Sacramento CCTir7 hat ' s that? wds the ques- W tion most people asked upon hearing the words Girls State and Boys State Although they may have heard our representatives ' names (Robert Blackman, Sandeep Jauhar, and Jennifer Rinne) men- tioned on the morning announce- ments, very few fully understood what it was all about. Boys and Girls States were leader- ship conferences at the state capitol that taught representatives how the state government worked. Boys State urged the school representa- tives to adopt conservative stances on most political issues, said Jauhar. Blackman was more descriptive. We went to Sacramento State University for a week. They taught us things like election procedures and how the state is run at the city, county and state levels. But I agree with Sandeep that the proceedings had a conserva- tive air. One week after the boys departed from Sacramento State, approximate- ly 600 girls arrived and Girls State began. We created our own state governments, had elections, and made both real and imaginary laws so that we could learn about the legis- lative system, said Rinne. Yet, while learning about and actual- ly experiencing government pro- cesses was what Girls and Boys States were all about, our representatives felt they had gained the benefits of meeting new people and spending an enjoyable week in Sacramento. Rinne said, One of the things I vdll always remember is that 1 made twen- ty best friends in a week! if Two old friends, Jennifer Rinne and Sandeep jaufiar, laugh over a stupid mis- take on a layout. Both know a good joke when they see one. ,« %( IITH MH.H ■- BE INFORM 66 seniors

Seniors Face Tough Decisions kARRGH ' said many North Seniors when laced with the prospect of gradu- iition. Yes, it was finally unavoidable: that first shaky step into the real world. Seniors were forced to decide what to do with their lives and their plans were as varied as the Seniors themselves. Harvard? UCR? RCC? Which to choose? The scope and quality of colleges was enor- mous; but whatever one wanted to do, there was always at least one college that seemed to ' fit. ' 1 picked UCSD because of its loca- tion, said Lauren Stewart. I haven ' t really decided what to do academically. Other Seniors wanted to take it easy for a while, travel, or kick back and do nothing. For many, travelling to a different country was a broadening experience. You find yourself immersed in a totally new culture, said Steve Hanna, who planned to go to Europe. It ' s a great way to learn and grow, not from books, but from experience. Some Seniors planned on getting or hold- ing down a job for the summer, using the money for cars, apartments, or just for mov- ies and other entertainment. Many Seniors planned on entering the job market for good right after graduation. Why? I ' ve no reason to go to college after I graduate, said loe Gargery. What I mean to say is that I ' m going directly into metalworking. Whether it was college, travel or the job world, seniors strove toward many different great expectations. Thinking intently. Bob Blackman struggles to complete a UCR admissions application. Most students tilled out many such applications during the course of their senior year. •}(• 68 seniors Michdel D.
