C. C. is Mr. Mark Tinkhani! Mr.
Tinkham is not entirely new to us,
as he has been with us in the past
on part time basis; however, it is
with great pleasure that we wel
come him this fall to our full time
faculty. Born in the eastern part of
the state, he has resided in Char
lotte for the past twenty years. His
life is enlightened by a wife, a teen
age daughter and two younger
sons. A tall brunette (who believes
in lovely red neckties), Mr. Tink
ham has made himself known to
students and faculty alike by his
warm smile and by his willingness
to be of help and guidance.
at Peace Junior College for one
year, also. When asked about hob
bies, she admitted none, but it is
not hard to see that she is a fun
loving person with the interests of
each of her students at heart. Wel
come to you, Miss Markham!
Brunette, Miss Eleanor Markham
is another of our new faculty mem
bers. To talk to her, for many of
us, is an exciting experience as she
has taught at Central High and at
Myers Park High. A native of
Durham, Miss Markham is a Duke

She loves nonsense verse, books,
children, and being of help. How
can we tell? By examining the rec
ord! Radio programs (children’s
series); bookmobile driver, serving
penal institutions and orphanages;
librarian for the Air Force (where
she met Mr. McIntyre); Mrs. Kath
erine McIntyre is the name of our
charming librarian. A native of
Camden, S. C. and a graduate of
Converse College, Mrs. McIntyre
joined us at C. C. this fall. She is
the mother of a nine-year-old young
lady and an active three and one-
half-year-old son. That she loves
young people is evidenced by her
avid interest in each and every Col
legian in Owl Land. She spends her
college hours helping Freshmen
grope for History parallel and
Sophomores to find a quiet place to
cram for quizzes. Let’s extend a
hearty greeting to this capable new
faculty member.

A Club For You
ELECTRONICS CLUB?
Charlotte College is proud to
have its first class in electronics
this year. We feel that this is a
great step forward in fulfilling the
need for skilled technicians in this
field.
Many of those who plan to major
in electronics have expressed an
interest in forming such a club
which would offer an opportunity
for its members to meet and dis
cuss problems as well as gain prac
tical experience.
WILL THERE BE AN ELEC
TRONICS CLUB? This depends on
YOU! Make plans now to meet in
the lounge at eight o’clock on Fri
day, Nov. 2. The meeting will be a
short one,; so please be on time.

library annex at eight o’clock Mon
day, Oct. 29. The meeting will be
very short.

Records Smashed Bv
y
Fall Enrollnient
Figui'es do not lie. The enroll
ment for the fall quarter of C'har-
lotte (’ollege has reached a new
high. Three hundred and sixty-one
students are enrolled in Chai’lotte
C'ollege this fall. Long lines and
much waiting were the first signs
of a growing enrollment, ('old Cokes
from the Student Government
helped to ease a long morning and
a longer afternoon as the students
planned their schedules for the fall
(]uarter. Friendly and helpful ad
vice from the faculty and the stu
dent advisors helped to create a
pleasant atmosphere.
There are three hundred and
thirty-six regular students and
tw'enty-five nurses enrolled this
fall. More noise in the halls and
more smiling faces are second
signs of the record enrollment.
The twenty-five nurses who are
with us this fall raises the wornen’s
enrollment to fifty-three. In addi
tion to the twenty-five nurses,
there are seven sophomore and
twenty-one freshman women stu
dents.
The total men’s force of three
hundred and thirty-three is com
posed of eighty-nine sophomores
and two hundred and forty-four
freshmen. One hundred and seven
teen veterans are enrolled this fall.
Forty-four are sophomores and
seventy-three are freshmen.
Records are made to be broken.
Charlotte College began her tenth
anniversary year with a bang.
Committee Members For ’56—’57
Have Been Selected
The Freshnian’s
Opinion
So ^'ou Want The
Freshman’s Opinion?
Well, to sum it up in a few words,
we think it’s splendid and we thank
you for this opportunity to explain
why we enjoy every minute spent
inside C. C. doors. On opening night
we attended assembly and one of
the opening speeches made by Bill
Henson stated that each one of us
now belonged to a big happy fam
ily, and we are happy to say that
we have found those words to be
very true. No one is friendless. All
you have to do is walk out of a
room into the hall and before you
get to your next class or to your
destination you will have made at
least three more new friends. It
gives you that certain unmistak
able feeling of belonging.
We will have to admit that on
registration night there were a few
freshmen who were just a little
doubtful about the whole situation.
Many of us stood in line from 5:45
until 9:00 and 10:00 that night
without a bite of dinner. Our poor
feet were aching, but now we have
to admit it was really worth the
effort.

For some of us C. C. is the l)est
thing that ever happened, because
if it were not for C. C., there would
be a lot of people going through
life with only a high school educa
tion. Here we have the opportunity
to work and go to school at the
same time. For one freshman it
is a means of furthering her mu
sical career through the C. C. Choir.
For another it’s the way to a profit
able career in engineering.
For all of us it has some definite
meaning and for all there is a pur
pose. Charlotte College is helping
in its way to accomplish these goals.
