Yes, in between the usual time allot ted for sunbathing, time ft>r studying must also be put aside. Many students have only to take a few exams while the rest of us have four or five, not to mention the music stud ents who have boards to con tend with. Many students will be gone week and, therefore, have only one more weekend at Brevard. Others will be here until Wed nesday or Thursday and, of course, those graduating will be here until Sunday. The freshmen will be back, but many of the sophomores may never return again. To us graduation is both a happy but also a sad day.

They loo are times that we will look back on with fond memories. As for me, I think I will miss the people I have met on the campus. Brevard is not on ly a place then of higher edu cation, hut also a place where friendships have grown. Bre vard has been a place of se curity. When first arriving on the campus I was apprehensive, even scared about what was going to happen to me the next two years. Since that day, how ever, I have grown to feel a deep sense of security. I knew what was expected of me. For those graduating, however, this feeling must again begin in another world, on another cam pus. We must again feel appre hension and fight for a sense of security. We will take a step forward and carry with us the fond memories we have of Bre vard College. —Laurie Pearson When you think of prescrin tions, think of VARNER’S, adv, ItipMIIIIMMmmMMMMIMMIMIHUIIimtHlIHUtlil1 SOCIAL SECURITY Questions And Answers By NORRIS G. GRUBBS Field Representative Q. I’ve been getting month ly social security benefits since I was 62. I’ll be 65 in May 1971. What do I have to do to sign up for Medicare? A.

If you want the Medicare medical insurance, complete this form and return it in the envelope furnished.
