Stanton County High School - Trojan Yearbook (Johnson, KS)

Page 13 text:

As seniors began their last year in high school, the many important decisions they had to make forced them to think about their futures. A yearbook survey of the class of '85 revealed that 31 of the 39 seniors intended to continue their education after graduation. Fourteen planned to attend a four-year college, nine will enter a two-year college, and eight will enroll in a vo-tech school. Students' college preferences revealed a western Kansas bias. Dodge City Community College attracted the most stu- dents (six), and Hays attracted five. Five seniors intended to go to an out-of-state school. Eight students planned to work full time. The occupation attracting the most stu- dents was auto mechanics, mentioned by six people. Thir- ty of the 39 planned to leave Johnson, and five intended to leave Kansas for Oklahoma, Texas, or Colorado. In ten years the greatest number of students saw themselves in a rural setting. Seven believed they would be married within two years. — Copy by Terresa Johnson, portraits and photos by Michael Guido.
