You are my superior; I am your inferior. I am low now, but I shall reign on high when I become
an Euterpean.
Methodist Church To
Move Nearer Campus
At the request of the Official
Board of the First Methodist
Church of Brevard, the Board of
Trustees of Brevard college voted
unanimously at their spring meet
ing to convey to them a tract of
land across the street from the
main entrance to the college to be
used as the location of a new
church plant. Financial plans are
proceeding with the view of be
ginning construction within the
next year. This move gives further
evidence of mutual cooperation be
tween the college and the local
Methodist Church.
An attractive church edifice will
lend beauty and dignity to the en
trance of the campus. The new lo
cation will afford ample parking
space for the growing Methodist
Church of Brevard.

Rat Week Hits All
The Low Freshmen
“Rat” week at Brevard college
brought many new and unexpected
thrills. The various literary socie
ties on the campus took ample op
portunity to indoctrinate their new
members into the trials and tribu
lations of club life.
As the above picture will attest,
the most interesting part of the
“rat” exercises was the most un
usual dress. The Euterpeans and
the Mnemosyneans make up the
girls groups, and the Delphians and
the Cliosophics reign supreme for
the boys.
With clothes astray and hair in
curlers, the Euterpeans were the
first brave souls to venture forth
into a campus of laughs. The mirth
spread all over Brevard and even
stretched forth into the distant
parts of Transylvania county as sev
eral boys found themselves strand
ed in parts of the not too inviting
mountain areas.
In addition to the literary socie
ties, there are many Other organi
zations on the campus that have
been organizing and inducting new
members since rush week was offi
cially declared.
The two publications, the Perte-
lote and the Clarion, report that
their staffs have been practcially
completed and that only a few more
positions are open.
