c’iple of newspaper teamwork. An
editor must be able to depend upon
every workinj; member at all times
or the wheel loses balance and be

School spirit and a belief in the
necessity of the forthcominR prod
uct aie the essential aids.
When the proofs from the pi'int-
ers have been checked and le-
checked for errors, and are finally
scuttled off for the last time, a
feeling of satisfaction and great
achievement, and sometimes of com
plete exhaustion lies in the hearts
of every student who has taken an
active part in their production.
Yet another result of honest toil
comes from meeting a deadline.
That is the lasting feeling of
oneness, of brotherhood, of rejoic
ing together in the sight of a job
well done.
For the lonely freshman, for the
busy senior lacking an interest in
college life work for the paper is
the solution. Then college will be
his and only his to protect and to
work for.
future teachers of
AMERICA
The Future Teachers of Amer
ica Chapter was organized for the
first time last November.
Under the leadership of our ad
visor Miss Mary Denny the F. T. A.
elected a chairman and a member
ship committee at the first meeting.
At the second meeting the seven
members of the F. T. A. elected
their officers. Jane Anne Car
michael was elected as president,
.lohnsie Creen was chosen as vice-
president, Joanne Hovis became
secretary and Patsy Hartsell be
came treasurer.
The F. T. A. enables a future
teacher to become an integral part
of state and national education
associations. It is designed to de
velop ideals in the lives of its mem
bers, to enrich the spirit of college
life, to advance the interests of
the teaching profession, to promote
the welfare of children, and to fos
ter the education of all people.
This year the F. T. A. Chapter
has been asked to send a Miss and
Mr. Representative Student
Teacher to be presented to the
members of the North Cai’olina
Education Association during the
Annual Convention to be held in
Asheville, N. C., March 22-24.
Any student at C. C. who is
majoi'ing in education is invited to
join our C. C. Chapter of the
F. T. A.
THE OWL'S ROOST
Many times during the past
years there has been something
lacking at C. C. It wasn’t the hard
work, the teachers, or the warmth
of friendship to be found here. No,
it wasn't any of these; yet, there
was one thing missing. But now-
a-days that something is fulfilled
because the students have their
own little restaurant where they
can grab a snack and rest between
classes. Yes, its true that C. C.
has had an Owl’s Roost for many
years l>ut never any thing to com
pare with the caliber of the piesent
Owl’s Roost. This empty space at
C. C. has been filled only because
of a few fellows who have put their
heads together and have given us
our own little restaurant at the
school. If you’ve got only about a
minute to grab a snack, where
else is there to go but to the Owl’s
Roost? And if you want some
conversation from anything from
sports to women’s wearing apparel
where can you find it? You guessed
it. The Roost.
The other day I was w'alking
along the hall minding my own
business and who else but the as
sistant to the assistant hot choco
late jerker, Ralph Abercrombie,
should stick his head out from the
Roost and yell, “Hey you, got a
little proposition for you.” Now
listen, here’s the dope; for just ten
cent you can have some of this
refreshing, tasty, exotic, hot choco
late.
Now I ask you, where can you
find such salesmanship? But speak
ing of a real nice and energetic
fellow', you can surely find one in
the spit fire superviser himself,
Lacy Saunders. Yea, man, Lacy
has made this place like home. But
watch out if you see a flash of
bright light coming down the hall,
for its probably Lacy making a
B-line for the Roost. Makes me
perspire just to watch him.
No kidding folks, its really great
to have a place so convenient to
grab a snack. Just the other day
I heard a High School girl remark
that she wished that Central had
a place such as the Owl’s Roost.
The fellow's hope that you really
appreciate their little store. If you
want to know how big a success the
Roost really is just ask Miss Cone
about it because everytime its men
tioned you can see her burst out
with pride. And it should be that
way because the fellows have
worked hard to make it a success.
So when you’ve got a little extra
time and feel that hunger pang
coming on, go on down and visit
the Roost.
COFFEE HOUR BIG SUCCESS
The Charlotte College Student
Council was the host and hostess
to the students at C. C.’s last coffee
hour which was as usual a festive
occasion. Coffee hours at C. C. are
becoming one of the most popular
aspects of life at C. C. This is only
one of the advantages of attending
a small school. For the past years
the school has presented these get-
to-gethers so that students could
have a time to relax and meet with
their fellow “hook-worms” in an
off-the-cuff conversation.
What some people never seem to
comprehend is that there is an over
abundance of work, sweat, and
tears that goes into presenting one
of our refreshment hours in order
to make it a success. This column
would like to explain some of the
problems involved in the process of
holding this activity.
In the first place sandwiches have
to be ordered, cookies must be
bought, coffee has to be made, and
these things must be estimated with
the number of people who will at
tend and also with their appetites.
In other words its like a merry-go-
round, you’ve got to have enough
there to complete the circle and to
serve the endless flow of people
flocking through the entrance.
You’ve also got to have some able
bodied souls to be waiters and
waitresses. They scramble around
like squirrels collecting nuts, drop
ping things here, tripping over
there, trying to keep the show on
the road. Yes, it’s a tough job to
plan, execute, and clean-up after a
successful and enjoyable coffee
hour. The next time you are at a
coffee hour, how about dropping
a word or two of thanks to these
girls and boys. Believe me, they
have a rough job.

NEW COURSES FOR
WINTER QUARTER
C. C. is ahvays trying to expand
its corriculum so that our students
w'ill have a larger choice of subjects
from which to choose. We have in
the past years added many new
courses and this year is no excep
tion. C. C. has added two brand-
new courses to its roster this quar
ter.
A Creative Writings course is
now being offered w'ith Mr. Legette
Blythe as the instructor. This
course offers an opportunity for
persons who are interested in doing
creative writing to carry on their
efforts with the guidance and
supervision of an instructor. The
emphasis is on writing rather than
on the theory of w'riting. The class
will be conducted as a laboratory,
with the student concentration on
his special interest whether it be
in the field of short story, drama,
radio script, or magazine article
writing. The course began January
10 and W'ill conclude March IGth.
The second of our two new' stud
ies is a Grocer Checkers’ Course
W'ith Mr. Lewis H. Warwick in
structing the class. Some topics
to be included in the grocer check
ers course are as follows: a good
grocery checker, simple grocery
arithmetic, the use of the cash
register, the use of scales, sug
gested grocery checking procedures,
handling of special procedures,
marking and stocking merchandise,
handling customer telephone or
ders, and good customer relations.
Upon satisfactory completion of
this course the individual will re
ceive a certificate. This course be
gan January 30th and will conclude
March 12th.
Two other new courses have been
instituted for the first time at
Charlotte College during this quar
ter. Business Administration fi
(Retail Merchandising) and Busi
ness Administration 7 (Textiles)
will make their debut this quarter.
NEW INSTRUCTOR
Charlotte College would like to
announce that it has acquired the
services of one new instructor for
the Winter quarter. Mr. John G.
Wheslock will teach a course in
Economics 31. C. C. is continually
trying to broaden its faculty mem
bership and have taken a step in
the right direction by obtaining
Mr. Wheslock. This is the first
quarter he has taught at Charlotte
College.
