Poge 4 THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN November 8, 1955 SPANISH CLUB HOLDS FIRST ANNUAL MEETING The C. C. Spanish Club got the year off to a fast start by holding their first meeting on October 28, 1955. The meeting was held at Mrs. Hoyle’s home and a large crowd was on hand to witness the fun. The club is proud to say that all the members of the Spanish 4 class and some of the Spanish 1 class have taken a big interest in the club’s activities. The evening was begun with movies having to do with Spanish customs and traditions. Some of the students could even understand the language. Don Trapp did a fine job of getting these films. The highlight of the evening i^ame when refreshments were ierved. The refreshments included punch, sandwiches, and other deli cacies. The refreshments were top ped off with home-made ice cream made by yours truly. The club looks as if it is headed xor another successful year. Every one had a fine time and enjoyed the meeting very much. Here’s hoping that we will do it again real soon. CAMP IS ADMITTED TO LOCAL BAR Lewis F.

RHO GAMMA ALPHA SORORITY The Rho Gamma Alpha Sorority got the school year started off with an open house for all freshman girls on September 29. The purpose of the open house was to tell the girls about the sorority and give all those interested a chance to join. There were nine girls who went through “Rat Week” and became members of the sorority. “Rat Week”wasa verythorough week for these girls, but they came through with flying colors. The following girls are now full fledged members of the Rho Gamma Alpha Sorority: Merle Reynolds, Dorothy McAllis ter, Barbara Duckworth, Nancy Fisher, Betty Jean Gladden, John- sie Greene, Gayle Hinson, Pat Ken drick, and Ann Padgett. This year the sorority has sev eral projects. The first project is to raise enough money to buy a club pin. The main project for the year is to promote school spirit. The officers of the Rho Gamma Sorority for the school year 1955- 50 are the following: President Patsy Hartsell Vice-President Joanne Hovis Sec'y-Treas. Martha Voyles "FLASH" Hey, have you heard about the Owl’s Roost? Yes sir, everybody’s shagging it on down to the Roost to get some of those wonderful re freshments. If you haven’t heard about or seen the Roost we want to set you straight. The Roost is on the sec ond floor near the C. C. office to ward the gym. Now that w'e have told you about it, we want to see you there. The Roost is under new manage ment and the food is wonderful. Lacy Saunders along with his help er, Joe Mullaney, will fix you up with some of that good food. The food down at the Roost is nothing but the finest and the prices are right, too. If you feel that hunger pang coming on run down and grab a snack. Mr. Saunders specializes in fresh sandwiches, cakes, cookies, candies, crackers, and hot coffee. While you are eating some of this good grub you will also have some other in- dulgers to knock around the bull with. Honestly folks, the Roost really needs your support. The Roost is a school project, and if they don’t make money we won’t have any Roost. So do the school and your self a big favor and come down and get some of the food. It’s here for you and we’re sure you'll like it. BASKETBALL COACH RETURNS C. C. and especially the basket ball team is happy to announce that last year’s basketball coach will be returning to C. C. for an other season. Miss Cone did a won derful job in securing a man who is admired by all his team and by the spectators at the games. Hugh “Buddy” Smith is the fab ulous man we are speaking of. Bud dy is a graduate of Central High School and W^ake Forest College. He was a standout athlete in both high school and college. At Central High School Buddy was a three let ter man and continued his athletics at Wake Forest primarily on the baseball diamond. Buddy is married and is presently employed in the Queen City. Going back to Buddy’s talents as a baseball player we would like to mention a few facts. After his graduation from Wake Forest he jumped into professional baseball and played his first season with the Charlotte Hornets of the Class B Tri-State League. Later he divided his talents between Rock Hill and Greenville and ended the season with a better than average batting average. So you can readily see that this man has all the qualifica tions to make a top notch coach. Coach Smith makes anyone more conscious about playing good ball and gives the players a more rounded technique of ball handling. The team is really going to put everything they have into basket ball while they are on the court and Buddy on the side lines guiding them. This isn’t all; Coach Smith is continually building better char acters out of his pupils and giving them a “must win” feeling. Although Coach Smith has had only one previous year of coach-ng experience at C. C., we are fore casting an excellent season this year. Along w'ith Buddy we will have almost half the team back with us this year and if they can’t do it, then nobody can. COLLEGIAN GETS ASSISTANT EDITOR The Charlotte Collegian and es pecially the editor is happy to an nounce that Gwen Daly has taken over the job as Assistant Editor for the newspaper. Gwen is one of the good looking girls you have probably seen around ths halls of C. C. during the first few weeks of school. It will be a pleasure working with her. Gwen comes fully qualified for the job. She was the editor of the Rambler at Central High School and turned out a fine paper. She is also a splendid writer and we hope that you will enjoy her lit erary ability. As you probably know, after having read the first edition of the Collegian, the paper’s editor has never had any experience with a newspaper or to be perfect ly frank with you, I have never had any experience with anything readable. With the assastance of Gwen you will probably notice a big change. "A MONKEY'S VIEWPOINT" Three monkeys dining once in a coconut tree were discussing some things that they had heard to be. “What do you think? Now listen you two; here, monkeys, is some thing that cannot be true. “That humans descend from our noble race. W’hy it’s shocking—a terrible disgrace. Whoever heard of a monkey deserting his wife; leaving a baby to starve and ruin its life ? “And have you ever known a mother monk to leave her darling with a stranger to bunk? Their babies are handed from one to another and some scarcely know the love of a mother. “And I’ve never known a monkey so selfish as to build a fence around a coconut tree so other monkeys can’t get a wee taste, but let all the coconuts there go to w'aste. “W’hy, if I’d put a fence around this coconut tree, starvation would force you to steal from me. And here is another thing a monkey won’t do: Seek a cocktail parlor and get on a stew, carouse and go on a whoopee, disgracing his life, then reel madly home and beat up his wife. They call this all pleasure and make a big fuss . . . They’re descended from something . . . BUT NOT FROM US.”
