ExperiencingThe Best Ut Both Worlds President Rerraid Reaganfs onomic policy brought about a gigchange this year when some niers, had to be enrolled as ,full riefceliege sroaentsegoy Mayfteor ey would lose all their Social curity benefits.

There were six seniors rose only choice was to enroll at n Jacinto Junior College with a nimum of 12 hours. They were my Holt, Laurie Heldbreder, 'n Sheffield, Ellen Kolsto, Deb- ltlliveros, and David Pettus. Five of the students entered San cinto at mid-term.

Ka - don't want to go to college yet, but l really don't have any choice. As for the others, there were mixed emotions. Kolsto said, l felttlstitt? l was missing out on a lot of things duringsmy senior year. l don't go to homeroom because i have to go to college in the morning, so l didnt ever know what was going on. l couldn't vote for anything or par- ticipate in the blood drive. l didn't even know about ordering my graduation announcements, and l wasn't in homeroom to order my cap and gown. Oliveros explained her situation, 'I feel like l'm getting a step ahead of everybody else. l won't be as scared next year, plus l'll have those extra 12 hours. l love it ali, especially the freedom. lt's so different from high school. Holt found out that she had to enroll in college from Wetuski. She had read it in the newspaper earlier that week but did not think paper. Otiveros has dif- keepihg-ap with the staff whileeat- Davld Pettus searches through the card catalog in the library to find a book he needs for a college term it would affect her. The most dif- ficult thing for her was trying to make both schedules fit. She was in the middle of rehearsals for the gmusical so shewent to San Jacin- to in the mornings, then came here, then she went to rehearsals at night. lt was go, go, go. Everything was happening too fast. There was never any time for homework. Heidbreder did not find college life as hard as she had expected. l had pysched myself up that it was going to be really hard and l would never be able to keep up. But it's not that bad. The pro- fessors there were very understan- ding as to our situation of being high school-college students. Sheffield found that the courses were not as difficult as he had ex- pected, but boy, their tests were hard! Some colleges began to develop special schedules specifically for students needing to enroll to receive their benefits. There were two choices the students could make. Either they could finish their senior high courses at college and start their freshman courses while still in their senior year, or they could enroll at coilege for half a day and stay at high school for the other half. Oneadvantage to this would be that they would be competing with other students in the same predicament instead of with college sophomores and juniors. ln order for the students to enroll at a college, they needed the approval of their counselors and school principal. Frank Braden, principal, commented on the situation, I really respect all of them for trying to succeed in both college and high school, lt takes a lot of time and effort. But l'm behind them all therwayf' l Even though she atten- ds college in the morning, Ellen Kolsto still finds the time for working on her sec- tions of the yearbook. Kevin Sheffield is the only student to take his 12 hours at night. Here he is seen at the computer working on a program for his computer math class at San Jac. Seniors! Feature 119
