Description	John C. Campbell Folk School published a series of newsletters from 1926 to 1950.

This issue addresses the unclear distinction between a Folk School student and community member as all are all included in the Folk School family, as they contribute to the life and mission of the school. Also described are recent activities of the Men's and Women's Clubs which traveled to nearby places such as Murphy and the Curtis Community in Clay County to observe other farms and methods of operation. There is also brief mention of the inception of the Brasstown Brass Band, photographer Doris Ulmann and folk singer John Jacob Niles' first visit to Brasstown, and the singing games gaining popularity throughout Appalachia, especially in Berea, Kentucky.
