Sophomores
Have Busy
First Semester
By Cheri Cannon
The Sophomore Class started
this school year with the ex
citing, entertaining Mr.
Sophomore Pageant. While In
spectors Courtney Townsend
and Ezetta Washington briefed
the audience about the case, In
Search Of, the ladies of
Spelman were dazzled by five
talented men: Sean Barnave,
Charles McKinney, Kirkwood
Taylor, Paul Taylor, and Kevin
Whalum. The pageant was a
success, according to many
sophomores, because the Mr.
Sophomore contestants under
stand competition was not as
important as comradeship as
seen in The Jam Session, a non
competitive musical perfor
mance ivolving all contestants.
The culmination of the evening
was Kevin Whalum crowned as
Mr. Sophomore, Charles
McKinney - 1st Runner Up, and
Paul Taylor - 2nd Runner Up.
Many sophomores were involv
ed in the planning of and
preparation for this pageant,
and because of them, the year
started off with a big bang.
The Sophomore Class also
sponsored a Can Food Drive
and collected dues. For those
who did not get a chance to pay
your class dues, do not worry.
You will get another opportuni
ty this semester. The
Sophomores have not forgotten
about the anxieties experienced
during finals. So the
Sophomore Class Final Survival
Kits — guaranteed to sweeten
the reality of enduring the Final
Exam period.
For the Christmas season, the
Sophomore Class embarked on
three Special Projects. First,
there was a Christmas Social for
Spelman sophomores. Second,
we visited the children in Grady
Hospital. Third, we have
adopted a grandmother, Ms.
Lillian Grimes. The Sophomore
Class will be sharing themselves,
their time, and the spirit of
Spelman with Ms. Grimes dur
ing their Sophomore year, and
especially during the Thanksgiv
ing and Christmas Seasons.
We have many activities
planned for this semester. The
semester will begin with a
Spelman College Sisterhod Ral
ly. See ya at the Rally.
Changes in
Student
Government
Due to the absence of
Subriana McFadden, because of
her commitment to her ex
change program this semester,
Adrienne Lance and Teresa
Leary have been appointed to
the positions of Student
Government Association Assis
tant Publicity Chairpersons. In
this capacity Miss Lance and
Miss Leary will assist Kirsten Ray
with all Publicity duties and
assume general duties as
members of the Spelman Stu
dent Government Association.
Class of 1990
Having Great Year
That whirlwind of a class has
done it again . . . The class of
1990 thus far is having a
dynamic year. With the help of
many avid class members, the
class has managed to have a
successful pageant and many
prospering fundraisers. The
Freshman Council has prepared
activities for the ensuing year
which includes more fundraisers
and socials.

pageant a success. Thanks to
our cool and confident mistress
of ceremonies, Kelly Wilson, the
class 1990 can once again be
proud. Thanks Kelly - we didn’t

Library . . .
Continued from Page 10
ing Ties with China, The
Hostage Crisis in Iran, and New
Relations with Panama. The two
that were most important of
these were confronting the
Nuclear Threat, which featured
a map that showed where every
nuclear weapon is based in the
world, and Peace in The Middle
East. This section featured an in
terview with the Prime Minister
of Egypt, Sadat, and the Prime
Minister of Israel Begin.
To end up the tour there was
a section of former president
Carter’s life leading up until he
became president, and there
was also a section which had all
of the paraphernalia from his
1976 campaign. There was also
a special section for Rosalynn
Carter, the former President’s
wife. This section was entitled
Partner of the President.
From the library I received a
good understanding of what
President Carter stood for, but
furthermore I received an
understanding of the issues that
were prevalent from 1976 to
1980, the time when Carter was
President of the United States.
