Angela Lansbury's Murder, She Wrote, Stephen King's Pet Sematary (Cemetery), modern renditions of Hitchcock's murder mysteries, and other evidence leads us to believe that there is more to a puzzle or mystery than the often complicated surface. Peopfe are drawn to mystery. We want to figure out how the pieces of life's puzzle tit together. We are all looking for the solutions to our problems. Consequenlly, we are usually brought together to solve a common problem. Sometimes our puzzles can be solved by concentration. Others take the cooperation of friends. The unity of students here at Surry Community College reflects our common goal of seeking the keys that unlock life's mysteries and puzzles. S#06-6?C>7 Theme 1 ruzztk- £owity teqalMU tint/.

He taught P,E. full- time fast fall, but resumed counseling duties in Winter Quarter. Searcy obtained B.S. and M.A. degrees from ASU (1979, 1980).

Introducing students to college routines and to the facilities available to them is what Orientation Day is all aboul, The morning program, held Wednesday, Aug. 29, 1990, began in the gymnasium with a welcome from Dr. Jim Reeves and a motivational performance by Dale VanHorn. Those who attended enthusiastically agreed that VanHorn was an exceptional speaker and wonder- ful performer who overcame a handicap that would have devastated most people. No doubt he was making a difference in the lives of those who heard him speak. After a short break, freshmen were encouraged to attend workshops that provided information concerning registration and records, transferring lrarn Surry, study skills, personal changes and social growth, "Making the Adjustment to College — How Things Really Are," and "Another Hat to Wear" (geared particularly toward stu- dents with full-time jobs and families). A picnic lunch was served around 1 2:30, following a brief meeting ol students and advisors. Second-year students and SG A members provided tours for students who were unfamiliar with the campus.

College Transfer Counselor Sue Jarvis plans programs to assist students in transferring. The annual Educational Opportunity Ses- sions scheduled by the CACRAO (Carolines Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers), held on September 25, provided one such opportunity. Seniors from area high schools and students from SCC talked with representatives from 34 colleges and six branches of the Armed Forces. "University Day," held October 3. offered SCO students interested in transferring to a state-supported uni- versity a similar opportunity to talk with transfer admissions personnel.

The idea for this commemora- tive occasion was proposed by Dr. Jim Reeves, Vice-President of Student Services, to reward stu- dents for their grades, conduct, and respect for school property. No one remembers exactly how long ago the celebration began, but most appreciate the tempo- rary break. They all seem to en- joy the food, events, and enter- tainment.

Students participate in various activities, contests, events, and socialize with their friends. In contrast to previous years. Student Appreciation Day went more smoothly in terms of student behavior. More students actually participated \n the activities that were planned for them. Some students may even have shared the knowledge and proverbs they accumulated throughout the year with their friends. Some of these words of wisdom may have included: "Pandoras Rule: Never open a box you didn't close/' or "The problem with having leisure time is how to keep other people from using it," Or perhaps they were thinking: "What this country needs is a good self-destructive campaign poster." Or "Tact is the art of thinking twice before saying nothing." Student Appreciation Day gave the students a chance to intermingle with friends and to add yet another key piece to their memories of college life.

Dobson is ihe county seat. This north- western border county was named in honor of Surry County. England, birth- place of incumbent gover- nor William Tyron, Surry County has many trademarks. The Mount Airy Granite Quarry. Pilot Mountain State Park, and Chatham Blanket Mills of Elkin are among the most popular. The Mount Airy Granite Quarry is the largest open- faced granite quarry in the world. The quarry is located about one mile east of Mount Airy on Route 103. Once considered worthless, the quarry sold for 50 cents an acre; rock was thrown in free. Thomas Woodrofle and Sons started quarrying the rock in the late 1880s. Pilot Mountain State Park, attracting many tour- ists, is another trade mark of Surry County. Pilot Mountain, a large quartzite momadnock, rises 1,500 feet above the surrounding countryside. A five mile 300-foot wide woodland corridor for hiking and horseback riding divides the park into two sections. The park is located 24 miles north of Winston-Salem. Hwy. 52.

Even the word commencement has connotations of a new start. But, just as graduation is a new be- ginning, it is also a time to reflect on the past. Now students must plan for the future and what it holds. The future may mean transferring to a four-year institution or entering the job market. Of course, graduation is also a time for excitement, as graduates receive degrees and recognition for their ac- complishments. Graduation Day is, af- ter all, a goal realized, a link between yesterday's dreams and tomorrow's successes.

ABE/GED pro- grams graduated 143 students Irom January to September, 1990, and the interest in continuing educational pro- grams is constantly rising, Only etght students were enrolled at the Lowgap location during Fall Quarter, but many others such as Randy Hawks and Beth JarreJI (pictured here with Hayes — tar right) are expected to lollow. This was Jarrell's first night. She had just taken the ABE/GED placement test and completed registration forms.

Meetuaj Tin, Of Tom&lltouJ Adult Basic Education (ABE) is available to adults who wish to learn to read and write, improve math skills, or prepare tor entry into the High School Equivalency Program, Math and history are also emphasized. Even practical skills such as using a telephone directory, reading road signs, counting money, and completing job applications may be incorpo- rated, depending on student needs. The High School Completion Program is designed to prepare adults for Tests of General Edu- cational Development (GED). In- struction is provided on an indi- vidual basis, so each student has a program of study designed to meet his specific needs. Upon successful completion of the pro- gram and a satisfactory score on the GED Tests, students are is- sued North Carolina high school equivalency diplomas. ABE /GED classes are held in local communities — Boonville, Dobson, Elkfn, Mt. Airy, Pilot Mtn. r and Yadkinville. Students enroll in these programs for a va- riety of reasons: to acquire bet- ter, higher-paying jobs: to obtain skills that enable (hem to help their own children with home- work; to provide personal satis- faction and a sense of accom- plishment. After all, no one can take away an individual's educa- tion. As Immanuel Kant said in 1803, "Education is an art. the practice of which can become perfect only through many gener- ations. Each generation, provid- ed with the knowledge of the pro- ceding one, can more and more bring about an education, which will develop man's natural gifts in due proportion and relation to their end, and thus advance the whole human race toward its destiny/' ABE/GEO 27 Pictured are (L-R) Ella Mae Newsoma, Instructor Norma Draughn. and Linda Crocker.

Oraughn is faking a computer course taught by SCC Instructor Wan- da Cutter. Computer Fundamentals (EDP 100} introduces students lo fun- damental concepts and the terminol- ogy needed to use a computer at home and /or on the fob. Courses such as these may provide personal fulfillment, background lor further studies, and/ or preparation lor ca- reers. As available employment de- creases — partially due to the pres- ence of "baby boomers" in tha workforce — employers throughout I he country are demanding higher educational standards. Rhonda White and Rosanna Yancey target their concentration on maine- matics this, particular evening at the Learning Lab on campus. Work-study student Angela Woodward, Instructor Gtenda White, and Lillian Satterlield (present instructor and lormer ABE/GED Director of Yadkin Coun- ty's Continuing Education) are avail- able to address questions and lo help students solve the problems they en- counter with the Individualized Instruc- tional programs. In preparation for their GED tests, students often spend three or four nights each week in the lab. Mastery of the material and peri- odical testing are necessary in order to meet North Carolina standards for general education. 01 course, stu- dents do have an occasional minute or two to just chat, but most students complete their studies as quickly and independently as possible. Sherri Hutchens and Patricia Byrd concentrate on two different subjects. Both are preparing lor the GED (Gen- eral Educational Development) Testa. One way to prepare lor the examina- tion is to work through a series of ex- ercise books and to endeavor to solve the various problems set before them. Intense concentration, a commorv sonse approach, and inductive and deductive reasoning are frequently employed. Byrd plans to enroH at SCC to lake additional courses while Hut- chens hopes to attend cosmetology school. 26 ABE/GED ABE/GEO Instructor Carl Hayes has been leaching lor Surry foe three years. Here he explains percentages to Pal Hawks as she listens intently. The class meets at Lowgap Elementary School on Thursday evenings from 6-9 P.M. Hayes provides a friendly and relaxed atmosphere along with individual attention lor his students. Frances Jones prepares tor her upcoming GEO Tests. Slightly pressured to pass the evaluation and to become the oldest SCC student 10 complete the program and to pass the tests, Jones is nevertheless determined to devote the necessary time and effort in order to achieve her goals. As instructor Norma Draughn gives her approval, Jones returns a smile of confidence and pride In her work. When asked if she would fulfill her intentions, she said. "I'm going to give it my best shot!" A Ckdfexqb To- Tkb Body Awl Tk Mud "Anything that I have no con- trol over, and can't help, no way or no how, I don't let it worry me « . . and I don't get real excited." says Frances Edward Jones, Born Nov, n r 1916. Jones at- tended King High, completed ninth grade, started tenth grade, became frustrated with algebra and geometry, and dropped out of school. "Lots of times I thought. 'I wish I'd gone on and finished school," explains Jones. So, when a Pilot Hosiery Mill co-worker suggested that they enroll in a high school equivalency program. Jones found herself back in school. "{Everybody was) sort of sur- prised." muses Jones, "because they didn't know anything about it . . . After I got by a little while without anybody catching up with me. it became a challenge then . . . That (fooling every- body) did me more good than my grade did . . . IVe had a lot of fun out of \xr Proud of her accomplish- ments, Jones and her classmates will formally celebrate with class rings, caps and gowns, ceremo- ny, and reception. The youngest of three children, she alone has earned a high school diploma. She was surprised that so many of her classmates couldn't read and write when they first began the program. She recalls, "I thought to myself, 'Weil, I ajn luckier than they are/ " "Kids today," she believes, "don't know what sacrifice is . . . and they don't take advantage ol what's out there for them. They do the least they can to get by . . . and their parents probably don't push them . . . Television is a big hindrance. They hurry through their homework . . . and some aren*t well-supervised by their parents because they work so much."

"Sparky" is a costumed character created by last year's club for just that pur- pose. The class visited all of the local elementary schools teaching its electri- cal safety program to kin- dergarten through third- grade children. The 1990-91 class has a more extensive electrical safety program to present to twice as many schools in North Carolina and Virginia. Last year's class spon- sored a free Safety Home Inspection Program. They inspected many locally owned home, some owned by the elderly. This year they have begun working on similar homes with elec- trical problems in and around Surry County. Local merchants helped sponsor a safety coloring book that the club and Le- Quire designed and copy- righted for the safety pro- gram. The salety coloring book was also distributed at this year's ML Airy Au- tumn Leaves Festival. Future plans include building a small trailer lo store and transport electri- cal supplies, toots, and equipment to class-spon- sored job sites.
