Please come by the table and voice your opinion. BONNIE PHIPPS — CAPTAIN President’s Message SYLVIA CHURCH Soon it will be time to vote in national and state elections. This age old process is an integral part of our democracy, allowing citizens to decide who will represent us in the halls of government. If recent trends continue, only a small percentage of eligible voters will exercise the right and privilege of voting. Sad to say, but many Americans question if their vote means much, if anything, to the process. Many thousands of others have never registered to vote upon reaching the age of 18. This election is crucially important for our state and our country. Your vote does make a difference! The majority voice should be repre sentative of all our people - not just a few. If you have not registered to vote - do so. If you doubt the impact of your individual vote, don’t! It, added to others, is the only voice of the people that matters. November 4, 1980, is Election Day. Study the candidates and the issues. Vote! 1. DEBBIE FERGESON These Are the Candidates That Want to Serve You DR. DAVID DANIEL Fall Dance At Last!!! FALL DANCE...

Of the ten girls who tried out for the squad, only five were chosen. These five, along with the previous five chosen in spring tryouts will compose the squad. The girls were given one week of practice prior to tryouts in order to learn one dance routine, one standard cheer with a stunt, one cheer of their own, two jumps of their choice, and two chants. The girls were also required to respond to a question concerning cheer- leading as a part of their tryout procedure. After the judges had seen the girls perform, they marked their score sheets and they were tallied. The five lucky girls scoring the highest were Debbie Fergeson, Sylvia Church, Crystal Stone, Terry Woodie, and Lori Norton. From these five, a co-captain will be chosen. These girls, along with sophomore cheerleaders Diane Watt, Sherry Martin, June Brooks, Yvette Mikeal, and captain Bonnie Phipps, will be cheering for the Cougars throughout the coming year. We would like to congratu late the new cheerleaders and wish them lots of luck. A special thanks goes to Brenda Jolly, cheerleading sponsor, for making tryouts run so smoothly. Personality Profile In this month’s edition, Personality Profile takes the privilege to interview a very interesting personality. I’m speak ing of Weaverville commuter Mike Cogdill. Here’s the run down: 1 have one word to explain Mike Cogdill, “participation.” Entering his second year as a student at WCC, Mike is very much involved in extra-curricular activities. Serving as Sophomore Class President, Mike has the chance to mingle with his classmates and help make this educational year enjoyable. Mike is also the editor of the Cougar Cry, serves on the “Cougar” yearbook staff; is a member of WCC’s Phi Beta Lambda organi zation; and, if time permits, will play intercollegiate basketball. While at Wilkes Community, Mike is working toward his Associates in Arts degree. After graduation, Mike plans to further his studies at one of three universities: University of Geor gia, University of Tennessee, or The University of Missouri where he will study toward a BA degree in Broadcast-Journalism. In working with Mike, I have found he possesses the characteristics of academic ability and motivation, both of which are mandatory to achieve such goals. Mike’s hobbies include water- skiing, athletics, and enjoying the company of his friends. If you have not met this “Wild and Crazy Guy,” take the opportunity to stop and say hello.
