Some 25 Students Participated in Varied Programs On Talent Night Music Department By LOIS STRATTON What music major does not love the basement of Taylor Hall? There Mr. Artley reigns supreme as head of the college music department. There also are the practice rooms in which each music major spends, every free moment from eight a.m. until five p.m. and often much later. Most of you are" familiar with the music department more through the band and the chorus than any other way. The band has made a very creditable showing at all of our football games and its playing gave an air of glamour and excitement which would have been absent otherwise. Next spring the band is going on at least one four-day tour. The route will be probably be announced at an early date. The chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Artley, >vill make its first public appearance on the night of Monday, December 6. They will have a ten minute program at a meeting of • the Asheville, Marion, and Waynesville districts of the Methodist Youth Conference. La ter in the year, they will probably journey to other places. A membership drive for the State Federation of Music Clubs has also been started. This organ ization is affiliated with the Na tional Federation of Music Clubs. Dues are fifty cents and any nfu- sic student who wishes to join will please see Carl Guin as soon as possible. Miss Gates In Charge . . Candy, Punch Balloons And Clowns Featured New Year Over 25 students took part in a “Talent Night” program which took place in the college auditori um on Friday night, November 19. Caroline Gates, organ teacher, was in charge of the program which consisted of strictly student talent. The program was presented in the form of a three-ring circus with Max McCracken acting as ringmaster. Candy, punch, and balloons were sold to the crowd which overflow ed the auditorium, and clowns roamed through the audience dur ing the show. One of the most popular skits was the Blue “J” Quartet, com posed of boys from dormitory J. Made up in black face were Earl “Hoot” Gibson, Bob Levi, J. C. Grose, and Bob Davis. Bill Hunt ley, in his natural white face, was called upon to assist the quartet in one number. Members of the Tornado foot ball squad made their appearance dressed as girls and performed a chorus line. Immediately follow^ ing this, the football boy’s girl friends, decked out in their fellow’s football uniforms, came on the stage and gave their version of what the Tornadoes look like when they are out on the field. Tumbling acts and much singing added gaiety to the program which provided more variety than any program presented this year. “What an era is every New Year’s Day if well considered! Another stage in our journey, a shifting, of the scene without interrupting the continuity of the piece . . . the wind ing up of our watch that it may tell us the time tomorrow; a fresh page in our Book of Existence, in which much may be written.”—Caroline Fox. [ never see beauty in people Unless they are saints, and yet There are some people so lovely As a human could hope to get. God is my idea of beauty And nature, of course, is God. Beauty is a daisy growing Out of mountain sod. Beauty is a blue bird flying Into the wild blue yonder. Beauty is a sunny day; It’s lightning, rain, and thunder. I can find beauty in everything Even in pain and strife; Beauty is everything God creates, Beauty is just plain life. CONTRASTS Why do things always have to end Before they have really begun? Why must sadness always appear To bring an end to the fun? Something must be bad, I suppose Or there wouldn’t be good in life; And there couldn’t be prosperity If it were not balanced by strife. But sometimes it’s hard to see just why Our 'lives are patterned that way; We rarely ever stop to think That we must have night to have day. “No one ever regarded the first of January with indifference. It is the nativity of our common Adam.” —Charles Lamb. “Every man naturally persuades himself that he can keep his resolu tions, nor is he convinced of his im becility but by length of time and frequency of experiment. They whom frequent failures have made desperate, cease to form, resolu tions, and they who are become cim- ning, do not tell them.”—Samuel Johnson. Hicks Attends (Continued From Page One) Hicks also expressed the hope that a vice-president and secre- tary-treasurer of the student body could be elected by the students at an early date. As of yet the student government at Brevard has not been functioning, but of ficers and council members will be chosen in the near future, Hicks continued. Purely Unintentional "There is too much said at New Year’s about turning over a new leaf. Are the old leaves all so badly written that we must hasten to for get them? Is the blank whiteness of the untouched page more pleasant to the eye , or more fortifying to the will than those closely written, un derlined, untidy, but familiar pages which make up the story of one’s life?”—Bliss Perry. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Jenks, a popular young broker, has finally admitted, after mak ing many attempts at the game, that golf is not for him. The irrevocable decision, he sheepishly admits, came one day when, a^er a particular brutal session in a sand-trap, he sought to relieve the uncomfortable sil ence by cherrily declaring to his caddy: “Funny game golf.” To which the boy morosely re plied: “ ’Taint meant to be.” ColIes:e Students On Church Program The morning worship service of the CUffside Methodist church, Cliffside, will be conducted by stu dents at Brevard college, with the sermon being delivered by J. P. Porter, director of the expansion program here at the local institu tion. Brevard college has accepted 15 such invitations from churches in this section of North Carolina. “These visitation programs offer experience to the 20 ministerial students, the 17 young women plan ning carreers in religious educa tion, the Qumeroua Brevard col lege students who expect to be active laymen in their local church es,”- Mr. Porter comments. Frank Roberts, of Charlotte, will be organist at the service in Cliff- side Sunday morning and special music will be furnished by a quartet composed of Betty Anders, of Hendersonville, Lois Stratton, of Reidsville, Jack Prince, of Kings Mountain, and Charlie Freeman, of Raleigh. The sermon topic will be “Room Enough to Live.” SOME BURG He;My home town is so small the homing pigeons have to carry magnifying glasses. Him: That’s nothing!
