By POLLY MANNING.
Post Staff Writer
.. Tfils week the Post has as its
Beauty Miss Cheryl McCul
lough. She is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John McCul
lough of 2816 Burbank Or.
..Cheryl is a ninth grader at
Wilson Junior- High School
where she is a cheerleader,
and was elected the black
“Homecoming Queen." "In
order that the procedure will
be fair, we always have a
black homecoming queen and
a white one. The queens ar£
selected by the vote of the
student body, “explained Che
ryl.
. .Cheryl has an older brother,
John McCullough. Jr. “He
prefers to be called “Ace"
because he is named after our
father. He is alright as a big
brother, at times. He isn't
bossy and I like that. He's 1?
and thinks he knows every
thing,” was the way Miss Mc
Cullough described him.
. .Miss McCullough has as her
hobbies; dancing, singing, and
riding the bicycle, she pre-.
fers dancing. The bump is her
favorite dance, and of course
she mastered it from “Soul
Train."
..The McCullough family at
tends Salem Baptist Church
where Rev. M. H. Bostic is the
pastor. Cheryl sings on the
junior choir, she is a junior
usher, and is a member of the
missionary department.
..Our Beauty's favorite actor
is Max Julien. “I just love the
way he acts, smiled Cheryl.
He seems to put his all into his
movies and it really appears
as if he’s having fun. My
favorite movie was "Thom •
asine and Bushrod." In this
movie he teamed up with his
lady. Vonetta McGee. It was
really nice.
..The 5-feet, 3-inches, 115
pounds. Miss McCullough is
born under the sign of Cancer.
In describing them she said
they sfre very talkative, they
love to be around people, and
they love debates.
..Cheryl would like to trade
places with Gladys Knight for
one day. "I'm sure hers is an
interesting life. Singing, re
cording. luncheons, and being
a mother must take a lot of
time. She seems poised and
well organized. I would just
like to know for one day how
popularity would affect me."
..Cheryl doesn’t have a some
one special as of yet. "I have a
friend but I wouldn't really
consider him a someone spe
cial right now. Eventually it
may turn into that, but not
now."

Referendum
Seeks Travel
Improvements
By James Culhbertson
Host Staff \\ riter
..In three weeks. Char*
lotteans will go to the polls to
vote on a major $59.5 million
bond package that can mean
improvements in four met
hods of travel-flying, walking. .
biking and riding the bus.
. .On April 8, local voters will
vote on five items which are a
“part of long-range plans to
move people, goods and ser
vices faster and more effi
ciently".
..The items include $55 mil
lion in Airport bonds. $1.5
million in sidewalk bonds,
$500,000 in bikeway bonds, and
$2.5 in public transportation
bonds.
The fifth item will be a
special referendum seeking
ujipiuioi iu u^r piu*
perty lax revenues to support
the bus system if it is pur
chased by the city.
The airport bonds, repre
senting the biggest portion of
the referendum calls for the
construction of a nett terminal
building to replace the small
building that is presently
handling a large amount of
passenger and freight loads
which are rapidly increasing.
In a few years, the present
facility won't be big enough to
accomodate the load." offi
cials sav.
Douglas Airport is a self
sustaining operation, spokes
men said. That is. the airport
suppports itself on fees from
airlines, terminal restaurants
and the like. And that is how
the bonds will be repaid
through airport revenues.
For more than 10 years, the
city government has waged a
major campaign for sidewalk
construction. These funds will
provide for XI miles of side
walks. Citizens, groups and
the School system will aid city
government in determining
sidewalk construction sites.
The bikrway bonds will be
used to get the estimated
HH.Oofl bicycles in the city off
the highways and onto bike
paths. The paths will link
parks, museums and schools,
officials say.
The public transportation
bonds will be used to buy the
bus system and to maintain it

as several improvements-new

bond package does not mean
an increase in taxes, just an
increase in service and travel
efficency.
