From that early 8 olclock class to the one we liked the most . . . such as P.E. or Drama the past school year has been one to re- member with clarity and hap- piness. When driving onto the campus this year we noticed something different. The beau- tiful campus! The flower gar- dens were the results of the Horticulture studentls pro- jects. Some of us were lazy, but others were hard at work. Work that's the name of the game . . . the 3173 students enrolled during 1985-86 began to work on their future on Sep- tember 4.

The col- lege serves many counties, but in the three county area, Al- leghany, Ashe, and Wilkes, there are centers for classes both in the skills area and the college transfer programs. On September 25, 1985, the latest skills center was dedicated with a ribbon cutting followed by a reception at the center. The center is located on a mountain side in Ashe County with a beautiful mountain scene in the front. Whether we are in Ashe County, Alleghany, or Wilkes, we see a beautiful col- lege surrounded by flowers and nice buildings. B Townes, Gordon Ogilvie, Karen Griggs, and Emily Duvall, completed the landscape for the Ashe County Center, and on the day of the ribbon cutting the flowers were beautiful.

This was the first spark of a big explosion of student life, fun, and together- ness for the year. Registration consisted of making a class schedule, pictures taken, I.D. cards made, and books to be bought.

For all, this year was a time of questioning, deci- sion making, and exploring. 'There were choices to be made, financial concerns, relation- ships, and political ideals to be examined. Working as we did during 1985-86, made the year one of unparalled outreach and discovery - a year to tip our hats to.

Freshmen orientation was very well explained and each fresh- men was given a package of material on the procedures for completing the registration, so there were only a few questions to be answered. Sophomores, Tim Porter and Mark Wooten, find registration day easier than the 1984 registration when they were freshmen. Tim Porter is in the Pre-Computer Science program while Mark is in the Associate-in-Arts pro- gram. Both plan to transfer to a univer- sity next fall. N?

What we didn't know was the training he received from the program. His training included basic knowledge to become a skilled tech- nician. He has studied the complexities of internal combus- tion engines, multi-speed transmissions, hydraulic systems, diesel fuel injection, and other essential components of die- sel equipment.

Then, there was that shirt with just the right name - 'SWCC - Harvard on the Yadkin . Sometimes, we could find our fellow 28 -- Freshmen students, Patricia Ble- vins, Danny Black, or Sharon Ward, willing to help us or just talk to us, since they are working in the bookstore. Each year they give us a chance to buy some old textbooks and others for 51.00 an inch thick. We load down with these books to assist us in our studies. Oh, I forgot my friend's birthday.

Several students met every Thursday night from 6 until 9 p.m. for an exciting game of bowling. These students were taking either Bowling I, II, or IIIor their P.E. classes. All of us looked forward to Thursday nights because of the fun and excitement. In class we learned the correct approaches a player needs and the terms associated with bowling.

Well, anybody can tell that the Horticulture classes are busy making the campus a beautiful area. In fact, they are aspiring to make the grounds a public garden. Also, the department is applying to become a member of the National Aboreta and Britanical Association. As a ma- jor feature, the Ruth V. Colvard Rose Garden featuring the gorgeous fountain, will serve as a drawing card for the gardens. There are 350 different rose bushes. Even- tually there will be a total of 600.

On the drivers side of the car, there was a dark haired guy holding what looked like a Brillo pad. He was trying to sand off that bumpy, rusty look- ing stuff. As I walked on through this shop, there was a man sitting at a desk grading papers. Mr. Gerald Wood was this manls name. He is the Auto Body Repair in- structor. Students in his class center around two main ideas or values. 38 - Freshmen First, the theory tells who, what, and why. Sec- ond, the students practice on live projects, like, wrecked cars and trucks, until skills are developed and the procedures be- come habits. The time I was in this shop, I kept staring at that old yellow station-wagon. I thought, No way, this is impossi- ble to fix. , but after looking at the car beside it, with its shiny new coat of paint, not a scratch or dent to be seen, I realized the impossible is possible with the boys in Auto Body. . . .

Well, I didn't ex- actly know where to go. Man, life was like wandering in the fog - not knowing where to go or what to do. Sometimes we didn't care, for we needed time to sort things out and to get into different activities. We learned quickly that the college had diver- sity. A person can find themselves here. Whether it be a major, or a lifestyle, there is no pressure for one to conform to any one way of life. The college gives you a chance to be you and a chance to find others. Yes, anyone can find themselves -- if we take the time to do it, have enough patience to try, and enough courage to keep trying until we succeed. it's just that simple or that difficult.

From the secretarial courses to the accounting courses to the microcomputer courses, a close-knit network exists. The instructors of the Business Department work hand-in- hand with the students, creating an excel- lent learning atmosphere. Walking down the corridors of the Business Department, one hears the silence of study. And, nes- tled within that silence, one can hear the quiet wheels turning as students and in- structors solve the many problems of the business world. Though the trend in busi- ness is rapidly becoming one of computers, I know that this Business Department will always keep up with the pace of the con- tinuously changing society. . . .

You,ve got it! The Student Commons. On any day you could walk through and find people doing their best Natureboy Rick Flair imitations, the wrestling game, or making like Bruce Lee on the Karate ma- chine. If this sounds rough you should have seen the people at the ping pong table. These people did not mind slamming one in your face to get your attention. If this was too violent you should have tried the big screen T.V., where it was Saturday Night at the Movies every day. Some favorites were Fri- day the 13th, Mad Max, Dirty Harry, and Creep Show. The student commons was a real jungle, a jungle of fun, or as the late great Edgar Allan Poe said, fgive or take a few wordsj Ask not for whom the commons bell tolls, it tolls for thee. . . .

The course was an opportunity to learn more on our own conve- nience. Many took advantage of learning and earning credits in the privacy of their own homes. . . .

When ran, it will produce Com- puters, Computers, Computers . . . Every- where! And, that is basically the truth for our decade of the l980's. Computers play an important role in the American society of the l980's, and they appear just about everywhere. Banks use computers to keep everyone's bank ac- counts up to date. School's use computers to keep track of students' grades and re- cords. Accountants use computers to keep everyones tax records up to date. And, students use computers to keep up with the pace of the constantly modernizing soci- ety. Computers do appear practically every- where. A computer can be found in just about every room on campus. The various departments use them to print out their reports and documents, and to keep in constant ON LINE Contact with one another. The various departmental secre- taries use them more so than the old type- writer, to print out reports, documents, and other information. The mainstream of the network, howev- er, can be found in rooms 407 and 144, Pete Petrie's, Jim Barrow's, and Randy Joyner's computer laboratories. Within these rooms, students learn a skill that they will need for the rest of their lives. That skill is the problem solving and the programming of microcomputers, which is the way of the l980's. ' Computers are joining the American so- ciety. They are not taking it over. No mat- ter how complicated society and the com- puters become, the human touch will al- ways be needed. After all, the computer doesnlt think for itself. For its operation it needs the brains of the programmer. 10 VTAB 8:For L21 39:Print ':: gNext- :Print 20 VTAB l0:HTAB l5:Print END 30 VTAB l2:HTAB l5:Print OF 40 VTAB 14:HTAB 2l:Print PRO- GRAMM 50 VTAB l6:For L21 to 39:Print :',gNext: print . . .

It was only 10 minutes until economics class would start and you lived 6 minutes from the college, that is, if you didn't stop at any stop signs, drove like a mad man, pedestrians and cops were scarce and you could find a parking place within 20 seconds of the classroom. You ran through the shower while brushing your teeth, grabbed your books, shoes, and towel dried your hair on the way out. You raced down the driveway and your luck was holding as the neighbors dog pulled little Tommy out of your path. 'Tm gonna make it, you said to yourself as you come into view ofthe school, but, then . . . was it soap in your ears or was that a siren? You pulled reluctantly to the sidewalk and ac- cepted your ticket graciously, while you mumbled under your breath.

From your reac- tions, I can derive much about your feelings and thinking, and much con- cerning your general mood. A rose may attract your attention. By perceiving the color, the smell, the stab of the thorn, you form an impression of this yellow rose in your mind, and this impression promptly merges with past impressions! The rose in your mind is bound to be similar to the rose in mine, but they are not identical, because no two minds are ever the same. Psychology allows us to explore the in- ner most secret places of our very being. We boldly go where no man has gone be- fore in search of the elusive mind of man. With painstaking introspection and obser- vation of our own experiences we learn what makes us behave the way we do and how others perceive us. The great gap to be bridged in our knowledge of the mind is to understand how the actions of the ner- vous system can be translated into con- sciousness. The mind of man has always seemed as mysterious and fascinating as the universe itself. Come, explore the questions. Will the mysteries disappear when we understand the anatomical struc- ture, or does the mind have mysteries of its' own? . . . Robin Daniels Mind Mind . Mind .
