This is cracking me up, from Santa Monica College’s 1989 course catalog:
As a member of the Associated Student board of directors, Jason Weisberger “feels like part of a family.” He is one of a dozen student government leaders who oversee a $300,000 budget, providing funding for clubs, and such student activities as Homecoming, annual festivals, and free campus concerts.
With the aid of Santa Monica College’s transfer center, Jason, a business management major with an eye on a legal career, plans to attend the University of Southern California. The overwhelming success of SMC’s transfer programs convinced the 17-year-old Santa Monica High School graduate that this was the community college for him.
Working with the college’s counselors, Jason was able to arrange a class schedule that would accommodate both his student government responsibilities and his job at a Beverly Hills law firm. He is studying psychology, accounting, and cinema.
While Jason has been away from his birthplace, Philadelphia, for most of his life, he still enjoys playing “lacrosse, a real East Coast game.” During his rare quiet moments he reads; he is fond of classics, Greek histories, and poetry, especially the work of Alfred Lord Tennyson.
I’m actually working on a book of poetry, so while the last line makes me cringe I have to say I guess 17 year old me was dead on.
