Senior Release Profitable. by Scott T royer

A Look

Into The Seventies

Vibrationsby Ed Pentecost'

Is senior release really working out? As a senior, Ifeel it is. I think that senior release gives the studait the

incentive to try harder to get better grades. IpersonaUyknow that it does because I was not on senior release the

first nine-weeks of the year, but it gave me the desire tostrive to get my grades up to obtain the privilege of begin onsenior release. Another proof of this is the fact that overhalf of the senior class is either on the Honor Roll or the

Honorable Mention.Though it seems to help the seniors grade-wise, it also

should help seniors to leam how to r^ulate their time as towhen the y should study and when they do not have to. Incollege, seniors will find that there are no study halls andthe smart senior will have to leam to regulate his time.This program is a good system for doing just that.

I feet then that seniors should guard well this privilegeand keep within the rules laid out under this program becauseprivileges can be lost much more easily than they are gained.

Seventeen searches into the future - as far as the mmacan comprehend - and enuisions the wonders of a dramaticnew decade. In the air, under the sea, at home, in our schools,in the arts, in the sciences, here are some of the miraclesof the stirring.

Soaring Seventies that will alter your life: There'll befloating airports on the seas; you'll speed, often faster thansound, to sun and surf for mini-vacations and "stretch weekends'; there will be movie-theatre-sized planes equippedwith discoteques; you'll be tuning in to more than eightyTV channels; telephones with pictures - and no lines - willalso be used for teaching; "fashion mirrors,' reflectingthrough slides, 'will let you see yourself modeling clotheswithout trying them on; windows will control the direction,colo r and intensity of light; what you wear will be temperature - controlled; sweaters will close up when breezes blow,dresses will change color when the sun shines; chairs willturn on witli music and lights when you sit down; 'self-destruct packaging*^ will keep you from drowning in waste;liberal arts will be emphasized again over the scientificand technical fields; electronic libraries will bring you the

greatest experts in the world on any subject; eighteen-yearolds will be pulling levers in voting booths; typewriters willautomatically correct mistakes and produce carbons, thoughsecretaries will still be in great demand; motor vehicleswill be eliminated as a prime source of air pollution; spaceage art will turn to three-dimensional painting and sculpturewith sound and motion programmed to run by electricityfor three thousand hours with never a repeat impression;hot soup, warm buns and freezing ice cream will be servedfrom the same pre-pack; cancer will no longer be the NumberTwo Killer; aiiificial hearts, operating with internal powersources, will be implanted with fre(jiencyo

But the dazzling new inventions that make living easierand travel swifter may also make more precious those quietmoments of joy that tlie human spirit has cherished throughouthistory; a walk in the rain, a dip in the briny sea, the sightof a glowing sunrise, a peaceful hour of reflection. Havingreached the moon in the sixties, perhaps in the Soaring Seventies we shall rediscover the earth!

Bruises from pinching are sometimes the after-effects ofSt. Patrick's Day. It has been the custom of the U.S. to weargreen on this Irish holiday or else pay the conseqienceswith a pinch from anyone who notices you aren't wearinggreen.

St. Patrick was really qiite a man, according to the IrishLegend has it that he banished the snakes and toads fromIreland and brought down darkenss upon his enemy. Nowonder he is the Irish hero. In fact, at his death so great•was the golory of his going to heaven that there was no nightfor twelve days.

Through the years we have come to associate this manwith shamrocks and the color green for no reason that Iknow, but remember St. Patrick on March 17.

Counselor's Corner

Seniors who are thinkingabout college next year arefaced wth quite a problem.Some of the questions theymust seek to answer are:

What am I going to do? Whenshould I go?, and How am Igoing to pay for my college?These (jiestions are important and should require alot of thought. Most seniors,however, do not give as muchthought to answering thesequestions as they ought to.

Many seniors never evengive college a thought untilthey have graduated. A student should start thinkingabout college b^re Jhe endof their junior year, hi thisway a student can give a

more logical answer to questions that can affecthis entirelife.

Seniors who are now thinking about attending some typeof educational institution after

graduation should try to visitthe school before they decide.It may notbe what you thoughtit would be. You will beinvesting a large amount ofmoney and time in the schoolyou choose.

You wouldn't buy a newdress or a new car beforeyou even looked at it — wouldyou? So, look beofre youbuy!!
