Senior / Junior Section

1.	College Visits:  None

2.	MAY 1 Deadline- May 1 is the deadline to send in your Statement of  
Intent to register (SIR) to most colleges and universities.  For most  
schools, if you do not send in your SIR and your deposit (if required)  
by May 1, you will not be able to attend that school I the fall.  You  
may only send in a SIR to one school.  It is unethical to tell more

you have any questions at all, please stop by to see me at lunch or  
afterschool.
