Seniors prepare to leave school From the start of the senior year those seniors planning on leaving Esperanza in june must start making plans. Meetings with counselors are scheduled. Fees for college en- trance exams are paid. Those exams are taken in the early hours of a Saturday morning, usually after a football game and the obligatory celebration or on the day after Winter Formal. Senior announcements are ordered. Seniors portraits are pur- chased. Colleges are selected. Applications are filled out. Acceptances or rejections are received in the mail. Caps and gowns are measured and ordered. Grad night payments are made. A lot of lasts are marked. The last Varsity football game. The last graduation practice. The last essay. The last physiol- ogy or chemistry test. The last readmit. The last days of high school. Graduation is an event viewed with mixed emotions. Some see it as an end to, what some call, the best years of our lives and they see it as an ending. Others see it as a beginning, an embarkation point to life. Ending or beginning, graduation is the culmination of the senior year and the public education which has prepared seniors to deal with their lives. t.

'82 recalls ,79 Graduation is a time for reflection and remember- ing. The seniors from the Class of '82 recalled, sometimes humiliatingly but mostly humorously, their freshman year. The seniors then seemed so big and all knowing. It was like they were grown-ups compared to us, said Mary Bohen. I remember I was in awe when Bob Vlood bumped into me. In fact all those guys of the class of ,79 made everyone's mouths open, remembered joy- zelle Santos. ASB President April Meads recalled, 'fIt seems like the Class of ,79 had so much spirit. They also looked like they had a lot of fun at school and with all the activitiesf, I I wonder if this year's freshmen view us as we saw the Class of ,7Q?,, wondered Tracy Lewis.
