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.

Many freshmen have trouble finding their classes at first until they become familiar with the school. all over my forehead and face before football practice one day, senior Rusty Skinner said. For others, finding their classes was the problem. I walked into the Wrong classroom and sat down. I stayed for 15 minutes be- fore I realized that I was in the wrong class, one senior girl said. Some students were so scared that they had to be forced to go to school. I cried to my mom before I left for school on that first day and begged her not to make me go, senior Sharon Churchwell said.
