Seniors . inSTHLLRTIO The Probe Fair was a gathering of a small number of college re- presentatives. The representa- tives had the necessary applica- tions and they were always ready to answer a question. The NSSFNS fair however was more extensive. This fair had more col- leges from all around. The col- leges were quick to win one over with little souvenirs they gave away. The fairs gave juniors a previews so that they could begin making their choices early. For the seniors, the fairs made deci- sion making a little bit easier. Short of touring a college cam- pus, Probe and NSSFNS were the next best thing to being there.

Seniors Before departing this great school, all seniors must have achieved the required quarter hours in Science, Mathematics, English, and Social Studies. In the science field, one might have found very demanding Physics on his schedule. Or if one was into knowing about the body Hu- man Biology was an order. Trigo- nometry, Calculus, and Logic were the main Mathematics courses being taken. After the re- quired sixty hours of English, Shakespeare, or Trends In Con- temporary Literature might have been taken. For those who didn ' t prefer Literature, Occupational English, or Argumentation were good courses. For seniors want- ing to know more about their own and other countries as well. World Studies could be taken. For students who wanted to know a little about countries and how they related to each other, they might have taken Interna- tional Relations.
