uniors Wisely rhey prepare It ' s September 17, 1988. For the freshmen. It is the first day of college. But the story didn ' t start here. It start- ed two years ago. At the beginning of their junior year, some students of the Class of 1988 couldn ' t wait for their last two years in high school to be over. Many others val- ued that time very much. Even though college was two years away, they real- ized it was important to begin preparing for It. Many students started out by decid- ing what they wanted to do with their futures. Most juniors weren ' t sure — many rarely were. I ' m not sure what I want to do after I graduate. It seems so far away, but I know I should start preparing for it now, said junior Kim LeDeux. Some juniors began to search for a college. This was done by sending away for view books from the colleges that were of interest to them. Reyes Corral said, I ' m looking for a Christian college with a good reputa- tion. I ' m not sure what I want to do after I graduate. It seems so far away, but I know I should start preparing now. — Kim LeDeux Much closer to home were the col- lege preparatory classes Walnut had to offer. There were Honors and AP (Ad- vanced Placement) courses to help ju- niors in their preparation for college. The AP and Honors courses are challenging, said junior Katie Calagna. They are giving me a taste of what col- lege will be like. I like the idea of AP courses giving me college credit too. Finally, there was the PSAT (Prelimi- nary Scholastic Aptitude Test), a shorter version of the SAT. The purpose of the test was to give students an idea of how much preparation they needed for the SAT. I think taking the PSAT as a junior is important. It gives us an idea of how we ' ll do on the ' real thing ' , said junior Cathy Perez. Many felt that beginning to prepare for college in their junior year would in- crease their chances of getting into a good college.
