THE ANNUAL STAFF
We have held off on this article
for quite some time so that we could
run it at the most appropriate
time. We feel that this has been a
fine school year down here at Char
lotte Cclleg:e. I am certain that
these memories will be re-lived
many times in the future, thanks
to the very best annual we have
ever had down here at Charlotte
College.
This is a wonderful annual this
year; but it is the result of some
mighty hard work on the part of
Jim Fitzgerald and his capable
staff. Jim was a tireless worker
all year, and we can’t praise him
enough for a job well done. Every
night in the halls down here at
C. C. you could see Jim moving
from student to student trying to
get interesting material for the
“Si-Si.” Yes, Jim worked very hard
and his hard work has paid off in
dividends.
Let’s not overlook Jim’s staff in
placing credit where it is most
certainly due. Ronnie Austin was
the annual’s photographer-in-chief,
and a good one he was. Ronnie is
magic w’ith his photo work, and
the Collegian would like to thank
him for the pictures he has snapped
for us this year.
June Sherrill was associate edi
tor of this year’s annual, and Jim
couldn’t have had a better assist
ant. June also worked hard and
long in doing all that she could to
give the students this beautiful
yearbook. The Collegian says hats
off to June Sherrill for a job well
done.
Last, hut certainly most im
portant to the money department of
the annual, is Margie Clark. Mar-
gia helped to get ads and then
to collect for them. Margie had a
h ;rd job collecting for all the ads.
As business manager Margie did a
rplendid job.
Mrs. Hoyle was the annual’s
faculty adviser. It is a cinch that
this position was filled very cap
ably by our wonderful Spanish
maestro. The “Collegian” salutes
the annual staff for a job magnifi
cently done.

CHARLOTTE COLLEGE
FACULTY MEMBERS ATTEND
MEETING AT STATE
On Saturday, April 23, a number
of faculty members from Charlotte
College attended a pre-engineering

the meeting was to develop a co

gram to function between State
College and other colleges and

ten o’clock, was devoted to having
visiting instructors meet with the
