PAGE TWO - THE COUGAR CRY, MAY 21, 1983 Editor^s Corner A New Beginning By: Debbie Dumoulin Life begins for someone everyday and life ends for somone everyday. It is so unfortunate that people never fully realize the true value of life until many years are wasted. We all go through elementary school and then high school and by the time graduation comes we are so excited to be “free” that we seldom take the situation seriously. Well after only 2 more years we are again faced with a graduation whether it be a graduation to another school or directly into the work force it is a graduation a new beginning. Many of us have taken for granted our years here at WCC; the experiences we’ve had, the people we’ve met, the things we’ve learned. As we leave our years at WCC behind let us all learn to treasure each day, each hour of our lives, and to make the most of every experience. There is so much to leam and to experience in the world and life is too short to waste time. Editor’s Comer By: Michael Windsor The year has once again come to an end. Graduation is upon us. Ahead of all of us lies a world waiting for us to step into. We must all everyday look at our lives in a positive way. If we do this our lives will be filled with positive results. Of course we will all make mistakes, but these will help us build onto our successes. Good luck to everyone! I would like to thank everyone who has helped with the Cougar Cry this past year. A special thanks goes out to Melanie Craven and Dr. Josephine Hendrix for their assistance with the paper this year. The newspaper is the voice of the student body so next year everyone is encouraged to express themselves by helping the Cougar Cry represent you. Special Services Special Services anticipates having funds to continue tutoring through the 1983 summer quarter. Tutoring will be available during each block and during the entire quarter. Tutoring is available in almost every course offered at WCC including accounting, math, biology, chemistry, English, psychology, and radio/television broadcasting courses. Students are invited to apply for this free service at 205 Thompson Hall. Ask for Dr. Barbara Holt. CLUB NEWS Math Club Concludes Year The Math Club along with local American Red Cross Chapter would like to thank everyone who donated blood May 2, 1983. The donations totaled 79 pints with only three rejections. We almost reached our goal of 80 pints. Our thanks also goes out to those who helped set up and take down the booldmobile. The club has enjoyed helping WCC this year with the bloodmobile visits. Everyone is encouraged to join the Math Club next fall so we can have an active club on campus. Congratulations and good luck to the Class of 1983. BSU Looking back on the past year, the BSU can proudly say that it has accomplished a lot. Throughout the year we have sponsored many activities and trips. We have continually tried to get the students here at WCC involved in our club. And through all of this we have grown and matured as a club in the experience necessary to guide us more successfully through next year. We feel that 1983-’84 will definitely be much more rewarding for us as a whole. Congratulations to the following officers who will serve int he BSU beginning next fall: President, Lorelei Williams; Vice-Presdient, Steve Williams; Secretary-Treasurer, Kim Roten; Reporter, Rebecca Foster; and Activities Director, Teresa Church. With the outstanding leadership, character, and experience of each of these students, the BSU is sure to be a prominent and growing club during 1983-’84. So plan to be in the BSU next year if you enjoy meeting interesting people, going to exciting places, and having just plain old fun. By: Steve Williams SGA President’s Corner By: Nancy Huffman The 1983-’84 SGA Officers met for their first meeting on Tuesday, May 10 in the Technical Arts Building. Everyone desires to make this the best year yet at Wilkes Community College. Only with student input and support, however, will this be possible. SGA meetings are open to all students. We ask for your ideas to formulate student activities which will be actively participated in. Let’s all join together to make 1983-’84 a year to remember at Wilkes Community College. Decameron The 1983 Decameron Poetry Contest was a great success. There were many entries in many ranges of poetry including rhymed poetry, free-verse, timericks and haiku. All entries were very good, and the judges had quite a time making a decision, but a decision was finally made, and here are the results: First prize of $10.00 went to Robert Doyle for his poem “While Walking Through The Autumn Leaves.” Second prize of $5.00 went to Katherine Losey for her poem “All That Syntax.” Congratulations! All entries will be published in this edition of the Decameron which will be available in the WCC Bookstore. Phi Beta Lambda The Phi Beta Lambda disband ed in March of 1983, for the 1982-83 school year. The reason for the ending of the club was because of lack of participation. The former president of PBL (Susan White) said that the club is a good club to be a member of. She also stated that with this years members, who may still be interested in PBL, and the new freshmen business students com ing in the fall quarter 1983-84, PBL should have a great new year. PBL offers many fantastic benefits such as job contacts, in-state and out-of-state confer ences, and many opportunities to build leadership qualities. The final activity of PBL this year was to sponsor a Mr. and Miss Sweetheart contest for Valentines Day. For those who don’t know, our Miss Sweetheart was Roxanne Baldwin and Mr. Sweetheart was Jeff Polk. Anyone interest«I in getting involved in Phi Beta Lambda next fall, should contact PBL advisors: Mr. Jim Barrow or Dr. Jean Miles, in the business faculty office. Remembrance of My Days at WCC By: Lisa Sizemore Wilkes Community College is a wonderful school offering fun, friends, guidance, and of course, an education. The people at WCC are a rare breed of people.. .people who can become your close friends. In my years at WCC I have made many friends; friends I will hate to say good-bye to at graduation in May. But looking over the past two years, I have not one regret of all the things I have done at WCC. As a freshman I was a tutor for Special Services. As a sophomore I was elected Miss WCC and was an attendant on the homecoming court. I was on the Dean’s List several times, but the honors and accomplish ments will not be the things I remember about WCC. Of course, the Associate of Arts Degree I will receive will be important, but the friends and good times will be what I remember most, the speeches in Brenda Moore’s oral communica tion class, the psychology tests in Richardson’s class, the dances in the school gym, and the times I cut class with friends to go eat at McDonald’s.
