temptations in the beginning or

Ilf them will leave their imprint
upon the history which is still
in the making.
On the whole, the students
agreed that the programs gave
them a better understanding of
their school and its customs.
Dear Student Leaders,
Thank you for the help and consideration you
have given us since we arrived on campus. From
carrying luggage for the girls to getting us to meet
ings on time, you have been there when a helping
hand was needed.
But being helpful is not really the most irnpor-
tant thing you’ve done for us. Just being our friends
and showing us that we are wanted hore at Brevard
College is more appreciated than you will ever know.
Each of you has gone out of his way to do that.
If we can help the 1966 freshman class as much
as you have helped us, we can truthfully pay that
we have received much benefit from our first year
at Brevard.
Sincerely,
Freshman Class
Mr. Harvey Miller, Mrs. Ruth Alex-
asder, and Mrs. Harris lead in the
Brevard College instructors at FALL
CONVOCATION.
