' Above is a landmark all past and present high school students

of Montaguewill rec-y ognize, Montague Reg- ional High. Ooops,

r Montague Junior Senior Highas it is now known although they haven't changed the sign yet.

If you look really closely at the extreme right, by the gym door, you will see two poor guys patiently waiting for the Driver Ed. car. Most likely they're free— zing to death as it was a ‘ fairly cool autum after- noon when this picture was taken. Wéll, there's one thing you can look forward to at U.P.E.I., you can always: find a warm, cozy corner to escape to on a cold day.

The decision as to whether or not to attend university is one that all high school students have to, make. Those who choose to go directly into the work force miss out on a valuble experience indeed by not sampling a taste of university for a semseter or two, even though they may decide afterwards that a university degree is not ,for them. The experience of attending university by

someone who does is one that '

can always be valued.

Ccmi'ngj'frun high school to any miversity and not just U.P.E.I., requires some adjustment because unlike high school, you are on your own and have to learn to be somewhat responsible for yourself. You still have to go class, pass in assignnents and papers, and (though I hate to say it) study(yeech!1

and there's no teacher or parent to tell you you have to "do it or else". A prof won't‘ send you to detention for a late paper but the

.fivemarks you lose for

each day it's late makes up for that. (Reminiscent of a certain Miss M. in roan 333pellrhaps?) It is import- ant to learn to allot and organize your time between parties, the Barn, and G.J.,s This is scmething to be thought of in September not the week before exams, when the panic sets in! ' contrary to popular belief,- there are lots more things ‘ to/do at U.P.E.I. besides ‘ going to party after party.

.Although U.P.E.I. may be

small in numbers on a scale with other universities,it is not small in resources. Apart from going to class , (as sane people do) there are numerous clubs and organizations in and around campus Which are always ready to welcone new re’cuits. There's noexcuse for being bored,so don't be a hermit. and sit in your roan nedit-

what university is all about. University is like anything else, you get out of it just what you put into it; It's not impossible to get to i know the majority of your fellow 1300 students at least by their faces if not by their names. - U.P.E.I., as do most uni- versities,has lots more '
