To some students the 1981-82 school year meant Friday night football and bas- ketball games, dances, Homecoming, BMOC, the Baronial, and parties. To oth- ers, however, the new school year meant work. Indeed g'Much Weeping proved to be the year's theme to students enrolled in the college prepatory classes, the A.P. classes of history, writing, and English, as well as the CORE classes. To these students the new year meant endless hours researching at the Chula Vis- ta and the Southwestern College libraries, and spending countless weekends in the per- iodical room. It also meant studying several different texts, reading novels, and learning how to type -the hard way. To the procras- tinators of this group it meant staying awake all night frantically writing term papers and cramming for tests. Their lives were not completely devoted to these classes though. In between assign- ments many found time to study for and take the PSAT, ACT, SAT, and ACH tests. Others, faced with the perplexing task of choosing a college, poured over various college catalogues in the counselor's room. When asked why they enroll in such classes, students reply that they're prepar- ing for college. This preparation also deals with learning the technique of writing col- lege and scholarship applications. Many devoted seniors put this knowledge to use while they spent their winter vacations tire- lessly typing up the numerous forms re- quired. As the year drew to a close these students, more than any others, dreamed of sleep, parties, and the beach. I8 College Preparation M .. ag f ---- 4. wma.-fzs
