IV i-IAT 'S TV By Ashley Orrell ave you ever stopped to think what happens to all those seniors when they graduate? What comes next? What is to follow? The guidance office conducts a poll each May surveying the plans of the senior class. The purpose of the poll is to compile statistics on each senior class. The results from the class of 1986 were typical of all graduating classes: 45'Zn entered a four year college, 25'Zn entered a community college or technical institute, while 18'Zn sought employment. Only 3'Zn entered the military, ZW entered trade schools, and 196 entered a two year college. 771 of the class was undecided at the time of the poll. The guidance department planned to poll this year's graduating class also. Just as last year, the majority of the students seem to have interests in four year colleges. Shelley Oberle said, I intend to grow up in my years at ASU. She believed college life would help her mature as well as provide her with further education. Lori Hutchins chose to go to Meredith because of it's location and size. She ex- pressed concern about bigger schools where it is hard to get individual attention. Sybil Rhodes planned to attend a four year college with the help of the academic scholarships she's received. FF LLOW? At least one West senior planed to go straight into her career. Deborah Freeman studied three years of Cosmetology at the Career Center. By finishing up my studying at the Ca- reer Center, I felt I had a headstart on my career, said Deborah. Many students were considering turning their part time jobs into full time careers after graduating. Jill Brandon planed to seek employment upon graduation. I work in sales. It's a lot of fun, al- though it doesn't pay much. I would like to continue to work at OPO full time after graduation. The pay will determine wheth- er I decide to continue there or look for another full time job, Jill stated. Steve Schmidlin was one of the seniors interested in the Armed Forces. Steve will be enlisting in the United States Marine Corps after graduation. The Marines are more disciplined than other services. They are also the smallest unit of the Armed Forces,', said Steve when asked why he chose that branch. Steve participated in the DEP or De- layed Entry Program. He has one year to report to basic training and had plans to report July 22, 1987. Each year more and more opportunities become available to the graduating class. As students continue to take the steps to- ward graduation each hopes he's made the right decision. l l Rob Harris WE WANT YOU: Sergeant F.C. Bittinger talks to Robert White. Sgt. Bittinger, the U.S. Army Re- cruiter for West, spent most of his time pointing out the benefits of the Army to high school students. FILING FOR MONEY: Sybil Rhodes spent a lot of freetime during her senior year in the guidance office applying for various scholarships. Sybil plans to con- tinue her education at Davidson College with hopes of financial aid through scholarships. ' TQ! . 5. Rob Harris Post High School f 69
