The construction of Cox South, Springfield Communi- ty Hospital, a new Smith-Glynn Callaway Clinic, a cancerf radiation treatment center, an outpatient surgery clinic, and two nursing homes had dubbed the area around Kickapoo the medical mile. Some seniors felt the changes were good. The new medical facilities are real progress for Springfield. The fact that Kickapoo is included in the area includes us in the progress, senior Vince Blubaugh said. But other students felt differently. I just think that it's like plopping Kickapoo right in the middle of Glen- stone, senior Elaine Oliver said. Whether for better or worse, many changes around the area took place. 3-'l,, W I ,K i 1 l I ff 1 , I 1 'J z Q Q k if K . ,a gi.

' I yes 6Of7o no 40f7o Independence Mom Im leaving now I ll be home sometime tonight. Thus began the night of many typical seniors. Restrictions were limited. Discipline was kept to a minimum. Independence was looming. I love being a senior. I have a lot more freedom, and my parents aren't so strict. They're treating me more like an adult, senior Melissa Dodd said. Many seniors became more financially independent by getting a job. I don't like the work itself that much, but I love the money it gives me. Now I can buy things for myself and don't have to depend on my mom and dad, senior Debbie Cybulski said. Seniors were almost ready to take a big step towards independence-leaving home and going away to college. Many were glad to graduate but were still a little scared. 'Tm looking forward to graduating, but I'm not looking forward to the responsibilities I'll have to face when I'm on my own. senior Rick Ampil said. just as the seniors themselves had matured since their freshman year, their independence grew as well.
