uniors struggle with PSAT exam The preliminary scholastic aptitude test - a short- ened version of the SAT, was administered on Octo- ber 23rd. Any junior who paid 85.00 to Gloria Lambert at the activities window was eligible to take the test. The test would help students in a number of ways, if they are planning on going to a four year college. The PSAT helps students form their plans for college, familiarize themselves with timed tests, and will give you an idea of what material needs to be studied on the SAT. In addition, the PSAT gives you a good idea of the outcome of SAT scores. More juniors participated in taking the PSAT than was expected. Many students thought that the test was harder than anticipated. Dana Gribble said I thought the math was easy, but didn't understand a lot of things on the vocabulary section. junior Tammy Smith added, It was a difficult test but, it will help me prepare for the SAT.

uniors take on new responsibilities As the school year drew to a close the junior class started thinking about their new responsibilities. Kelly Penhall com- mented, Now that we're upper classmen we should set an example for the lower classes because they look up to us and how we respond to being juniorsf, The way some juniors responded to their new responsibilities was to take themselves, their classes and their duties more seriously. Grades improved, the academic standings of the class as a whole improved and juniors began to seriously think about their future. Decisions about continuing education after high school were discussed. If the decision was to stop formal education after graduation, another decision was to be made. What was that ,--. l person to do with his life? Trade school? A job? The military? A career? Marriage? If the decision was to continue formal education, another deci- sion must be made. Where was that person to continue his formal education? A college? A university? A junior college? What should he major in? What about a minor? How could he support himself? Who would pay the tuition and cost of books? College entrance exams needed to be dealt with. Preparing to take the SAT was the reason many juniors took the PSAT. Entrance into college was also the reason that juniors began to take more challenging academic classes and to try to get better grades, instead of just gliding through classes with mediocre grades. julie Mahler Tina Manaaci Cla Mansell Dakine Marian.
