Distinguished Service Award
banquet of the Brevard
Jaycees held last Friday night
at the Brevard College
cafeteria.
Several hundred persons
were on hand for the occasion,
including a number of past
DSA winners, who were also
recognized during the course
of the evening.
Charles “Chuck” Bradley, a
local realtor who is with
James C. Gaither &

recipient of the DSA for 1974,
which annually goes to
Transylvania’s outstanding
young man of the year
selected by a panel of non
Jaycee judges.
Mr. Bradley is the current
president of the Brevard

charge of all community

year. He has led the Jaycees
to one of their finest years

High Motivation Is
Haggai Prescription
Describing happiness as the
ability to maintain a high level
of motivation despite the
problems you face, Dr. Tom
Haggai challenged his
audience Friday night to
“Rejoice evermore.”
This is the advice that Paul
wrote in his two letters to the
despondent people of
Thessalonica, Dr. Haggai
said, whom he compared to
Americans today.
The popular High Point man
spoke at the annual Brevard
Jaycees Distinguished Service
Awards banquet Friday night
at Brevard College, attended
by 126 persons.
“He did not say be happy all
the time. You cannot be happy
all the time,” Dr. Haggai said.
If people were happy all the
time, there would not be the
great music, poetry and art
that was born of despair, he
said.
In the face of terminal
illness of serious family
problems, “There is a way to
not lose your motivation,” Dr.
Haggai said.
“Paul tells you how. When
he gives you a toy, he gives
you the batteries and all the
screws. ‘In everything give
thanks. This is the will of God
through Christ Jesus.’
“You cannot be thankful
and depressed at the same
time,” he said. Unless, he
quipped, it was the man
watching as his mother-in-law
drove off the cliff in his new El
Dorado Cadillac.

minister who speaks before

Sleet Delays Move
1,600 Pupils
Involved In
Change
Brevard’s new elementary
and middle schools — colorful,
carpeted, and attractive —
Mondcy were forced to wait at
least one additional day before
occupancy because of the sleet
mixed with snow which began
falling aroud 7 a m. in
Brevard and the lower end of
the county.
The 899 students at the
Middle School and the 694
elementary school pupils had
been scheduled to report to
their old institutions Monday
morning and would have been
transferred to the new
facilities during the day,
school officials said.
Teachers and school of
ficials worked during the
Christmas and New Year’s
holidays in moving, books,
equipment, and the ac
cessories from the old building
into the new ones.
The move was to have been
an exciting one for the
youngsters and their teachers,
and officials predict it will be
when the move does come.
The new facilities, and the
Rosman elementary school
which opened in October give
the county some of the finest
lower-grade school structures
in N. C. When the two high
school projects now underway
are completed, the county will
have one of the finest school
plants to be found in the
nation.
The Brevard Elementary
School was built and equipped
at a cost of $1,500,000. Cost of
construction and equipment
for the new Middle School was
$2,150,000, school officials
said.
Bids totaling almost $1.8
million were recently ap
proved for the new Rosman
and Brevard High Schools’
projects.
If weather permits, school
officials said, the schedule
prepared for Monday will be
adhered to Tuesday. Students
will report to their old schools,
and shuttle buses will tran
sport them in relatively small
groups to the new facilities.
There, they’ll be given a
tour of the new structures and
settled into their classrooms
areas, while the buses bring
out another group of studens.
Richard Voso is the prin
cipal of the elementary school.
Charles Whitley is principal of
the Brevard Middle School.
