  • Page 8 The Western Carolinian Friday, March 19, 1965 Co-Ed Beauty MISS ANNE BRADSHAW This week's Co-Ed Beauty reflects the true promise of the budding Spring. Miss Anne Bradshaw is from Greensboro, N. C and is a member of the Freshman class. Although she is majoring in Psychology and Social Science, she plans to enter nursing school after completion of college. Miss Bradshaw is currently a pledge in Alpha Delta Chi Sorority. Her hobbies include sports, sewing, and reading contemporary novels. (Photo by Stevenson) Spring Quarter's Activities Include A Welcome Relief From Winter's Cold With the coming of spring quarter comes the inevitable question, "What is there to do at Western?" Spring quarter, with its warm days and cool nights, seems to demand that we all do something different for a change. But what is there to do in Cullowhee? Baseball heads the list of campus activities for this quarter. Our team has already played two conference games. Intramural Softball begins soon for those who feel the urge to hit the field themselves. If you aren't thinking along this particular line, you can always jcir? *he orowd on the sun deck. / tne days grow longer ana warmer, more and more red figures can be seen taking advantage of the Cullowhee sun. There is. of course, one prospect which we all look forward to—Lake Glenville. Swimming, boating, sunbathing and other activities are a few cf the possibilities for long Saturday afternoons. If you're looking for something which takes up a lot of time and offers a great deal of pleasure then perhaps you would be interested in trying out for "Gypsy." This is the spring quarter music?1 planned by the Little Theatre Those of us who are limited in acting ability can sit back and wait for the production, wondering if it will meet the standards set up by past productions. Penland Works Miracles WOODLAND MOTEL and RESTAURANT 1V2 miles south of Dillsboro on hwy. 441 and 23 Invites You To Enjoy Their Beautiful New Dining Room Featuring: STEAKS - SEAFOOD - REGULAR DINNERS HOMEMADE PIES A SPECIALTY CARPETED FAA MUSIC By Jeri Bailey Amid the towering peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Western North Carolina lies the ?ampus of one of the most unique vocational schools in the United States. The school is situated here because here is where the art of handweaving was kept alive by the mountain folk, and here is where Providence sent a young woman in the summer of 1920 to discover and renew this old craft. Penland School of Handicrafts was dreamed into existence by Miss Lucy Morgan, and is today one of the most widely known handicraft centers of the world. At the time when Miss Lucy, as she is called by all who know her, discovered that while weaving by hand was still done in the mountains, the art was slowly dying. Her book, Gift From The Hills, tells how she first aroused interest in hand weaving among the women of the small mountain community, then, by showing the weav- Tourists See Similarities Of U. S., France Do you know where to spend "le weekend?" What "Les oeufs t l'nmericaine" taste like? Whether hot dogs or aspirin are disnensed by "le drugstore?" Vou'll find the answers not in Washington or New York, but in Paris, where the American way of life is beginning to exert an influence much like Paris fashions do here Ties between the United States and France have always been close. A French general, the Marquis de Lafayette, was a celebrated hero of the American Revolution. When George Washington needed an architect to plan the new "Federal City" he picked a Frenchman Major Pierre Charles L'Enfant. Today, travelers are often struck by the similarities between the two cities, Paris and Washington. Like Washington, Paris is a city of magnificent distances, with wide streets and sweeping vistas. A new link between the great capitals of America and France is Air France's new direct flight service between Paris and Washington. When Washingtonians or New Yorkers step off an elegant Air France "Chateau in the Sky," what will they find in Paris? Haute cuisine, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and an A- merican monument known as "Le Drugstore," are just a few of the things that await an American in Paris. ing to other people, spread such interest in the art of hand weaving that she was able to establish a school to teach weaving to anyone who wished to learn. The story of Penland School is a most intriguing and amaz- in gone, for it seems almost impossible that such a small school in such an isolated place could attract students and visitors, not only from all over the United States, but many foreign countries as well. And when one considers its beginnings, he accounts it a miracle that the school survived at all. For the first nine years after Miss Lucy came to Pen- land the only financial support for her crusade to restore this almost lost art was the money from the sales of the weaving done by the women in the community. In 1929 the first financial support came, in the form of a check for half her salary as teacher of hand weaving. This support was given under the Smith-Hughes Act which provided funds for vocational schools. With this aid and the money from the sales of hand-woven material she was able to continue taking the woven produ'-*'! to fairs in various cities and to tourist resorts in the -•■'•'•ounding a- rea. As people oought and circulated the handwoven articles, interest in weaving grew, and the fame of Pen- land spread. Interested people in the community began making donations as did many people who came to visit at Penalnd. When Miss Lucy received the state aid under the Smith- Hughes Act she also learned that this act required a permanent meeting place at which the students receive instruction. Up until that time she had been going from house to house, so now she found an unoccupied log cabin and set up her school there. That was the beginning of the campus of Penland School which now has two large dormitories, several small craft buildings, and a larger building for classes and weaving. As Penland School grew in size it also grew in scope. Now, along with hand weaving with which it began, pottery making, lapidary and jewelry making, and wood carving are taught. People who come to Penland to learn one of these arts often stay to teach others, and during the summer months one may find students from places such as Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Greece, Turkey, Jordan, Turkey, Korea, and Brazil at Penland. The school sends its hand-made products to craft shops all over the United States, and has enjoyed such financial success that is now is self-supportina, and a student pays only his expenses at the school. From a f»w women meeting in a log cab)'-- +o a student body made up of people of almost every nationality working in large, modern buildings Pen- land School has developed. It has progressed from a school supported by donations and state aid to a self-supporting institution. Perhaps someday the school will have extensions in view, one may still say that Penland School of Handicrafts is the little mountain school that worked miracles. THE NEW BAPTIST STUDENT UNION, RECENTLY completed, is a fine example of the building progress taking place on our campus. The building is done in modern architecture and furnished in a like manner. It is truly an addition to our campus, and the Baptist students can well be proud of their new housing.
