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. Competition for ad- Career Goals ■RICHMAIN. POORMAN, beggar-man, theif, doctor, lawyer, Indian Chief. Most of the seniors knew what they were going to do. 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

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.

The Difference Between Now And Later Whether it was the finish line at the end of a race for a track team member or the goal line in the end zone for a football play- er, Arlington students found a great satisfaction in striving for goals placed ahead of them. Several students decided to make their involvement in sports a longtime commit- ment. Among the large amount of BOUNCE. BOUNCE! Dana Sims hears this sound all the time in basketball but doesn ' t plan on hearing it when gradu ates. Dana is going to attend college following her graduation students who wanted to turn pro after graduation were Wayne Fisk, Lynn Stark, and Richard Lugo. Coach Jacobs- meyer commented, The chances of the students being successful at turning pro are astronomically high. Some dreams may be ac- complished while still others may not. Those who plan on turning pro following gradu- ation are reminded of the quote, It doesn ' t matter if you win or lose, it ' s how you play the game. Now. . .The Dream, Later. . The Reality After I graduate I will be going to RCC and eventually I plan on becoming a nurse. I will miss some of my teachers, friends and most of all my boyfriend, but then again I can ' t wait to leave! replied Michelle Rocci. Wish I may, wish I might wish upon a star tonight. I wish that someday I will be- come a psychologist and ad- vise teenagers who are in need of professional help, dreamed senior, Mitzi Lozono. Mitzi ' s dream of becoming a doctor may seem surprising to fans who saw her perform in the plays Picnic and A Walk in the VROOM! Heather Hussey doesn ' t have the car of her dreams now. When Heather gets older and richer though, she is going to buy a Maserat. Park. They might peg her as an aspiring actress. In fact, several Arlington seniors, dreams were seemingly unrelated to their in- terests in high school. Yet in contrast, not every senior ' s dream and reality were different. Several seniors who were on the water polo team, for instance, wanted to turn pro following graduation. So, while your school activities and grades could be related to your future plans, they didn ' t deter- mine your aspirations. Keep wishing on that star! Oh, I don ' t know for sure what I am going to do when I graduate but what ever it is I ' m sure gonna have fun doing it! announced Ron Hanstein. 77 • SR. MINI MAG
