Cclleees and Careers What a funny feeling it is to get lost in your own school! That is what happened on September 22nd to many students as they searched for the ap- propriate area of interest. Representatives gave speeches to make their branch of service, their col- lege, or their business seem more inviting. It was a night that proved helpful to many of those at- tending as they asked and pondered questions concerning their future. “Should I go to a four-year college or a two- year college?” “Should I go into the Army, the Navy, or the Air Force?” The decision is a difficult but rewarding one and College Career Night was one way of bringing it closer to reality. ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES ARE discussed by Donna Accettull from the University of Virginia. MEMBERS OF TFIE freshman class serve as guides for College Career Night. REPRESENTATIVES OF THE U.S. Army tell Barbara Hester that a career in the Army is not just for guys. COLLEGE CAREER NIGHT provides an interesting look into the future possibilities for Tommy Blevins, Ronnie Gillespie, Robin Kalber, and Joey Emerson. ' W rf r WJ. 14 College t :t Night

THE HALLS STAND deserted of people before the opening hours of school. STUDENTS WALKING DOWN the hall are jubilant because they have only 179 more days left. JOINING THE STUDENT body from Dublin. Ireland, is the foreign exchange student Sharon Parker. Cack to Work “Hey, which way to the cafeteria?” “Is this how I get to Room 218? “Help, I’ve been directed to the janitor’s closet! The new freshman class eventually found its way around the halls of a new environment with the help of a few upperclassmen and guides. The opening day assembly was a little chaotic as students dis- cussed their summer adve ntures and plans for the new year. Once again, as old friends met with one another in the halls, the ever present dread of schoolwork was prominent. The long lunch lines and crowded halls proved without a doubt that a fresh year had begun. Although many students had their regrets about once again putting their nose to the grindstone, the day turned out to be an exciting one with many students having high hopes that the doors had opened to a special year. GUIDE FOR THE day, Patty Morrell directs an un- knowing freshman to his class.

A BETTER BETA batter is made by Robert Thompson, Carol Conner, and Bunny May. A LOOK OF shock appears on Lisa Scott’s and Vicki Shew’s face as they learn that someone ' s candid camera has caught them. AS SHE LEARNS what she must do. Bunny May seems in shock. NOT BELIEVING WHAT she is doing. Lisa Scott runs around the cafeteria not once but three times. Beta Bakers The candles flickered peacefully as the senior Beta Club members began their quest for eligible juniors to tap. The task became a little confusing at times while trying to find the right person, but the assembly progressed without too many incidents. As usual, the newly tapped members faced the day of their initiation with some apprehension and some excitement. The phrase “Beta Bakers bought a bit of butter but the butter the Beta Bakers bought was bitter became familiar to the juniors as they recited it for the privilege of having senior members autograph their signs. Of course, nothing other than the chance to be a member of the Beta Club compelled them to stir the imaginary batter while running around the cafeteria or standing on a table saying those special words. For all involved it was a day not to be forgotten, but the prospect of getting the new members next year” gave some consolation to the flustered Beta Bakers. A LOOK OF indignation shows on Joyce Shepherd ' s face as she stands on the table in the cafeteria. Bel j I nilu
