Tllg COLLEGE DAY On February 7, 1960, the second Col- lege Day was held nt Brother Rice High School. The purpose of this undertaking was to help the juniors to choose a college and to assist any senior who had not made his 'final decision. This event was an example of the many functions of our Guid- ance Department, under the direc- tion of Brother J. G. Fairleigh. Anticipating an interesting after- noon, seniors and iuniors, some accompanied by their parents, arrived and proceeded to the sched- uled tallcs. Various forms of lit- erature and information for the college-bound student were dis- seminated by representatives of fourteen Mid-western colleges and universities. After all the schools had presented their cases, the boys and their parents were invited to wander around and talk to the representatives concerning college education. The final bell concluded another College Day and all agreed that its merits were many. H V. Bt mms . i - I 1 Ol: .
