A New Class And An Old Year
The school year is drawing sharply to an end. As we look back upon
the many things that have taken place this year, we can see that this
year has lieen one of the most eventful years in Charlotte College’s his
tory. We have helped Charlotte College observe her tenth anniversary.
We have seen the reactivation of the Sigma Lambda Chi Fraternity; we
have seen the expansion of the Rho Gamma Alpha Sorority.
Through the combined efforts of the faculty members, the student
government officers, and the entire student body, we have the Sigma
Tau Sigma Social Science Society and the Phi Theta Kappa Scholastic
Society. These two national scholarship societies are good examples of
the pi'ogress that has been made this year.
On June 4th, the largest graduating class in the history of Charlotte
College will march down the aisles of the auditorium. Almost all of
the graduates are going to senior institutions. These two facts point out
the need for Charlotte College.
Graduates are not saying good-bye
The members of the Class of 1957 are not saying good-bye to Char
lotte College; they are saying: “We will see you next week,” or, “We
will see you during the holidays.” The Class of 1957 will be watching
the progress of Charlotte College because Charlotte College has enabled
them to begin their pursuit of a well-rounded college education. The
graduates will return to Charlotte College to see the friends they have
made; they will return to look; and they will return to remember.
To the Class of 1958
We of the Class of 1957 are depending upon the members of the Class
of 1958 to carry out and expand the many projects that we have started.
You of the Class of 1958 now have the responsibility of leading student
activities. Do your jobs well. Many people are watching you. Uphold
the standards of our college and take pride in all of your activities. We
of the Class of 1957 believe that you of the Class of 1958 are going to
do your jobs to the best of your abilities.
To the 1956-1957 Charlotte Collegian Staff
Bob and I would like to express our sincere appreciation to the mem
bers of our staff for their cooperation and hard work. It has been a
pleasure to work with a staff of such varied interests, who helped make
the Collegian a paper of the students. Many members of the staff will
be back next year to help make the Collegian a bigger and better paper.
For the F"aculty:
Forty graduates as proof of teaching ability and human interest. For
Miss Cone; a college that has expanded and progressed under her direc
tion. We thank Miss Denny for her suggestions and aid on the Collegian
and Mrs. Hoyle for an annual that displays the life of the College. The
Social Committee under the guidance of Miss Raney has accomplished
a round of social activities that will be easily remembered. The Student
Council has had one of the most active years in the College’s existence.
Mrs. Winningham as Student Council adviser has helped to show us the
need for good government and the way it should function.
To Governor Hodges
We of Charlotte College are proud to present to you a college that
shows its youth not only in years of existence but in its vigor. We are
proud to have you as commencement speaker to the pioneer college in
this area whose hundreds of graduates speak more strongly and decisively
with each passing year. As a college with almost two hundred engineer
ing and technology students, we want not only to bring industry to
the State but to build it here. We are for a Governor who is for North
Carolina.
To The Basketball Team
We would like to thank you for an interesting season. There have been
fewer games harder fought and closer played. \ our contribution to the
school has been measured in terms of physical fitness and endurance.

“The Son of man came, not to be
ministered to, but to minister and
to give his soul a ransom in ex
change for many,” (Matthew
20:28)
Men are born imperfect and sin
ful. “Behold, I was brought forth
in iniquity; and in sin did my
mother conceive me” (Psalm 51:5).
Man could not release himself from
the condemnation of sin and death.
If he is to have future life, then he
must be ransomed or delivered from
this condemnation (Psalm 49:(i, 7).
It is God’s purpose that men
should have evei'lasting life. “This
means everlasting life, their taking
in knowledge of you, the only true
God, and of the one whom you sent
forth, Jesus Christ” (John 17:3).
A ransom or purchase price is
needed to accomplish this life-giv-
ing purpose. What is l)Ought with
the ransom price? Adam received
the death penalty for his disobe
dience (Genesis 1 and 2). That
which was lost was perfect human
life with its prospects and rights.
This penalty of death fell upon all
men (Romans 5:12). That which
was purchased by the ransom was
the same as that which was lost:
perfect human life with its rights
and earthly prospects. Concerning
the ransom, the Apostle Paul
wrote; “For there is one God, and
one mediator between God and
men, a man Christ Jesus, who gave
himself a corresponding ransom
for all” (I Timothy 2:5, 0).
Jehovah God provided the ran
som—an expression of His unde
served kindness—in His Son. How
happy was John the Baptist upon
beholding the Son of God! He ex
claimed, “See, the Lamb of God that
takes away the sin of the world!”
(John 1:29; I Peter 1:18, 19.)
The ransom is Christ’s blood
spilled in death, his human life
poured out in wilfull sacrifice. It
was provided here on earth when
he died. In heaven it was presented
as an offering with redemptive
value by the resurrected Messiah.
His human life was sacrificed for
ever; he was raised a divine spirit
cieature (I Peter 3:18). The sac
rificed human life remains effec
tive today with its full purchasing
power. Believing men may be ran
somed thereby (Hebrews 9:22, 24-
2(5).
Jehovah is impartial. The ran
som benefits are available to all
men of good will to God and to
His Son. “He that exercises faith
in the Son has everlasting life;
he that disobeys the Son will not
see life, but the wrath of God re
mains upon him” (John 3:3(!).
If a person is to benefit from the
ransom, he must act. He must in
form himself of Jehovah’s unde
served kindness through Christ and
then exercise faith in the provision
he has made. “For all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God,
and it is as a free gift that they
are being declared righteous by his
undeserved kindness through the
release by the ransom paid by
Christ Jesus. God set him forth as
an offering for propitiation
through faith in his blood. This
was in order to exhibit his own
righteousness because he was for
giving the sins that occurred in the
past while God was exercising for
bearance” (Romans 3:23-25).

Many thanks to those who were
nice enough to vote for me. I hope
that I will not disappoint your
trust. With the help of the x'eturn-
ing members of this year’s staff
I hope to give you an improved
paper.
I speak for the entire student
body when I congratulate Bob But
ler and Bill Drinkard for an ex
cellent paper this year. Without
their guidance and hard work on
every issue The Collegian would
not have improved so greatly. And
I join them in thanking the stu
dents who offered constructive
criticism, without which it is im
possible to improve.
It seems that the back page of
the last Collegian was the most
popular.
Owl Tracts, the literary publica
tion of the Writer’s Club, was well
received. The long hours of proof
ing, cutting, adding, etc., produced
a masterpiece for a first issue.
Owl Tracts will be published quar
terly next year, and all who have
any degree of literary ability
should contact Ronnie Shumate,
the new president.
Why doesn’t somebody give C. C.
air-conditioners for all classrooms?
The spring dance was without
a doubt the best this year.
I, for one, am glad that school
is almost over.

Club Chatter
By (lay Hinson
A YEAR OF PROGRESS—a
title which appropriately describes
the 1956-57 Charlotte College
school year and especially the Col
lege Clubs . . . such advancements
as the reactivation of Sigma Lamb
da Chi and the establishment of
two new honor societies, not to
mention the progress made within
the individual clubs. But this is
only the beginning; it is hoped and
expected that the C. C. clubs will
continue into another “Year of
Progress.”
The Rho Gamma Alpha sorority
combined their final business meet
ing of the school year with a
luncheon at the home of Ann Mc
Rorie. As their last project, the
girls decided to sponsor the prizes
for the Infant King and Queen of
Charlotte College. The sorority an
ticipates making plans for the
coming year around swimming
parties this summer.
Organized only a decade ago in
California, Sigma Tau Sigma has
recently invited outstanding junior
colleges over the country to par
ticipate in the national organiza
tion by forming a chapter in their
own college. Following the organi
zation at Charlotte College, mem
bers of Sigma Tau Sigma held their
banquet which was also attended
by all faculty members of the so
cial science department.
Members of the Sigma Lambda
Chi fraternity are planning a buf
fet supper to precede baccalau
reate, which will wind up the ac
tivities for the year. This well or
ganized group of men has added
to the college the “something spe
cial” that C. C. has not had in
years past.
The Cercle F'rancais (French
Club) held their annual banquet
the first weekend in May. Mem
bers, their guests. Dr. and Mrs.
Macy, and honor guest—Miss Cone
—enjoyed a dinner prepared in
French style in the French atmos
phere at the Chez Montet.
The highlight of the evening was
a romantic comedy production pre
sented by the Cercle Francais Thea
ter Guild. Here’s the drama in
brief: Scene—a dentist’s office.
Enter Le Gros Monsieur (a tot
tering old man) played by La Fon-
tine Odum and Jacques (Jack, a
dashing young blade) played by
Alan Pressman. Enter La Dentiste
(the dentist) portrayed by Rip Bass
in a straight ... I mean white
jacket. He asked who was first.
Immediately, the two patients are
at each other’s throats since they
entered the office simultaneously.
Then, enter Marguerite (Margaret)
a very lovely young French Miss
played by Sandra Roberts, and all
is solved when Jacques looks at
her. He decides to endure the pain
from his bicuspids a while longer.
Jacques offers Marguerite his mag
azine, but she refuses—she is hav
ing trouble with her bicuspids also
and doesn’t feel like reading. So,
they just talk—about this and that.
They find they have the same in
terests, both like martinis and
olives, and they live on the same
street. The gallant Jacques asks
if he may call, and the pretty Mar
guerite very sweetly says “Wee.”
Then enters la vieille Dame (an
old lady) played by Frances Mc-
Lester who is having trouble get
ting her false teeth to stay in place.
