CHOIR The Centenary College Choir has been a part of the school for forty-one years. The choir performs several concerts during the year, including Rhapsody in View, various ensembles, and Elizabethan Dinners. This past year the Choir toured Germany, Belgium, the Nether- lands, Switzerland, France, and Great Britian. Though many of the faculty do not consider the time missed from class very beneficial, the choir performs an important recruiting function for the college at concerts in high schools around the Ark-La-Tex. m h •■ : ■ i - - m I | J ! m 1 K CLASSES Classes are those annoying time slots which interrupt your sleep in the morning and your sun time in the after- noon. At Centenary class attendance policies are set by the individual teachers; unfortunately for students, they are usually exactly that — set. As inconvenient as it may be, class attendance is usually a big factor in the grade of a course — but even the best students occasionally skip when the sun comes out after a long rain, or Friday afternoon parties are scheduled, or weekend road trips last until Tuesday, or . . . 8 • Guidebook

CONGLOMERATE The Centenary Conglomerate can be entertaining, informative and unbiased. It can also be boring, unrelia- ble, and quite opinionated. Like any other media, the newspaper is subject to harsh criticism, no matter how hard the staff works. Putting out a newspaper each week is difficult to do. It takes research, photographs, articles, editorials, advertisments, and mostly time that seems to slip away when Wednesday comes. The staff rushes over to the Bossier Tribune, lays out the copy, and prints it. Every Thursday, neat stacks of Conglomerates are delivered around campus, and no matter how criti- cal some students are, it seems like everybody reads it. CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES When you are a freshman, you ' re subjected to all sorts of inconveniences that you don ' t have to endure as an upperclassman. Cultural Perspectives is one of these. CP requires attendance of ten cultural events such as recit- als, plays, convocations, and art exhibits. Two things make Cultural Perspectives particularly inconvenient: 1) the fact that you have to go, and 2) the fact that if you do not attend five of these events by midterm, your parents call in a rage demanding to know why you have an F in this class. It doesn ' t do any good to try to explain that because you didn ' t run over to the art museum one afternoon, you received the grade. It also doesn ' t do any good to try to explain that once you do this you will have a passing grade. Instead, you have to listen to your parents tell you to study more in this class, and in the meantime, your allowance is cut. • i ■■ --2 i ITR BW ■ ■- i? l i fiM fT -am . 1 II 3 m | V 1 :.■■,,,,.■.- ,:■:■-■-■■,:■:• mWmf » 1 f f f P t % • if D DORM LIFE Living in the dorm is a test of compatibility and toler- ance. The nice things about the dorm are the fact that there is always someone to talk to, no required cleaning, and it is cheap with maintainence and utilities included. The bad things about the dorm are the noise, the lack of privacy, fire drills after midnight, and the fact that a meal ticket is required. More problems concerning room as- signments drift into the Dean of Students office than anything else, and living with someone whose habits are not like yours make you appreciate your room at home. l 1 B.
