Lunocs mem! Well, we are about to embark on the fall of 1980. Even though the weather is still hot and humid and the leaves have yet to shed their summer green coat for their more colorful fall attire, the seasonal happenings are here. One of the most popular seasonal gatherings is held every Saturday in an oval containment called a football stadium. Even though the main attraction is the gathering of real estate by two opposing college teams, an interesting sideline is the deluge of pretty women prancing around in short skirts better seen through the lens of a sea of binoculars that just happen to be handy. Last Saturday evening Memorial Stadium provided the arena for the show. Johnson C. Smith University and Le noir-Rhyne College provided the enter tainment. From the prancing, pretty ladies to the battling juggernauts the i many spectators got their money’s worth. Among the spectators were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Snead, Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Montgomery, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Spears, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Aaron, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Green and Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Egleston. The game at Memorial Stadium was well worth the price of admission and there was a very good turn out for the opening game - but not all Charlotteans stayed around for it. The Charlotte Ram and Aggie followers traveled to Winston-Salem last Saturday night to witness the shoot-out at Grove Stadium between North Carolina A&T and Winston-Salem State. Some of the ‘trekkers’ were Mr. and Mrs. William Cummings, Mr. and Mrs. Hazel Price, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jones and Mr. and Mrs. Pettis Stewart. COMMUNITY REUNION...It really warms the. heart when we see people from the old neighborhood. It is especially rewarding when we can spend some time together and reminisce about some of the people, the hang outs and the wild things that were done. To organize such a gather ing is a monumental endeavor. Nonetheless it’s going to be done. Every Thursday at 6 p.m. in the Commun ity Center at Fairview Homes, a meeting is being held. The purpose of this meeting is to make arrangements for the 40th Anni versary of Fairview Homes. Saturday, October 4, has been targeted as the date for this affair which will begin at 11 a.m. This event hopes to bring together residents, past and present, for a festive occasion in celebration of one of Charlotte’s oldest neighborhoods. Some of the people who are involved in the planning are Mrs. Willie T. Hart, Ceasar Wallace, Viola McClendon, Purvis Lee, Bernita Morgan, Billy Hopkins Jr., Ella Yarborough, Luticia Gaddy, Fay Jones and Belinda Williams. If anyone would like further information or would like to participate in the planning of this event, contact Mildred Nix at 334-8875; Jennings Brewer at 332-3383; or, William “Butch” Simmons at 332-0051. TEAM FUN....Golf is generally thought of as a sport for individuals. Unlike football, basketball and baseball where it takes a team effort to experience the desired amount of success. In golf, success depends on the effort of the person. Nonetheless there are times when it takes both the solo and team effort to reach a desired goal. Last Sunday, 16 area golfers gathered at the 9-hole lay out at Revolution Park to play. Instead of just playing in familiar groups, it was decided that everyone would put up a certain amount of money in a pot. Then divide the players into 4 teams, equally, according to ability. Team one consisted of Howard Glover, Melvin Griffin, John “Snag” Harris, and Tesfa Mesfun. Lee Hood led team two who were Bill Johnson, Tim Harris and Charles Camp. Team three’s members were Carl Love, Jennings Brewer, Leroy Roseboro and Lewis Rorie. Team four consisted of Raymond Mitchell, Pete Key, Abe Jenkins and Wayne Carr. When the dust cleared and tne last man had putted hole 9, three teams had scored 2 under par 34. Which meant that the money won wasn’t enough to write home about, but you couldn’t beat the fun with a stick. Don’t worry, Billy, when the cast is removed from your arm and my retarded game comes around we’ll show them something. NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS —of NCCU s Charlotte alumni chapter North Carolina Central Alumni Holds First Meeting By Loretta Manago Post Staff Writer It began with good peo ple, good conversation and one common goal. They had all gathered for a purpose of expressing sin cere concern for one thing, their alma mater, N.C. Central University. Thus commenced the first meeting of N.C. Cen tral’s Charlotte Alumni Chapter which was held Wednesday, September 10 at the Executive Inn, 631 N. Tryon St. Mixing business with pleasure the crowd min gled with both familiar and unfamiliar faces. And after a brief socializing period the meeting was underway as Cynthia Woods, alumni president, called the meet ing to order. ricLxucm ttiuung ail other things was the in stallation of the alumni officers for the year 1980-81 who were properly sworn in by Bill Evans, director of Alumni Affairs at N. C. Central. The officers are as follows: Cynthia Woods, president; LaVerne Eller be, vice-president; Larry Holman, treasurer; Ste phanie Cook, recording se cretary; Joyce Phifer, corresponding secretary ; and Doris Asbury, parlia mentarian. With this accomplished, the meeting shifted to fu ture plans and endeavors. Among some of the ideas were fund raising projects for the Bertha Maxwell campaign, and the “Mr. Alumni” contest and a so cial function that will occur in the Atlanta Falcon’s football stadium. These projects having been discussed, the spot light then centered on Bill Evans. In a cursory but extremely enlightening speech, Bill pinpointed some of the most poignant goals that the national alumni office has set for this year. Briefly, these issues centered around stu dent recruitment, im proved communications between local alumni chap ters and the national alum ni office, increased alumni membership and fund raising activities. Bill Evans lett the au dience so stimulated and charged that they swamped him with ques tions concerning N.C. Cen tral University. And somehow once it was all over it just left one with the feeling that “the eagle ain’t no ordinary, common barnyard bird.” Livingstone To Assist “Exceptional Children” Special To The Post SALISBURY - Living stone College has added a new program to its curri culum in the area of Education and Human Services.
