Friday, October 16, 1964 The Western Carolinian Page- 10 Cullowhee Valley Retains Signs Of Indian Heritage By Marc Latour Hunter Library is haunted. Even those who are inclined to be skeptical concerning the existence of ghosts, may accept this idea when they realize that it could be used as an excuse for a drop in QP's. The fact is, that Hunter Library is situated on a "mound" — an ancient Cherokee burial ground. There might be more graves elsewhere under Madison and Moore perhaps, because this entire school was built on an old Cherokee village. It is said that If one drives from Franklin to Sylva, a figure can be very clearly discerned from the mountains a- long the route. It is the profile of a particularly interesting Cherokee mystical figure. He is said to parallel Paul Bunyan In physical proportion and achievement. Judaculla, as he was called by his followers, is said to have walked, hunted, and lived a most extraordinary existence in a once treeless valley a few miles to the east of Western Carolina College. In this same valley is a rock which has been an archeological mystery for ages. The rock measures approximately forty feet in circumference and etched in its surface are hieroglyphic markings pre-historic in nature. Most of the inscription evades the analysis of the archeologists who have studied it; however, an object having seven appendages which is thought to be a hand or bear claw, a head like figure, and a bird, have been discerned. There is also a very long line thought to be an area dividing line, perhaps the path of a river; and, in addition, there are markings which could disignate the situation of a village or encampment. The fact that many native Indian artifacts, pottery, weapons, and the like, dated approximately 300 BC, have been found in the triangular area of Franklin, Cullowhee, and Bryson City. A hunter's path (perhaps this was used by the great Judaculla himself!) and a war path transverse the ridge of the mountain chain behind the Cullowhee High School. At the present time, the rock is owned by Jackson County Because of the indecisiveness of the hieroglyphic experts and the scarcity of material supporting what advances they have made, the field is open for new theories concerning the exact origin of the rock, the date at which the etchings were made, and, most important, the story behind the strange markings. Carolettes Are Unique The trouble with worrying so much about your "security" in the future is that you feel so inseure in the present.—Harlan Miller ENSLEY'S SUPER MARKET Fresh Meat and Produce Fancy Foods — Frozen Foods Sporting Goods WE GIVE S&H GREEN STAMPS The Sylva and Eastgate Pharmacies Welcome All Students Headquarters For: Prescriptions - School Supplies Cosmetics - Magazines By Linda Krug The newly-formed Carolettes will do much to boost Western Carolina's prestige and spirit. The all-girls drill and dance team is the only one of its kind among North Carolina colleges. Extensive try-outs for the team were held in the third week of school. Approximately forty girls tried out. The first day, six girls were chosen and eighteen girls were asked to return the next day for further try-outs. The following day found sixteen more girls officially in the group, and they eagerly awaited their first practice. On Wednesday of the following week, the Carolettes met for the first practice for two hours. On Thursday Mrs. Benson, the group's sponsor and choreographer, had exciting news for the girls. They had been chosen to perform for President Lyndon B. Johnson and gubernatorial candidate Dan K. Moore in Raleigh on the next Tuesday. Many harried rehearsals and a frantic search for uniforms followed. The Carolettes left the Western Carolina campus on Monday, October fifth, at one in the afternoon, arriving in Raleigh at 9:30 that evening where they were greeted by Dan Moore and his sister, Mrs. Edith Hall, who is housemother of Moore dormitory Also among the greeters were members of the Kappa Alpha fraternity of N.C. State who invited the girls to the fraternity house to a party in their honor that night. The Carolettes stayed at the College Inn. Their accommodations and meals were paid for by the state Democratic Party in co-operation with the Young Democrats Club. The girls were up bright and early for practice on Tuesday morning and were given free time in the afternoon. At six o'clock, they left the motel for Memorial Coliseum. They were the first group to perform and were STOVALL'S 5-10-25* STORE Next To First Union Bank Welcome to All New And Old Student Customers followed by the Western Carolina majorettes. The Pep Band accompanied both groups. The students stayed for the entire program, leaving Raleigh at 12:30. They stopped for coffee breaks on the way and reached Cullowhee at 7:30 Wednesday morning. The Carolettes use pom-pom's in their routines now, but they hope to change over to batons in the near future. There will be try-outs again next spring for those who would like to join the Carolettes. Girls are chosen for their rhythm and marching ability. The Carolettes will march in the parade tomorrow and perform at half-time at the game. The experience of the girls is greatly varied. Starting with Carol Gorman, who has had seven years experience as a Majorette; Margaret Cranford with four years training as a Dancing Boot; Judy Byrd and Madelaine Campbell with three years experience as Marjorettes; and the following girls had no experience at all: Vickey Caskey, Pat Carroll, Trinna Lane, Rita Low- ery, Jan Marshal, Bobbi Medlin, Brenda Mock, Harriet McCamp- bell, Sandy Norris, Linda Norwood, Yolanda Pascal, Ann Ramsey, Buni Rogers, Mary Spakes, Janet Smith, and Frances Witherington. We are looking forward to seeing the girls in their first campus performance tomorrow. Nehi Bottling Company Inc.
