John H. Alexander The Art of Annlication Tom M. Aaberg Dea Anne Albers 204 For many Seniors, the completion of High School is not the completion of their formal education. Beyond the walls of Brookfield Central High School there are a myriad of colleges and universities waiting to expand the minds of those recently graduated from High School, and for many BCHS Seniors, one of these institutes of higher learning will be home for the next four years. The decision to further ones educa- tion beyond High School may not be as hard as the decision as to which college or university to attend so as to attain the education best suited to ones personal needs and career expectations, along with the unfortunatly ever present finan- cial status which one holds. These things along with campus atmosphere, the size of the student body, location of the school, the schooI's credentials, and admission requirements all must be considered carefully when choosing a college or university, for the choice could have profound and long lasting effects on ones life. Sifting through all the information one has compiled on further schooling can be a nerve rack- ing, lengthy, and quite difficult process, but it is necessary that one go through it to find the right school. Comments Car- rie Haufschild, I must have spent hun- dreds of hours looking at different schools and writing application forms. Many of them I knew I would never attend, but I had to do it just go get an idea of what was available. One need not look farther than the mailbox to find information about a great number of colleges and universi- ties. Once they find out one is a High School Senior, one is flooded with pam- phlets and applications forms from uni- versities and colleges of both great renown and great obscurity. Though the large or famous schools are often con- ,----rv-1-v U sidered above these smaller, an exce lent college education can be obtaine at a small school. I couldn't believ how much college mail I got, reflect Andy John, I got info from some reall zany places like the Coptic University c Tibet, but some of the less famot schools are really good. For example UW-Milwaukee has one of the top thre Geology schools inthe nation. Some Seniors who are serious abot expensive colleges actually travel t them to get a closer look at the campu and faculty. These schools often als require lengthy essays as to the reaso a person should be able to attend th college. Remarks Tim Goltz, I had t write on the average six pages of essay to Columbia, Harvard, Yale and Prince ton, and over Christmas break, visite each and talked with professors fror them. The trials and tribulations of applyin to a college or university may not be fui but it is immeasurably important. Ui In the career resource center, senior Anc John lists the colleges of his choice. The new con puter terminal installed this year has proven to t a great benefit to all students. l2i Senior Cla: Officers - USU Julie Boucher, Vice Pres., Be' Tafoya, Sec.: Miss Brusko, Advisor. f2nd1 Jol Puchner, Treas.g Steve Topetzes, Pres. 1

elindib al? rf rm ce The senior year is the end of a performance, the cul- mination ofa dozen years of tedious work and learning. Each senior class is different from the ones that have preceded it. Not only is our class comprised of different individuals, but we also differ as a group. Physically, we are a smaller class than those before us, the first class to be affected by declining enrollment. What makes us different is the variety of experiences that we have had at Central. No other class can boast having endured Bye Bye Birdie, the attendance policy that required everything, and the disturbing behavior at the AFS assembly. Only we retain memories of the activ- ities that have made Brookfield Central High School the last three years. We have also changed idealistically. We are becoming more conservative than our predecessors. Taking part in quiet discussions of politics at the Ground Round is more appealing to us than participating in demonstra- tions against political actions. With all these changes, our aspirations have remained quite comparative. We look forward to a future in col- lege or a career. Some seniors see only as far as their graduation while others foresee Nobel Prizes. With the end of their high school life approaching, all seniors make plans for the future, but it is up to the individual to decide for himself what goals will be met. QU Studying for the upcoming semester exams, Jeff Myers takes advantage of the library's resources. The library provides an environ- ment that is ideal for studying. Q2j During an open study hall, senior Barb Christon studies her trigonometry for the next test. Seniors f 203

Being an officer is not all fun and gloryg there is a definite responsibility which must be lived up to. There are dances to be planned, meetings to be held, and ofcourse, the Lancer-Spartan Scholarship Fund. Steve Topetzes, Senior Class President, verbalizes his concerns, saying, Many people are aware of the scholarship, yet very few are willing to devote the time and the energy to fund this 'I type of grant. Also, graduation, weighs heavily upon the shoulders of these officers. They must plan this momentous event and bring it off with the expertise of past years. le M.
