Student Council Banquet Held
To Fete New, Old Members
The annual Student Council banquet for incumbent members and
members-elect was held Saturday evening. May 24, at 7;00 P. M., at the
Steak Palace on Albemarle Road. Everyone was treated to a steak dinner.
This banquet is the only social
Kathering during the school year
for Student Council members; it
is the only tangible reward for
their services to the students of
Charlotte College.
The gathering was not entire
ly for social purposes, however;
the idea was to convene all out
going and incoming members in
order that the former might dis
cuss the working of the organi
zation to the latter and give
them the benefit of their past
experience. Because of the com
plexity of the Council’s opera
tions, there was a definite need
for such a meeting.
The group also discussed sev
eral items of unfinished business
that were not cleared from this
year’s agenda, in order that the
new Council may commence the
new school term with a clean slate.
Miss Edyth Winningham, the
faculty advisor for the Student
Council, expressed her enjoyment
of having worked with the group
this year. In return for her contri
butions of time, and efforts the
members presented her with a gift
in token of their appreciation.

Miss Raney said that the theme
of the meeting, “The Importance
of Selling in a Recession Period,”
was very interesting and timely.
She said that such meetings keep
Business and Advertising teachers
informed on current trends in the
selling profession, as well as serv
ing to stimulate and encourage
more of efficient salesmanship
among the hundreds of salesmen
in this area.

Writers Club To Publish
Owl Tracs Book Again
By Ronnie Shumate
The Writers’ Club has not been
too active this year. There are
numerous reasons for this inactiv
ity. Some might say the interest
declined. Others would probably
say the leaders of the club were
inadequate. No conclusions will be
drawn at this time, but the hope
is that next year’s Writers' Club
will be a better organized, more
active club than this year’s club
has been.
The Writers' Club has had four
meetings thus far this year. The
little that has been accomplished
has been done within the past few
weeks with the cooperation of the
few faithful old members and the
interested new members. Invita
tions were sent out to twenty-five
prospective new members. Six of
these responded to the invitations.
An issue of the club magazine.
The Ou'l Tract/!, will be published
before graduation. The publication
of this magazine is due to a few
faithful ones who were interested
enough to contribute. Of course the
fact remains that many are busy
with preparing for exams, the
publication of other papers and so
forth. These have a legitimate ex
cuse, but what about the others?
The Owl Tracts is not an indivi
dual thing. It is a school publica
tion and the students should have
enough interest in the school to at
least contribute something.
As this year’s president, I feel
I owe an apology to the student
body as well as the members of
the club for my own shortcomings
insofar as the W'riters’ Club is
concerned. It is my sincere hope
that next year’s president and the
club as a whole will, and I am
sure that they will, do a better job.
