  • OCTOBER 25, 1947 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN PAGE THREE Alumni Paper Edited By Taff L. R. Taff of the English staff edited the Homecoming paper which was sent to alumni. The WCTC Alumni News came off the press October 10, 1947. The News included all current campus news and several features. A picture of the late President H. T. Hunter and an originally planned message claimed the most prominent place. Professors R. L. Madison and A. C. Reynolds were also feltured as the other presidents of WCTC. College enrollment, the new band, the stadium, and the expansion program will be recognized by the former students. The football squad, coaches, and games claimed their space. Almost half the paper is devoted to a roster of students, giving their names, locations, and occupations. New faculty members and the mascot fill up the remaining space. Intramurals Eight Cubans Registered Here Eight students from Cuba are registered at Western Carolina this year. They are Rosita Fernandez, Margarita Alfonsa, Guido Brito, Raul Marco, from Havana, and Margarita Garcia, Carlos Gome Enrique V i c e d o, all of Camaguey. Raul Gomez attended school here last year and returned with his brother Carlos Gomez and two friends Enrique and Margarita this summer. Raul, better known as "Tony," was accompanied last year from Cuba by Alicia Garcia, who is attending the University of Havana this year. Fall quarter Guido Brito and Raul Marco came. They were accompanied by Guido's parents and his smaller brother. His parents remained a few days before returning home. Rosita Fernandez and Margarita Alfonsa came here a few weeks ago. With them came Margarita's mother who remained on the campus until October 24th. The Gomez brothers came here through their acquaintance with the father of Luis Larranaga, who was a student here in 1944. Others in the group came through the influence of friends and Mr. Clar- e n c e Chrisman, professor of modern language. The main purpose of the group is to gain knowledge of the English language. Some plan to go on to the University of Havana after studying here. According to Mr. Chrisman there were other Cuban students desiring entrance but because of crowded conditions only eight could be admitted. By H. G.

Boodlevivlle had every one passing and every body catching . . . Ellis to Barnhorst for 20 . . . .Brown to Gibson for 20 yards .... Barnhorst to Brown for a short 10 .... all were worth T.D.'s . . .
