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
