Seniors join forces Ending a lifetime of friendships and memories couldn't be forgotten by a simple hug or relinquished by the drop of a tear. Memories last forever no matter how situations change. Unfor- tunately, it is true that nothing stays the same. Separate lives for seniors began even before graduation. Many had joined the worlc force and met new friends. Some seniors joined the Armed Services such as Jeff Quintal, John Ludwig, and Glen Cole. All have their reasons, but Quintal said that he joined because he felt it was a good way to begin someoneis life. Seniors such as Herb Smith, Anamary Smith, and David Lulca- sialc won ROTC scholarships to West Point, Stanford, and Notre Dame respectively. Smith commented that going away to school is scary, but she thinks that she won't have any problems adjusting. A few senior girls planned on getting married including Debbie Lamb and Donna Chavez. Seniors, however, that were not too adventurous remained right where they were in North Orange County.iSenior Anne Thom- as planned on going to Fullerton Junior College and working at Hughes Aircraft. Senior Ron Taylor had been accepted to Cal State Fullerton. Taylor said that staying right where he is seems to be the best for him now. 1.
