for only one night a week; so he
may be unfamiliar to many of you.
He is 5’11” tall; has brown hair;
wears brown very nicely. Look for
him, if you will, and give him the
hand of welcome to our school.

The whole chemistry lab might
blow up, but the calm voice of Mr.
■Albert M. Thorne would assure the
student at fault that all would be
well. You say, “Your’re exagger
ating a wee bit, aren’t you?” Well,
maybe I am, but the fact remains
that this chemistry instructor is a
very easy-going, mild-mannered
man, who is respected by each of
his students.
An employee of Celanese Cor
poration, Mr. Thorne is assisting
Dr. McColley (away on leave at
present) in the chemistry labora
tory.
Although he was born in Long
Island, New York, and has lived in
various northern towns, we like
to claim him as a true Charlottean,
as he has been with us in Char
lotte for about eight years.
Lehigh University in Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania, is where Mr. Thorne
received his B.S. degree.
A teen-age son and a pre-teen
daughter claim a big part of his
time, besides his hobbies of pho
tography, camping, and scouting.
We wish to welcome Mr. Thorne
to our college with the hope that
he finds a source of real pleasure
from his work here.

Her hobby is people—fat ones,
slim ones, sweet ones, strange ones
—all people; and to make this
hobby even more real, she teaches
people a course about people! That’s

teacher. Besides her teaching ac
tivities, she is personnel manager
for the National Carbon Corpora
tion.
A Charlotte native and Central
graduate. Miss Laslie attended
Woman’s College of Alabama and
Queens College.
Medium height, short brunette
hair, glasses—these are a part of
her neat, well-groomed appearance.
In her family are two brothers
(one coaches football at West
Point) and one sister. However,
they do not live nearby, so we
would like to take this opportunity
of welcoming and “adopting” Miss
Laslie into our family of faculty
and students at Charlotte College.

Ever hear rollicking laughter
peal from room 315? Ever wonder
about the blond (crew-cut) haired
fellow who strides happily along
the halls of CC ? Let me tell you
about him.
The laughter is from the English
classes taught by Mr. Glenn Leslie
Browne, who comments, “I believe
in having a good time!” Surely, this
is reflected in his bantering smile
and dancing blue eyes.
Before coming to Charlotte (he
presently is teaching Tenth Grade
English at Myers Park), Mr.
Browne was visiting lecturer at the
University of North Carolina. (He
hopes to complete his Master’s
there this summer.) Lenoir Rhyne
College in Hickory, North Carolina,
is his Alma Mater, although he
claims Savannah, Georgia, as his
home town.
A bachelor and amateur photog
rapher, he is also an avid sports
car fan. His dream is to own a
new Thunderbird. We hope his
dream comes true, but more than
that we wish for Mr. Browne many
happy quarter hours at Charlotte
College.

■Mr. Ea.sley liruce Harton (E.E.
201) is present in Owl Land on
Monday night only, but on that one
night he gives not only a degree of
knowledge to his students but an
ample serving of good-natured
friendship.
Winnsboro, South Carolina, is his
home town (one, I’d say, he was
mighty proud of these days!) and
Clemson College is his school.
A Charlotte resident since ’49,
Mr. Barton is employed regularly
in the P and T department of Duke
Power Company. His spare (?)
time is filled with family life—his
wife and two healthy boys. Hobby?
—Photography.
If you’re around the new build
ing some Monday ’bout 7:00, look
for him (he’s 5’10”—wears clear
rimmed glasses—has dark hair)
and welcome him to Charlotte Col
lege!

FLASH—On the 29th day of No
vember a new and exciting chapter
will be written into the pages of
the history of Charlotte College.
On that day at 7 o’clock in the
evening the CC baskbetball team
touches off what could be the most
successful season of basketball to
date. This year the team has
changed leagues. Charlotte College
is now in the Jack Love League.
Other members of the league are
Queen City Trailways, Marine Re
serve, Schwam, Faul & Crymes, and
the Jaycees.
Last year all of CC’s home games
were played in the Piedmont Jr.
High Gym. Those gloomy days are
over. This year CC will be playing
in one of the most modern arenas in
the South, the Charlotte Park Cen
ter. Because of the added luxury
a slight fee of 50c will be charged
at the door. Each Thursday night
all six teams will be engaged in
three contests. In other words, you
will see three games for only a half
dollar.
In some aspects this new league
is tougher than the one CC just
dropped out of. Almost all of the
other teams have had previous col
lege basketball experience. Some of
them were first string players for
some of the big colleges. For the
most part CC is a younger team
and should be competition because
of their speed and accuracy under
the baskets.
Jerry Gaudet, leading scorer for
Charlotte College last year, is not
very superstitious. For the third
straight year he is defying fate.
He wears jersey number 13. . . .
Question—If CC should win one of
the three trophies the Jack Love
League is giving away, where could
we put it? At the moment there
is not a trophy case at Charlotte
College. . . . Almost all the basket
ball players in the Jack Love
League are playing or have played

Buddy Smith—Coach.
on a college team . . . Coach Buddy
Smith works for Carolina Veteri
nary Supply Company. He was
overheard giving one of his ace
players advice on what to take for
his cold. Wonder if he is trying to
sell his products off duty. . . .
Charlotte College has its full load
of 15 men on the basketball team.
Eleven of them are over 6 feet. . . .
