WNC Portrayed
The AAUW of Brevard s^n-
sored 'The Vanishing Frontier’,
a movie about Western North
Carolina, on January 25 in Dun
ham Auditorium.
The life of the mountaineer
with its very real advantages aM
disadvantages was presented in
order to make clear the urgen
cy needed in procuring help for
these people, many of whom are
direct descendents of the Scots
or of Daniel Boone and other
frontier figures.
Another of this series will be
shown on February 28 at 7.30.
Composed of nine enthusias
tic young writers, the Creative
writing class held its first class
period on Thursday, January
20, 1966. Mr. Edwin Williams,
who is the class instructor ,dis
cussed with the class some of
the different types of writing.
The purpose of the class is to
give the young writer a chance
to see whether or not he or she
does have real talent and, if so,
to give him a chance to develop
this talent. The class will use
as a textbook THE YOUNG
WRITER AT WORK.
The class will begin with
some of the simpler forms of
writing and hopes to progress
to poetry later on in the se
mester. Some of the types of
writing to be covered are the
short story, the essay, descrip
tions, and poetry. It is hoped
that some of the material will
be good enough to merit publi
cation.
Members of the class are
Mary Ruth English, Jean Har
rison, Herschel Murphy, Gail
Drake, Alan Holt, Diane War
man, Paul Allen, and Carolyn
Henderson.
