What Is Your Name ?
Aren’t names strange? Of
course I can speak from
experience on this subject. I have
the most common, uncommon
name you ever want to hear.
Wilkes Community College has
some interesting names. Wouldn’t
it be interesting if we could use
some of these names out of
context to see how they would
work out? We might find it
slightly amusing. Let’s try it!
Think about these!
-What would you do if someone
asked you the directions to Phillip
Canada?
-Would you be insulted or
pleased if someone wished you a
Steve Day?
-Would you declare war on
another country if the king shot at
you with a Doug Cannon?
-Would you take it as a slur on
your athletic equipment if
someone stated that you had a
Dusty Ball?
-Do you think a lawn watering
system would sell if its trade mark
were Joey Sprinkle?
-Would you buy a cigarette
lighter called a Shawn Sparks?
Corney, right?
Have you ever wondered why
some names are common and
some are not? Did you know that
the most common last name in the
world is “Johnson”. The most
common first name in the world is
“David”. So, David Johnson
must be the most common person
in the world.
Some people really fit their
names, or their names fit them.
Think about your friends. If you
could take their name and build a
person from it, would it look like
them?
Why were some words picked
to be names and others left out?
Sure there are names like John,
Paul, and Harry, but what is
wrong with Doorknob, Tree, and
Dirt? They probably mean as
much as names do. Names have
no definitions: they are just
words.
Names are great. The best ones
are the unusual ones. Unusual
names make unique individuals.
When I think of all the Steves,
Davids, Johns, and Mikes in the
world, it makes me glad to be a
Dusty. At least when a teacher
calls the roll, four people don’t
answer to my name.
From now on look at names
differently. They are more than
personal tags. Names are minia
tures of each individual. Carry
them with pride, think about
mine, and laugh.

Under the provisions of the
college constitution, a run-off
election was called for the two top
vote getters and on Wednesday,
May 4, the run-off election was
held.
Before the polls closed at 4:00
p.m., however, voting irregular
ities and inadeauate supervision
of the ballot box caused
impoundment of the ballots and
the necessity of a judicial council
ruling.
