BSO Entertains
Freshman At Teas
Delphians, Clios
Choose Pins
A new club precedent has been
started here this year by the Del
phian and Ciliosophic societies
with the ordering of society pins
Three-fourths of the Delphian mem
bers and a majority of the Clio
members have ordered pins which
indicates that the wearing of pins
may become a standard practice
here at Brevard College.
The triangular shaped Delphian
pin which is similar to the Clio
pin has the Greek letter D embossed
in gold on a black enamel back
ground. Both pins closely resemble
the expensive fratgrnity pins of
large universtiies.
The pin to be worn by officers of
the Delphian Society is distinguish
ed by a small gold link chain with a
gold ’60 pin.
Formality is the keynote in the
teas currently being given by the
Big Sisters Organization. Begun
several weeks ago and continuing
through the second week of No
vember, these teas are held each
Monday and Friday afternoons be
tween 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. in the
parlor of Annabelle Jones Hall.
Two Big Sisters combine their
groups for each tea and are re
sponsible for flowers arrangements
and refreshments. They chose two
teachers to participate in them
I along with Dean Plant.
(Memibers of the BSO are voted on
and chosen by the faculty and
graduating Big Sisters. They possess
the qualities of the ideal college
girl, including an average or better
academic record, a sense of respon
sibility and a warm out-going per
sonality. Their purpose is to make
each freshman girl feel at home at
Brevard College; and to help, in
any way possible, to acquaint her
with campus life.
Betty Neale is president of the
group and other members are:
Martha Adams, Marty Clark, Vir
ginia Doscher, Betty Eure, June
Feemster, Betty Hornaday, Susan
Hunt, Judy McManus, Chris Olsen,
Nancy Poley, Pat Pruitt, Betty
Sutherland, and Linda Sluder.
Famed organist Dr. Robert Baker
will appear at the Brevard Metho
dist church on Tuesday, November
10, for the dedication of the Beulah
McMinn Zachary Organ. This con
cert-recital will open Brevard Col
lege’s fall lyceum program.
Dr. Baker is the organist for the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church
and Temple Emanu-El in New York
and a teacher of organ at the Union
Theological Seminary. He holds a
master’s degree and a doctorate in
sacred music, and he has become
known as a concert recitalist, mak
ing tours which have taken him to
all parts of the United States.
In February of 1958, Dr. Baker
appeared in the initial recital on the
three-manual Schrant organ, just
purchased by the Methodist church.
The gift of the organ was made
possible by Miss Beulah Mae
Zachary, of Chicago and Brevard,
now deceased, who established an
organ fund in the memory of her
mother, Mrs. Beulah McMinn
Zachary.
Following Miss Zachary’s death,
the church set up a permanent and
active fund to be used for the
presentation of organ recitals and
other worthwhile programs.
The piece to be played in memory
of Mrs. Beulah McMinn Zachary
was commissioned ibv Mr. Thor
Johnson, former director of the Chi
cago Symphony Orchestra and
present drector of organ activities
at Northwestern College. The music
was composed by Vittori Giannini
this summer while he was visiting in
Brevard.
