Future plans made Thirty colleges recruited College Planning Days showed me what I was looking for in a col- lege and it helped me make final de- cisions about which college I wanted to attend, Chris Prince said. Thirty colleges from western states came to Lyman High and set up tables to give seniors and juniors information about their colleges. The fair was basically to answer questions of students on scholar- ships, classes and college life, said Counselor Ralph Erickson who orga- nized the program. Later seniors were polled about what they considered the most im- portant factors in selecting a college. The first concern students had was tuition and availability of scholar- ships to the institutions, followed by the factor as to whether or not the college was a two or four year school. The third factor that determined se- lection was the type of student body with extracurricular activities being fourth. The number of students en- rolled in the school was fifth and the faculty members of the school was sixth in consideration. Finally school rules were considered. Also in the poll, seniors chose Western Wyoming College, North- western Community College, and Weber State College as the top three choices for the 1986 seniors to at- tend. Andy Hewitt said he chose Northwestern Community College because, It is a good agricultural schoolf' Other reasons for these choices were the extracurricular ac- tivities available, the academic pro- grams provided, the close proximity to home and relatives, and scholar- ships offered. What do seniors expect to get out of college? Blaine Stanley expressed the sentiments of the majority of sen- iors when he said, I want a highly qualified education with the best fa- cilities around and up-to-date educa- tional techniques.

LHS students, faced with a long Wy- oming winter season, know better. A poll concerning winter activities showed that LHS students generally prefer skiing and snowmobiling with sledding, ice skating and tubing com- ing in third, fourth and fifth. Students liked to make their own fun by having snowball fights, build- ing snowmen and angels, making snow forts, busting snow drifts, and doing spins in cars and trucks. Also listed were crosscountry skiing, hay- rides, ice fishing tournaments, hunt- ing jackrabbits, four wheeling, three wheeling, slipping and sliding, bob- sledding, motorbiking, hockey-bob- bing, hockey, snow cave over nighters, snow sculpturing and foot- ball. One amazing winter phenomena occurred when school was closed be- cause of a blizzard and the buses couldn't get through the drifts of snow. Almost every student braved the outdoors and indulged in travers- ing impassable roads with sleds, snowmobiles and skiis. Winter is not a time of safety. Freshman Mark Powers related a story about how his family became separated and lost in a blizzard while hunting. Freshman Jamie Schmidt fell into a pond while playing hockey. Senior Wesley Ricks slid down a hill on his sled, hit a sagebrush and flew ten feet, breaking his sled into pieces. Freshman Deena Moretti to- talled her brand new snow machine by running into a tree. Sophomore Christy Youngberg blistered her face while skiing at Park West, erupting in blisters the size of half walnutsf' But LHS students still en- joyed the opportunities winter of- fered.
