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

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.
