Schoolls end brings many activities As school came to a close so did the wrap up of activities and club functions. At the end of last year the newly adopt- ed Student Senate founded the idea of a tutorial period. Both the Student Sen- ate and the tutorial period were a great success. N V ,, is The Student Senate was a way of keep- ing the general student body in close communication with the administration. The Senate consisted of one representa- tive from each third period class. The tutorial period was a time on Wednesday mornings to give clubs a time to meet. Due to the double lunch schedule adopted last year it was hard for clubs to meet all together at once. And because of after school sports activities and per- sonal conflicts it was hard for clubs to meet at 2:45. We are all really pleased with this arrangement and its affective- ness. Students could go to the clubs of their choice or get help from teachers in class they had trouble with, explained Frank Manzo. Students also found this time very re- warding for catching up on homework and missing assignments or staying in bed for an extra twenty minutes to catch up on lost sleep. Senior Leesa Grace and joan Sciortino enjoy a lunch catered by lVlcDonald's. An open campus during x lunch was one privilege still reserved for only seniors. Y ,R . ' el' af' 'iiillyvl Senior Joel Vlietstra, exhausted from all the finals, catches a nap in his langauge department aid class. Seniors found that taking aid was an easy way of obtaining five credits without worrying about tests, exams or homework. closing - 259

Graduation - beginning? Commencement means beginning. Some think it is inappropriate to call the culmination of high school the beginning . Yet, that is precisely what it is a new beginning. It is a new start, some may begin college, a career, a marriage. All begin a new phase of their lives. All feel a sense of accomplishment, some feel a sense of relief. It's a big relief, and I'm looking forward to the future,', said graduate Vinnie Navidi. Many seniors are looking forward to college, which is a new begin- ning. It's great to graduate. Pm glad to be moving on to college and other important life decisions, said graduate Mike Phipps. Graduation gives a sense of accomplishment to these leaders of tomorrow, said Ed Caudill. I feel good about graduating. It makes me feel like I did something important in my otherwise meaningless life. But with most seniors, it is viewed with astonishment and disbelief. IFS incredible. I never thought I'd do it, said graduate Denise Medina echoing the thoughts of other seniors. 1. Veronica Castillo assists Neil Kane with his mortarboard. Seniors received their caps and gowns the week before graduation. 2. Monica Seiber, Wendy Oviedo, Melinda Myers and Tamber Gaynes line up prior to Baccalaureate.
