Among these are Dr. Bob Thompson and the beautiful people in Student Services, Dr. Shaw and his competent staff and Dr. Faye Byrd and her wonderful staff. Also to be thanked are the faculty members with special appreciation to Mr. Bud Mayes and Mr. Bill Moffett. The best I saved to last, my fellow students. There could never have been a more beautiful student body anywhere! Love Ya All, Shorty Student Poetry BY OWEN SCHWEERS Richard Pierce got his idea to be the Cougar’s mascot from attending State last year, and seeing how their mascot helped promote fan participation. He feels that his unique approach to show school spirit enhances W.C.C.’s appearance on the court, brings more fans to the games and, most importantly, helps to make W.C.C. feel more like a university. When asked about the basket ball team and student participa tion, Richard had much to say. He feels that this year the Cougars are more experienced on the court and have been giving their full efforts in all the games. On the subject of student participation in the games his remarks were serious and not all that pleasing to hear. For the five months of training and then the season itself, the basketball players work long hours to represent our school on the court. But, the attendance by students is lacking and it does effect the morale of the players. Richards has a solution to this problem. First and foremost on WANTED We are in need of people who would like to work on the Cougar Cry staff. If you are interested, contact. Dr. Bob C. Thompson in Student Services Office. Thank- you!

I don’t wish for that statement to be as harsh as it sounds, but it is from my viewpoint, as editoi, the honest truth. Save for the three others beside myself, there is little interest shown for the paper. This paper could be put out regularly by Student Services without much interest to individuals or groups (and this is entirely possible), but is shouldn’t be this way. One could ask why it makes any difference. It makes a world of difference! Here we are with a powerful medium to express ourselves in under our noses — and it goes by practically unseen. To have a fire there must be a fiame. What we need are some flints and stones to start that fiame. I could continue for days, but my point has been made. Our goal is to obtain more participation and interest from our readers, even if it is only in a letter to me. This week has many activities planned for all of us to be a part of. I hope that everyone will help this Homecoming be a special one by going to the game or attending the dance after the game. There is a great deal of information within this issue that is useful in knowing the date and times of events — so read on. We wish the best of luck to all the nominees for Homecoming Queen and court. I welcome any, and all, comments or suggestions anyone might have to convey to the readers at this publication. OSIII Windup - Unique Experience BY SHORTY When Craig Wiles first ap proached me with the idea of portraying “Aqualung” in the world stage premiere of the rock opera by Jethro Tull, I was both delighted and apprehensive. The delight came in being able to play an important role in a show’s world premiere and in front of some of my best friends. The apprehension came in knowing that show had not yet been performed anywhere on any stage. However soon after rehearsals for Windup began all that remained was a desire to make this unique show a big success. If a promise of something unique and wonderful intrigues you then “Windup” should bring you to the WCC auditorium, Feb. 9 and 10 at 8 P.M. Presented on the same program will be another one-act play entitled “The Indian Want’s the Bronx.” laugh for me, world a happy Smile for me. Kiss me please. I’m going love with you! make my place laugh for me, I think to fall in — Shorty MISS ANDREA COMBS Holiday Queen BY ZORREST PENNELL Miss Andrea Combs was recently chosen as the WCC Phi Beta Lambda Holiday Queen. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David T. Combs, and is a 1978 graduate of Starmount High School, where she was a member of the band, colorguard, FTA, FFA, and HOSA.
