Start The New Year Right
in spring semester begins
month of the new year, and that we take exam-
w j learned during the old year that
has just passed. Now is the time to turn over a new leaf
u resolutions. And not just to make
them, but to keep every one. Much could be written about
how to make the most of this new year, 1950, which is the
beginning of a new half century. These thoughts will be
confined, however, to your life at Brevard college for the
new semester which is coming up after next week.
. anyone has been lax in his studies, let him begin
r®’?®wed diligence. This semester holds much
m store for all of us, but we are going to have to studv to
. get the most out of it. If everyone would realize the acute
need tor men and women with wisdom in the world today,
there would be no difficulty in getting young pepole to
study and apply themselves to their college work. Every-
tmng that we learn will be used in some form in our life
alter we leave this campus, and the more we learn, the
more we will be able to rise above the common levels of
(j . Ttfi
Students, we owe it to ourselves, to our teachers, and
to those who are responsible for our being in this college,
to make a name that everyone will thrill to hear. Let’s
bucWe down and make this new year and this new semes
ter the best ever.
'Nuff said?
Ql.
Could This Be You Speaking?
Hey, Jane, did you get your algebra?”
‘No, I can’t get the d— stuff.”
‘‘I ain’t going to get it either,” .
night?^^ Say did you hear what happened last
‘‘Yeah, but I bet you didn’t hear this one . . . .”
No, the cursing was bad, but that wasn’t the worst
about this conversation. It was carried on by some
students, and it contained some very profane words. The
worst thing about it, though, was that it was carried on
during a prayer in a chapel program.
Such actions as this show a definite lack of respect
and reverence. It is not compulsory for one to listen and
^ attentive while he is in chapel, but courtesy demands
that one,not disturb someone who wants to listen. Let the
Brevard college students learn when conversation is ap'
propriate and called for. At all other times, let us curb
our tongues.

“THE BIG STEAL”
Well, ole Santa has already been
here and gone for another year,
and he surely was good to me this
Christmas. Like most gossip re
porters, I asked him to leave me
some juicy morsels for this issue
and he obliged by leaving me two
stockings full. Thought I’d pass
some of ’em on to you.
The way Myrt Edwards keeps
throwing rings around has every
body guessing what will happen
next.
Janet, we hear that you had a
disappointment one night since
you got back. Keep on trying, gal.
For a few days last week after
the explosion of that fatal fire
cracker from Taylor Hall, there
was a strange quietness between
those involved in the intrigue and
their steady dates.
Betsy D., is one of your interests
leaving after graduation next
week?
Smitty and Dottie Gay kept the
flame burning while the holidays
progressed. Nice going, kids.
There’s no rule that says em
ployees of the coUege can’t be gos
siped about in this column, so
we’d like to say here that we thinV
Valma and Bill are a cute couple.
Cupid has been at work again,
with a new romance as the result.
The victims: none other than Ken
ny Davis and Anne Lewis.
That little fellow also takes
his bow for shooting his arrows
through the hearts of “Angel” and i
Helen Coble.
Chester, it surely is good to see
you back over at West Hall. We
think Margaret is a fine girl, too.
^ Did anyone ever wonder why
Gladys and Joyce watch for the
mail so closely every day? Couldn’t
be Chapel Hill on the other end of
the line, could it, girls? Or could
it?
These diamond rings seem to be
a fad on the campus nowadays. At
least Kat Martin, Ann Holton and
Sylvia Thompson think so.
We surely are going to miss see
ing Bette and Jim together next
semester, and we know that Bette
is going to miss having her man
around.
As far as Eleanor Orr is con
cerned, Duke University might as
well be on Mars! Her interests
seem to be donated entirely to the
curriculum at Brevard at the mo
ment.
Betty Shepherd, we heard you
had a fme time with Henry during
the holidays. The mail seems to
come in from Clemson pretty oft
en, too.
Seems that Lizette is really play
ing the field now.
Betsy Bowman and Eddie Thom
as still like each other’s company,
as we see it from here.
Doris, you and Clinton wouldn’t
be trying to get up a case, would
you?
Lately David Price has made
more frequent visits to West.
Looking for Dot, maybe?
Well, that doesn’t even exliaust
the supply of gossip in half a
stocking, but we will save some
for next time. Till then, be good.
