SAT WORD OF THE DAY:  OPAQUE - not transparent; difficult to 
understand.  To help ensure privacy for their guests, most hotels 
furnish rooms with opaque window drapes.

SENIORS
All colleges require a copy of your final transcript.  If you have not 
yet done so, you must fill out a Transcript Request Form, write "FINAL 
TRANSCRIPT" across the top, and paper clip to it a white stamped 
business sized envelope addressed to the college with Berkeley High 
School as the return address.  Turn this in to Ms. Mellion in D173.

JUNIORS
Pick up the Junior Summer To Do List in the College/Career Center 
before the end of school.  It contains helpful hints and useful web 
sites so that you can work on college applications and deciding where 
to apply over the summer.  If you are planning to apply to any private 
colleges, also pick up the Senior Profile so that you can complete it 
over the summer.  The Senior Profile is not needed if you are only 
applying to UC's, Cal States or Community Colleges.
