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.

Multiple choice question: Whflt has two red eyes, slumped slioulders, a glazed stare and a yawn- ing mouth? (a) Dean Martin with a hangover, (b) Cinderella after walk- ing home Irom the ball with one shoe missing or (c) a North High Senior after finals. If you answered (c), then you have probably seen some of these walking zombies around campus. A medical term has been given to their malady. Senior burnout, nodded Karri Bates Everybody gets it sometime by the end of their Senior year. Unlike mono or the flu, students have no desire to hide this illness. Every- where you go you hear someone say- ing how sick of school they are, said Linda Briggs. According to one knowledgeable senior who wished to remain anony- mous, Senior burnout occurs when the total hours of sleep you get is less than the total number of hours of homework assigned. The result is a total lack of interest in school. Oth- ers added that burn-out can be caused by things such as too many activities and having gone to the same school for four years. Surprisingly, seniors didn ' t regard burnout as a serious problem. Re- lax, laughed a senior. Burnout has a mysterious habit of going into re- mission over vacations! •• ' Staring off into space, lay Stanley gives his mind a break from the traumas of midterms. Burnout set in early for this senior. V ► Kevin D. Richardson Swim Team, BSR, Percussion Ensemble Cassie Rigney Karl S. Rimbach Tennis, North Star, Drama, Finertz Jennifer R.
