LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
FROM VICKIE
JAMES LARKIN PEARSON ART & TALENT SHOW HELD
Dear Editor:
It was stated in the last issue
that one of the reasons that the
ping-pong table was removed from
the south side of the Student Com
mons was because more room was
needed for tables, and that the
game & spectators of the game
were taking a toll on the walls sur
rounding the ping-pong table. Well,
I feel that the students attending
WCC have paid for the facilities
they use and the walls surrounding
the ping-pong table on the south
side of the Commons are part of
the facilities that the students have
paid for.
—Dan Gambill
Dear Danny,
If you feel the education you get
here is not worth the tax dollars you
and thousands of people in this
state pay for, then perhaps you
should transfer to a private school
where the individual does pay for
the education and for the buildings.
-The Editors
DID YOU KNOW?
Macaroni sprayed gold and
threaded with yarn makes a very
nice garland for your Christmas
tree.
For a quick iceball, for a X-mas
party, fill a round balloon with
water ‘ and freeze. Remove the
balloon after the water is frozen.
For a quick bird feeder, simply
string bread cubes on a cord.
Hang the feeder high so cats and
dogs won’t frighten the birds.
A good emergency substitute for
a scraper to remove frost, ice,
sleet, etc. is a plastic credit card.
It will do the job in no time.
Since I will be venturing on to
bigger and better things after this
quarter, I want to say a great big
thanks to all of my friends and
teachers, who have made my life
here at W.C.C. something really
special,
I will miss everyone and every
thing, especially 111 miss working on
the newspaper, plays and cast part
ies, being involved in school activit
ies, and ni certainly miss not seeing
the many friends I’ve made.
Thanks again to all my friends
and teachers. I’ll miss you!
—Vickie Reins
