Free Money There is such a thing as free mon- ey, or almost . . . Each year there are milhons of dol- lars of unused money that was intend- ed to help benefit students to receive their education. There are many stu- dents who either quit school or just don ' t ever bother to continue their education because they can ' t afford it. The Financial Aid Office should be the first stop. There an application must be filled out, usually with family assistance. Next an analysis form would be made and sent out. When returned, this form will show exactly what the financial need is. It is then decided just where the money will come from. There are a number of different funds available. Some are sponsored by the Federal Government ; there is the Basic Grant BEOG, the SEOG, which is a supplemental grant, the college Work-Study Program, in which a student is placed in a job for the campus, and their way or part of their way through school is paid for, plus they are paid for the work done. Also, there is the Federally Insured loan, in which the Government pays the interest. Palm Beach Junior Col- lege sponsors an Institutional Grant and finally there is a State Grant spon- sored by the state. These are offered to all students. How much each stu- dent will receive depends upon the need, marital status and many other factors. There are also other ways of obtaining money. Many companies, clubs, and personal doners also pro- vide scholastic opportunities. Infor- mation on these can either be found by writing to various places at random or inquiring at the Financial Aid Of- fice. Some local churches will also offer helping scholarships or award scholarships. If money is needed for a universi- ty after attending J.C. the Financial Aid Office should also be notified at least one semester before graduation, so they can lead you in the right dir- ection.

23 Eissey Does It A QUENCH OF THIRST AT THE RECEPT itus, presented the symbol of office to the new president Dr. Eissey. The symbol is a medalion with the college seal on one side and the president ' s names and dates of office on the re- verse side. Dr. Maynor gave Dr. Eissey a warm embrace to welcome him to office. At 11:00, Dr. Eissey delivered his presidential adress. He kept it simple but focused on one topic: dis- contentment. He spelled out his dis- contentm ent with a number of areas affecting the school. At that moment, a slight note of comfort came for those on the platform or nearby rows. Un- fortunitly it lasted only for two or three minutes. Our new president would like Palm Beach Junior College to be for everyone including busines- men, industrial workers, old people, young people, black people, white, people, the handicapped, the minor- ities. He wants everyone in the com- munity to come to our school for info- rmation, for education, for inspiration, for leadership, and most of all for the opportunity to be of service to others, rather than others serving them. SOME SMILES FROM THE FACULTY Shortly after the inauguration, a reception was given in the Students Activity Center, next to the cafeteria. There were tables set up inside and outside the lounge. Each table had a small vase of either two or three carn- ations or roses in it. Coffee, punch, mixed nuts, variety of cookie and cake slices, and mints were served and all seemed to be enjoying them. Later in the afternoon, a luncheon was held in honor of Dr. Eissey at the Holiday Inn in south Palm Beach. The luncheon was closed to the gen- eral public. Dr. Eissey ' s family, pers- onal friends, out of town guests, and a few faculty members of Palm Beach Junior College attended. It was kept informal with no speeches and a non- alcoholic toast, :4c ., „ , Gail Scanlon PALM BEACH JUNIOR COLLEGE CHOIR

Spring Awakening ■25— •MORRIANNE LASH DIRECTS MARIELI VREDLAND, MICHELLE RIDEOUT AND KENDALL SMITH I am training you to be pro- fessionals , said Mr. Frank Leahy, director of this year ' s fall play. Spring Awakening. As he was giving the rules and directions to the cast on the first night of rehearsal, he was constantly referring to how things are done in Broadway theatres. He kept stressing that if anyone did not think that the theatre was extremely important, then they did not belong at rehearsal or in the play. But all of the members of the cast were completely devoted to what they were doing. They are all very talented and wanted to put on a Ui •ROGER KEIDER AND BOBBY AMOR ' good, professional play as much as Mr. Leahy did. There were four student directors, Susan Nutt, Bill Woodward, Marianne Lash and Gary Messick. Each director has certain scenes they were in charge of. They took the actors through the scenes, giving them the necessary direc- tions and changes in the script. This was known as blocking ; the actors would write the directions right on their own copy of the script and mem- orize them along with their lines. The directors could change the script for a particular scene if they felt one was needed. The actors also could suggest changes to make themselves fell com- fortable as possible with the set. Long speeches were cut down to get just the meat of the passage. This was done to keep them from getting too wordy and to convey the meaning of what the ch- aracter was saying to the audience and knowring where the actors were at all times.
