Voice Students
Give Recital
Friday Novcrhber 20, Miss
Hatcher’s voice students gave a
private recital in the voice studio
from 4 until 5 o’clock. Only the
voice students and few guests
were present.
Mary Lee Alexander opened
the recital with ‘ ‘A Brown Bird
Singing,” by Wood. Next Jane
Mitchell sang “One Golden
Hour,” by Metcalf; and Pierce
Cole sang “Exercise Number 1”
from Lanperti.
As a novelty number Mary
Alexander sang “La Francais”
with the rest of the students
joining in the chorus.
Charles Woodson’s number
was “To You,” by Oley Speaks.
Marcella Pendley sang “Hear My
Prayer,” by Will James.
In closing, the entire group ren
dered a lovely Neapolitan song,
“Turn Back to Sorento.” Fol
lowing this, Miss Hatcher, assist
ed by several girls, served de
licious refrehments to the group.
Flash!
The Clarion will not be publish
ed again until the first week of
the second quarter on account of
examinations.
‘ ‘Obstinacy is the result of the
will forcing itself int o the place
L f the intellect. ” —Schopenhauer.
Examinations are always an
advantage to the student; they
are weapons in the hands of the
person taking the test, not weap
ons blasting against him.
In track and all sports the ath
lete depends on the coming of
his second-wind before he expects
to do his best. An army will stake
an entire victory on one battle—
a battle known as the final drive.
Now it is not possible to stake
all of three months’ work on one
recitation known as an exa,min-
ation; but every student has been
in class three or five times each
week in each course. Even that
preparation alone is extremely
jeneficia). In fact, it is so help
ful that no teacher should ever
give a zero on a day's work, for
“Public Opinion’’
If th^studrats so^desire, next
quarter the present form of the
column “Public Opinion” will be
changed. The column will consist
of letters written by students, lim
ited to one hundred words.
The column will still be conduct
ed by Irene Parsons, and students
desiring to have letters published
should turn them in to Miss Par
sons.
Clios Elect
Officers
At the Cliosophic Literary
Society meeting Friday night,
November 20, officers for the sec
ond quarter were elected.
The ofiScers elected were Bill
Ferguson, president; Rowland
Taylor, vice-president; Frank
Craven, secretary; S. B. Tweed,
treasurer; and Leon Stubbs, cha
plain.
‘ ‘Books are the true levelers. They
give to all who faithfully use
them the society, the spiritual
presence, of the best and greatest
of our race.” — W. E. Chan-
ning.
‘ ‘I call to the world to distrust
the accounts of my friends, but
listen to my enemies, as I myself
do.”—Walt Whitman.
it is only a reflection on him. Ev
ery teacher will teach every stu
dent something at each class re
citation.
Examinations covering the first
quarter’s work begin next week,
but that is a long time away. In
four days it is possible to review
and refresh one’s mind with once-
learned facts. It is also possible
to lament the approaching of an
examination; but about all there
is left to do is lament if studying
is neglected.
The wise will do with examin
ation what they would any simi
lar opportunity. It may be neces
sary to surrender the pleasure of
week-end dates, trips home, and
like joys in order to be fair to
oneself.
Irene Parsons Is
Contest Winner
In a recent contest held by the
Euterpian Literary Society, for a
song for the society, judged by
Misses Hatcher and Clay, Irene
Parsons was declared winner. No
prize was offered, the honor being
worth striving for. The song is
written to the tune of the chorus
of “Sweet Genevieve. ” The song
is:
Euterpe, now thy song we sing.
For thou hast been our gracious
guide.
To follow doth a pleasure give.
And joys which ever will abide.
To thee we pledge our loyalty,
Our talents all, our spirit too;
And we shall carry on the work
That thou hast given us to do.
Euterpeans To
Sponsor Play
The Euterpean Literary Socie
ty will sponsor a play to be giv
en in the auditorium tonight. The

Four to Graduate
December Seventh
Monday morning, December 7,
four girls will be awarded diplo
mas of Brevard College at the
winter quarter commencement
exercises which will be conduct
ed in the college auditorium at
10:30.
By virtue of the fact that they
have remained in school during
two summer quarters Virginia
Barnes, Helen Dillard, Virginia
King, and Inez Allison will com
plete their required work for
graduation from Brevard College
at the end of this quarter, De
cember 5.
At the writing of this story it
was indefinite as to who the
speaker for graduation will be.
This will be the first winter
quarter graduation exercises that
the college has conducted; yet
there will be regular commence
ment program at the end of each
quarter if there are students
eligiable for graduation.
