summer quarter. The second
arrangement was for freshmen on
ly, and it began July 6, with an en
rollment of twelve students. The
third section was the last half of
the regular summer quarter.
Approximately fifteen courses in
college work were offered while
there were about eight courses of
fered to high school students. The
high school department is only in
operation during the summer quar
ter; and about twenty students
were enrolled in the high school de
partment throughout the summer.
In order to have an adequate pro
gram outside the class room, the
students and faculty were placed
in two different groups with both
having equal membership. These
two groups were given Indian
names, i. e. Chickasaw and Yema-
see. Both clubs elected a leader for
the period, and teams of various
kinds were organised for competi-
pied by Wednesday night. Sixteen
additional rooms have been built in
the basement, thus making room
for the large group of boys who are
expected.
By the middle of the summer ev
ery room in West Hall had been
asked for, and it has been necessa-
to renovate and remodel Mr. Col-
trane’s former house into a resi
dence for girls. Virginia Lodge is
again to be used as a girl’s dormi
tory.
By the time registration closes
sometime this week there will be
approximately four hundred stu
dents here. The larger number of
this group will be composed of a-
})out two hundred and fifty boys,
while the minority will be the fem
inine organization of about one hun
dred and fifty.
In the classification of classes the
freshman class will outnumber the
the sophomore class by about fifty
or seventy-five. However, practi
cally all of last year’s freshmen are
returning to form this year’s soph
omore class.
Mr. Coltrane states that he is
happy to know that the registration
is high and that he contemplates
having the largest group of stu
dents ever to enter Brevard.
tive sport. Each group entertained
the other at a social, and there was
the big “pow wow” shortly before
school closed. This affair was in
the form of a camp-fire program
and social on the campus at Ross
Hall.
During the summer only the first
and second floors of both Taylor
Hall and West Hall were occupied
by students. Classes were conduct
ed only in the morning, with the
exception of laboratory periods
which came in the afternoon. The
students met for assembly program
every morning except Saturday.
