FOREW ORD T IS hardly possibk ' by stretch of the imagination to conceive ichat Brevard College may be tiventy years from now: but in this, the Urst editio n of Thi- PerTELOTE, ive have endeavored to portray m picture and m word. Brevard College as it is now in this, its first year. The name of this book signifies our relation- ship to our big brother. Duke University. The title ot Duke ' s annual is The Chanticleer. In Chaucer ' s old tale. Pertelote was the hen most loved by the valiant Chanticleer. So. since we are in various ways connected with Duke, and particularly are of the same religious denomination, we elected to call our annual THE PER- TELOTE.

FOREWORD only completed high school ivock. As they enter into various college activities, the torch burns brighter and brighter as the days go by. not only by knoicledge ac- quired in the class-room, but by intelligent engagement in athletics and other campus activities, m ivhich all par- ticipate as one large family. In the daily pursuance of what mau appear to be commonplace routine ive find the torches to be groivmg brighter and shedding a more radiant light. It is only through consistent application of one ' s time and effort that any goal is ever attained. The building of this annual has called for labor, but a labor of love because it ivus being done for you. We ivho have contributed to its building have exerci.sed many of those fine qualities of patience, loyalty, and devotion toward a creation which we hope will keep alive our torch as we go forth into whatever walk of life may lie before us. May we strive to keep aloft our torch: strive also to keep its light burning brightly, for in so doing We help those whose torches have as yet been unlighted. thereby helping someone else to lead a happier life. May we labor diligently, learn to cooperate with our fellowmen. and live for our Creator whose abundant life we seek to know. — The Editor. Uil
