THE CHARLOTTE COLLEGIAN
Februory, 1956
OWLS STILL FIGHTING
Well the basketball season is
more than half-way over and to-
date the record of the Owls is very
unimpressive. As th's paper went
to press the conference record stood
at no games won and nine games
lost and an over-all record of three
wins ten losses.
One of the hardest losses to
digest thus far in the season was
the game played at Wilmington
against Wilmington Junior College.
The Owls jumped off into this
game with seven men on the court
and were minus the aid of their
scoring ace Jerry Gaudet. The first
half was extremely close with the
Owls holding a tight lead most of
the way. The “maroon and gray”
then retired to their dressing room
with a two point margin at half-
time.
As the second half began Char
lotte College quickly increased their
lead to five points. It was about
this time, however, that the roof
caved in. Wilmington then poured
on the steam and tied-up the con
test at forty-three all. The boys
from the East then bounced into
the lead with about ten minutes
left in the game. At this po'nt the
Owls, handicaped by a small crew,
were dealt another blow. Two of
their starters. Bill Mills and Ross
Johnson, fouled out. As the Owl
Warrors began to grow weary the
Wilmington coach dug into his re-
DANCE DATE SET
C. C. is to present its first danco
of the Winter quarter on February
17th in the gymnas'um. The Christ
mas Dance was a big success and as
a follow’-up the Social Committee,
to keep up the spirit, will have
Jimmy Kilgo as Master if Cere
monies. The details have not yet
been planned but what we under
stand is that Mr. Kilgo, who is a
disc jockey on station W.I.S.T. and
is famous throughout Charlotte for
the orginator of “Kilgo’s Corner”
will monitor his program from the
dance.
If you were at the Christmas
Dance and had a good time, which
I know' you did if you were there,
you will want to he present on
February 17th for the next big
shing-dig.
serve strength and got five fiesh
boys off the bench. They succeeded
in I'unning the Owls to death and
concluded the game with a 84-(il
victory.
One of the largest home crowds
in quite a spell, an estimated (i.^
fans, saw P. J. C. run C. C. wild
and then walk off w'ith an easy
victory. The “maroon and gray”
did, however, trim P. J. C.’s gigan
tic lead in the third quai'ter but
the wild horses led by Eddie Ben
nett and Carson McClain were just
too much for the Owls to handle.
Although the record of the Owls
is very poor, the interest in basket
ball is greatly increasing and we
hope to see more fans in the stands.
The cheerleaders, the first in C. C.’s
history, add a great deal of color
to the games. Just remember that
both baseball and football were
dropped at C. C. because of a lack
of interest. A school needs a good
athletic program and the growth
of a school depends to some extent
on the athletic programs. In future
years this athletic program will be
even larger if the school and the
students desire it. But for now,
let's not let basketball die at C. C.
Go out and support the team when
ever the team is in town and you
have a few hours of spare time
which you w'ould like to spend in
an enjoyable manner. BACK THE
OWLS.

RECORD ROUND-UP
Well, here wo ar3 again in the
cold month of February and it is
time for anoth >i- “chat” about
what’s happening on the musical
scene. Let’s go.
Man, things have changed dur-
ing the past few weeks. It Icoks
as if all the recording companies
are trying to hit the toj)-tune US':
minus singers. The Rhythm and
Blues field is falling fast and in
its place we’re listening to such
instrumentals as ’’Lisban Antigua”
by Nelson Riddle and his orchestra.
This is a real smooth disc and it’s
going like wild fire.
Here’s something new in case
you haven’t heard about it during
the past few weeks. Jackie Gleason
has a new album out that is goin.g
to remodel the music field. It is
called the “new sound” and it fea
tures Jackie, his orchestra and
chorus. The song of wh'ch we are
speaking is “Capri In May” on a
Capitol label. If you want some
music to di-eam by, this is what
you need.
After “He” AI Hibler has come
back strong with his cool plattei- of
“Eleventh Hour Melody.” This fel
low has really done something with
his voice although he is blind.
A tune that has been ai'ound
foi' quite awhile is now making a
dash for the top. It has every
thing it needs to make it, too.
"Band of Gold” by Don Cherry is
taking the place of “Memories are
Made of This” by Dean Martin.
The composition is perfect and the
back ground vocal arrangement
gives it a quality which is hard to
beat in any man’s t)ook.
Benny Goodman and his great
orchestra are making a come-back
and will probably be ranked with
Cilenn Miller and his orchestra as
an all-time favorite. The “Benny
Goodman Stoi’y” will soon be shown
at one of the local theatres and
will really sell the buying jiublic
on this type of music.
Well, it looks as if this is the
end of the line for this column and
we had better be saying good-by
Remember to be good and keep-on
singing.
NEW BUILDING
By this time 1 expect everyone
has wondered what is being con
structed at the rear of the school
in back of the gymnasium. The new
building is to be an electi'cnics
laboratory and will also have a
few class rooms located inside. The
new building will cost approxi
mately $100,000 and will be jointly
paid for by Charlotte College and
the city. Both C. C, and Central
High School will use the building
and the college will have an office
there also.
