In Dunham
By John Gosnell
Unapplauded, relatively un
noticed, but certainly not unin
teresting are many art pieces by
college freshmen now unveiled
to the inquisitive public in an
other art exhibition in the Art
Lab, Basement Dunham.
In an exhibit of this nature,
a not-particularly-artistic stu
dent is given a chance to see, to
scrutinize, to criticize the work
of the artist-in-tratning. Some
self-acclaimed student critics,
such as this layman, may dis
cover that there are on display
many fine drawings and paint
ings, some not as outstanding as
others, but all with one notice
able characteristic; each stu
dent’s personal style is carried
from one aspect of painting to
?nother. For instance, the crit
ic can see basic standards of
style whether the painting be of
oils, water colors, crayon-chalk,
■or pencil. One might look for
Big Sisters
Sponsor Teas
The second of the series of
Big Sister Teas was held Sun
day afternoon March 21, at Dean
Willoughby Jarrell’s home.
Little Sisters of Linda Vogel,
Donna Nichols, Sandra English
and Frances Lynch attended the
Tea.
The Big Sisters are sponsor
ing these Teas so that the girls
may get acquainted with their
teachers. All of the freshmen
girls will be invited to a Tea
sometime during the rest of the
year.
the manner in which a particu
lar artist draws his shadows or
corners or surfaces or how he
proportions his object or objects
in relation to the actual ratio.
By searching for small detail
and noticing certain peculari-
ties, an artist’s collection of
works can be chosen without
looking at the lower right com
er, or wherever it may be, for
his signature. This acknowledg
ment, and subsequent desire for
appreciation, can soon lead to a
vivid interest in what creation is
being done in the small confines
of the Art Department.
Right now, should you pay the
collection a visit, you would
find different drawings and
paintings of the same objects,
which serve as models. Notice
points of each picture; compare
the various sheets of the same
model; make a critical decision.
After all, one must remember
that these students are not yet
professionals, in the true sense
of the word, but are 3ust stu
dents, that are being guided m
artistic pathways where criti
cism is necessary and a com
pliment is sometimes saving.
Take a few minutes, won’t
you? Find out what “crayon
resist” means. Ask Prof. Mur
ray about that which you don t
Imderstand. And there's .IwaJs
that far-out chance that you
might be enlightened
Anyone versed, or even semi
versed in drama is familiar with
the name Tennessee Williams.
The son of a traveling shoe
salesman, young Thomas Lanier
Williams attended the Univer
sity of Missouri, where his de
vout labors of writing led him
to fail an ROTC course. Forced
to work at a shoe factory, he
remained thus employed for two
vears, finally returning to col
lege. After graduation from the
University of Iowa, he traversed
the United States, working at
almost every conceivable type
of job.
A writer of sorts, William’s
name had become well known
in theatrical circles by 1930. He
wrote several plays, which were
moderately successful. FinaUy,
in 1945, he scored beautifully
with The Glass Menagerie, an
almost immediate success. The
play won the New York Drama
Critics’ Circle Award, as did a
later work entitled A Streetcar
Named Desire, also by Williams.
Who said nothing ever hap
pens at Brevard? Anyone pass
ing by the Campus Center Build
ing April 14th or 15th might
wonder at the apparently riot
ous happenings within. Civil
Rights demonstration? Prohibi
tionist riot? Hardly. Sopho
mores may remember Moliere’s
The Imaginary Invalid. Mr. Alan
Wallace, Brevard’s directing
genius, has struck again.
The sign says The Glass Men
agerie. The applause says it’s
great. The bulging house says
it’s successful. The people say
it’s Mr. Wallace.
Can lightning strike twice in
the Campus Center Building?
Be there and find out.
On Thursday, March 25, the
Brevard College Glee Club be
gan an eight-day musical tour of

ous sections of North Carolina.

the Glee Club and college facul

in Morganton and at the N. C.
State School for the Blind in
Raleigh. Seven of these pro
grams are to consist of religious
compositions and four are to be

holtz, Brahms, and by M. Thom
as Cousins, a former faculty
member of the college.
The majority of the songs per
