Message From The President
Welcome to Charlotte College, one and all, students and
teachers, old and new. We are ready to buckle down to
another year’s hard work and study. I can state on behalf
of the Student Council that this year promises to be one of
the best years at C.C. We are glad to have each one of you
to help make the year a success and we hope you will enjoy
it at the .same time.
The only way you can really enjoy C.C. is to be a part of
C.C. The way to be a part of C.C. is to participate in one or
more of the many activities, such as clubs, fraternities, social
groups, basketball, or student council activities.
There are a few new things at C.C. to help make it better:
S u,'ent Store, Rook Exchange, students, and faculty mem
bers.
