After twelve long years, freedom was finally obtained id you enioy getting up at six in the morning, going to school half-dead lafter that party you attended the night beforel, and walk- ing into your first bell classiust to discov- er that you had a massive research paper due ftnat counted half your gradel which you totally forgot about? No? Well, that was the way a basic seniors day started by the middle of the year, Now in comparison with other years of scnool, the senior year was no harder than any other school year. 'The work It means getting out of school and trying new things. might be a little harder, but l'm taking fewer classes and leaving school early, so all in all, the senior year is easier than others, expressed John Murrell.

Now PE - that's an upper. ln what other class could you socialize openly with your friends and not be forced to stay after school writing, 'll will not make passes at Johnny during class. lt also gave students time to take out their aggravation toward school, grades, and life on inanimate objects, lvlany a student had successfully hit home runs when picturing the baseball to be his social studies teacher's head. Yes, the senior year overflowed with highs and lows. But what did it mean to the basic senior? lt means getting out of school and trying new things, said Barbara Leopold.
