Six Northwest students were recognized for their academic achievement on the PSAT! NMSQT. National Merit Scholar- ship semi finalists Travis Butler, Doug Finney, Andy Iohnson, Ia- son Lackey, Becky Romanchuck, and Ienny Tseng all placed in the top WZ: nationwide. High scores on these tests meant to students that they could be accepted to more competitive colleges and universities. Some of the greatest expecta- tions of students were set by fam- ilies and communities. Since approximately 80'Zv of Northwest students went on to college, the demands on students were made very hard. Most students were brought up with the idea that college was a mandatory part of education, because without it, there was no way to make mon- ey. If I didn't go to college, my parents would probably make me move out, said Debra Sissel. Although there were ways to make money without college, continuing an education helped a great deal in improving the chances of getting a well-paying job. Many parents offered money or material things as incentives if their child improved their grades or kept them at a certain level. Carrie Seltzer said she got money, but did only after a friend told her she should ask for it from her parents. As the year progressed, North- west students and organizations continually showed their ability and set high standards for them- selves. -by Bretton Zinger ,f Q Although there were ways to make money without college, continuing an education helped a great deal in improving the chances of getting a well- paying job.

Students use extra time Excellence-the state or condi- tion of superiority. Students spent many hours striving for this superiority, whether it was in athletics, drama, academic competition, grades, or music. In- volvement in activities was im- portant, but just being a small part of the whole was, for the most students, unfullfilling. just attending school for seven hours a day was only the begin- ning of scholastic involvement. To fill the rest of the day, stu- dents worked at jobs, participated in sports, volunteered in the com- munity, engaged in hobbies, and participated in activities. fMuch time and effort was spent to achieve high standards and meet personal goalsj Athletes practiced for hours ev- ery day. Musicians took lessons and perfected their skills. Dedi- cated students labored until late at night finishing homework, and students in various activities strove to make their work some- thing to be proud of. Why was this sense of superior- ity so coveted? The thrill of hearing one's name on the announcements was a small re- ward, but was a definite ego- booster. Many students felt that they had to commit themselves fully to their activity in order to feel a sense of personal achieve- ment. Others simply wanted to stand out from the crowd on col- lege applications. Whatever their motives, stu- dents felt obligated to measure up to personal and scholastic goals by excelling in their area of ' t t. m eres -by Gloria Niemi 16 Students use Extra Time Design by Bretton Zinger ...W - A ings K .V... ...... . ,p.- . ,uqi ri : V L- Q it A ,W West?
