“A day spent visiting Atlantic
Christian College can be very
TTorthwhile for seniors wishing to
attend small colleges,” said Susan
Libby, Fike senior. Many seniors
Biis year, in order to further their
education, are investigating various
colleges.
On Oct. 29 Susan attended three
freshman classes: Spanish, English,
and Western Civilization. On Mon
day, Wednesday, and Friday class
es last 50 minutes. On Tuesdays
and Thursdays the classes are ex
tended to 1 hour and 15 minutes
to prevent having classes on Sat-
irday.
When asked how classes were
eonducted, Susan replied, “The
Spanish class was conducted like
the classes Mrs. Patterson and Mrs.
Dunn teach here at Fike. English
was divided into class participation
and a lecture by the teacher. West
ern Civilization was a lecture, which
is typical of many college class
es.”
Social life on the campus revolves
around the many fraternities and
sororities that have various activi
ties. These activities include beach
parties, brother - sister banquets,
cook-outs, breakfast and diimer par
ties, and dances.
Other extra - curricular activities
Hiclude working on the Pine Knot,
the college annual, and the Colle
giate, the newspaper. Band, Stage
and Script (Drama), are two more
activities.
