THE COUGAR CRY, FEB. 6, 1968 PAGE 3 Student Center Report Cast Is Chosen For Two Plays D. S. Mayes,* director of the college theatre released the names of the cast and crew mem bers who will appear in the two plays entitled, “High Sign” and “The Brick and the Rose” after the try-outs held on January 24. The actors are Ron Barlow, Larry Cooper, Peter Brame, Jack Bryan, and John Kirk. The actresses are Joan Ferguson, Rebecca Graybeal, Debbie Liles, and Molly Winkler. The stage manager is Marie Cashion. Deb bie Hartsogis is in charge of makeup and costumes. Ann Mit chell is supplying the publicity and house. The lighting is sup plied by Franklin Triplett and in charge of sets are Hayden John son and Scott Walsh. The first rehearsal will be Monday, January 29, at 7;30p.m. in the Woodlawn gym. Bring pencils. Personality Class Takes Exercises Mrs. Scroggs’ personality class has been using the Wood lawn gym regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30 to 11:00. Many a grunt is heard and so are complaints of sore muscles. At least the floor gets its semi-weekly mopping. Coach Linney directs exercises while Mrs. Scroggs gives the girls pointers on how to sit, walk, and get into sports cars with miniskirts on. The girls are taking exercises to tone up mus cles and the pointers are to help Although the student center takes in an amount of money from the machines, we cannot say for certain whether the “House* is paying for itself or not. There are great many utility expenses that must be provided and paid for. Power, water, oil, and rent must be paid for before the stu dent center can operate. At this time we do not know if the machines are taking in enough money to balance out the cost of operating the center. The S.G.A. will be able to inform the students of this matter in a short time. The students who take advan tage of what is provided for them at the “House” find it an enjoy able and somewhat “rewarding” place to spend their free time and their money. It is hoped that all the students will find time to visit their provided place of fortitude. The Student Center, affec- tionally called “The House” by many W.C.C. students, is now playing an important role in Wilkes Community College af fairs. Sponsored by the Student Government Association, “The House” provides a place of refuge between classes for many of the students who want to forget, only for a little while, the “trials and tribulations” of a college student. The student center serves also as a recreation room for students who find time for a friendly card game, and for those who wish to reveal the fine arts them learn charm. We hope Mrs. Scroggs and Coach Linney suc ceed. of card tricks. Although our funds are limited and popular singing groups cannot be obtained, a stu dent has access to pop tunes for all the singing greats if he wish es to invest in the juke box. If a student would only step into the “Pink” room he would find snacks, drinks, and cigarettes to aid him in completing a full day. Seventeen Enroll In Ag. Program At the present time the Poultry-Livestock curriculum has seventeen students enrolled. This makes it the largest of the three Agricultural programs of fered at Wilkes Community Col lege. There are fourteen students from all over Wilkes County, two from Ashe and one from Yadkin County. Students have attended cattle sales at West Jefferson and North Wilkesboro, observed artificial insemination of dairy cattle at the John A. Faw farm, attended the Dixie Classic Fair at Win- ston-Salem. Plans underway now for rail sampling, field trips and visits to local beef cattle farms. The Associate in Applied Sci ence Degree prepares students for work as poultry fieldmen, livestock fieldmen, equipment salesmen, feed salesmen, flock and herd managers. There are also many openings for assistant managers of farm supply stores. We have the only poultry and livestock curriculum west of Goldsboro, North Carolina, and one of the largest (enrollment) in the entire state. Thoughts ’n Things Why do we have to study the development of mosses and things of that sort? Who cares how they develop and what each little part is called? They are here and we can enjoy them, but who wants to make a study of them? What good are they? I think we could do without them. The only good reason that I can see in studying them is--say a boy and his girl friend were walking in the woods. They come upon a patch of moss and the boy using his brilliant knowledge says, “That is moss.” Then in return the girl says, “Yes, and it belongs to the sub kingdom Embryophyta.” Ibetthey would go on talking about that into the night, it’s so interesting. Anonymous Tom Guy Paces WCC Win Tom Guy scored eighteen points leading Wilkes Community College past Western Piedmont in a game January 23. W.C.C. rolled past their opponents by a score of 68 to 51. This was W.C.C.’s second encounter with Western Piedmont and both games were W.C.C. victories. Ronnie Triplette, the playmaker of the Cougars, finished the game with fourteen points to his credit. Ed Snyder, the center, scored eight points, Steve Cardwell racked up seven, Roger Billings hit for six, Roy Anderson totaled seven, Carl Lowe Hudson and Brent Steelman each had four points. Although these boys represent the W.C.C. basketball cougars, there are people behind them that should receive recognition. Coach Joe Linney has established a record of five and three for this season. All students should be proud of a winning record and should show their appreciation to a fine coach by packing the stands at the next ball game. Two young men who play very important parts for the basketball team are Gerald, the manager, and Steve, the scorekeeper, who aid tlie ball team and school in a small but very sufficient manner. Wilkes Community College plays their next game with Surry Community College, January 31, at home. I’m sure Surry will fall to defeat at the hands of our COUGARS. Be on hand for the bloodshed! Activity Fee? (From the Minute Book—Sep tember 14, 1967, Wilkes Com munity College) On a motion by Mr. Smoak, seconded by Mr. Culler, the Board of Trustees authorized the Dean of Administrative Services to collect five dollars ($5.00) each quarter from each curricu lum student to be applied as a Student Activity Fee, This fee to cover the college newspaper, the college annual, and those functions sponsored by the Stu dent Government Association. This will not apply to athletic functions, nor will funds from this fee be used for expenses of the several athletic programs. This will answer the question of why we have to pay for basket ball games and all athletic func tions. The primary purpose of a lib eral education is to make one’s mind a pleasant place in which to spend one’s leisure. These students take advantage of the front of the student center to engage in a friendly snowball fight.
