The program was simple: sign up at your counselors office and interview with Norma Ravnsborg, head of the program . Qualifiers interviewed for a career- oriented job in a top Colo- rado business. Dean Witter Stocks ,Aurora Mental Health Center, and local radio and television stations were some of those available. I feel the intemship program is an extraordinary opportunity to leam and have While most students worked to keep up with the crowd, a few worked to stand out from the rest. Channel 4 tv honored some of these by naming them Youth on the Move. Srs. Philip Lajoie and Cydney Rosenbaum received this title. They each received this honor for different accom- plishments. Phil was chosen mainly for his volunteer work with the Special Olympics. I am also an acolyte in my church at St. John's Cathe- dral, said Phil.

1 - v 4 T fl throwing weight around Wouldn't it be nice to have a 4.3 or maybe a 4.7 GPA? The district, for the first time, unofficially weighted all accelerated, college prep, and advanced placement courses. This meant that when figuring a student's unofficial GPA, an A in one of these classes would count as 5.0, a B would count as a 4.0, and so on. Since it was designed only to help, the weighted GPA and class rank was sent on college transcripts only by request. The district started the new system to give the students every advantage possible and to keep up with what the most Ii ow that students can use the weighted grading scale, Mr. Paul Helander keeps busy helping seniors like Valerie Wang check their class ranking. progressive schools in the nation are doing. It also en- couraged students to take challenging classes.

Car window signs with messages like this were seen in the rear windows of many cars around the area. They started out as wamings like Baby On Board, but they were soon used as a substitute for humorous bumper stickers. But by the time the phrases became more irreverant Ci.e. Grand- mother in Trunk or Mother-in-law in Trunk j, they quickly lost popularity. Perhaps it was because some thought warnings they were distracting to drivers, defeating their original purpose of safety. Or, perhaps they just became tacky.
