When the Social Security Administration announced a change in benefits that full-time students would receive, the effects filtered down to GHS. Basically, the administration, in attempting to balance the budget, had decided to cut not only the amount of money children of widows and of retired persons would get, but also decided that students graduating in June of 1982 and going to school in September had to be enrolled in a college by May 15,1982 in order to receive any benefits at all. driving back home, and doing homework. The teachers do not force students to do anything; instead, the students must rely on himself to get the work done. Barb also commented on the “faster pace.” Because professors do not take much time to work with individual students, there is less one-to-one contact with the staff, and students do not really get to know their teachers. The lecture system, she says, is “better in a way.” After a month in classes, Barb said she did not feel a part of GHS; she did not feel a part of CCFL; she simply felt alienated. Unfortunately, two members of the GHS’s Class of 1982 fell into that category. Both Barb Hennessy and Chris Prater had to curtail their senior year at GHS and get started in college to see the aid on which they had counted eliminated. Both enrolled at CCFL in February of 1982. Barb says that the long college day means going to class. Chris Prater is very happy he made the decision to start college early. He finds his studies quite difficult but well worth his time. Some of the courses he takes are Economics, English, Management, Sociology, and Health. Chris still finds time for his “high school friends.” Feature 9
