18 aa Looking through a college pamphlet, Greg Akers and Pam Love waste some extra time before going to their next class. Getting information about various colleges on Col- lege Day was easy, just ask Cary Casell, Timmy Wray, Benji Hartman, Doug Guillians, and Joe Webb.

Preparations for homecoming started in Octo- ber. The first event that started us thinking about the upcoming events was the court assem- bly in the central gym. Jenny Hodges, a SCA officer, introduced each attendant and her es- cort, and each homecoming queen candidate and her escort. The following week, we showed our school spirit by dressing in some of the zaniest outfits the halls of FCHS had ever seen. Monday was T-shirt day and a variety of shirts were worn by the students and faculty. Tuesday was Cowboy Day, Wednesday was 50’ day, Thursday was Hat day, and Friday was school colors day. A Spirit Chain contest was also held during the week, with the juniors as the victors. Seniors captured 2nd, Sophomores 3rd, and Freshmen last. Even though it rained, the football game was exciting. Bertha Clayborne was crowned queen and Ricky Cruze received the title Mr. Football. Blacksburg fell to the Eagles, naturally, 6-0.

Searching For The Right College Most of us found that College Day, held September 24, helped us decide which College offered the best courses to pre- pare us for our careers. Representatives from the various col- leges explained what majors were avail- able and what requirements we had to meet to be accepted at their college. For some, the day left us in a daze. The brochures, applications, and pamphlets loaded us down as we traveled from table to table. The seniors and juniors attended the Col- lege Day program to find out more about a certain college, while the day was main- ly a relief for the freshmen and sopho- mores, because they were able to miss up bs to three classes. The day was also a break for the teach- ers. Classes weren't as noisy as they would have been with a full class. College Day accomplished its purpose. Al- though some students may not have got- ten around to see all the colleges they wanted to, they were still pleased with the ones they saw. Paying close attention to the school’s representa- tive, these girls get all the information needed to start a career in nursing.
