REGISTRATION DAY Boom! Boom! Blast! That’s very descriptive of registration and orientation of freshman beginning fall quarter this year. The instruction of Freshman Registration procedures and school rules were, at first, quite confusing for entering Freshmen. This year C. V. T.l. has a total of 1078 students enrolled in fall quarter. This has been one of the highest enrollments. After filling out schedules, waiting in line for books, and being lost for the first two days, Freshmen were off to a very exciting year. 20 FEATURES

FALL CONVOCATION AND COOKOUT The fall quarter got off to a swinging start this year for the students of CVTI. On September 10, 1971, fall convocation was held on the newly constructed patio. The students had the pleasure of feasting upon the music of Harry Deal and the Galaxies and later on a hamburger cookout. The music was performed as the first formal use of the patio and the cookout was held at the pavilion in the woods. The Convocation Day activities were sponsored by the supreme efforts of the Student Activity Committee along with the Student Government and faculty members. FEATURES 19

Registration is to some students searching a week for a 9:00 — 10:30 class on Tuesday and Thursday to complete their schedule when one wasn't offered to begin with, writing out all information on regis- tration cards with instructions Please Print, and to complete the student's exciting day, he finds he has misplaced his trial schedule and is completely lost. Students are required to visit their assigned ad- visors to complete a trial schedule before registration. On registration day, the student completes the sched- ule and other forms. He is ready to be sent to check- ing stations, making sure the proper information is filled out correctly and completely. Next, he goes to designated stations to pay tuition and buys necessary materials for each class. FEATURES 21
