Da velin g Sch ola rs Since most courses are avail- able at Glenn, few people conv sider having to travel a long dis- tance to get an education. But for students wanting vocational training or college credit, the Ca- reer Center is the place to be. At the Career Center, vocational courses of all types are offered to those not planning on going to college, or those just wanting ex- perience in a vocation while in high school. Said auto repair stu- dent Milton Williams, You get a lot of hands-on training and it's fun because you don't have to sit in a classroom all day. Child care student Karen Sutton also commented, The Career Cen- ter is for people who know what they are interested in and want to see what a real job in that field would be like. Along with endless vocational courses, the Career Center also offers Advanced Placement, or AP, courses. These are college level classes which, if passed with a satisfactory grade, count as freshman college credit. Me- lissa Ledbetter remarked, l'm taking AP English and AP Euro- pean history. lf you're college bound, these classes are super, um Academics -fm ez WM Q' , -sl tsrr at . , .,,..

Patrick Allen also said, There are really no disadvan- tages for me, except being late for extra-curricular activities. By taking the AP courses l have, I can practically enter college as a sophomore. Even though the traveling is a lot of trouble, the special courses offered at the Career Center are worth the time and effort for students who take them. Because of the Career Center, they have better prep- aration and knowledge of the real world and its surprises. i stat nfl 5 sim., petlxfiicxilill - -V . .-..Was....QA,,g,,,.,is..is .... iw -- 5 W. .m.W...c.E,, ...... .... , .,.,,.,.,.,.....,. sa A ,.....-.Imam .s-...Y ....a.....u..m.....,t.. ...uW..w ,... ,..i....a.f..,.s..

Tackling The Working Society Mom-xy! That one word cle- fines a common interest all Both' cats share. Whether putting gas in the car, eating junk food at McDonalds, or buying movie tickets, we all need money. In order to have spending money, most students find it necessary to resort to getting a job. Although most students find it hard to juggle schoolwork and a job and still have time for a so- cial life, it does have its advan- tages. It's a good experience because I've matured and I re- late better with other people, ex- plained Senior Roger Reinisch. The main complaint from the working bobcats is having very little time for extra curricular ac- tivities. Many times, when it's necessary for a student to work, they miss out on normal high school functions. Generally, most students find that the ad- vantage of having extra spend- ing money outweighs the disad- vntages. The extra spending money is a real help, said Ju- nior Michelle Maxey. For those of us not brave enough to tackle the working so- city, we must be content to be full-time students, and prepare ourselves for a lifetime of work- mg. -ri , ,Y W,,,, , in , Academics i Not again!
