The majority of last years gradu- ates 60c7o or 287 out of 434, went off to college. Last years graduates also re- ceived 127 scholarships.

Our graduates went to such places as the Colorado School of Mines, Colorado State University,Red Rocks, University of Colorado, and Uni- versity ot Northern Colorado, among oth- ers. The schools with the most Green Mountain High students attending were Colorado State University, and metro tied with 32 G.M.H.S. graduates, with University of Northern Colorado and Red Rocks right behind with 31 each. The students who Went to out ot state schools went to such schools as Boston Universi- ty, Southern Methodist University in Dal- las, University of Minneapolis, and the University of California at Santa Cruz. Of the students who didn't go to college after graduating, 30 went into trade schools or vocational schools. Fifteen went into the various armed forces. Of last years Seniors, 97 are currently tying down full time jobs, while 4 students are enrolled in apprenticeship programs. Before the students left, a lot of them were probably wondering if they were prepared for college. Rod Griffin, attend- ing Colorado School of Mines and major- ing in Science, felt that he was very well prepared in the areas of Language Arts, Social Studies and Math. ln the area of Science the preparation was adequate but could have been a little better.
