The calm before the storm. CDC counselor Bob Bump puts a finishing touch on posters for College night. Approximately 750 students, parents and representatives were soon to arrive on the scene. Students learn about life after high school In an attempt to find out if there is life after high school, an estimated 750 stu- dents and parents attended College night. Sept. 18. 84 local and out-of-state colleges and universities had represent- atives set up displays in the student cen- ter and lunchroom areas. Career Development Cluster counse- lor Bob Bump said that College night was a big success — more so than those at many other schools since Skyline puts all colleges represented in one central area. Many other high schools holding College night must separate the col- leges into classrooms which prevents smaller colleges from getting as much exposure. Almost half of the universities attend- ing College night were from Texas with 20 from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Tennessee. Some representatives from as far away as Michigan, New York and Connecticut also attended. High school counselors were also on hand to answer questions and give gen- eral information about Skyline's cluster programs. Information please. Counselors Sylvia Valle and teo Naeger greet visitors to College night. Counselors set up shop in DE and Co. to pro- vide information for guests. Open for business. Counselor Don Presley answers questions for senior Kenneth Hutch- ens at DE and Co. 20 People

Clubs, CDC prepare for big event Preparation for Homecoming '79 began several weeks before the big event, involving many organizations and clusters. Horticulture took 125 orders for mums ranging from $5 to $15 and also provided carnations and mums-on-sticks to be sold in the stu- dent center during lunch. Art cluster students, headed by Robert Batson, painted a mural of the Dallas skyline which covered the front wall of the cafeteria. Disc Jockey Jonni Dodd from San Fran- cisco presented the music for the dance. The student senate which spon- sored the annual happening publi- cized the dance, decorated the cafe- teria, sold tickets and provided food and drinks for the dance. Mums the word. Andrea Wooden examines the $10 version of homecoming mums. 22 People
