High educational standards have been set and maintained, so that to day Brevard is fully accredited by the N. C. Dept, of Education, the University Senate of The Methodisit Church, aind the South ern Association of Colleges and Schools. The reputation of the College is unparalleled in the South, and the fact that nearly one-half of Brevard’s students come from outside N. C. is test imony to the widespread appeal of the kind of education which it offers. Yet the history of the College has not ended. Today it is in the midst of a development pro gram which will provide new facilities within which the aca demic program and community life of the College can be con tinued and improved.

The purpose of the Nemos is to promote social activity and raise social standards on the campus of Brevard College. Jackie Howie, president of the Mnemosyneam Society, hopes not only to promote more social activities between Nemos and Delphians, but also to secure more study hours for boys and girls to study together. There is also in the planning a special social event which has never been held at Brevard College. President of the Delphians, Charles Teague, is planning to set up a study room specifically for Delphian club members. The Delphians will stress unity and organization in the club. The Delphians will also try to ac quire a “good” band, not an or chestra to play for the dance that they sponsor during the year. Claude Garrett, president of the Cliosophic Society, plans to make the society more limited and selective by only accepting the best of freshman pledges. The constitution will be revised and brought up to date. Regu larly scheduled meetings will be organized by the club. In addi tion to this, one social activity a month will be sponsored by the Clios. The Euterps, sister society of the Clios, is guided by Louise Causey. This year they hope to create more interest in campus activities and provide more so cial outlets for the students. The society will provide an opportu nity to develop friendships among the girls of the society. Miss Causey also plans a num ber of surprises for the new members which cannot be dis closed at this time. The Nemos, Delphians, Clios, and Euterps are definitely plan ning a vigorous social program for the 65-66 year. Under the leadership of these four capa ble students, the year should prove to be one of the most beneficial to the clubs and to the students at Brevard College. tiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiianitiMiiiiiiiMiiiiiii Tankersley's Florist BREVARD, N.

T Co-Ed Theatre As opening day bursts upon Jones Hall with its unconfined chaos, the sole shining lights in the confusion are the Big Sis ters, wilio are on the scene to v/elcome the new girls. Each Big Sister has at least nine Little Sisters. She greets them, sees that they get to their rooms, and makes sure that they meet other girls and are not left out. When everyone has arrived, a Big Sister meets with all her Little Sisters and discusses the rules of the college. One of the rewards of being a Big Sister, as stated by a former Sister, is “Watching their horror at learning the rules and regula tions. Their expressions are hil arious.” Life for a Big Sister is never dull. In the space of a few min utes, three Little Sisters may arrive at once, another one may be lost somewhere in the depths of the girls’ dormitory, and still another may be crying. As one Big Sis grimly put it, “You have to be prepared for anything and everything.” Big Sisters are chosen by the teachers from a list of those girls wihose C^avei^age makes them eligible. Qualities looked for in a prospective Sister are dependability, a willingness to be helpful, an outgoing person ality, an interest in the college, and an u-on nerve. Faced with a sometimes semi - hysterical fledging who has just been boot ed out of the nest, a Big Sisier may be inclined to say, “Forget it!” Instead, she must bolster her courage and plunge gamely onward. Motherhood will never be the same for these mothers- away-from-home. MORRIS PHARMACY Your Family Drug Store Corner Main and Broad STA-PREST Never Needs Ironing!
