HOW Sponsored by the counseling center, a wellness fair on November 2-6 occurred in the lobby of the Student Center. The fair had many activities for students to participate in to check their level of healthiness. Several tests, including a hemoglobin test, health risk test, metabolic disease test, and hearing test were conducted free of charge for students. Also, videos were shown on areas of health such as "Stress Management" Gift of life.

Booths were set up in the Student Center with free information being given away. Students could also check their fast food knowledge and their career outlooks by participating in the computer programs available. The presentation of films or speakers happened nightly with subjects ranging from drug use to sex. Other activities were continuous, such as free materials, a relaxation therapy booth, mood stickers, time management and study skills information, and tables ready to play several games. Because of all this and the high participation by the students, the week was a great success. - Sharon Bowles Thicker than water.

The event, directed by Tim Bruner with Alumni and Parent Relations, coincided with high school day. During the weekend, parents were encouraged to attend classes with their students on Friday and encouraged on Saturday to attend programs and special classes. Saturday night highlighted the weekend when parents were invited for ''An Evening with the President." In Harding Park behind Dr. and Mrs. David Burks' home, a complimentary barbeque dinner for parents and students was served. The administrative staff and faculty members served the food. Because of the overall success of Parent's Weekend, it will become a yearly event. - Sharon Bowles What could be more satisfying on a warm October Wednesday night than a calorie-loaded banana split supreme? Thanks to Galaxy and Ju Go Ju social clubs, the craving for ice cream was filled. After the 5: 30 church service by Mike Cope, 274 students strolled to the student center seeking ice cream. There, they were treated to Yarnell's Ice Cream, bananas, and toppings for only $1.50. The $100 profit the clubs earned went to the Italian missionaries. In previous sales they had earned over $200, but because the price was Cheese. Dr. Ed Wilson clicks a family portrait during Parent's Weekend. For a fee of only $7, students lowered from $1.75 to $1.50, less profit was made. Besides earning money for the missionaries, the project also served as a social outlet. Members of Galaxy intermingled and became closer to their sister club, Ju Go Ju. "The banana split sale was great because we got to meet people of all clubs. I made friends as I served the ice cream," continued Sansom. All the pluses of the sale, socializing and earning money, also provided for - "Ice cream, Ice cream, we all scream for ice cream." - Sharon Bowles received two 8 x JO's and four wallet-size photos. - photo by Bill Tripp. Glances at 25 Student Life
