You guessed it . . . typing college applications. Ahh yes, it is the moment of truth when seniors must reflect upon their last four years. act ' s and SAT ' s, Achievements, passable grade point averages . . . These words and more become a standard part of every college-bound senior ' s vocabulary. Applications may also include teacher recommenda- tions, interviews, and the dreaded essays. Time is of the essence to every senior. Between socializing and shop- ping, the average senior has very little time for such trivial paperwork as applications. With mom ' s help, how- ever, students somehow manage to complete the necessary data by deadline. This goes without saying 84 SENIORS by M- Dunn and C. Lamarche that Federal Express does a boom- ing business around deadline time. For those seniors who have no idea what ' s going on, counselors, deans and teachers are all willing to aid the flailing senior. Jeanette Behm in the career center can also help to guide a lost soul in the right direction. Along with the paperwork, a number of seniors take to the road each year as part of the application process. A college visit enables the student to get a real feel for the school as well as a look at the social life, opposite sex factor, and of course, the state of the academia. When at last the applications are in the mail, a senior can sit back, rest, and look forward to participat- ing in senior life; at least until the decision comes in . . . Judgment Day. After a grueling weekend of college socidl activity, prospective Miami of Ohio stu- dents Cathy Lamarche and Suzann Barger prepare to leave. photo by Doug N»?i;!off Filling out applications seems to be never- ending homework for most seniors.

L unch Break How Do We Spend It? When it comes to Seaholm sen- iors, McDonald ' s was the most popular place for lunch. Other favorite haunts included Burger King, local sandwich shops such as Richard and Reis or Marty ' s Cookie Company, and students ' own homes. In outpolling Burger King by a 7- 3 margin, some McDonald ' s backers expressed their sentiments in clear, blunt terms. I like McDonald ' s because Burger King ' s food is dis- gusting, said senior Jenny Smith. I like McDonald ' s for its Chicken McNuggets and Burger King for its double-cheeseburgers — I don ' t know, I guess I ' d have to say (I prefer) Burger King, was senior Paul May ' s less decisive comment. Reasons for choosing a particular place to go to eat included types of by L, Ament and S. Dixon food, the price, the convenience of reaching it, and the atmo- sphere. Favorite foods included Chicken McNuggets, double - cheeseburgers, shakes, and the traditional burger and fries. Amusing experiences while out to lunch included running out of gas and stealing the Snoopy signs displayed at McDonald ' s. When asked if they prefer eating out to eating at Seaholm, the unanimous response was Yes, and the reasons included the food and the chance to get out of school for an hour.
