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
