The certificate is signed by Jack Vaughn, Director of the Peace Corps. The School Partnership Pro gram isa vital part of the work of the Peace Corps. Basically, the project involves building a school in some remote area of the world from funds raised from the area and from the school sponsoring the program. The project was assumed by Brevard College prior to the Christmas vacation last year. Funds were raised in various imaginative ways. The entire faculty and a majority of the campus organizations conducted the drive. Mrs. Sigmon and Mrs. Craig donated their ‘Vhite thumbs” and sold their bakery delights. A faculty auction was held — typing, home-cooked meals, trips to the airport, cookies, and bridge lessons were all subjected to bids. A facul ty talent show was held in ad dition to a student talent show. The dorms and the SGA provid ed a dance and gave all pro ceeds to the project. The West minster Fellowship gave their money from the concessions stand at the sophomore carni val for the program. However, the goal of SIOOO had not been reached. Local friends of Bre vard College helped end the campaign with a grand finale They aided in raising the final dollars to hit the goal. Miss Bobbie Jean Nicholson who was the “guiding light” of the project, was greatly re sponsible for its success. She led the faculty and students in a united drive for the money. Received along with the cer tificate was a letter from Mrs. Brenda A. Brown, Director of the School Partnership Pro gram. In part, Mrs. Brown wrote: “We are pleased to forward this certificate to you, as last ing evidence of your achieve ment, and as a reminder of the gratitude of the people in your partner community overseas and of the Peace Corps.” The school was constructed near Sangare - Feramoozkham, Iran during the summer. It stands as a tribute to world freedom and an aspiration for World peace.
