Julie Diebold-Drum Major It ' s a 6:30 a.m. on a cool Satur- day morning as my alarm clock shrieks through the house. Today is a big competition, so I know I have to drag myself out of bed and get ready. Every morning before a com- petition, I play our show tape and practice my directions. As I put my uniform in my garmet bag and po- lish my boots. I visualize the field show in my head. The minutes be fore we go on to the field are the most important to me I like to stretch out and concentrate on the show before we even enter the the field. After wishing everyone good luck, its time to show our stuff. Over the speakers you can hear the announcer say And now, the Gold en Pride from Arlington High School . This is our cue to get ready to be our best. Arlington, the judges are ready. Now we show what all the practice is for. Once again the Golden Pride has given it their all and given a great perfor- mance. The reward for all the hard work is now here. As I and the other offi- cers walk out for awards we know we ' ve done our best. We all hold hands when they come to our divi- sion; and then they announce it, the band, flags, and drill team have all won their division! by Julie Diebold Grades Maintained Despite Move Changing schools in the middle of high school can be different for some people, but not for two individuals in particular. Joe Beltran and Eve Larson not only did exceptionally well in their other schools, but the move didn ' t phase them at all, because they ' re still at the top of their class. Joe attributed his high grades to good study habits, Changing schools and maintaining my G.P.A. were not difficult processes, because my study habits helped me adapt to Arlington. Eve stated that her school in Virginia was a lot harder. The lowest A was a 94%, and I had a lot of homework. Mow that they ' ve adjusted, both are still doing quite well, at the top 2% of their class. In addition to the great grades, Joe was involved with Mock Trial and Academic Decathalon, and Eve participated in the marching band. And if that wasn ' t enough, they both had a birage of AP classes. Even with all my Advanced classes and activities, I schedule my time appropriatly so I get it done well, concluded Joe Beltran. SR.

Now What? The Next Four Years EENIE, MEENIE, MINEY, MOE ... A major responsibility seniors faced was choosing a college. Almost half of the seniors planned to go to RCC. Realizing that a great many more students were planning on going to college this year, a survey was taken. A survey was sent out to several teach- ers with seniors in their second period classes. I ' m going to RCC, because I don ' t want to be pressured into going to a four year college right away, stated Dana Quin- tana. Besides Dana, there were several seniors opting for RCC next year.

Some planned on going to college first and then becom- ing a person in one of the fields named to the right and others were just plan- ning on going straight into their ca- reers. mission to all the colleges had gotten stiff. People applying for such universities as UCLA and C1C San Diego are being turned away, even if they have a 4.0 GPA. GCR is among these largely populated schools. Yeah, i know the competition for GCR is higher than ever this year, but I am confident that I ' ll make it, confided Vicky Keat- ing. by Cassey Klippel Answers How do I apply for college? When do I take the SAT? How long should I go to college? These questions were heard regularly by counselors, Mr. Jim Hill, Mrs. Kay Daughtery, Mr. Ralph Cline, and Ms. Karen Lee. Without my counselor I would have literally been lost. They helped me decide that I should go to RCC for two years so I can become a social work- er with more ease. After RCC I ' ll probably transfer to a uni- versity, said Andi Conditt. WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHEN? Andi Condditt asked about going to RCC. Mrs. Daugherty was only one of the counselors that helped sen- iors apply for college. 76 • PEOPLE
