I ther Have you'inaturetl'? Most of you are probably wondering now that the ques- tion has been brought up, have you matured? When some seniors were in- terviewed, they said, they never thought about this question, but others just acted nonehalant and answered like it was an everyday question. Now wouldn't the average person mature greatly between their freshman and senior year? But. as usual theres some people who aron't normal, one of whom is Brian Corona. When asked if he felt he had matured, he stated, I really don't think I have, But at least I can drive now! Another original senior is Scott Linnborn. When asked the same question he replied. Naturally I havent matured at alll As a matter of face I've gotten more immature! Pain Katl-:us said. when asked about school, l'm really sick of school because the people are so immature, but when I was a freshman l liked it, When ques- tioned if she had changed in other ways she said, Yes, I've gotten respon- sible enough to get ei job and to handle at lleensef' Everybody changes in one way or an- other. Some people love school. some people loath it. Some people are more mature towards some subjecisg then again. some are not. Some people hope to do more than graduate, like Wendy Shortridge. Wendy proudly stated, l've matured a lot here at El Dorado, At first I just wanted to get through school, and now I want to do something good with my life. I want to get some- where! From the time you start high school to the time you finish. you went through a lot of changes. So many that you are a completely different person. Your cal reers changed and so did your goals and all for the better.

Price Individualisrr Expresses Itself hen looking about campus during lunchtime, the bright blue eyes and wavy strawberry-blond tresses of Tami Palmer stood out in the packed senior quad. Someone who doesn't try to appear different, but does anyway, marks the sign of a true individual. From childhood, Tami desired to express herself, but her shyness resricted this ambition. However, when she reached junior high school, she took her first art class and discovered a perfect talent. lt had opened doors to endless creativity which led to the formation of her own style. All artists have basic skills to draw, but few have these skills plus the ability to incorporate their person- ality into their work. Mr. Wright, who was in charge of El Dorado's art department, commented about Tami, She has a unique approach to solving art's problems. Her ability earned her high awards such as in the October Heritage Day Festival, she took firt place for her Andy Warhol painting and honorable mention for a restaurant sign. These awards brought satisfaction for her hard work. She also felt her grades were important, even if art took first priority. Her dad, a tremendous influence in her life, gave encouragement and support. Although incredibly busy, she generously helped with the design ol' the yearbook between her active schedule of a concessions job at Knott's Berry Farm and playing on the basketball team. Everything always happens at once, this year has been the greatest! she exclaimed. After graduation, Tami looked forward to college and the pursuit of a stetady graphic design job. Art has taught her under- standing and she remarked, Being an artist makes you see more, beyond what things appear to be. CD 'Q Seniors
