College Advisor's Bulletin

SAT WORD OF THE DAY: DESTITUTE – extremely poor; lacking resources or 
the means of subsistence; completely impoverished.  After Hurricane 
Katrina, many people lost their homes, all their possessions and their 
jobs and became destitute.

SENIORS
LOOKING FOR A FULL-TIME JOB?  Veriflo is hiring production workers in 
manufacturing operations in Pt. Richmond.  No experience necessary. 
Starting salary is $10.18 per hour plus union benefits.  For more 
information and to obtain an application, e-mail vfomail at parker.com.  
Specify the job title “Production Worker” in the subject line.

Please remember to let the teachers who wrote your recommendations know 
what school you will be attending in the fall.

CSF SEALBEARERS – The cords and tassels for graduation are here.  Pick 
yours up from Ms. Harris in the College/Career Center.

If you are getting below a C in any of your classes and are planning to 
attend a four year college in the fall, you MUST contact the college to 
discuss this.  All colleges will receive a copy of your final 
transcript.  By contacting the college and discussing your options with 
them, you may be able to prevent your admission from being rescinded.  
Please see me if you would like to discuss your grades or what to say 
to the college.

SCHOLARSHIPS

basis of scholastic achievement, financial need, citizenship, 
leadership, service and employment. Parent must be a member of the 
Berkeley Chamber of Commerce. $1,000.  Deadline:  June 15.

FOR JUNIORS
If you are considering applying to private school and haven’t yet asked 
teachers if they would be willing to write you a recommendation in the 
fall, please do so before you leave school for the summer.

  Don’t forget to save your graded papers after school is over.  Some 
private colleges ask for them as part of the application process.

The UC pamphlet, Introducing the University, has arrived.  Pick yours 
up in the College Center to get information on each UC campus, 
including admissions, majors, financial aid and important contact 
information.
