College of Charleston - Comet Yearbook (Charleston, SC)

Preschool children are not normally associated with college life, but the children at ECDC are extremely important to C. of C. students. Owned and operated by the school, the Early Child- hood Development Center is presently under the direction of Ms. Marge Humphries. On the average, one-third of the children in the special day- care center are the offspring of students, one-third are children of the administration or faculty, and one-third are children of the members of the surrounding community. The children study academics, exercise, and learn to cook as well as interact so- cially. Students from the college volunteer to work with the chil- dren. ECDC cooperates with psychologists and education professors in studying the devel- opment and social interaction of the children. 82 ECDC

Origin- ally, the book was called The Ma- roon and White, a named derived from the College’s school colors. However, captured by the spirit of the Twenties, the 1922 staff decid- ed that it needed a more sophisti- cated name. One staff member no- ticed that students standing in line on the cistern were shaped like the elliptical path of a comet. When he mentioned this to the ‘22 staff, they decided that the Comet was the title for which they had been looking. With Sharon Weeks as editor and Eddie Barker as copy editor, the 83 Comet has adopted a style deserving the College of Charles- ton.
