On the Social Side Miss Cone, our popular and highly esteemed Director, gives us this thought: "A ver;’ iriportant phase of college life is the social side. The social life of the college student should not be over- looksd in his or her search for acader'iic knowledge. "The benefits to be gained fron entering into the social functions of Charlotte College ar-.: of enomous value to the student, now and in later life. Nov; is the time to develop the poise, manners, and social ease which ar-.^ so necessary in nresent day life. "To help yourselves achieve the social graces which always mark the successful nerson, no natter what his or her work raay be, olease enter into the socLal life which Charlotte College presents. Let's all keep the; booster spirit uppermost. Snter into all our activities; you will help yourself and you will help your school." ' pauTTpatter~~ The -ther day, I was sitting in a oar in front of Charlotte College with tv;o rer.jrters and a photographer from the >',-w'lotte rjovjs. ''le were vjaiting to take a T^c.ure of our new fraternity. Just then \ bavy :if our college beauties happened to vrdk by. The rale reporter said: "3ay, why don't you hold a beauty contest at C. C.? There walk four of the prettiest girls I've seen lately! If I ladn't ali-eady put in ny time in college, jam if I vjouldn't enroll toaorrovv." The photo.^rapher said, "Bo,^,' You can say that again," Folks, the stor;/ isn't ended. The )ther rt,'porter, this time of the opposite !ex, agreeing that a contcst in pursuit )f that person elected to have the greatest mount of pulchritude is fine and noto- ■jorthy, suggested to your reporter this: "I have watched almost your entire student body enter classes today. You have .lany lovely girls here, but from where I vas sitting in the car, it struck me that vou also have quite a few good-lookin' hunks of men also. V'hy don't you have a beauty contest for the prettiest girl and the handsomest boy?" Miss Cone, our Director, whole heartedly seconds the motion; so it iDpears as tho' Charlotte College will vote soon on a Miss anci Mr. C. C. Hone the razor blade, boy. You .light be it! We'll put the details v:>f the contest jn the bulletin board very soon- P.S. The reporter, malo gender, was Bob Sain. The photographer. Jeep Hunter, !: had better omit the naine of the reporter )f the fer.’inine sex as I believe she is iarrie(J, and hubby might look at h;r over 1 copy of our Collegiate Life on of these lays and growl: "So there's a lotta' ^ood-lool:ing '.unks o' .Men at Cl*arlotte C:>llege, huh?" JVavy Cxam.
