Appalachia Is Topic At Assembly
Several Techniques
Presented In Show
An abundance of talent has
.een shown in the Freshman
Spring Art Show. The walls of
Dunham lobby are covered with
paintings which show the prom
ise of the artists. The works
are done in several techniques;
crayon, ink, pencil, charcoal,
and pastel, to name a few.
The Freshman exhibit is the
finest, representing young ar-
lists that has been shown in
Dunham. The paintings _ are not
restricted to one subject or
theme. They show thought,
planning, technique, talent, and
success.
Particularly outstanding is
the large study of a man’s body
done in red crayon, by Susan
Zrung. The background is done
in insigni>ficant dark tones con
trasting with the bright red
body of the man. The man is
not a man as you would picture
it, Instead, it is a study in
smooth flesh and muscle. The
man appears to be coming out
of the picture, like a superim
posed human.
Noris Weldon has captured a
fleeting moment of movement
in his painting of a figure run
ning before the headlights of
a car. The emotion of fright is
portrayed as the small red fig
ure dashes before the ominous
headlights.
The most realistic painting is
done in crayon resist. A soldier
is sitting by a fire in the night,
engulfed by a black void. He
shows no emotion, only the life
less expression of a boy away
from home.
Several of the most impres
sive works are the pencil
sketches which involve a con
glomerate still - life scene. On
ly a pencil was used to repro
duce the scene on paper.
The shading to show shad
ows and light was meticulously
done, and the detail shows the
interest of the artist.
The Freshman artists whose
works are on exhibit should be
congratulated. They show tal
ent, and also the initiative to
develop it. They do not mere
ly make designs and then col
or them; they set a pattern and
develop it into art.

Cecil Hill
Speaks On
Legal Views
Gay 90’s
Come To BC
Mrs. Harris’ three sociology
classes were honored to have
Mr. Cecil Hill, Attorney-at-Law
in Brevard, speak to theni on
the legal aspects of marriage,
particularly in North Carolina.
Mr. Hill began his talk by
listing the requirements for
marriage in this state and men
tioning the state’s respon
sibility to respect and go along
with the laws of other states
He later went on to discuss
the grounds and rules for an
nulment, a legal separation, and
divorce. Mr. Hill pointed out,
however, that North CaroUna
does not advocate divorce at all,
if there is any possible way or
reconciliation.
Mr. Hill followed this with
the importance of a will and
the definite advantages of such

Mrs. Ruth Hunter, Mrs. Kay
Storrs, and Mrs. Pat Fuleihan
presented a “Gay Nineties pro
gram on April 22.
The narrator of the program
was Mrs. Fuhelishan; Mrs.
Slorrs played the piano; and the

the patriotic World War I sengs.
Among those were the favorites,
'Over There” and “Johnny

pies of jazz and blues were al
so sung.
Mrs. Hunter sang these songs,
and Mrs. Storrs played them, in

U. S. ^
A reception was held for the

Mrs. Stokely
Advised BC'ers
To Stay Home
Mrs. Wilma Dykeman Stoke
ly, well-known author, spoke to
the students of Brevard College
in an assembly, April 20. She
gave an interesting and infor
mative talk on the people of
the mountains, their goals, and
ambitions.
The mountain people are
more intelligent than common
folklore holds them, according
to Mrs. Dykeman. She illustrat
ed this by the example of Mr.
Harry H. Straus, who began the
Ecusta Plant (now part of Olin
Mathieson.) He brought some
Germans over to teach the na
tives how to run it—they learn
ed in a tremendously short time.
She also said that the mountain
people, not merely the moun
tains, must be developed in
order to bring others in the
area.
Mrs. Dykeman illustrated her
speech with vivid descriptions
by urging the students to stay
in the mountains and make a
life here. Her well-constructed
speech has prompted the read
ing of many of her books which
are to be found in the Brevard
College library. Those books
are THE FRENCH BROAD,
NEITHER BLACK NOR WHITE,
SEEDS OF SOUTHERN
CHANGE, THE TALL WOMAN,
and PROPHET OF PLENTY.
