I woTild say that the best way to meet this situation is not as some would say-^“Relax and let your self go,” nor do as my roomies did at the Saturday night ban quet - - cram, stuff, and then take it easy - - but be calm, take your time, and do your best. Sincerely yours, Mary Willie Yelton^ Pear Editor: Examinations are again beir g discussed, and students are shud dering at every mention of them. Usually this dread increases, gradually affects everybody,and culminates i n complete loss of control ftr some. This anitudt is needless’ and harmful. Ex aminations are not a separate unit; they are the completion of the quarter’s work and depend largely on what has already berr learned. Thorough systematic reviewing will accomplish more than frantic “cramming”. Sincerely yours, * Corine Self. Fairy Tale The half-moon rises red. There is little joy in living. The clouds stand motionless ii See the fourth column College Paper The sixty people who attended the Clarion staff banquet last Sat urday night were impressed by the I fact that there is jan urgent need I for a progressive in e w s p a pe r at I Brevard College. I This banquet I which was named the “First An nual Staff Ban quet” was to celebrate the work done on the twenty-one issues of the CZanon that have, b&en {jrint- ed during the first two quajrters of the year’s work, .to give'-new inspiration to print a better pa per, and to honor 'those people (who are many) who encourage the printing of our student new s- paper. A sound, honest, representa tive newspaper can be of grtat value to any student body. il even say that this type of news paper is indispensable for a full college life and for correct inter pretation of a college, since a newspaper is the b-ast mirror or chronicle of a community. Brevard College can pr ve f vital aid to students w ho desire training in journalism and cre ative writing. Her offers in this field have improved increasinglv fast since the opening of the col lege. Now many students are able to acquir.- invaluable-instruc tiun and practice in creative writ ia?. Sitrict journalistic courses are lacking, but indirect training and the experience of wrili ig for print each week is possiLly th best type ®.f training. The Clarion has numerous pur poses and standards. The stafi, if tediously and metieulouplv striving to print the best possibU newspaper. Exp ressioKs ^ Practically every day we hear new expressions. Esp'^cially d- we hear different expression! .vheDgWe meet ntw ptople o) when we contact old friends whd' have^jvt d in a different section rtir e yJ'ii may not have heard: 1. “I slept in se itences.” 2. “Talk i'g up a sapling.” ?. “Neithir for money nor 'ove. ” German Proverbs Regardless of how little one may learn about a foreign lan guage, there is lasting advantage in learning any of them. In a study of German one is impressed with the cleverness of expres sion, the complicated construc tion, and face characteristic of the type itself. Our printers do not have the German style of the type, but following are some German proverbs contrasted with the English: 1. “Experience makes one wise.’f' “Erfahrung macht klug.” 2. “He who laughs last laughs best.” ' . “Wer zuletzt lacht lacht am b sten.” 3. “Out of nothing comes nothirg.” “Aus nichts wird nichts.” X Time to Think Sc me people go to church to think. There are sp^:ial pro- giams which we attend just to think throtgh tl e performance. We often listen to music because it makes us think. Tnere are nu merous things pe( ole do only be cause they will be able to think whild doing tht m. Now when we attend one of these programs or one of such affairs to think, we sometimes lind that our thinking is directed by the main performer; speaker, or performers of the occasion. And usually it is this type pro- Irram (whatever its iiature) which gives to us inspirational, wholesome thought; it is the means by which we develop cer- ain phases of our being. It is a place or thing that becomes alluring, that makes us b tter. Contemporaries “The preparing o f 150,000 round, white, ‘headache chasers’ s just one of the tasks the 44 seniors in operative pharmacy at the University of Minnesota do in one year.” '• “De Pauw University keeps a 12,000-ton reserve of coal in the event that mine-strikers will cut off the fuel supply.” You Need “Mere writing ability isn’t the most important requirment for a wtiuld-be nfewrspaperman, says Professor John L. Brumm, chair man of the University bf Michi gan’ S 'journalism dejjartment. ‘Bounding health’ is his greatest necessity.” A course in dramatics and ex pression should be required o f every college student, for they would aid in personality develop ment which is an attribute that the college student needs to cul- tiyate. I We have always heard that we should be natural and not “put on” or act. Yet perfect acting is being perfectly natural, in the role which is being assumed. E- ven in classic acting prefection is not obtained until a perfect sat- isfaption is given, and this satis- fa tioil^ is not given until true imp rsohat'oi is made. Dramatics gives one a com plete picture of himself. There isa chance to discover and de velop. Expression teachSs one td'speak correctly and effective ly. One learns the vailueof ’ know ing how to walk and the posture that is most becoming and. health ful. Acting teaches a person to read the make-up of people. The actor learns how to laugh, to show sympathy (if it cannot be felt), to express a feeling or e- motion in words and with facial expression. A course in expres sion will teach one to become al luding. fascinating, and charm ing pven sometimes when those attributes are not native and dormant. Today we live in a society where personality is a key-wbrd, wh°re one cannot “get to first base” if he or she be the wall flower or finger-sucking type. We must sell ourselves, and only quality proves inviting. There has been a notable en largement in the Dramatic Club this year. Many students have appeared in the three productions of the year. The training is as sisting each of these in a distinc tive manner. You have a chance to join that club and get exceed ingly valuable training. silver waves. The mo^n is a half-cut disc of roses, And the clouds are silver against a deepness of horizon. There i s little gladness in But this is ecstasy. —Margaret Ryan
