FOOTBALLL RIVALRY ENDS IN CLOSE CONTEST
Holidays To Start
On Friday, Nov. 28
Petition Brings
Desired Results
Thanksgiving holidays were orig
inally set for Thursday, November
27, only. It was felt that since many
of the students had been taking
advantage of the week-ends to go
home, a prolonged Thanksgiving
holiday would be unnecessary.
The student body, preferring to
have their holiday on Saturday in
stead of Thursday, started a peti
tion to apply to the administration
for the entire week-end as a holi
day. An overwhelming majority of
the school signed it, and immediate
action was taken by the faculty.
The faculty met November 5, and
reversed their original decision due
to the students’ petition. Thanks
giving holidays will now begin at
noon on Friday, November 28.
Miss Craig Has Book
Dedicated To Her
“Do you remember?” That ques
tion was asked Miss Marjorie Craig
recently about Burke Davis, a staff
writer for the Greensboro Daily
NewSi Miss Craig answered that she
remembered quite well when she
had Burke Davis in her creative
writing class at Greensboro high
school.
That was a number of years ago
and Miss Craig has not seen Mr.
Davis since that time.
What was the reason for that
probing question? Burke Davis
wrote Miss Craig this summer and
told her that he was dedicating an
hMorical novel, Yorktown, to her.
This is Davis’ third book, the first
■two being The Ragged Ones and
Whisper My Name.
In Yorktown the author tells
aibout the surrender of American
forces to Cornwallis at Yorktown.
The book is being published by
Rinehart and Company, Inc., New
York, and was released from the
press on November 1.
The dedication page reads: “For
Marjorie Craig—^who first encour
aged.”
Day Students Plan
Dance For Nov. 15
The Day Student’s organization,
with Alex Houston as president,
will sponsor a dance next Saturday
night, the 15th of November. The
dance will be held in the cafeteria
and an admission of 25 cents will
be charged. This will be a casual
laffair with square dancing as a
prominent feature.

Mrs. E. H. Ould Treats Students To
Her Lively And Vigorous Views On Life
Mrs. E. H. Ould, prominent speak
er and lecturer, appeared before
the student body of Brevard college
on the third, fourth, and fifth of
November. Mrs. Ould, speaking
with her us^ual amount of. humor
and good sense, was received with
a tremendous amount of enthusi
asm by the students.
Mrs. Ould is a very familiar
speaker throughout the state as
well as in most other sections of
the south. She has gained national
acclaim as one of the best and most
interesting lecturers on the prob
lems of youth and is in constant
demand. Many of the college stu
dents had heard her previously in
the courses on “Courtship and
Marriage,” which she conducts an
nually in many of the church-affil
iated training schools in this state.
To those who had not previously
heard her, it was a real treat and
a renewed treat to the students
who had already heard her.
President Stamey and Dean Ste
venson both felt that the college
was indeed fortunate in securing
Mrs. Ould for this lecture series.
Mr. Stamey said in his introduc
tion that he felt that there was no
one more capable of helping young
people of college age to solvg their
proiblems than she. In Mrs. Ould,
said Mr. Stamey, the students will
find a person who can give them an
answer to many of those everyday
problems that continually come up
in the average life.
Mrs. Ould, no doubt, attributes
much of her understanding of
these problems to being the mother
of three children and of course
continually having to cope with
their problems. In addition to being
a mother of three children, she is
a grandmother of nine children. In
the past she has toeen a school

HOMECOMING
Reunion with old classmates and
friends was the keynote for the re
turning alumni during the Home
coming week end. Most of the re
turning alumni were from last
year’s graduating class. They began
arriving late Friday afternoon and
it was not until Sunday night that
the familiar voices of alumni were
completely gone from the campus.
For many, the high point of the
week-end was the traditional Home
coming dance sponsored, as always,
by the Euterpeans and Clios. The
chapel was selected as the place
where it would be held, marking the
fii’st time the auditorium had been
used for such a purpose. People at
tending the dance were heard to
remark that it was the most ibeau-
tifully decorated dance they had
been to yet on campus.
Tommy Langley’s eight - piece
band furnished the music for the
dancing and part of the entertain
ment. From 10:00 to 10:30 there
v/as a pause in the dancing and en
tertainment was provided for the
guests. A trio, known as the “Bluz-
zettes,” composed of Hilda Nor-
v/ood, Faye Smith and Shirley
Johnson sang. Faye Smith also sang
a solo, “Blue Moon.” Rachel Mea-
ders sang “Wish You Were Here,”
and “AU The Things You Are.”
Alex Houston entertained with his
ventriloquist act.
Nancy Carson, president of the
Euiterpeans, gave the welcoming
speech and both she and Stowe
Hull were recognized as the presi
dents of the societies sponsoring
the dance.
This gala event was climaxed by
the crowning of Nancy Setzer,
sponsored by the Clios, and Arthur
King, sponsored by the Christian

Delphians Win Title
By Tight 6-0 Score
The Delphian society managed to-
sneak by the Cliosophic society six
to nothing in the final game of the
intramural football league.
The game showed the spirit of
good fellowship that has been
stressed throughout the season. In
the last two games the score has
been indicative of the close play
of the two teams. The hard-charg-
ing defensive line of the Delphians
has proven the deciding factor in
the games so far this season. Jim
Elliott and Chunk Chisholm, the
'two heavies of the Delphians, made
the Clio’s usual passing attack al
most suicidal, but in doing sO'
brought out a running attack which
continually moved the Delphians
back into the shadow of their own
goal post. The winning offense was
paced by Don Malcolm and Arthur
King. A pass from Malcolm to Bill
Eller scored the only touchdown
and a pass for the extra point was
missed.
Now that intramurals are over in
football, Coach Fitzpatrick plans to-
start immediately into the basket
ball program. A list of the games
will be made public as soon as the-
schedule is completed.
Clio Carnival Is
Termed Big Success
The annual fall carnival was held
on October 30 in the recreation
room of Bi;evard college. This year,
the cairriival was held under the
sponsorship of the Cliosophic so
ciety.
The carnival featured this year
the House of Horrors, and the For
tune Teller. These two stayed
packed throughout the night, and
were enjoyed by everyone. Other
attractions were the seven won
ders of the world, fishing, cake
walks and dancing. The cake walks
in particular proved also to be a
success with the students. Home
made cakes were the prizes for the
cake walks (what the students whO'.
ate the cakes want to know, is whoj
made them at home?).
All of the students who attended
the carnival seemed to have gotten
into the Halloween spirit a day
early and enjoyed it thoroughly.
President of the Cliosophics, StowC'
Hull, was very pleased with the re
sults.
In the opinion of all who attend
ed the carnival, the outstanding per
sonality was the fortune teller of
the night, June Craft. June showed
great originality in predicting the
futures and outlining the past of
all who came to her seeking a
glimpse into their own deep dark
secrets.
