Pliet’s (lonier NOW IS THE TIME Now is the tipie you should live your life When you worry about tomorrow so full of strife For when tomorrow gets here it becomes today So please don’t wish or worry your life away The past is gone - it is dead and buried You can see how fast the old clock’s hurried Everyone has twenty-four hours in a day While you long for tomorrow you lose today Don’t you know when time passes it’s gone forever When a moment passes you see it again never Now is the time to reach out to a friend Today is the day for that letter to send Now is the time to make someone happy Sing a happy song and make it snappy Right now is the time to look into her eyes It’s too late when a mourner in a funeral cries You’ve got to show people that you care As time keeps passing through the cool night air Now is the time for me to love you When you’re so young and strong and true Please don’t make me wait till another day A million tomorrows will all pass away Now is the time to let yourself go Now is for the seeds of love to sew -Ron Wishon, Poet, 2-24-’75 KEEP ON TRUCKIN’ Keep on truckin’ down the line Keep on looking for things so fine Don’t let hassles get you down Feel your feet upon the ground See the beauty in your own soul Love that good ol’ rock and roll Keep on truckin’ all day long Listen to those funky songs See the sunlight all around While you hear that joyous sound Dig the love in her blue eyes Hear the sweet music in the skies Keep on truckin’, you are alive You’ll do much more than survive Dance to the beat of that rockin’ band It’s something you can understand Find someone to share your life Don’t live like everything is strife Keep on truckin’ when things around Seem to all be falling down It doesn’t help to feel so bad Try to smile and don’t be sad It’s a brand new day and who can tell Everything could turn out well! -Ron Wishon, Poet, 2-24-’75 Did You Know? BY VICKIE REINS NATURAL ACCENTS If you are a plant freak as I am, and love the outdoors, here are some hints that will make your plants and your whole room look more outdoorsy. Planting in terra-cotta pots is a must. Save all wooden fruit boxes from your grocers (the type that strawberries and other small fruits come in). Line the basket with tinfoil, and put a potted plant in it. It looks great placed on antiques or the good ole window sill! SPACE MAKERS I was thinking that possibly some of you have a terrible space problem around the house and not enough money to go all out and buy something to cure the problem, as I have found myself.

An organizational meeting of the Circle K was held October 13, and all indications are that this is going to be Circle K’s greatest year at WCC. Officers for the 1975-76 year were elected and plans were formulated for several projects was to bring the Red Cross Bloodmobile to campus on Friday, October 17. Eighteen pints of blood were donated, with 29 first time donors. There were only eleven rejects. Other projects that were discussed were a car wash and an early morning doughnut sale. Money from these projects will be used to provide service for various needy groups in Wilkes County. One possibility discussed was the formation of a “Big Brother” type organization. Anyone interested in becoming a part of this worthwhile group should see any of the club officers or the club advisors. Dr. Knox and John Idol. Baleka Want A Quacker? People who feed animals come in all sizes and shapes. Consider, for example, Richard Jones (Deputy Dawg) and Baleka Williams. Between writing tickets, deliver ing newspapers, singing gospel music, and blowing his whistle, Richard Jones also feeds the ducks who live on the campus lake. Or rather, he feeds the ducks when he is here. Sometimes he’s not here (like in the summer), but the ducks still get hungry and have to be fed. When Richard wasn’t here, no one seemed to notice that the ducks were not being fed. That is, no one except the ducks. But there was one other person who noticed — Baleka Williams. She notices everything that causes pain or discomfort. A hungry duck Are You A Writer? Would you like to have some of your work printed in the Cougar Cry? Come on, now, don’t be so modest! What good is a poem, short story or essay if no one reads it? You know it if you have literary talent, and others would like to know it, too. So if you’ve written anything you would like to have printed in the paper, see Ron Wishon - literary editor of the Cougar Cry. Emphasis will be placed on short things with exceptions for material we feel is worthy. So come on, poets, writers, and essayists, we want to hear from you! Ron Wishon Cougar Cry Literary Editor sounds like it is mighty uncom fortable. All summer long, rain or shine, Baleka Williams had lunch with the ducks. In her left hand she carried whatever it is she eats, and in her right hand she would carry a huge bag of corn for the ducks. Only after the ducks had eaten their fill would Baleka then enjoy her lunch. God must have a very special place in his heart for ducks to arrange to have them taken care of by Baleka Williams. I hope there are ducks in heaven, but if there is not, Baleka will find something that needs a little tender love and care. John Cashion Champion Is New Director The Holiday Inn of Wilkesboro announced recently, the appoint ment of Donald Champion as the new Food and Beverage Director.
