WJ Prep courses, counseling s help to plan the future With college prep courses and the recently added career center, the 35.5 -Y.: university YO 3:1 fiijf minded were 5' I constantly reminded of .-., H- college as the next step towards their career after high school. Even though I am not a senior, I have become more aware of college and how important my grades are. I also plan on taking a course that will prepare me for college, sophomore Heather Browne said. While underclassman had only begun to prepare for college, the more experienced seniors began to actually select colleges. Before their senior year, most of the seniors had already narrowed their college choices down to two or three schools and had basically finished their preparation, but others had no idea, senior Kevin Cantrell said. I 36 KNOW WHA rs WHAT Also preparing college-bound stu- dents for their days after high school were speech courses, computer classes and advanced placement courses, like English, biology, computer science, calculus and chemistry, which were specifically developed to assist students with their future college and career choices. I've taken a speech class because I think it will help a lot when I give oral presentations and speeches during college, junior Monika Freedman said. lt is teaching me how to get up in front of groups. While wading through the maze of college prep courses, SAT's, applica- tions and deadlines, students kept from drowning in the effort to be ready for and get into the college of their choice, finding aid in the life rafts of counselors and the college center. THE OLD COLLEGE TRY On career day, juniors familiarized them- selves with universities throughout the country. Representatives greeted the students with everything from pamphlets to bumper stickers. iPhoto by Staffl if .nzzsfee ..,. 4 . i il 1 its ,R as Q' ' Wm! it + Q? ' i 'N i 1

Cindy Russel's most embarrass- ing moment as a teacher occurred when she took her team to the state drill team competition. When seven months pregnant, she walked across the gym floor and fell flat on her face. Eric Schultz's former occupation as a diesel mechanic in the National Guard involved going out after disabled tanks and repairing them well enough to bring them back to the base. Johnny Ringo was the football star of his high school, voted most popular and most likely to succeed and was a National Merit Scholar. He now spends his free time playing golf instead of football. Barbara Schumann, the editor of her high school yearbook, graduated Sth out of a class of 650 students. 'I was not very interesting in high school. Iwas a greaser!
