Scholarship
Bank Announces
New Sources for
Private
Financial Aid
Students looking for supple
mental private scholarships,
grants and loans should be
pleased to learn that there are over
1,350 new scholarships available
through The Scholarship Bank.
According to the director of the
private search service, these
scholarships are primarily for
undergraduates, although gradu
ates may also apply. Many of the
sources are renewable annually,
according to the director. Scholar
ships are available to students in
business, liberal arts, humanities,
law, sciences, and hundreds of
other majors. Students are urged
to apply in the Fall for these
sources as most applicants apply
in the Spring when most of the
financial aid is used up.
The Scholarship Bank coope
rates with college financial aids
offices and does not duplicate
their work, which is concerned
mostly with public sources of aid.
Students may get further informa
tion from The Scholarship Bank
by sending a business-sized,
stamped, self-addressed envelope
to the Bank at 10100 Santa
Monica Blvd., #750, Los Angeles,
CA. 90067. There is a modest
charge for the individual search
for each student.
For further information see Mr.
Larry Caudill in Student Services.

yearbook before Dec. 1,

LORELEI WILLIAMS
Student Profile:
Lorelei Williams
Lorelei Williams is the
daughter of Savannah Williams
and she resides in Route 2, North
Wilkesboro. She is a freshman
here at WCC and enrolled in the
College Transfer program of
Associate in Science. When
finished here, she is considering
making her transfer to North
Carolina State University, but she
has not totally decided as of yet.
As for her major, she is decided
between working with computers
and writing.
Lorelei graduated from North
Wilkes High School in 1976 and
after that she worked for 6 years
at Lowes Company. She has
always been active in school and
community activities. While in
high school, she participated in
track, the CYO (Christian Youth
Organization), intramural sports,
and she was drum majorette her
senior year. She was also involved
in the Junior Miss pageant where
she performed a ballet routine.
She is presently the youth choir
director at Oak Grove Baptist
Church on 268 East, and here at
WCC, Lorelei is president of the
BSU (Baptist Student Union) and
an editor of the Cougar staff.
Lorelei also has many hobbies
and past-times. She loves all
sports and all outdoor activities,
including hiking, fishing, swim
ming and water skiing, motor
cycle riding, softball, volleyball
and dancing. In the past, she has
done a lot of traveling including a
trip overseas for one month. She
loves to travel and experience new
adventures. She even tried
parachuting once. When asked if
she liked it, she replied, “I’m glad
I did it, but I wouldn’t do it
again.”
This summer she had the time
to go tubing, canoeing and taking
walks with her collie, but recently,
she reluctantly admits, her time
has been devoted to her studies
and the yearbook. Lorelei is a
very friendly and interesting
person, and I suggest that if you
haven’t met her, you make a
special effort to do so before you
leave WCC.
