Everyone Gets a Scholarship! Every student at Charter Oak has a scholarship to a ju- nior college. The taxes paid by each family finance these two-year schools, Mt. San Antonio and Citrus Colleges. Approximately thirty per- cent of the Charger senior class attends these colleges after graduation while only seventeen percent opt for a four year school. All told, Mt. SAC had over 650 Charger alumni during the fall of 1986. Some advan- tages of the junior colleges were that kids could afford them, kids could live at home, and kids could work part time while taking Tim Champagne William Chase jeffrey Chase Kristi Christensen William Chuang Stephen Cid john Cisneros Valerie Clark Kristin Clarke lim Collins Sean Connolly Gregory Connor Marc Cortez Summer Cortner Douglas Cowgill 24 Seniors classes. Usually, students planned to transfer to a tour year college after complet- ing their general require- ments. To transfer to UCLA, one merely had to maintain a C average in the necessary junior college courses. Finally, since the only ad- mission requirement was a high school diploma, the ju- nior colleges gave new op- portunities to students who did poorly in high school. The junior colleges definite- ly benefitted the Chargers who took advantage of their tax paid scholarships. -by Elon Goldstein 'K S, .K T Mt.
