Good ole days going, going, gone Accustomed to reading the summary in- stead of the entire chapter, being friends with a teacher in a class of twenty eight, and using fantastic excuses for being late? Well, several students sacrificed those high school privileges, when they took their first college courses. For the second year, Tarrant County Junior College offered Freshman History and English classes to high school students. The college classes provide time for you to get some of the credits for college over with, Melanie Nowell, senior, said. Both classes should have met at the high school on alternate days, but due to a mix up with TCJC, the classes were offered at the same time and on the same days, but at different locations. This posed a problem for the students tak- ing the English course, because the classes started at 2:40 and if they had a fifth period, they got out of school at 2:30 and had only ten minutes to drive to TCJC, park, and get to class. High school and college students are the same. It's the settings and environments that make the classes different,'l stated Mrs. Ann Bastable, TCJC history instructor. The history class started out with eight enrolled, but by midsemester only three re- mained.

Representatives from 56 out of the 60 colleges invited answered questions and gave out brochures telling about their colleges. Between 250 and 300 seniors signed up to participate in College Day. Several junior English classes also attended. College Day definitely makes students more aware that college time is near, Senior Counselor Mrs. Libby Conant, stated, lt gives those who have not really been in- terested some encouragement. There were only three or four colleges I was interested in. They helped though, because they told things about their school l didn't know, Debbie Barnes, senior commented.
