One of our own students here at Corona del Sol was chosen to go on the John McCain trip in Washington D.C. This lucky student was Nancy Hendricks. In order to get chosen to go she had to fill out an application which cov- achievements and her school involve- ment. She was then interviewed by a group of judges from the social studies department. Questions she was asked covered current events and why she wanted to go. She was also required to write an essay on what she thought she could learn in Washington D.C. While on the trip Nancy got to see the different Monuments. She saw the Senate and Congress in sessions and asked them questions.

On February 11th, 1987 at Cor- ona del Sol, BSUA had one of the clubs' most important activities of the whole school year. This special activity is called Career Day. This activity was started eight years ago by Mrs. Parham, the BSUA sponsor and also a teacher here at Corona del Sol. All of the BSUA clubs through- out the Tempe High School dis- trict met together as a group for this very special and important ac- tivity. There were Arizona digni- taries who were in attendance talk- ing to the high school students about what should be some of their educational goals and they discussed the students personal goals. The Black Student Union shows most of their dedication to these activities by spending time after school preparing for such special events. This career program seemed to help the BSUA mem- bers to grow both emotionally and academically. The Corona del students who had the pleasure of going to Sister City really felt that the whole trip was quite an experience. Pictured above are Greg Abbott, Kelly Torok, Brian Austin, and Jennifer Parrish. They were glad that they could share the exper- ience. - BSUA members from all of the Temple school district schools get together for a special Career Day, held here at Corona del Sol. 32 SISTER CITYXBSUAXA CADEMICS
