The Cariota P. Holley/Spanish Club Endowment was founded by
students in honor of the former instructor.
The spirit of Señora Carlota
Holley, who recently retired as
Spanish instructor and foreign
language department advisor,
remains alive and well at CCC.
In fact, it will continue to be
remembered and honored as
the “Carlota P. Holley/Spanish
Club Endowment,” founded by
the Spanish club students,
and presented to Holley at the
staff retirees’ party December
8.
According to John Keyser,
college president, the occasion
marked two firsts for the
school. The new endowment is
the first ever directed to the
emergency grant program, and
the presentation of the honor
to Holley was the first time stu
dents have spoken at the retir
ees’ reception.
Spanish club officers Kirsten
Blair, president, and Becky
Russell, co-vice-president,
made the presentation to
Holley. Russell spoke to the
Print about the Spanish club’s
choice to honor their former
teacher:
“Anyone who has had any
sort of contact with Sra. Holley at home, where she is busy with

“I haven’t heard of anyone
having any Y2K related software
problems,” said Rothi.
No problems are foreseen for
the actual Millennium, which is
2001.
“The issue as far as computers
was concerned was how it
handled the 99 versus the double
zero and that issue is a this year
issue. After we crossed that, next
year is just another year,” said
Rothi.
ITS, the library staff, the book
store staff, and media services
were all key players in helping to
make Y2K a success.
“Y2K was just another fun
event,” added Rothi.
