Advice and Help on College MR. H. THAD OTT Equations, formulas, and assump- tions are confusing to some students. In teaching mathematics Mr. Ott ex- plains these principles to students in preparation for college. As head coach he teaches his boys good sports- manship and helps them to develop their skill in order to win games. Mr. Ott, as guidance counselor, helps stu- dents in choosing their high school courses and in advising them about colleges. (L to R) Libby Ann Prickett, India Smoak, Sandra Zeigler, and Molly Riley seem to be interested in Coker College. Palmer, Co- lumbia, Newberry, St. Andrews, Baptist College at Charleston, Bob Jones, Columbia Commercial, Presbyterian, Furman, and Wof- ford were some of the colleges that were represented at this year's College Day. 18 Newberry was one of the most popular colleges represented at College Day. Many of the S.M.H.S. students showed an in- terest in Newberry. Juniors and seniors were given the opportunity to hear representatives of colleges discuss the advantages of the school they represented. College Day is very helpful in aiding a student to make his decision on the school that he will attend upon graduation. BOYS
