Brevard College Welcomes New Faculty Members

Save A Child
Through the efforts of the Bre
vard College Student Govern
ment Association, the Methodist
Student Fellowship and other
student organizations, a nine-
year-old Korean lad can eat
ag^in. ^
Last year, members of the
Inner Society Council staged aj
unique program for the sponsor
ship of a young child in a for-1
eign country. This was done,
through the “Save the Children
Federation” and efforts of fac
ulty members and students. ■
“Shares were sold at 50 cents
each and a sum total of $200 was
donated for this purpose.
Yung Hwan Yoon is a fourth
grade pupil of primary school.
He is in good health and attends
school regularly, six days a
week. He has five sisters, rang
ing in age from six to twenty
years.
The family is native of Seoul,
Korea. The mother works for
the family living by peddling
minor daily articles in the mar
ket place. The father died of.
illness in May of this year. His
death put the family in a des
perate situation.
Now the family lives in a sin
gle rented room on the outskirts
of Seoul. The main part of
their family income comes from
the wages the second elder sister
makes working as an office girl
for Korea Life Insurance Com
pany. She obtained the position
as a result of her school stand
ing. She is attending night class
es in the first grade of high
school. They are both scholar
ship students. Otherwise, it
would make a heavy burden on
the family for there is no free
schooling in Korea. Still, their
meager income is small to me«t
the needs of living. Sponsor
ship not only promotes the wel
fare of the boy but encourageis
the whole family as well.
The “Save the Children Fed
eration” requires a fee of $150
for each child sponsored. Since
$200 were collected last year,
there was a $50 surplus. This

Brevard Little Theatre
To Start Season With
“Charley’s Aunt”-Nov. 16
By JEANETTE AUSTIN
The Brevard Little Theatre
welcomes members of the fresh
man and sophomore class as well
as new and returning members
of the faculty to the town of
Brevard.
Mel Everingham, President, in
vites you to “join our enthusi
astic group and to participate in
any of the various phases of the
atrical work in which you might
be interested — acting, make-up,
art, costumes, stage and hand
props, lighting, and the build
ing and setting up of stage sets.
Through these means of self-ex
pression and the developing of
talents that are perhaps unknown
to you, you can be of real help
to our organization and, more
important, become an integral
part of the community in which
you will be living for one or two
years.
“We who live in Brevard con

BOBBIE JEAN NICHOLSON
Miss Bobbie Jean Nicholson
has returned from a year’s leave
: of absence to head the Brevard
College Department of Chemis-
try.
I Miss Nicholson was granted
the leave of absence m I960 to
'continue work on her doctorate
' from Vanderbilt University
I Nashville, Tennessee.
After receiving her A.A. ue
gree from Mars Hill College, Miss
Sholson attended Furman Un-

then went to Michigan State Un
iversity where she secure

our plays in the well-equipped
Campus Center Auditorium.
Although these modern facil
ities will not be available to us
this year, we congratulate the
college on its growth and ex
pansion which has necessarily
curtailed the use of the auditor
ium for outside activities,” Mr.
Everingham continued.
BLT’s first production will be
"Charley’s Aunt”, a world-fam
ous comedy by Brandon Thom
as, which is guaranteed to bring
tears of laughter. It will be pre
sented November 16 and 17 in
the American Legion Hall in Bre
vard which is within walking dis
tance of the college. Leaving
the college campus from Johnson
Street, which originates directly
in front of the college power
plant, one has only to walk two
blocks up the hill to the inter
section of Jordan Street.
Try-outs for “Charley’s Aunt”
were held Monday evening and
the casting committee is happy
to announce that among those
selected to take acting roles are
Oscar Smith and Larry Davis.
Oscar, who was very active
with BLT last year as a member
of the back-stage crew in “Ma
jority of One” and as the butler
in “Watch on the Rhine”, will
play the part of Jack Chesney,
an undergraduate at Oxford Col
lege, who laughs his way through
life and who through his “drive”
sets the pace of the play. Bras-
sett, college manservant, will be
played by Larry Davis.
The title role in “Charley’s
Aunt” is played by a man dress
ed in women’s attire, complete
with long dress, petticoats and
a wig. This quick change of
gender and costume is necessi
tated by the fact that the girl
friends will not accept a dinner
engagement with the college stu
dents without the chaperoneage
of Charley’s rich aunt from Bra
zil, whom they have been invited
to meet.
When the arrival of the real
— Turn to Page Four
On Brevard campus this year,
the old question “Where are you
from?” is frequently being an
swered, “Florida, Virginia, New
York, Pennsylvania,” or various
other states, both Northern and
Southern.
Although, as in years past, the
majority of Brevard’s students
are from North Carolina, approx
imately 42 per cent of the total
enrollment are from other states.
There are 242 fulLtime students
from North Carolina, represent
ing 50 of the state’s counties. In
comparison, 172 students are en
rolled from 17 other states and
the District of Columbia. The
states represented include: Ala
bama, Connecticut, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts,
Maryland, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Carolina, Tennes
see, Virginia, West Virginia, and
Wyoming.
In addition, 4 Cuban students
and 1 student from Borneo are
enrolled, bringing the total en
rollment to 419.
When asked why they chose
Brevard College, out-of-state stu
dents most often answer that
they had heard of the beautiful
setting of the campus, the friend
ly community life, and the excel
lence of the faculty and admin
istration.
Brevard College has added a
number of new faculty members
