SENIORS J ll A Dreaded Case Senioritis is The never ending quest for sleep, leisure, and money ' explained Scott Grenier. Z-ZZ-Z-Z!! Mike Sylvia quietly tries to nap during one of his classes. Sleep is one of the necessities for a senior with Senioritis. ay, after day, as time dragged on, the I M minutes seemed like hours, the hours S seemed like days, and the days seemed like years, constantly watching the hands of time as they endlessly ticked away. There was no way out, no place to run, and no where to hide from the dreaded case of SENIORITIS! The symptoms: laziness, procrastination, an overdose of excuses, and most of all, a very strange illness that occur only on days when there was a major exam or report due. It was only curable at the beach, in the mountains, or at any other great place to hang out. Senioritis was very easy to catch and pretty much came and went, depending on the classes. I didn ' t think that it would ever stop until after graduation, stated Tif- fany Stuller. Senioritis has plagued seniors as long as there has been students. Underclass stu- dents seem to be almost immune to the symtoms.

SENIORS Early Graduation I am going to RCC and then go to a four y ear college for a major in law, stated Kevin Meal. MIDTERM GRADS Front row: Stacie Reedy, and Kelly Seeber; second row: Micheal Weymouth, and Tom Go- mez. RING! The bell rang signaling the end m£ of the semester, but for some, this was C ' also the end of high school. For seven lucky students, graduation might not have been until June, but school was out on Feb- ruary 5th. Each student had his her own reasons for wanting to graduate at mid-term. Kelly Seeber stated, After eleven and a half years of school, I thought I deserved to get a head start on my career. Other reasons ranged from not having enough credits last year, to just wanting to get out of school early. Though their reasons for graduating at mid-term were different, for many, their plans were the same; stating college or get ting a job were in the near future for these students. I ' m going to college to get a start on my career, revealed Kevin Neal. Mo mat- ter what the future plans were, it was tough to graduate at mid-term. For some students this meant that they had spent four hours a day during the summer or spent evenings in the classroom. Others took extra classes during the year. Though it was tough, these seven students made it. Congratulations! by Joyce Madokoro MID TERM GRADS • 93
