374 Closing lin . Out of School For the last time, a sharp bell sounded. Anx- ious students poured out of classrooms, not only happy because they had taken their last finals, but because the long awaited last day of school was over. Students impatiently ran to their cars or buses and thought of summer plans ahead.

Eureka was really easy to use once l was taught how. lt helped me narrow down the choices a great deal, stated Julie Mur- phy. A list of scholarships was posted and updated throughout the year to inform stu- dents about avail- able money. Many of these required an essay written about various sub- iects. Finally, when acceptance and rejection letters ar- rived in the spring, many students l were paid off from all of their time and effort by being ac- cepted to their fa- vorite college.
