While not everyone assumes lead ership roles and responsibilities, every individual is a potential lead er and may someday find him- or herself hi circumstances that call for leadership skills. Since today’s young people will be the leaders of tomorrow’s world, we asked students at West Charlotte High School, “What makes a good . leader?” Their answers, while varied, had some common core cha racteristics like honesty, responsi bility, and assertiveness. MONIQUE PATTERSON, a so phomore from Wynbrook Way, de scribed a good leader this way: “They should be able to get along with other people, like to do things for others, and be attentive to things. They show they can do anything they put their minds to. They’re de pendable.” ANTONIO NEELY, a Columbus Circle resident and a senior, sug gested that a leader is “a person who is willing to take responsibility.” A leader, according to Neely, is neu tral, “can speak their piece, talk in front of people, and not be afraid to be forward with their feelings.” R08ALIND HENDERSON, a Vickery Drive senior, called a lead er "a person who can express him or herself and stick to what he says, does not take sides, strives for balance, pits out alternatives, and lets you decide. A leader is friend ly, but not so friendly that others run over him. Leaders aren’t bossy. They have the responsibility to make sure everything goes right” ..PATRICIA SOULE, a twelfth grader from Castleton Road, de scribed a leader as “someone who’s honest, who stands up for their rights and other people’s, too.

A leader helps others learn. Leaders are dependable and are there to help. They’re friendly but they also are managers. A leader is able to get along with others and understand others’ needs and feelings.” CATHE DUNKERTON lives on Marlbrook Drive and is in the twelfth grade. According to her, a leader is “dependable and respon sible. Leaders show a liking for others no matter where they are; they are caring toward others no matter what their appearance may be.” She concluded with, “Leaders are honest, trustworthy, not afraid to express their opinions, very open, and present a good aura about them selves.” Patricia Soule .Honest Community QuB To Sponsor Disco The Bridlewood Community Club will sponsor a disco to raise money for scholarships March 30 at the Raineses Temple l4o. 51, 119 8th St. Admission is $3 and the fundraiser will be held from 9 until.
