Spanish Clubbers presented Mrs. Hoyle with a medallion engraved in Spanish, reading, “from the spanish club.” Tommy Miller, pres ident of the club, made the presen tation. Graduates Dinner Tomorrow Night The 1958 graduates of Charlotte College and the faculty will have a banquet on Saturday, May l!l, at Kuester’s dining room on Wil kinson Boulevard. Approximately 150 people are expected to attend this affair, which is sure to be an enjoyable occasion. It is uncertain at this time just what the entertainment will be, but we are sure that it will be most appropriate. Any graduate who expects to bring a guest to the banquet should pay his $2.25 to Miss English in the office. W’e hope to see every graduate and faculty member pres ent at this annual gathering.

French Club Ends Year The French Club has been rel atively inactive this Spring quar ter because of the small number of students taking the subject. Dr. Macy and president John Ballard have both expressed hope that more students will sign up for French in the Fall so that the club will be able to have more and varied programs. These pro grams are designed to create a deeper interest in the French peo ple, their language, culture, and country. Past programs have been well received by those students in at tendance. This year has been a successful one, but next year can be and should be an even better one. Among (he numbers presented were the following: Don Baxter and band, featuring Don Keitan at the piano, with vocalist Caro lyn Brown; tenor soloist Joe O’Neil; Joe Mullis, hillbilly voc alist, with instrumentalists; Earl Wentz, piano soloist and accom panist; Shirley Skidmore, op eratic soprano; the Catalinas, a vocal and instrumental rock-and- roll group; Merwin Foard, bass- baritone vocalist; Clyde Swof- ford, comedian; Bob Berryhill and Mary Klouse, comic ballet dancers; Jo Ann Cheek, major ette and baton artist; and sev eral dance numbers by students of the Grose School of Dancing. Dick Boward, Charlott? Opera singer, rendered “The Song of the Flea.” Mr. Littlejohn commented that, despite the small audience, the show was enthusiastically received. The Assembly Committee announc ed that in its final report a rec ommendation for the establishment of a special Student Council com mittee to organize and produce such a variety show in the future would be included. Others who contributed their ef forts to the production were Mar garet Fisher, chairman of tickets and programs; Harold Schwartz, sound engineer; Fred Skipper and Fred Skaff, lighting engineers; and Patty Hill, makeup assistant. ^ 9^ : Sigma Tau Sigma Officers Are Elected; Final Banquet Held Wiley Martin was unanimously chosen president of Sigma Tau Sigma in an election held Friday, May 16.

Wiley Maitin Annual Spring Dance Well-Attended, Was The Freshman Gift To Sophomores The annual Spring Dance, given to the Sophomores as a graduation gift by the Freshmen, was held Saturday, May 17, at the Veterans' Club on E. Moi-ehead Street. The hours were 8:30 to 11:30. Despite a sudden downpour of rain, the dance was well-attended. Tables with candlelight, the only light source on the floor, were placed along the walls, leaving an adequate space for dancing. Refreshments consisted of grape punch and vai’ious cookies. They were served by Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Martin. Martin is president of the Freshman class this year. Many alumni were present at the event, among them Nancy Fisher, Brona Foster, and Bill Henson. Miss F’isher was the Si Si editor last year, Henson the President of the Student Government, and Miss F'oster was chairman of the Social Committee. Notable among the dancers were Mr. and Mrs. Winningham and Miss Nora Leza and her escort. Cindy Maydanis, co-chairman of the Social Committee, theorized that the rain kept many couples from the affair. Many guests stated that the event was the best social affair of the year. The dance concluded the calen der of social events for this school year. Included in the agenda were also two other dances, two picnics, and coffee hours.
