Seniors Take The Final Steps We’ve survived a year of bewilderment, a year of preparation, a year of decisions . . . We’ve reached the top of our climb. This was our big year — our last year . . . We held our last class election; we attended our last Blair game; we took our last high school exam . . . This was a year of confusion and constant rush; yet we knew that these last events would be the ones we would always remember. The days were filled. Planning for others we learned to manage our time, our skills, and our interests. Some of us attempted part-time jobs and some of us set the alarm for 6 a.m. to finish our homework. We faced an increasing amount of responsibility and an increasing number of committee meetings. Wc also faced under- classmen on Senior Days . . . Teas, parties, dances, and games cascaded about us and mingled with our studies making our year a pleasant mixture of work and play . . . Feverishly wc filled in college and job application blanks, always wondering where wc would be next year . . . Wc struggled to keep our Senior Banquet and to have an off-campus prom, and wc struggled to keep our grades up. The climb—homework, exams, study . . . the finale— Senior Prom, June Week, Graduation . . . wc have arrived . . . now, the future! 28
