CHEERLEADERS
You don’t need Aladdin’s Lamp
to make your plans come true!
YOU ARE THE GENIE! Your
choice of a career is one of
the most important decisions in
your life. Plan now!! Make the
best possible preparation for
your future. Study carefully and
realistically your abilities and
interests. Then, select a field
where you can lise them to the
best advantage. Consult your
Guidance Counselor for verifica
tion of the qualities you possess
for your chosen vocation.
The counseling staff is made
up of two full-time counselors.
Mrs. Virginia L. Bassett,
Academic Counselor, holds a
Bachelor of Science degree in
Secondary Education and a Mas
ter of Science degree in Guidance
and Counseling from Jacksonville
State University, Jacksonville,
Alabama. Before joining the staff
of Wilkes Community College,
she taught four years in the public
schools of Caeboun County, An
niston, Alabama.
Mr. Joseph R. Austell, Voca
tional Counselor, holds a Bache
lor of Science degree in Indus
trial Education and a Master of
Science in Industrial Education
from Clemson University, Clem-
son, South Carolina. Before join
ing the staff of WCC, Mr. Aus
tell was a Staff Industrial En
gineer with the USAF, and re
tired as Lt. Colonel in Sept.
1967. He has taught school in
the following areas: Kannapolis,
N. C; Elkin N. C.; the University
of Maryland (overseas division);
McKendren College, Illinois;
Trenton State College, New Jer
sey; and John F. Kennedy High
School, New Jersey.
The facilities of the Guidance
and Testing Center are available
without charge to all students
to assist them in selecting an
appropriate academic or tech
nical-vocational program and ul
timate vocation.
The counseling Center is
located in the Student Personal
Office in the administration
building. The counselors are
available to help students with
problems of vocational and cur
ricular choice, problems of ad
justment to college life, and any
other problems a student might
wish to discuss with a profes
sionally trained counselor.
The Center administers ap
titude and interest tests to any
one who desires this service
and maintains a file of accupa-
tional information to help guide
students in career selection.
Students who are in doubt as
to a sutiable academic major, who
have been unable to make sat
isfactory long-range vocational
plans, or who are having
academic difficulties may find
these services of particular
value.
Olympiad 1968
A great controversy arose in
the '68 Olympliad because of dis
plays of racial supremacy by
militant black athletes. Would
rules governing this type of
action be to discriminate or is
the theme of the Olympics “peace
and National fellowship* nearly a
front for Nations to show the
strength of their youth?These
actions not only on the part of
the American defeat the entire
purpose of the Olympics. In the
words of the ’68 Heavyeweight
Boxing gold medal winner “No
white Power, No Power, just A-
merican Power.” This is the
epitome of the competition of
Nations. These are some of the
hang-up of today’s problems.
For one country to break this
chain, an intereaction would move
the whole thing back into its
proper perspective. Who will be
the first to lose face and make
the sacrifice for the good of
all people concerned and true
sportsmanship?
W.C.C. Annual
The Annual Staff is hard at
work on specific jobs concerning
class pictures, organizations,
and all-around planning of our
yearbook.
Students can look forward to a
new, well rounded yearbook, and
it is the annual staff sincerest
hope that it will please every
person at W. C.C.
A great addition to the annual
this year is individual class pic
tures. This will certainly add a
personal touch to every annual.
With an eagerness to work and a
serious outlook toward the future,
the Annual Staff promises this
year, 1968-69, THE year of The
W. C. C. Annual.
Steve Harvel
Editor
Most sensible people probably
take this same view. But this
brings up another question:* How
are we to distinguish between
those people who ‘can not sup
port themselves’ and those people
who have the ability but will not
support themselves?*
Floyd Rogers
Playboy’s Unabashed Diction
ary defines “belt* as a topless
minidress.

will be answered. So until then,
