Drama Club’s “Barn”
Makes Its Big Debut
Last Thursday night, Brevard
College witnessed the dedica
tion of a new and unique type
of theater. The barn, previous
ly used by the music depart
ment, has undergone first stages
of renovation to be henceforth
used by the college dramatics
department.
Beginning at 8:00 Thanksgiv
ing evening, open house, or
“open bam” if you like, was
held. Refreshments and music
were followed by a skit, a one-
act play, and more skits. The
two former were written by
members of the Masquers^
The first skit consisted of a
series of comical interviews.
“What would you do if you had
eight days left to live?” This
was followed by the play, which
starred Bob Yarns in the part
of Jim Alden, a gardener. The
purpose of this play was the
understanding of different
types of people, different per
sonality types.
Skits by individual campus
organizations followed to close
the evening. When asked what
she thought about the opening
of the barn, Miss Taylor re
plied, “Whoopee Poo!”
The American - European
Student Service is now solicit
ing students to fill the limitless
job capacities offered in Ger
many, Standinavia, England,
Austria, Switzerland,'France, It
aly and Spain. The jobs consist
of forestry work, child care
work (females only), farm work,
hotel work (limited number
available), construction work,
and other jobs requiiring spec
ialized training. For several
years, students have made their
way across the Atlantic to ex
plore the lives of the Euro
pean people. The success of
this project has sparked much
enthusiasm and support both
in the United States and Europe.
The purpose of this program
is to afford the student an op
portunity to learn of the people
and customs of Europe first
hand. In return for the work,
room, board, and wages will be
rceived. However, students
should keep in mind that they
will be working on the Euro
pean economy, and wages will
naturally be scaled according
ly. The working conditions will
be strictly controlled by the
labor ministries of the coun
tries involved. The employers
are especially interested in
the American student and are
well-informed of the intention
of the program.

plication forms may be obtain
