4 Deanna Aaron Finally, We Made lf! What's a senior? Well, according to the dictionary 'A senior is a member of a graduating class. The 1983 seniors weren't just members of a class, but people who had good times and sad. Having good times, seniors would go out with friends to Putt-putt, the mall, movies or Mr. Gattis. They also would go to the prom, have 'Senior Skip Day and, of course, go to graduation. The senior class didn't consist of all fun and games, there was hard work in being a senior. For example, passing courses like Government, Dawn Adams lim Adams Tommy Aguirre Debra Akins Rose-Ann Aleman Bambi Altman Louis Alvarez Vance Andress Shawn Andrukates SV, -ff elim? , .Q Free Enterprise, and English and hop- ing to get exempt from exams wor- ried many. Another hard task was taking college entrance exams like the SAT and ACT. When asked how it felt to be a senior, Bunnie Shannon replied, 'Be- ing a senior to me is having all of the advantages. lt also is great thinking everything is going the way I want it to be. lt is a rewarding effort. Being a senior was also a sad ex- perience for some. Leaving friends was the hardest thing for everyone because after graduation people left for good like Sandi Hudson who is planning a new career in the Air Force. Sandi said, uI'm looking for- ward to the days after high school because l already know what to dot l'm joining the Air Force as a career. l Leaving school and heading out to the real world either to college or to a job which would begin a new lifg was frightening for some. Daw i Garraway said, Going out in the world is really going to be scary because all the responsibility is mine. Seniors were people leaving part of their lives and looking forward to new ones.

DEDID Think about it-almost 2,000 in- dividuals in one building. New students, old students, new staff members, old staff members were all thrown together. Each individual had his own space, his own idea. As the year progressed, the new students were no lon er llnew. They were beginning to blend in the melting pot of E.H.S. Being accepted into a new group was a concern for these students-in the beginning. New staff members were also learning the ways of the school. lt was just as difficult for new teachers, aides, and secretaries as it was for new students to accept the routines and hectic lifestyle of school. To all these individuals, progress was defined as belonging with a cer- tain group-Ellison, where 'Everybody is Somebody. AT the Westwood Pep ralley, students listen to the football players talk. THE win- ners of the Halloween costume contest are Lisa Van Every, Yvonne Saenz, and Carl Delgado. DURING the Killeen game, everyone including parents came out to support the Eagles to a 41-8 victory. f' .QQ- i s , I. ..,, L .,,, ,rr Ill .' fb , People 19
