College Pre A mid the customary h1gl. school

activities , the seniors were con­cerned with college and career choices. With graduation quickly approaching, many seniors felt the pressures of making that final college or occupa­tional choice.

Many of the courses offered to seniors were devised to prepare them for "college life". Seniors ere faced with many academic responsibilities.

Pressure Among them were mind-boggling term papers , numerous book reviews, a re­quired semester of government, and a gr at deal of work from other classes. T rm papers for CP E nglish topped or f the list of the most "undesired" as­S! nments. Most seniors found writ­m term papers a long and difficult process. Jennifer D addario said, "We have no terms of endearment for term papers" .

Many felt independen e by having their own car. "You can go he rever you want, whenever you want,' stated Dan Belohlavy.

Along with the pleasures of having a car came several concerns. According to Sara Cease, "Panic sets in hen the gas gauge is below E and you have several miles to go."

The selection of senior auto varied from cars destined for the junk yard to envy inducing cruisemobile . Regardless of the make, model or year, nything was better than riding the bus.
