THE YULE TIDE SEASON
Upon us once the season of the year that is closest
to the hearts of us all. Yes, Christmas is just around the corner.
We, the staff of the Collegian, feel as if we owe many thaiTks
to all of our readers. It has been a wonderful privilege to publish
the Charlotte Collegian for you this quarter.
Also at this time of the year I think it appropriate to point
out a couple of unsung heroines. First, let us acknowledge the
fine job Kanela Maydanis has done for us as Business Manager
of the paper. Kanela’s drive has been a relentless one and we
are all very proud of the job she is doing.
Margaret Faulkenberg is also one young lady that is going
to be missed terribly down here at C. C. next quarter. Margaret
has been our gossip column writer this year and needless to
say she has done a great job. Margaret finishes up down here at
C. C. this quarter and she will be missed by all of us.
Last, but certainly far from least, is Patsy Hartsell. You
probably haven’t seen Patsy’s name in the paper a single time
this year, but believe me without her we wouldn’t ever have
a newspaper. We are proud to say that Patsy will officially
become a member of our staff next quarter.
Thanks to all of you for helping with this year’s “Charlotte
Collegian.” Here’s wishing each and every one of you a very
Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
EXAMS
Well, we’ve been through about three months of schooling,
and now it is time to see how much we’ve learned.
This, man, is the week that none of us have been waiting
for. This is the week of final fall quarter exams down here at
Charlotte College.
As we look back over these three months we are tempted
to second guess a little bit. No doubt this writer can think of
many chances that he muffed during this quarter. Neverthe
less, all of this is history and we have next quarter to look
forward to.
I believe that all the newcomers at Charlotte College will
agree with us oldtimers when we say that to pass at C. C. you
have got to study and study hard.
After exams we have two weeks of leisure before we start
back in January. Here’s hoping all of you have a big Christrnas
and Santa, I’m sure, will bring you nothing but straight “A’s.”
FRESHMAN CLASS ORGANIZED
November 4 was election day at
C. C. for the Freshman Class offi
cers. Running were: Frank Robin
son and Jerry Crocker for Presi
dent, David Sherer and Bobby
Gregg for Vice-President, Martha
Voyles and Pat Faulkner for Sec-
retary-Treasurer. The votes were
counted and the winners were Da
vid Sherer, Vice-President, and
Martha Voyles, Secretary-Treas-
urer. The decision for President
was not quite as simple as that.
There had to be a run-off between
Frank Robinson and Jerry Crocker.
The count was close, but Frank
came out on top to be the Fresh
man Class President for 1954-55.
The officers are now busy set
ting up committees and looking for
willing and capable committee
chairmen. If you know anyone who
you think would make a dependable
chairman please contact any of the
above officers and submit your
suggestion. We need all the help
we can get in appointing these
chairmen.
The Freshman Class now has an
advisor. I’m sure that you all will
be glad to learn that Miss Mary
Denny has consented to advise us
during our trials and tribulations.
This year we want everyone to
join us in making this year the big
gest and finest yet in the history
of Charlotte College. In order to do
this we must all participate in as
many activities as possible. These
activities include basketball games
as well as dances and other social
affairs. We have several Fresh
men on the team and we should
support our fellow classmates. If
you’ve ever wondered why an af
fair was a flop, you can usually pin
it down to the people who weren't
there. Let’s not let this happen to
us. Let’s all participate and make
everything we do this year a whop
ping success so we can know that
we had a big part in making it the
success it was.

FINANCIAL REPORT —DECEMBER, 1954
About the first of October, the Student Council approved a
budget for this quarter totaling $575.00.
$225.00 was alloted to the newspaper, $225.00 to the Social
Committee for the Hallow'e’en Dance and for the Christmas
Dance. The Publicity Committee was granted $25.00 and the
Athletic Committee was alloted $100.00.
By December 3, the newspaper had spent $149.20 with one
issue of the paper yet to be published and to be paid for. The
Social Committee has spent $141.89 with the Christmas Dance
yet to be paid for also. However, the Council later (since Octo
ber) allocated $25.00 to the Social Committee in addition to
the original $225.00. The Athletic Committee has spent $99.17
so far. It is highly possible that more money will have to be
allocated to them because only part of the new uniforms have
been paid for ($61.90 for uniforms so far) and two more out-
of-town games have been scheduled to be played this quarter.
We have on hand now a total of $1137.03, w’ith $693.30 of
this belonging to the Annual, leaving $443.73 for the remaining
expenses of the quarter.
