Rambli’n Round By Max Petty The student Lounge was hot and crowded that first day of registra tion! While standing there, I heard a student say! “Well I thought that coke machine over there was a fan. I heard the motor running and looked around for the blame thing, but couldn’t find it. I didn’t really expect to find a fan in Charlotte College, considering how hot it was down there.” (For those students who are not familiar with the Lounge, there is no Fan , so don’t go there expecting to get cool-—) Here’s a hint to us all! “For some years S.E.L. Warwich taught school in the Blue Ridge Mountains district of Virginia. Try ing always to impress the virtue of honesty on his students, he re quired them to give a pledge that they had neither given nor received help on their examinations. One girl handed in her paper with this pledge on it: “I haven’t received no help on this exam, and Lord knows I couldn’t give any.” So long, Students! ed the 21st anniversary of birth on July 1, lyou are e 1 i g i L) 1 lu apply lor tUe iNavy Collegei /aptitude lest.

Do your best in making able the few clubs you join a larger suc cess. Believe me, when one can take pride in attainments well done as a group, the effort is worth the sacrifice of other activities.
