College Looms Ahead My senior year means relaxation! To Kris Baker her senior year was a time to kick back. But for many, it was not a time to relax, but a time to prepare for their college years. Enrollment into a University or JC required many preparations before admission was granted. One example was the College Board Tests. After three hours of filling in bubbles for the ACT, students walked out of the testing centers feeling like zombies. It wasn ' t that the test was hard, but your brain really felt drained afterwards, recalled Laurie Inaba. Seniors filled their schedules with classes like advanced English and math. These classes weren ' t really considered fun, but they looked good on the transcripts. The homework from these classes kept seniors busy for many hours in the evenings. The most time-consuming task was fill- ing out application forms. These ranged from college application with questions like If you could go back in time to meet some famous person, who would you like to meet? to scholarship forms that wanted to know how much a stu- dent ' s father had made from June to September of the previous year. Some of those questions didn ' t even pertain to going to college, commented Karen Christianson. A problem faced by many students was financing college. Aid from parents helped, but most parents couldn ' t af- ford the full amount. Good grades helped many seniors to get scholarships and grants, but those who weren ' t for- tunate enough to fit into these categories were forced to get part-time jobs. Being a senior can be a pain, but it ' s a once in a life time experience and it is worth every obstacle the adults can dig up, declared Amy Hao. Lorrie Schmidt Angie C. Scholta Mgr.
