O’clock Jump,” and “Now is the
Hour.”
The dance proved very success
ful with approximately two hun
dred attending. In . the crowd were
many former students of the school

Dedication ceremonies for the
new concert model Hammond elec
tric organ recently given to the
college were held last Tuesday
evening at 8:00 p.m. in the school
auditoriuni.
The organ was given to the col
lege by*H. A. Dunham, of Asheville
and an unknown friend this fall,
and was installed in the auditorium
of Dunham Hall prior to the open
ing of the fall semester.
Mrs. Louise P. Miller was dedi
cation organist and presented a
musical program which included
‘•Festival Prelude on Ein Feste
Burg,” William Faulkes; “Bible
Poem s,” Jaromir Weinberger;
Abide With Us and Lord Jesus
Walking on the Sea; and “Grand

Walter P. Baldwin, pastor of the

benediction.
“In the days when Brevard col
lege is expanding to such heights
of prominence, we must never for
get that our growth is due in a
greater part to the work of men
like H. A. Dunham,” Dr. Coltrane
said. In the past few years, Mr.
Dunham has given to Brevard col
lege property valued at approxi
mately a quarter of a million dol
lars. A protrait of him was un
veiled last winter in the adminis
tration building, Dunham Hall.
“Upon completion of the new
Fine Arts and Music building, for
which plans are now being drafted,
the Hammond organ will be moved
to a permanent place, befitting to
its donators.” the president said.
Band, Majorettes
Make Hit At Game
■ The Brevard college band very
ably performed for the first time
this year last Saturday night dur
ing the Brevard-ASTC “B” game
played on th6 high school field.
Before the game, the band led a
parade of students from the col
lege through town to the field.
The game was opened by the band
playing the National Anthem. At
intervals during the game every
one was pepped up by the several
spirited songs that were played.
Jim Wofford, drum major, did
a very capable job of leading the
band. Adding much in attractive
ness and spirit were the two ma
jorettes, Pauline Mallard and
Elaine Orr.
As a climax the band marched
on the field during the half. As
they marched up the field they
played “Music in the Air” and
then stopped before the Brevard
stands and played “The American
Patrol.” Marching off the field the
band gave a rendition of “Hand
Me Down My Walking Cane.”
“As the band added much to the
color and spirit of the game, we
know everyone will be looking for
ward to their next performance."
Frank Roberts stated.
