Make the Annual a Success—Be a real CATAMOUNT! Faculty and St udent Body —Help make the Annual a Great Success! WHO'S WHO AND WH\T AT W.C.T.C. BY PAUL LYDAY INTRODUCTION Beginning with this and continuing in following issues of The Western Carolinian, there will be a Who's Who section, giving some interesting and worthwhile facts of the new members of our faculty. Along with this will be a write-up of the most outstanding of our students. I hope these brief write-ups will be of interest to faculty and students as a whole. Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Paul Lyday. Miss Patricia Edgeworth Miss Patricia Edgeworth of Asheville, who came to us this year for the first time as Dean of Women at W.C.T.C, comes with the highest of recommendations. She is a graduate of Asheville High School, and attended St. Genevieve of The Pines, in Asheville. Miss Edgeworth has a bachelor's degree in Education, a bachelor's and master's degree from the College of Liberal Arts in Boston University. She also is a graduate of the Curry School of Expression, Boston. She was instructor in speech .and dramatics at Milwaukee-Downer Seminary for two years; she then did graduate work, returning again to Boston University. Her special work was in European History in which she has her master's degree. She also attended the Southern Workshop and School of Expression during the summer session in Asheville. Miss Edgeworth's position on the campus is that of Dean of Women and instructor in History. Miss Edgeworth states that the position of Dean of Women is the connecting link between the students and faculty. Western Carolina is very fortunate in having the privilege ot direct contact and association with such a personage. Miss Edge- worth's versatility and culture insure us that she possesses the highest of ideals and motives. She is very broad- minded in her views of campus problems and is ever ready to help any desiring her assistance. Under her able direction and assistance we are looking for a very successful year. Miss Edgeworth, here's to you and we are hoping your stay will be long and fruitful, both to yourself and to our college. Mr. James Crawford Mr. Crawford was born on Crawford's Creek at Cruso, N. C„ in Haywood County. When but a small boy his father moved to Candler, N. C, in Buncombe County. Most of Mr. Crawford's life has been spent in school. He was a student at Candler High School and graduated in 1921. He then taught school for two years. He later entered Biltmore Junior College at Asheville. He y graduatd from this institution 1932.. Mr. Crawford is very active student participation on the campus, being president of the student body and also having the distinction of being president of the first student senate organized on the campus this year. Since his enrollment in college, "Jim- mie" as he is known to the students, has made a host of friends. Jin says his greatest ambition is to get his degree from W. C. T. C. and to teach History and English in high school. Jimmie's idea of Western Carolina is stated by him as "I think Western Carolina the most beautiful place I have ever seen; I like school here and wish I could stay two more years." Despite the thinness of Jimmie's hair he still likes baseball and "camping out." Mr. Crawford graduates from this school in June. I am sure the students will miss him next year since he has gained the friendship and s cere confidence of every member of the student body of Western Caro- na Teachers College.

All-Cam WESTERN CAROLINA'S GRANDCHILDREN We should have college spirit at Western Carolina judging from the great number of grandchildren that our Alma Mater has on the campus.

By Lena Allison. 'Mule" first saw the light of day Hendersonville. He weighs 185 pounds and is 5 feet 11 inches tall, started his school career in the Hendersonville graded school. He rred in the football and baseball teams. He played on the high school football team while in the seventh grade. Hubert graduated from Hendersonville High School in 1930, after making a brilliant record in football, basketball and baseball. He captained the football and baseball teams during his senior year. He was the recipient of many other honors while in high school, among which were president of the junior class and president of the Monogram Club. His first two years in college were spent at Weaver. Here be continued his fine sports record by oustanding play on the football, basketball, and baseball teams. He was captain of baseball during his senior year. Among the other honors that he received at Weaver were: president of student government, secretary-treasurer of Delphian Literary Society, commencement marshall, and most popular boy in the class of 1932. During his two years at Western Carolina "Mule" has shown that same consistent success in sports and other activities. He has been one of the mainstays in the Catamount line for the past two years. He plays guard and can always be counted on to do his part to "hold that li The esteem held for him by his te mates is shown by the fact that they elected him honorary captain of the !933 football team. He was regular catcher on the 1932 baseball team Pn<5 and kept up his basketball reputation by playing on one of the campus league teams. Coach Poindexter and the student body will regret to see "Mule" go out with the class of '34. If he keeps up the fight he has shown in school, he should have little difficulty in "bucking" the bread line in the great game of life. Miss Maye Burr Morrow ('33) teaching in the Waynesville Elementary School and from various reports she is doing splendid work. Mr. Jeffrie David Freeman ('33) one of our honor graduates, is teaching in the Clyde High School. Mr. Freeman is also chairman of the Haywood County Chapter of the Alumni Association. Miss June Etta Kinsland ('33) received an appointment this fall to teach in Alaska. We have not as yet heard from Miss Kinsland concerning her new surroundings. Mr. John Searcy ('33) is continuing his studies at Berea College in Kentucky this year. We understand that he is a ministerial student. Mr. Searcy is remembered as one of the most active workers of the B. S. U. while here. Miss Frances Pearle Justice ('32) is teaching English and History in the Bethel High School near Waynesville, N. C. Mr. J. Walter Moore ('32) is principal of the Elf High School in Clay County. Mr. Moore seems to be making good in his work since this is his second year at Elf. Mr. Minor P. Wilson ('32) is located again in the Hildebran School of Burke County. Mr. Wilson is also Scout Master for the Boy Scout Troop at Hildebran. Mr. and Mrs. Rowe Henry ('31) are back again at Fairfield, N. C. They evidently like the Eastern Carolina Coast, since this is their third year there. Mr. Ralph Smith ('30) is teaching and coaching athletics in the Hayesville School. Mr. Smith rely ■iderwent an operation for appendicitis, "iiui' Kis recovered suffi- ientl.v to resume hi.-, Acdfc. Miss Annie Lee Mundy ('30) is teaching in the Bostic Elementary School. Miss Mr.ndy is making a splendid record in her work and this is her fourth year at Bostic. SENATE NEWS The presidents of the dent organizations met with the Senate at its regular meeting on Thursday night to discuss the recently adopted point and charter systems. Miss Dorothy Neal, chairman of the committee working on the Point System, explained that its purpose is to more evenly distribute student authority and prestige by limiting the number of offices that a student can hold. The Senate requests that students holding offices carrying more than twenty-five points credit resign at the end of this quarter in order to comply with the point system. A list of all officers of every organization must be filed with Lena Caldwell, Secretary of the Senate. Tilson Fleetwood, chairman of the committee working on charters, explained the procedure that an organization must take in order to be recognized and chartered. The constitution of the organization must be submitted to the Senate. If the Senate and the Student Activities Committee approve this constitution, a charter authorizing the organization to function will be issued. There were quite a number of organizations not represented at the Thursday night meeting. Surely an organization deserving existence could have sent a representative.
