RAWING AND PAINTING CLASSES MAY LEAD TO CAREERS EVOTED ARTISTS CREATE FOR FOUR YEARS | Would you voluntarily take the same class for four years? Seniors, Robert Jared and Alicia Zack, have taken Miss Mary Weingart ' s Draw ing and Painting class since their freshman year. Why? I ' m planning on going to an art college like the Fashion Institute of Design Merchandising and maybe being a mur- alist or majoring in graphic design, said Alicia. Other than class projects, Rob Jared explains the uses of his artistic talent, We got to compete in the city art con- test at the Riverside Plaza, painted the background scenery for the drama de - partment, and last year, we painted the backdrop for graduation. Miss Weingart felt a special close- ness toward these students, I ' ve en- joyed having them in class for so long and seeing their talents grow over the last few years. by Kns Cassias INSPIRED BY NATURE.

TRENUOUS SCHEDULES MADE IT HARD TO SURVIVE THE SENIOR YEAR ENIORS TACKLE STRES WORKING DILIGENTLY AFTER SCHOOL, Sheri Danner sacrifices social time to com- plete her research paper. My senior year has been really hard so far, because I ' m worried about not graduating or getting enough credits, commented Sheri Danner with intensity. There was, at times, overwhelming tension and relentless pressure on seniors as they struggled to meet deadlines and fulfill such rit- uals as filling out college applications and en- trance exams. Working after school involved extra time. Volumes of reading assignments, papers due, and everyday tasks caused some senior stress while desperately trying to keep up their grades in order to graduate. Students with advanced classes were un- der even more strain to excel, partly be- cause it was expected of them. A strenu- ous, no let up , studying schedule was common to American Government stu- dents, b ecause they knew it was either pass or take the course over in night school. Seniors tend to relax their studying habits thinking that they can breeze through the year, then they realize the possibilities of failing and ,. aren ' t prepared. Senioritus also seems to become contagious, said Mr. Wyper, government v ' teacher « Many seniors studied extra hours and put forth more effort P and quality into their work. The headaches grew rapid as sen- iors anticipated the S.A.T. tests, but when they were all ' ' over and done with, in reflec- tion, it wasn ' t as bad as what they expected. There seems to be so much more pressure and responsibility in school now that I ' m a senior, plus there ' s little time for a social life, stated Chris Morgan. There was a painful extended process of completing a year that meant seniors will part to go their separate ways to fulfill the goals and dreams they ' ve been planning and saving for at least these past four years. That was definitely the most stressful part of it all. by Karen Anderson Donald Matejka George Mayberry Allen McPeak Dana McCrory SENIORS STRESS Y
