Looking to the Future jodi Reigle Ronald Renfroe Suzette Rensch Kimberly Rewis Kimberly Richards Debra Ripple Pamela Ritter Deborah Roberts Debra Robinson ' Iohn Rodgers XA Teresa Roof David Rosario Everyone needs a time to find out about life and what they want from it, a time to explore the alternative paths that lead into the future, a time to discover their strengths and weaknesses. For many North students, this time is their junior year. An abundance of testing is available at the third year of high school to help the student make in- telligent and productive decisions about himself and his future. Testing usually begins with the PSAT, Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test. This serves as a trial run for the SAT or ACT, which are taken by college bound students during their senior year. The PSAT rates the student in the academic areas of English and mathematics and can serve as a predictor of future academic success. Also available is the ASVAB, Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test. This evaluates a student's strengths and weaknesses in more oc- cupational related fields such as elec- tronics, mechanics, general tech- nology, and clerical administration. The State of Florida has mandated assessment testing on basic com- munication and mathematic skills. Each part of these tests is very impor- tant to the Class of 1983, as that is the year that demonstrated profi- ciency in all skills will be necessary if one is to be awarded a high school diploma. The Guidance Department at North remains a very busy place for enlightening, counseling, and guiding juniors as they search for the right answers for their personal tomor- rows. Mrs. Nancy DeShazo and Ms. Terry Wieland, North's Occupational Specialists, keep up to date on course offerings at Lee Tech, current job op- portunities in the community and county, trade and intern programs, and a hot-line to the local Armed Forces Recruiters. Mrs. Wayles Kimpland, junior Guidance Counselor, spends much of her time discussing with students their academic problems and in- terests. An hour spent with this lady can be very profitable in insuring you are making satisfactory progress towards graduation and adequately preparing for your future. As juniors begin to dream of and plan for their life after high school, they find themselves conferring more often with the people in Guidance and taking test, after test. It's time well spent if it helps them prepare for the rest of their lives. juniors X 147
