Society fever has affected nearly
ail Brevard students but so far no
one has been sent to the infirmary
because of it. If the freshmen have
not learned anything else about
Brevard they know that there are
four societies on campus.
Nancy Carson, president of the
Eaterpeans, has worked hard to
make the name Eulterpean a by
word on campus. Most of the fresh
man dorm students were initiated
into this society. They were asked
to do everything from shining shoes
to selling old Clarions (Editor’s
note: The Clarion staff reaped no
financial benefits). The societies
first project will be the Homecom'
ing dance.
Carolyn B. Freeman, president of
the Mnemosynean society which at
tracted the town students, decided
that there would be no initiation.
The society hopes to sponsor a fund-
raising card party in the near fu
ture, but no date has been set. The
members also, plan to make a proj-
ect of giving underprivileged chil
dren a day of fun.
Only President Stowe Hull and
two other members returned to the
Cliosophic society this year, but
they were able to inlterest some 20
freshmen in joining them. The
members hope to start a scrap-book
this year, in order to keep the
names and addresses of members
and clippings of events which take
place during the year.
Melvin McIntosh, president of
the Delphians, had the pleasure of
watching his team hold the Clio’s
football team scoreless in a game
played recently. Jim Elliott, Wal
lace Honeycutt, and Bob Mauldin
were among the outstanding play-
erf of the afternoon.
All societies are hoping to see all
old members during Homecoming.

Vice President Is
Chosen By Council

is now a memlber of the United
States navy and, therefore. Bob
Walton, president of the student
body asked for petitions to be
turned in by people interested in
nmning for the office.
During the period assigned for
the petitions to come in there were
none handed in and, therefore, the
student council acting according to
designated procedure, voted for the
new vice-president. Bill Eller and

best to be an active member and
fulfill my duties as I see them.”
