There are so many goals, pressures, deadlines, and decisions, so many directions. Sometimes getting that grade or waiting for that last bell can be the most important thing of all. But somehow the things that are important change as the year goes by. Things that meant everything then, mean nothing now. Change is really the only thing that remains constant, and for that reason we expect it, and look forward to it. But change comes so fast that sometimes we leave things that we meant to complete, unfinished. What we're beginning to realize and face is that because we are in high school we are inside looking out. Soon it will be the other way around and on the outside, change is no excuse for leaving things unfinished. Once we are outside we will find out just how much it's all worth. Was it worth it to have stayed home the day of the math test when you weren't really sick? Was it worth all those hours of studying iust for a C? Was it worth the money? Was it worth the time? .mm . ann, It helps to have friends that understand the subiects you don't. The unconventional trash can in the print shop. P . V Hd , f t X i .

On December 10 and 11, the National Association of College Admissions Counselors lNACAl sponsored the National College Fair, a service free to the public, at the Sheraton Park Hotel on 2660 Woodley Road in Washington, D. C. Held in what seemed to be the basement of a hotel, were booths holding information from 350 schools. Information concerning tuition, size, principle majors, student population, and financial aid were included in the program. Because it is a national college fair, schools like Kalamazoo College, Oglethorpe University, University of Maryland and Cornell College had representatives to answer questions or. the importance of the SAT and ACT test scores. The fair was quite crowded when 4 busloads of Friendly students arrived. After filling in the registration cards, most of the kids went on to fight their way downstairs, to the exhibition hall. Once in the hall, people then proceeded to the booth of the college of their choice, asking questions about courses, location, over-all-costs, lthe usual stuffl. Then they wander about with friends or alone, stopping to check out various schools that had interesting or unusual names like the Transylvania University. Most of the representatives were directors of admissions and they could tell you more about the requirements better than anyone else. The others were either present students or graduates. The excursion wore out a lot of students, several of which slept on the buses on the way home. Deciding on where you're going to isn't all that easy. You have to choose between colleges, universities, junior colleges, vocational, technical, private, public, urban, or rural school. There is talk of another college fair in the planning for next April, if so, sign up for it. When it's done you'Il be tired, but you will have put yourself one step closer to the big college decision. Transylvania University has a great program if you plan to major in Art, Biology and Business Administration. Who knows what goes on Behind Cloaedboors 29
