c L L E G E O Htm 9, 1986 RjutEi t a, On October 9, 1986 Buchtel High School hosted its first college fair in the Appleby Qymnasiurn. The College Fair included 26 universities and colleges across the state who sent their repre- sentatives to talk not only to Buchtel students but to students from other schools throughout the county. Overall, 25 seniors and juniors were selected as representatives from each individ- ual high school in the city and the surrounding area. From all indications, the fair was a complete success. More than 500 students participated. Ma Shriver and Jerry Ryan, as well as the pre-professional business and law classes, were instrumental in the setting up of the College Fair. Ms. Shriver said of this event. Although I was a little unsure whether or not we would get set up in time, it turned out to be even more successful than Id hoped. ' The representatives were treated to a reception in the Griff Inn before the beginning of the fair. A spaghetti dinner was provid- ed by Mrs. Eggleston s class. The college representatives provided such worthwhile informa- tion as campus life and financial aid. Senior John Tillman said, I thought it was a very good idea and it helped me a lot. I hope they have it every year. From the favorable responses by the representatives and those who came for information, it will definitely be an annual event.

IfeMtotiei Om Of 1987 O Com Amud n Tk Oau Of 1987 Three years ago the senior class of 1987 became the first freshman class to enter Buchtel High School in more than three decades. This class represents a student body with much leader- ship and enthusiasm. We hope to venture into the world with the same leadership and enthusiasm so that the world will surely be enhanced by our class, the class of 1987. I E N R C L A S S 1 9 8 7
