Girls’ Intramurals
Brevard college is now a member of the North Caro
lina Athletic Federation of College Women. Three dele-
gateis from our campus attended a conference last month
on the campus of Guilford college. While there, they
learned w^hat other schools are doing in order to build a
Strong program of intramurals for their women students,
and they gained some ideas to follow when they returned
to Brevard to plan an athletic program.
Since that time the athletic board has worked hard to
perfect their tentative plans for the remainder of the
school year. But—-unless the girls are interested and
will come out and participate when their teams are sched
uled to play, all the efforts of the board members will be
in vain. The board is working for the girls, and it is our
school spirit that should prompt us to support and cooper
ate with the advisors of the intramural program. If you
haven’t been down to the gym lately, why not drop around
to find out how much fun you have been missing?
Perhaps you have heard that block “B” letters are to
be awarded this year. Would you care to earn one? Con
tact the athletic board for information about it. The phy
sical education department heads would like to see a lot
of these letters being worn during the latter part of the
year as well as next year. As the song title goes, “Ask
Anyone Who Knows”; they’ll tell you what an athletic
letter means to you.
Hats Off To The Administrators ^
Say, guys and gals, have you been over to the base
ment of West Hall lately? Silly question; of course you
have, but natch! Didn’t you notice something new? Well,
how’d you like it?
Many a student has expressed his delight over the
new student center and post office in the old recreation
hall in,the basement of West. It is the answer to our
pleas and gripes. Too often we are hasty in forming opin
ions of our administrators and advisers, but now we should
turn the tables and give them the praise and the thanks
that they should have for making the new center possible.
It’s always a good maxim to give credit where such is due.
The addition of the juke box and the popcorn ma
chine are attractions that speak for themselves. I^et us
keep the center the place that it should be, and let’s not
abuse the privileges that have been made possible for us.
By doing these little things, we will be showing the ad
ministration that we do appreciate their cooperation in
our social life.

BIG SAFETY YEAR
In 194142, more Red Cross cer
tificates were issued to persons
completing health, safety and oth
er training cQurses than in any
other yeax,
“Spring is sprung, the gras is
Tiz. Wonder whar the flours is?”
Aint that a plum cute litel ole
vers tho? It’s rite fitten fer whut
it’s lak at Befvard nowadaies. All
cept fer the calinder, whut don’t
say it’s sprung yit, a body wood

how it looked. Awl aroun you kin
here peepul a-sniffin and a-coffin
and a-tawkin bout chils an feever,
but I rekin thet will chang over
ter spring feever in a litel while
now. Miz Pilot (I’m alius reel
keerful ter spel her nam rite) is
nice and chairful these daies an
puts things in the rite spirut by
bein thetaway. Awl them lovy-
(iovys think thets mitey nice, nat-
cherly.
I guess you awl has seen them
kites they ben a-flyin aroun hyar.
Ain’t they purty, tho? Tother
dale when the wind wuz blowin so
hard I wuz a-wishin ter git me
one an go Out thar with them

diden tho ’cause I heerd it wuzn’t
the thing fer a nice an refined
gurl with dignuty and larnin lak

good spring tonick, jest git yore-
sef a carlode uv Hadercall. Its

DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
“For as he thinketh in his
heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7.
A large club in a certain city
was planning a banquet, and in
order to have a broad program of
entertainment, they invited a
famed northern minister as the
featured speaker. During the
course of the dinner, speaker aft
er speaker arose and gave their
speeches which included off-color,
smutty jokes. These caused roars
of laughter from the crowd. When
time for the minister’s talk came,
he merely rose, laid down his writ
ten speech and said, “Gentlemen,
I came with a message, but after
hearing the contaminated jokes
this evening, I feel assured that
your minds would not be able to
grasp the inspirational theme of
my talk.” Therewith, he prompt
ly left the room.
Have we the courage of that
minister to stand up for the right?
Do we possess the intrepidity to
refuse certain things, or must we
compromise and follow those ele
ments which are not Christ-like?
DOMESTIC ECONOMY
Wife; Oh, John, the woman next
door has a hat just like my new
one.
Hubby: Now I suppose you want
to buy another?
Wife; Well it would be cheaper
than moving.
Pine Whispers
That much^talked-of anti-social
tlub, from all appearances, has
been disbanded. Moe has become
quite the gay lad, and even came
out enough to take someone to
the dance. Barbara’s reason
enough, as we see it.
And Coiie, too! Dot, did you
draw straws when you chose him
from among the numerous hope
fuls who had plans for escorting
you to the dance?
Eddie Thomas and Betsy Bow
man appear to have more than
just a chemical attraction for each
other.
Weren’t Terrell Harris and Jim
my Barker the happy ones last
week end?
Few people realized that a ce
lebrity was present at the Valen
tine dance. Those who did were
very much impressed by Gil Coan,
baseball star for the Washington
Senators.
You had better be careful Mar
ty, Bruce might get jealous.
We couldn’t believe our eyes
when we saw Ratch and Evon to
gether. Hope it was more than
just for old times’ sake.
Wonder what Helen will think
of Bill Beasley’s haircut when she
sees it?
Tommy Higgins has become a
lone wolf (?) lately since Speed-
ball found an interest in feminine
companionship—namely Peaches.
That certainly was a nice-look-
ing basket of fruit that Bill sent
you while you were in the infirm
ary, Eloise.
P. R. and Russ have decided to
make it for keeps. Here’s to you,
kids.
Ebby didn’t waste any time in
staking his claim for Toopie. To
speak in no imcertain terms, she’s
got it.
Mary Ann, did you have a good
time in Concord last week end?
Greensboro is awake at last.
With Sherman and Jennie Lee,
and Harold and Jean all paired
off, they make a good showing.
Archie can be seen around
West Hall often now-a-days. Could
it be Jane?
There are rumors that Pat H.
is carrying the torch for Joe Wal
ker.
Anne Deas and Don Hogewood
certainly did make a good-looking
couple at the Valentine dance.
Jim Perry has already made
himself known to the girls, espe
cially one in West.
Many pairs o f eyes looked
twice when Lizette displayed that
monster of an orchid at the dance.
She not only had a bouquet for
the dance—the one she got for
Valentine’s Day was still in its
prime. Say, Liz, does Jimmy have
a brother, by any chance?
Bill Ikerd, why don’t you give
the girls a chance? We know of
several who have their eyes on
you.
And with that we close this col
umn once more, but only to await
further developments.
Approximately one-third of the
motor vehicles inspected by high
way patrolmen on the roads of
North Carolina last year were
found to have faulty equipment.
