And Us
The students of Brevard College are to be congrat
ulated this year on their use of the soda shop, one of
Hie favorite places on campus. The care of it and gen
eral attitude toward it are excellent.
Mr. Ben “Pop” Kennerly, manager of the bookstore-
soda shop, recently remarked that the students as a
whole seem happy this year and they bring this spirit
with them to the soda shcp.
As an example of the excellent spirit of cooperation,
“Pop” told of a day not long ago when the floors of
iihie soda shop had to be waxed, and the shop was
closed for a few hours. He wisely realized that stu-
ents could find recreation outside during the after
noon and it might suit them better to have it closed
during these hours and opened at night rather than
opeined in the afternoon and closed at night. He said
the student were very understanding, and realized
fully the problems involved in keeping the soda shop
going.
But, in patting ourselves on the back, let us realize
that “Pop” is doing everything he can to make the
soda shop OURS, a place for relaxation and enjoy-
m-ent. Without his understanding of us and his ef
forts to please us, the soda shop would not mean
half as much to us as it does now.
So may we pause to give both congratulations and
thanks to some very deserving persons.

MUSIC NOTES
A Man With A Dream
Dr. Coltrane was a man possessed with a dream.
His dream? That all students who desired an educa
tion should have one — regardless of finances.
In the de'pression years, when he began Brevard
College, he had plenty of students, plenty of ideas,
and few resources.
In his big, rambling house, many students lived,
working at some chore to pay for their board. The
diorms were filled to twice the capacity, houses near
the college were rented and converted to dorms. The
old Virginia Lodge was used for years.
Mrs. J. J. Stevenson recalls that there was never
a time he was not helping at least one student with
his financial problems.
Dreams could be acMeved only by work: work
should be for something worthwhile — he made ev
eryone feel that they were getting something worth
while. Between faculty and students there was a
warm, friendly relatiomship, a close rap'port between
everyone on campus.
He left US this legacy. He left a friendly school.
He left an opportunity for students in Transylvania
to attend a® day-students.
Yes, Dr. Coltrane was a man with a dream.
Look Here For Recreation
Fo'r students who have the attitude that Brevard
is just a one-'horse town where they can’t — just
ean't — find anything to occupy their time, that is, ex
cluding the movies perhaps, the bowling alley, and,
oh yes, the pool rooms for the boys: for you students,
here are joyous tidings that you might have over-
kioked. Come back to Brevard Campus. Naturally,
just walking through it, you w'ouldn’t com'pletely dis
cover the answer. But let’s plow, for a little while, a
bit deeper. What do you like? What are you inter
ested in? In religion? In Sports? In nature? In writ
ing? In photography? In dramatics? In music? Well,
stopping here to catch a breath, let’s explore these
topics. Take religion: did you know that there are
five religious organizations on campus? For Metho
dists, there is the Methodist Student Fellowship; for

Honor Society
Organizes For
Academic Year
On Friday, Odtaber 15, the

hours in 'the semester prior to

r-:r cent of 'the sltudenlt bory.

Mr. Kenneth DuBois is the

Diiscu'ssio«s consisted of pro-
mctinig the pulblicity of the oluh.
Suggestions were heard for fu
ture programs 'Of pubMc d'eibates
land otiher iinteresiting perfor
mances SO that 'thl3i Students
could become better acquainted
with the eluib. P^'aes for the fu
ture are now incomplete, but
the oluib hopes to 'be v°ry active
throughout the year.

Tiredness seeps up and
aiiound us sltealthily; it gradu
ally takes one part of 'the body
and than andther. And finally
it invades the mind. It leaves no
strength nor will to 'try to push
it away, so there is no choice
bdt to let it retn'Jain for the pres
ent.
In (ilts imvaidilng of the miind,
this tiredness tafees over any
peace that miglht have been
(here; 'but it leaves worries,
doutats, feairs. Thoughts of these
trace again .and 'again, slowly,
ov:sr the siaime pathis they onlce
raced around and we Cannot
help imagining thait it ■w'oiuild be
pleiasaint to be lalble to stop
thinlking for a while.
We iseek isolace toult know not
where to turn-; we siaek under
standing ibult only filnd others
wanting to (be umdensitood; we
seeJk resit but rea'lize the kind
of rest we n:©d comes not £rom
decreased activity or sleep, but
frcm peace of mind.
So again our siame wearying
thoughiJs start — 'bult, then, they
never aotuail'ly winded or even
paused. We question 'again and
again until it seems imipossiM>e
to queisition ainy longer without
finding Sin answer — some
answer; any answer.
So 'we quEistion again and
those salrnie thoughts ibegin wind
ing slowly, trying to find their
way tlbrough 'the fog of tired-
neps that seems neve'r-endd'ng.
Surely, thO'Uiglh, if we nsmiaiin
'true ito ourselves a light will
■gleam through th^at fog aind
■show U's the wiay, however dim
it mlay toe. And, suri:fly, too, this
'light lis worth waiting for, how
ever ilong it may 'take to pierce
the itiredness, the quesitions, the
worries, fears, and doulbtis.

Is yours a different denomination? Take the pero-

Nature lovers? Have you heard of the Mountaineer
club? What better opportunity to enjoy nature than
to be right in her midst? True, the Mountaineers is a
hiking club; but one who truly loves beauty in nature
would certainly be willing to exert a 'bit of effort and
energy to experience her magnificent beauty.
Do you enjoy writing? Did you know that the PER-
TELOTE staff or the CLARION staff is eager to train
new hands?
Could be that you are a photographer at heart. Did
you notice the bulletin board in Dunham Hall that
mentioned the new Camera Club being established’
Here is your opportunity to develop your talent.
“To be, or not to be, that is the question. . .” Have
you ever wanted to quote these famous words on
stage. Do you like acting? The Masquers is a dramatic
society on campus. Why not give it a try?
These are only a few of the many possibilities of
fered hep on campus to take up your free time —
tme that you d like to spend away from books but
time that you’d like to use profitably. Think a 'min-
