Summer nds With Registration . . . As the final days of summer came to a close, the students of Garland began school registra- tion. The 1982 seniors mingled together August 17 in the Colonel cafeteria. The following days during the week of August 17, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen officially registered. Thursday, August 20, a mock pep rally and a tour through SG was offered to help new students become acquainted with the campus. Long lines and patient waiting also marked the beginning of school. Students waded in with old familiar friends and some new faces. Many came before or after work, football, band or volleyball practice. The usual process of completing forms and index cards awaited each student. Textbook clearances, parking permits, college preferences and various other kinds of literature were available. The SG Student Council required all registered students to obtain an identification card. These cards were 31.00 in cost. They contained the stu- dent's picture, classification, id number, and ex- tracurricular activities. ID cards were made on the premises in a matter of minutes. As of last year, a majority of school related activities required these cards for admittance. Underclassmen met with their appointed counselor and surveyed their tentative schedules. lf any complications had arisen, the counselor had an opportunity to meet with the student and become acquainted with him and his academic in- terests and accomplishments. Students were also photographed for the Sabre during enrollment. Taking underclassmen pic- tures for SG was Hennington Studio of Wolfe City. Every student was faced with the realization that the end of summer vacation was drawing near, and the beginning of school, homework, football games, and renewing friendships were knocking at their door. -4 SG Counselor Roger Ellis reviews students' schedules. ...
