SQUARE DANCE HUGE SUCCESS
Christmas Dance
Charlotte College will hold its
annual Christmas Dance on Fri
day, December 16th from nine
until one in the Central High
Gymnasium. Music will be furn
ished by Carroll Dellinger and
his Orchestra.
The announcement made today
by Glenn Baughman and Earl
Yandle, co-chairmen of the Dance
Committee, states that the dance
will be semi-formal.
A few bids will be available to
those who wish to bring outside
guests. Anyone desiring bids
should get in contact with Earl
Yandle, Glenn Baughman, Ralph
Turner, Crayton Rowe, David
Cash, or John Jamison, members
of the Dance Committee.
Special invitations will be ex
tended within the next few days
to all our Alumni.
Plans for the Christmas Dance,
which will be the first big dance
of the year, have been moving
forward rapidly. The Dance Com
mittee would like to stress the
fact that the success of this dance
will greatly influence the future
dances of the Charlotte College.
f
Choral Group
Being Formed
The Central music building last
Wednesday night was for the first
time the scene of Charlotte Col
lege musical activity. There was
a fine premiere turnout of stu
dents musically inclined and in
terested in becoming members of
Charlotte College’s first choral
group. Sixteen souls appeared on
the first night. Miss Rosemary
Shingleton registered all interest
ed and classified their voices ac
cording to range. According to
the indications observed by this
reporter, things should begin to
hum smoothly in the not too dis
tant future meetings of the group.
Miss Bonnie Cone visited the
proceedings and wore a beaming
smile of approval as she looked
on with apparent delight that at
least one of her endeavors was
being supported by the student
body. The sixteen who showed
up last Wednesday are but a frac
tion of those whose names ap
peared on the bulletin board in
dicating that they would be in
terested in such a group; so we
want to see all of you stragglers
and any more who didn’t sign the
bulletin and are interested, down
at the music building this week.

The Alumnus Of The Month Student Activities
“Well, the bug bit me, and I '
stayed.” So said George Stock-
bridge, when he was asked how
he came to choose Hospital Ad
ministration as a career. The story
goes back a bit, to August, 1948,
when George was casting a keen
glance around for a likely job
which would afford him the price
of food for his family, yet leave
his afternoons and evenings free
to continue his work at Charlotte
College Center, UNC. As George
looked for that job, Presbyterian
Hospital looked for George, At
least, the Hospital authorities had
hopes of finding a brilliant young
man with bright prospects for the
future. The Hospital authorities
called Miss Cone, Director of
CCUNC, and stated their need.
They were lucky, too, these au
thorities. They got George Stock-
bridge. He went to work in the
Admissions Office at Presbyter
ian on a part-time basis, last year.
Even Stockbridge is somewhat
surprised to find himself well on
the way to becoming one of those
new-fangled trouble shooters call
ed Hospital Administrators. His
objective in enrolling at CCUNC
in 1947 was an eventual LLB de
gree, a dream that had been in the
backroom of his mind during the
long War years in the Pacific—
maybe for a long while before
that, during those far-off days
when he trod the stage of the old
College Auditorium with the il
lustrious Walter Spearman and
his gallant Troopers. But that
was long ago. Today, George is
serving an “administrative resi
dency,” which is part of a two-
year course of hospital and field
training preparatory to entering
the growing vocational field of
Hospital Administration. So new
is the idea of training experts in
a practical, business-like man
agement method for our great
hospital plants, that the only
source of such training to date
has been the programs carried on
by the hospitals themselves.
Here in Charlotte, Presbyterian
has traired three such men, with
the aid and cooperation of Duke
Endowment Foundation. How
ever, according to Stockbridge, it
seems unlikely that such training
programs wiU be continued by
the hospitals. Answering the in
creasing demand, ten or more of
our larger colleges and univer
sities have instituted complete
training programs in the field of
Hospital Administration, and one
day soon the field will be flood
ed with young hopefuls clutching
M. A. degrees in this newest of
administrative vocations. Mean
while, the go-getters with a head
start are headed for the top of
the heap, and not the least of
these is “Our George.”
K. Bechtler
Dr. Hoke Shows
Versatility
Our well-liked psychology and
philosophy professor. Dr. Hoke,
has entered another field of en
deavor.
He is now embarked upon ?
radio career. Each Saturday
morning from 9:15 to 9:30, over
Station WBT, Dr. Hoke delights
his listeners with a discussion
concerning personal problems and
questions submitted to him for
his expert advice and sugges
tions.
One wonders at Dr. Hoke’s
enormous capacity for work, as
he writes a column on Psychol
ogy for The Charlotte Observer;
lectures around and about the
Carolinas; devotes much of the
day to his psychological prac-
I tice; and yet manages to con-
I duct classes at Charlotte College
i that are always filled to capacity,
j His teaching approach is novel,
deeply interesting, and very ed
ucational. One learns something
every day that not only stirs the
imagination, but can be applied
by the student to his own or

Highlight Of
Fall Quarter
By Carole Hinson
Highlighting the fall quarter of
Charlotte College was a square
dance held November 23 from 9
until 12 in the Central gymnas
ium. This was just about the most
successful social event held at C.
C. since the school was founded.
Mr. Frank Harwood, economics
professor, started off a wonder
ful evening by announcing that
the “extra-generous” campaign
raised more than $300 in the
week preceding the dance.
There was an attendance of
about 150 people including twenty
pretty and charming guests—stu
dent nurses at the Presbyterian
Hospital.
Music was provided by the
Square Dance Serenaders com
posed of Preston Grier, steel gui
tar; Johnny Kesiah, Spanish gui
tar; Luther Gibbs, mandolin; and
Rurel Chapman, caller.
An informal air was establish
ed when the caller realized that
everyone was willing to dance
but that few were sure just how
it was done; so with the aid of
two couples he demonstrated the
basic steps of square dancing.
There were many participants
who proved themselves worthy of
recognition. At least they seem
ed to be having a good time.
Some of the notables were Mrs.
Edyth Winningham and Grady
Milller, Deane Richardson and
Lewis Camp, and Betty Stimpson
and Howard Huntley.
Faculty members present were
Miss Bonnie Cone, Mrs. Edyth
Winningham, Miss Mary Denny,
Miss Lucille Puett, Miss Frances
Hoyle, Miss Marian Fraser, and
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harwood.
