Mountain State Fair first opened in 1994 BC post office
gets a facelift
By Caroline Hoy
Layout & Design
Brevard College’s post office is a very
traveled destination. Recently, the post office
received a major makeover.
The most notable change about the post
office is that it changed entrances. To go to
the post office before, students would come
by entering and exiting over by the bookstore,
but now, students can enter through Tornado
Alley. It is one of the few offices in Tornado
Alley that did not change its location.
The post office got a little smarter this year.
The installation of new smart lockers has been
put to the right of the door to the post office.
During the summer, 49 lockers were installed.
The smart lockers are currently grey colored,
but soon they will receive a fresh wrap. The
lockers are also supposed to get a Brevard
College logo to them.

The 2021 Met Gala,
‘In America: A Lexicon
of Fashion’
By Margaret Correll
Contributor, Alumnus ‘21
The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosts their
annual Costume Institute Benefit, everyone
waiting with baited breath to see the intricate
designs and dressings of some of their favorite
celebrities. Monday, Sept. 13, 2021 was no
exception to this feeling, after the delay of
the 2020 Met Gala due to the COVID-19
pandemic.
This year’s theme, “In America: A Lexicon of
Fashion,” has been long-awaited and definitely
caused a stir among fashion enthusiasts who
tried to figure out what outfits could be on
display. Being a lover of fashion, myself, I felt
that there were many different avenues that
could be taken to create a striking look but also
stick to the theme.
Needless to say, not many who attended the
Gala wore what was expected. It was more
basic than anything else.
When thinking of American fashion, a lot can
come to one’s mind; different eras, colors and
textures. You can think of typical American
fashion like denim, cowboys, or the Y2K
era. Or you can use something more stylized
like the 1920s-flapper dress or the usage of a
specific American person as your inspiration.
Almost no one went with the theme, or if
they did, it was subdued to the point of being
unrecognizable. This, in my opinion, is a big
letdown and ruins the extravagance of the rest Photo from Vogue Scandinavia
