A Twenty-Four Hour Experience Boarding at Woodward Academy has been a part of the Woodward tradition since GMA began 84 years ago. Resident students represent many states and for- eign nations and their life-styles tend to be somewhat different from the average day student. The Resident program saw many changes this year especially with the appointment of Mr. Howard Janke as Director of Resident Life. Woodward Hall dorm rooms were refurbished nd Weltner Evans courtyard was re-lands- caped. Many weekend activities were planned by Mr. Janke and the dorm par- ents. Their activities included trips to Stone Mountain, the Atlanta Greek Festi- val. Octoberfest in Helen and Woodward sports events which took place off cam- pus. The Resident life is made up of per- mits, study hours, signing in for breakfast, lights-out and messy rooms. It is a differ- ent existence from that of the 8 to 3 students, but it is a tradition fondly car- ried on by students willing to accept re- sponsibility for their own actions and dai- ly lives.

One of the highlights of fall quarter was 50 ' s Day Originally, 50 ' s Day was planned as a theme for a pep rally, but as the idea spread, students and faculty planned to participate. Everyone cam? dressed in their version of everyday 50 ' s wearing apparel, most of which had to be dug out ' of the backs of closets. The day was highlighted by a spirited pep rally reminiscent of 1955. The proceeds of the day went to the student activities fund which is used to help finance homecoming floats, buy special equf - ment for cheerleaders and pay for ' Student dartces held during the year.
