Choke Bits
Well, kids, here we are asaiii
with no more gossip than usual. In
facts, we had a simply horrible time
finding out what we do have. Guess
people are not getting into the
things they used to, or else their
pals have just quit talking - about
them. Sumpin’s gotta be done.
You know, we asked Tommy
James for some gossip and he said
uhat he didn’t know any as he didn’t
get around very much. We know
better, though, cause we saw him
out at the Plantation with some
cute gal. And you know, Tommy
isn’t all we’ve seen, either. We’ve
been looking at Kancla’s billfold
and there is the cutest little cut
out in there. We also saw Kitty
out at the river in a good looking
convertible.
There have been some puzzling
questions hopping around in our
heads. See if you can answer them.
1. What is Louella going to do
now that Bill is working on Sat
urday nights ?
2. How did Allen get that ring
on his finger?
3. Why is Emma Hartsell so
anxious to get to High Point this
fall?
4. Is it true that Margie Clark
has given up dates for her studies?
After you have answered the
above four, then you are qualified
to find out how many fish Harriet,
Doodles, Jan, Martha, and J. C.
have been catching lately at the
river.
That’s about it for this time,
folks, so, Goo by for now.
STUDENTS OPINIONS
(Continued From Page 1)
MARJORIE LOTSHAW—Going
to C.C. for the past two years has
meant a lot to me as well as the
rest of the students here, and a
passing of this bill will enable all
of us to enjoy the same.
Now here is a quotation from
one of our former students. I can
vouch to this being a sincere quote
because the one being quoted is a
brother of mine.
JIMMY KILGO—I, for one, am
very interested in this oncoming
tax election. If C.C. should close;
and I’m sure it won’t, some of the
best students in N. C. would have
to do without a college education.
I am going to do ray part and I’m
sure that you students will do
yours. Let’s work as a unit to see
to it that C.C. will always be a part
of our community,
think that the coming election is
one of the best things that could
happen to C.C. I believe that if the
students show a lot of enthusiasm
for the college the election will be
in our favor. C’mon gang, let’s win!
MARGARET FALKENBERG —
This is our big chance to put C.C.
on the map so to speak. Let’s not
let our big chance go by.
Congratulations
On April 14th one of the most
important elections of the entire
school was held. At this time the
Student Council officers for the
year 1954-55 were elected. Very
interesting campaign speeches
were given at an earlier date. New
officers are: William Crabtree,
President; Don Payne, Vice-Presi
dent; Louella Robinson, Secretary;
Jimmy Brady Treasurer. All these
officers were running on the Inde
pendent Party ticket. The Inde
pendent Party also won all four of
fices last year. This year’s Student
Council has very successfully ful
filled its duties and responsibilities,
and the student body may rest as-
JOYCE DUNN—Over 3600 peo
ple have benefited from Charlotte
College and I certainly hope the
citizens of Charlotte and especially
our own students aren’t going to
let us down now. Urge all your
friends and family to register and
vote.
SLADE JOYNER—I think it is
a very good thing because C.C.
means a lot to us students,
DON PAYNE—The outcome of
the tax election will affect many of
us here at C.C. C.C. needs this sup
port; so urge your family and
friends to vote.
LEWIS HOOVER—The passage
of the tax election is a necessity
for Charlotte. Charlotte’s munici
pal colleges are a sign of and a
partner of progress. Please don’t
fail to register and vot*.
LARRY BROWN—Being a stu
dent at Charlotte College, it is not
difficult for me to realize the great
necessity of the success of this tax
election; so therefore we students
of C.C. must ban together to sell
sured that its government is in
good hands for the coming year.
Congratulations, Independents!
The winning party was up
against strong competition, let me
tell you. The other slate of officers
included Jim Fitzgerald for Presi
dent, Dan McCaskill for Vice-Pres-
ident, Marjorie Clark for Secretary.
There are two more elections
this year—that of editors and bus
iness managers of the annual and
paper, and the Sophomore Class of
ficers. It will be a great help if you,
the students, will (1) nominate any
person who you think fills the
qualifications and (2) vote for the
candidates of your choice.
Marjorie Lotshaw, Chairman,
Elections Committee.
our bill of goods to every citizen of
Charlotte.
WILLIAM HOOVER — I think
think this tax election is a won
derful thing for C.C., and that ev
ery student should urge his friends
and relatives to vote “Yes.”
tion will no doubt decide whether
or not hundreds of Charlotte stu
dents will have the privilege of a
college education. I just hope they
won’t be denied this privilege.
There you have a few quotes on
what present-day and former-day
students think about this tax elec
tion. I’m sure that all of us want
this election to go through, but it
is up to us to see to it that it does
go through.
We are proud of our student
body and we are also proud of our
great faculty and wonderful di
rector. We can’t let them down
and we will not let them down.
Make sure that all your friends
and relatives vote “yes” for this
election.

LETTERS FROM ALUMNUS
Have you ever worked seven and
one half hours per day and then
gone to school from two to five
hours each night for two years ? I
did, and it was not easy, as so many
other Charlotte College students
know! Yet, I am proud of the op
portunity Charlotte College offer
ed and I believe my sentiments are
the same as all the alumni that
have done the same thing. Char
lotte College gave us an opportuni
ty to continue school while we
worked.
The combination of work and
school was a drain on my physical
health and at the same time a vital
stimulant to my life, feeding my
hunger for learning and further
ing my education. But my need and
interest in Charlotte College is not
so important as the Charlotteans’
need for a college. And why not
Charlotte College? It is a very
good school. Charlotte College
gives the people of Charlotte a
need that is vital to the growth of
the city. It affords an opportunity
for those high school graduates
who have to work to continue their
education and to enable them to
do a better job for their employers
and to climb higher in their field
of work. Also, for those graduates
who do not know in what direction
to turn their talents, Charlotte Col
lege gives them a chance to study
and to build a foundation on which
to base their vocations.
Charlotte College to rae means
more than my own personal gain;
it has opened the door to a new
way of life for many people and I
hope that the door may not be
closed.
