MAKE OUR FORESTS LAST,TOO!
Wood is necessary (or war weapons. In
war and in peace we must have forest
products. We cannot afford to waste our
timber. A burning match, a glowing cigarette,
a smoldering campfire can be as disastrous
to our forests as an incendiary bomb.
Our country is in greater danger today
than ever before. So are our Forests. Keep
ing fire out of the woods is vital to Victory.
DO YOUR PART—HELP PREVEHT FOREST FIRES
Today our Industries are working day and night making leather and cutting and sawing
lumber for the war effort. Never before have our products been needed so badly by our govern
ment. We urge that you be careful and prevent forest fires from getting started. Remember the
catastrophies of last spring, in fact a year ago. Our nation’s life is at stake. Do your part!

Now the year is over,
The end is drawing nigh,
Memories of the by-gone years,
Twinkle in the eye.
Pupil, teachers, everyone dear,
Are leaving school without a tear.
Some are glad, some have sorrow,
Some look forward to tomorrow.
Farewell, schoolmates, until next

And to the seniors, we’ll say good

Farewell to all you teachers
dear (?)
Hoping to see you again next year.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
We, the staff of this column, as
the school year, ’42-’43, draws to
a close, wish to express to all our
student readers and alumnus
readers, the world over, our en
joyment in the past year of g; th
ering and reporting B.H.S. news
and of commenting on current
topics. By wading through our
faulty composition, corny attempts
at humor, and rumored gossip, yon
have perhaps been able to get a
general idea of the year’s school
activities. But, until there’s more
news to report and gossip to rum
or at Brevard high, farewell, from
the staff, and thanks to The Times
for the space given.
HOME ECONOMICS LUNCHEON
AND TEA SUCCESSFUL
The Home Economics girls, un
der direction of Miss Whitesides,
entertained at a tea Thursday af
ternoon for several members of
the faculty. The tea was voted a
great success by those present.
Friday at 12:15, the girls gave
a luncheon, which was an equal
success. The guests present were
several members of the faculty,
including Mr. and Mrs. Kimzey,
also several senior boys were en
tertained at a similar luncheon
given by the girls. These lunch
eons and the tea are just examples
of the progress these girls have
made since the beginning of the
year.
HERE AND THERE
Here’s to all the Seniors and we
Juniors wish them all the luck
in their future years.
We hope that Scruggs-Patton
romance will last forever. May
they keep up their good work
and much success to both of them
in their future years.
Although the McGuire-Misen
heimer romance was a little late
in the year getting started, every
one thinks it will last.
“Flash” H. seems to be the big
gest sucker after all. It seems
that he has been falling down on
the job and letting a certain boy
beat his time with that Asheville
girl. “Flash,” why don’t you wake
up and find out these things. Is
he from Brevard or Asheville???
That is the question!!!!
We just can’t figure out how
Bob K. will get along next year
without “Rosie’ D. Oh, well, Bob
you might find someone else any
way. At least, that’s the way
things look.
“Boozie” T. will be leaving B.
H. S. this year and everyone is
wondering who Dot G. will take
under her “wing” next year!!!
We all hope that Bob B. will
actually forget his bashfulness by
next year. Not mentioning any
names concerning who does all \
of this hoping, but everyone won
ders what the Redden sisters
have their frequent fights about?
And now to all those in love,
and all who are trying to hook
somebody we wish them all the
luck in the world. Of course ev
ery year there is always a group
of students who graduate and
won’t be back, but the dear (?)
old Here and There is everlasting
—at least we hope so!!!!
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank each and ev
ery one of our many friends for
their kindness and sympathy shown
during the illness and death of
our precious little one.
