At a “loyalty” assembly meet ing the students of Brevard Col lege voted by individual amounts $1,500 toward the construction of the gymnasium that will be be gun within several weeks. This amount was almost par alleled in 1934, at which time the student body pledged $1,200 to ward the same project, although they did not know when the gymnasium would be built. There had not been any effort to encourage this pledging of money before the assembly pro gram at which it was suggested by Mr. Coltrane. The entire pledging was spontaneous, be cause of school loyalty and an in terest in securing a suitable gym nasium for Brevard College. A gymnasium for the College is only a part of the building Wedding Students of Brevard College were very much interested in the marriage of Miss Charlotte Brown Hatcher to Mr. Jack S. Dendy.

Mr. Coltrane stated to the stu dent body that it now appears that the College will have an in firmary and library also within the next eighteen months. Both of these buildings are badly need ed for the welfare of the stu dents, especially since there is an increase every year in student registration.

The pledges amount to $1,500, and they range from one dollar to fifty dollars.

Banner to Be In Inauguration Did you know that Brevard College is to have part in the inauguration ceremonies at Wash ington? Yes, it’s true. Mr. Mc Intosh,State Director of N. Y.

Roosevelt begins his second term as President of our United States. Dr. Long donated a thirty-inch pennant with the Brevard College seal and motto on it. This has been sent to Mr. McIntosh, who will send it on to Washington. Have a Hike By Mary Palmer Announcement by Miss Smith : ‘ ‘All those wishing to go on a hike please meet in front of West Hall at four o’clock this afternoon.” I hadn’t accumulated a good sreath of fresh air since my last coon-hunting trip; so feeling eager to snatch a last view of autumn before Old Man Winter came along, I decided to go hiking. !: skiddooed up stairs at quarter to four and donned my slacks laundered 7 Ph. Ed. classes be fore.) Then I slung on a shoe or two and propped myself on the leanpost of West Hall. Seeing no prospective accompaniers insight, I took a little snooze for several minutes. Finally a handful of girls came promenading up the walk, and I woke up. Approximately one hour and five minutes later, I, plus nine or six other girls, formed our usual marching line, followed in the rear by Miss Hayes and her umbrella. We picked up a few boys at Taylor Hall and proceeded onward. Soon the toe of the mountain was at our feet; grad ually we ascended, but later the slopes became so steep that I thought I was climbing a brick wall. I became exhausted and lost all my breath too, but I still kept climbing. Somebody’s foot was in my mouth all the way up the mountain; but I did not say anything about it because, on account of the enormousness of the foot, I didn’t have enough room to talk. Personally, I did not lavish much affection on the taste. That was the most awfuj mountain I ever saw, but we fi nally reached the top. The at mosphere was perfect and the scenery was magnificent. The very thought of my downward path filled me with bitter agony. No doubt I looked like Napoleon Bonaparte (Boney-Part) after his defeat or maybe like the Scatter brain Brothers in a thunderstorm. When we started to descend, the process was faster than expected; for thirty seconds put me through. (Are You Telling I?) I was as limp as a dish rag and looked like something the dogs brought in.
