as . fs-'P93'i!9i 45' 7- ' . ,, college bound For the weekend Parties . . . so many parties! When Kelli Hammond and Chris- tine Smith went to visit Christine's sister, Charise Yankie, at college, they Walked from fraternity house to fraternity house, from party to party after the football game. They had never seen so many people and par- ties before in their lives. When students wanted to see what college life was like, they visit- ed an older brother or sister or a friend who attended college. This way one was a college student for the Weekend and acted that Way Without any questions being asked. Usually the older sibling invited the younger brother or sister when there was some big activity on cam- pus like a football game, Homecom- ing, or sorority or fraternity func- tions. After each of these, there were parties everyone went to. During the weekend, it was not uncommon to stay out until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. Since there were no curfews or parents to an- swer to, students were on their own. Visiting brothers or sisters also provided students with ideas of the serious aspects of college. Students learned quickly that college life is not all fun and games. Hours of studying were essential to obtain de- cent grades, and it was not uncom- mon to spend a Weekend cramming for a major test. With all this to consider, stu- dents found the decision of attend- ing college after high school some- what difficult. I want to make sure I consider all aspects before I decide if and where I attend college, said Kelli Hammond. The chances students were giv- en to visit older siblings at college aided in their final decision concern- ing the plans for the future. People xx sf l sl, Pausing before a sorority house on the campus of Ole Miss University, Kelli Hammond, Christine Smith, and Charise Yankie discuss the advantages and disadvantages of belonging to a college social organization.

The range of these treasures dif- fered tremendously throughout the class. I consider my family to be my most prized possession because they are always there for me, said Jenni- fer Donham. Other than families, sophomores found that friends, The discovery that prized possessions sometimes require hard work is made by Doug Freeman and Sean Soulsby as they spend countless hours main- taining Doug's car. cars, T-shirts, musical instruments, stuffed animals, and a wide variety of knick-knacks seemed to be the most highly valued. Some possessions required time and effort to keep them in good con- dition in order to maintain the prized effects. My '65 Mustang is not only for transportation, but it's also a sort of pastime. I work endlessly on it trying to keep it looking nice and running smoothly, said Doug Free- man. There were numerous reasons to hold a particular object in such high regard. It may have been wanted for quite sometime, it may have been given by someone special, or perhaps it Was just the thought be- hind the gift that gave it sentimen- tal value. It may sound unusual, but my prized possession is my piano. Whenever I'm worried or up- set I only need to play for a While to get my mind off my problems, said Cynthia Kelley.
