Campus Elections
Now that campus elections are over for another year,
I hope that everyone is satisfied with the returns from the
polls and will pledge his talents and abilities to back up
the new officers in everything that they undertake as rep
resentatives of the student government on the campus.
The proposition of electing leaders for a student body
is a serious one; but with the proper considerations having
been made before casting our ballots, we ought not to
^ipe now about who was chosen. The only time we are
justified in griping about officers after they have been
elected is when we have some constructive criticism to of
fer which might help to make campus situations better.
If the person whom you voted for won, and if he doesn’t
manipulate his office as you think he should, it is then
your duty to bring his campaign platform before him and
suggest that he live up to his previously outlined program
of government. In no other situation than this can we
gripe now, so, if there are grudges and sentiments of
ill-will, keep them to yourself and everything will work
out for the better.
Next year we hope to have leading the students
the most active and well-trained officers that the Bre
vard campus has ever had since the founding of the
college in 1934. That’s a record to beat, but with the
present material which we have to work with, we can
do it. They’re in there now, and they are going to need
co-operation and support from every hand. Let’s see
that they get it.

Pine Whispers |
I
They tell me that April showers
bring May flowers, but lately I’ve
seen some unusual blossoms on
the campus. Maybe these are the
flowers of love, but they surely do
look good.
Seems that Jean Arledge just
can’t make up her mind. First
it’s Bonner, then “Fats,” and then
Bonner again! Or is it somebody
else by this time?
Margaret Saunders, have you
told the boy at home about your
movie date with Bill Bigham?
Didn’t Dottie Gay and Ray Cain
look sweet holding hands the oth
er night?
Just what was Tommy Caldwell
doing with his pajamas and shav
ing kit when he left West Hall
last Monday? Had you really been
to the infirmary, Tom?
Have you seen the beautiful
diamond Frances S. got Easter?
She says the date hasn’t been set
yet, but we know she and Walt
will be happy as Mr. and Mrs.
Marty Bishop, we don’t want
you pining way over that hand
some Drifter, though we wouldn’t
blame you if you did.
Certainly do wish that we knew
what Winthrop has that Brevard
doesn’t. Maybe Fetcher, Hoge-
wood, or Butchie could tell us.
Now, how do you like that about
Joanne and this person, Ricky,
Bill?
Nancy Suttles and Allen Cooley
seemed to be having an interest
ing conversation the other day.
Could this mean anything?
The old idea of dating a aay
student seems to be reversed with
Barbara Scroggs and Tom-Hooper.
Swell little old idea, though, isn’t
it, Barbara?
Natalie, ■ what was so important
about that letter you were flash
ing around last Sunday? Was it
from “the one”?
Emma surely did seem worried
when Mack told her he wasn’t
coming back to school last week
end. That's the way. Mack, keep
’em guessing.
Mary Ann and Dick are still go
ing strong, we see. Keep it up,
kids.
Norma Jean really rates. She
went to the Delphian picnic with
Joe, to church with a week end
visitor, and to the movie the nejct
night with George. Well, maybe
she’s trying to prove that variety
is the spice of life.
We hear that Rod called Gladys
the other night. Could this mean
that they’re going to give it an
other try?
Wonder if Barbara and Eddie
are trying to get up a case. Seems
that way from here.
Joyce is really excited about
Dwight’s coming this week end.
And who wouldn’t be? Just every
girl doesn’t have the title of May
Queen and a King to go with it.
I guess that it’s inevitable that
college boys will date high school
girls, so some of our males were
taken off the eligible list by the
girls up town. Tsk, tsk, girls-of-
the-campus, let’s see what’s behind
Creative Writing
Cla:8s Held Second
Public Recitation
Recently the creative writing
class, taught by Miss Marjorie
Craig, gave its second recital
of the semester. The purpose of
this program was to acquaint the
students with some of the short
stories of the contemporary writ
ers of America.
The program was given dmng
the regular class meeting, and
was patterned after the first one
which the class gave. Joyce Wil
helm gave the introduction and
was program chairman. She intro
duced the members of the class
who read their original short
stories. Mary Lib Latham read
her story entitled “Simple” and
the other students followed. J. C.
Grose read “The Weak Link”;
“Harriet” was given by Doreen
Pearson; Evelyn Eller presented
her story, “Miss Annie;” Eleanor
Orr told of getting up at “Four
A. M.,” and Evon Davidson read
“His Number Was Up.”
Refreshments were served by
another member of the' class,
Bette Cook. Guests to the class
included several students and fac
ulty members who had been in
vited to the recitation by the mem
bers of the creative writing class.
In the near future the class will
hold another open meeting, the
theme of which will be personal
essays.
Phi Theta Kappa
Convention Held
At Tyler, Texas
The national convention of Phi
Theta Kappa was held recently in
Tyler, Texas, at the junior college
that is situated in that city. The
convention lasted three days, from
April 20 through 22.
The first day of the meeting
was given over to registration,
with a buffet supper served to
delegates that evening. Other
points of interest on the program
for the week end were a tour of a
Texas oil field, a formal dance
and banquet, a driU by the famed
Apache Belles, and an outing in
the park climaxed by a barbecue,
in addition to the various business
meetings of all the delegates.
The college newspaper staff
published a souvenir issue of the
student paper, “The Pow-Wow,”
in order to better acquaint the del
egates with the college and the
City of Roses, as Tyler is called.
None of the members of Bre
vard’s Phi Theta Kappa chapter
was able to make the trip because
of the long distance to the con
vention site.
all this.
Betsy Bowman, are you desert
ing all the coUege boys, now that
Bill’s been here?
What with all the picnics and
other outings coming off now, we
hope to see many more new cou'
pies. What say, folks?
