Bank Ok WeAiCd PeCiDteKtS yaite JUST THE RIGHT TOUCH 8 very year the Bank of America awards are given to seniors who seemed to stand out in certain areas and whose work went beyond that which was required. These awards were given to those stu- dents who showed excellence in a area for at least three years. There were two types of awards which were given out, one was a certificate and the other a plaque. The recipients of the plaques could go on to be el- igible for a state award and if they win there they compete for a scholarship. The recipients of the plaques were Robin Dennis, Yuan Heng Hsu, Ginny Kipers, and Robert Lee. The certificate recipients were Monzer Al- dimassi, Thomas Chao, Connie Chen, David Chen, Judy Chow, Janet Chung, Matt Clementz, Vanessa Hall, Susie Koh, Tim Kudinoff, Olivia Litis, Terry Pri- ester, and Celene Soto.

Guidance. TOWARD THE RIGHT DIRECTION H ollege? This pressing ( » dilema for all the seni- — ors, who are entering their final year of their high school, can be easily answered by making a short visit to the Career Center. The Career Center, one of Wilson ' s finest aids to the student body, is there to help many confused students in planning for a career getting a job, or choosing a college. The center was filled with college catalogs, which could be checked out an anytime. It also provided information on vari- ous professions which were stored on computer software. In addition, the center helped stu- dents gain work experience through ROP. The Career Center uniquely counseled students through Peer Counseling. In this pro- gram students counseled other students. The center felt that this was an advantage to the in- dividual students, who were comfortable communicating with a person of the same age. They felt more at ease with someone their own age because they seemed to understand bet- ter than if it was an adult. The Career Center was there not because all other schools have it, but because the school wanted to benefit the students. The center hoped that the stu- dents would realize that it is there for their own use, and and that use would increase to help and guide them in any possible way. by Grady Han ▲ THE CAREER CENTER STAFF — Alan Liu, Susan Kim, Richard Lee, Celeno Soto, Julie Kown, Shin photo by Dawn Wazny ► Julie Kown is kept busy filling out applications and calling to find out more information about colleges, photo by Dawn Wazny Tim. 126 Cam GewteJi

Sv idson Siuobtfs Suieep HISTORY DAY AWARDS i f istory Day was a tremen- qnJ dous success even though t - l very hard rains changed many plans of the day. This did not stop the Wilson students from entering their projects. As a matter of fact when the awards were being giv- en out Wilson swept the awards. Some of the categories that Wil- son students won in included group oral performance, group and individual drama perfor- mances and historical papers. Christine You who along with others won in the category of group oral performance said, It was a lot of hard work and a lot of preparation but it was worth it. The winners now move to a county competition where they can then win and compete in state competition and if they win there they advance to the nationals in Washington, D.C. by Kim King nnuLnvi-un .
