EDITOR ' S NOTE Welcome to Cowley County Community College! In choosing Cowley as the starting place for your college career you have given yourself the opportunity to further your education in a very personalized way. While developing the fundamentals of your education you will encounter teachers who are truly interested in you, the student Most often those teachers will greet you by name in and out of school. It is a nice feeling to know someone cares about you, especially if you are far from home. Throughout the year there are memorable events that will make your first years in college special. Listed below is a small portion of my personal favorites. They ought to be placed on a calendar of the not to be missed events held throughout the year. Tiger Tube Week One of the funniest events to be held all year. This event is a great way to get acquainted with other students because it occurs during the first week of school. Tiger Tube is a round of hilarious games and contests all involving gigantic innertubes. The Tiger Tube Finale incorporates a river race and cook-out on the banks of the Arkansas River. SGA Halloween Dance There is no excuse for missing this dance. Everyone dresses up so start planning your costumes early. The best place to shop for that special outfit is the Salvation Army. Cowley ' s Family Day Oct. 10 marks one of the rare times when you are encouraged to bring your entire family to school for special events and entertainment. This is the perfect opportunity to see you teachers performing in the talent show. Arkalalah For those of you from out of town this is Ark City ' s special day. There is Queen Alalah, who is always a Cowley sophomore, an incredible three-hour parade down Main Street, an even better kiddie parade, pancake breakfasts, carnivals, and dances. Christmas Break A month off before second semester begins, need I say more? Homecoming Valentine Dance What a chance to see some of your friends dressed in something other than sweats. The decorations are incredible. Tigerama .One of the last events of the year. A celebration that combines a picnic dinner, games, and a dance for that last fling of the year. Choose your teams wisely for the games, the competition is stiff, and the games are outrageous. Honors Banquet Held the last week of classes, the Honors and Awards Banquet is an opportunity for the College and its instructors to give recognition to students for their outstanding performances during the year. You will be amazed at how the time flies and suddenly it is May and time to take your finals. The best advice I can give any student, is to become involved in events on campus. There are enough clubs, committees, staffs, and entertainment to provide something for everyone. This is a great way to meet new friends and develop your self esteem. The second-best advice I can give is to budget your time wisely. School is the main attraction here at Cowley, so do not spread yourself too thin. Pick a few things that you are truly interested in and do your best. Last of all, I urge you to listen. At times there are so many things going on at once that it is hard to keep up with it all. College is about so many things. Cowley is about a little more. by Julie Reed ON THE COVER-Tammy Wyant makes a splash at Tiger Tube week last year.
