Orientation for future possibilities It was difficult to imagine the oppor- tunities that would be available at the completion of high school. There was too much happening now to become serious about the future and the possibilities it would bring. College and Career Day was provided to help clear the cobwebs so students could begin to think about the direction they wanted to go in life. It gave them facts regarding college choices and career opportunities so they could make a more informed decision about their future. Over 550 seniors from Bradley High and Charleston High were involved in this nineteenth annual event. Don Carter, the director of Guidance and Counseling at BCHS, coordinated the preparations for the program. Seniors were able to at- tend three thirty-minute sessions con- ducted by college and career representatives. Seventeen colleges and thirty careers were represented at the day-long workshop which was held at the First Baptist Church downtown. Financial aid information was distributed by the col- leges, and applications and career path information was available from businesses. Representatives of the military services also met with interested students. David Wagner described it as, “A day for projection about the future, our lives, our needs, and our wants. That is essen- tially what College and Career Day is all about.” Telling a humorous story, Jim Gibson represented the First Baptist Church by welcoming the seniors and giving a devotion. Making plans for College and Career Day. the guidance counselors, Mr. McCullough.
