' Q'L'L'E'G'E' -D-A'-Y - HOICES The future was a frighten- ing thought for seniors, but there was something that helped relieve the worry: College Day. College Day was an oppor- tunity for Texas colleges to talk to local students. Repre- sentatives came from all over the state to recruit students. This year's College Day was a first - a first off campus. In previous years, the college representatives came to the school and set up in the commons. However, this year the recruiting was done on the: Amarillo College main campus. It was great to get off campus for College Day, Senior Don Plumlee said. A common thread between the new system and the old was the fact that seniors were allowed to miss fifth and sixth periods one day to attend. College Day gave seniors the chance to better plan for their future. It motivated me to start applying to colleges I was interested in sooner, Senior Stephanie Cook said. College Day was a way for seniors to alleviate the worries of the future. -Angela Dudley Student LifelCoIlege Day 23

I think she's the most influential person in schoolf, Senior Glenn Boyd said. i'lt's an honor, Junior Mike Campbell said. ln some aspects it was a popularity contest: the Belle was elected by the student body's popular vote.
