Seniors Plans for future? Do you plan on going to college? This is a resounding question constantly heard by seniors during their final high school year. The results of a survey of seniors show that many seniors are consider- ing continuing their education. A majority of students are planning to go to a junior college, such as Triton, while others plan on going away to a university. Other seniors plans included attending technical schools to learn a trade or increase secretarial skills, while others will look for immediate job placement. Attending college involves mak- ing many important decisions. The question of the financial source is the most common problem facing pro- spective college students. Another problem is moving away from family and friends. Although many students admitted they would miss them, they also liked the idea of being on their own Strangely enough, in general, students do not foresee sports playing a major role in their college life, outside of spectating. When asked What will be the major difference between high school and college? students replied that studying will be taken more seriously. Again, the students felt that they will experience more freedom. Whether the decision is made to continue their education, or become a full-time employee, plans for the future will soon be finalized and become a reality for the Class of 79. hasar i m ' ysKfSi n a j A muscular body with definition is what it takes to win a body builder ' s contest, as senior Mike Mungovan demonstrated at the Mr. Teenage Central America bodybuilding contest. 152
