Senior Dilemma “Hi, Mrs. Cabana. Is there any special form I have to fill out before I apply to a college?” “Well, there are a few things you have to do. First of all you have to get a booklet which has the information on the SAT test. Inside the booklet there is a form which you have to fill out. Just turn to page 7 for the directions. Then send it to the College Board Admissions Testing Program along with your check for $7.25, but not after the registration date.” “Ts that all?” “Well, if you want to apply to a state school, you will have to ask Mrs. Smith for the application.” “Okay.” “If you are planning to apply for financial aid from any school you will need a P.C.S. form.” “A what?” “The P.C.S. form is the Parents’ Confidential Statement. Have your parents fill it out and return it to me by Friday.” Dennis Grube Jeffery Grushka “All right, thanks a lot.” “But wait, there is more. Now you will have to send along the transcript of your grades with some applications.” “T didn’t know that. What do I do?” “Get a release form from Mrs. Rubino. When you are filling it out, check ‘transcript’ if you are sending just your transcript. But if you want to send all your records with the transcript check ...” Almost every senior planning to attend college had this conversation with his counselor this year. Filling out 83 forms, spending a large amount of money on applications, and enduring the misery of waiting for that acceptance letter were just some of the hassles for the seniors applying to colleges. 1. The mass of literature and college applications can be devastating to the average college applicant. 2. Mrs. Mildred Cabana informs Lonnie Hall of the opportunities open to him in the military. 3. David Willard begins the tedious task of filing applica- tions. Allen Gumlaw “The only failure in life is the failure not to try again.” SENIORS 23

Senior Privilege? ? This year there were a few seniors who had a unique privilege. The special right they shared was having a locker in the annex but every class in the main building. Believe it or not, this perfect situation sometimes presented a few problems. For example, the five minute time allowance to travel from the annex to the main building proved to be a difficulty when the senior had fifteen books to carry. By the time he got out of the annex, the weight of the books would begin to put a great amount of pressure on his biceps. The collapse of these muscles when the senior was in the middle of State Street always resulted in every book falling to the ground. Occasionally, the senior may have forgotten a book in his locker. The process he had to go through to retrieve it was simple. He just had to leave the main building, walk to the annex, get to his locker, then return to the main building. But when the senior arrived at his class ten minutes late, the stare he received from his teacher was usually less than friendly. All of the seniors this year who were lucky enough to have every class in the main building and a locker in the annex should leave Classical feeling honored. May they never forget that some people always have all the luck. | 2 1. Talk about embarrassing moments for Pierre as Catellier! 2.
