Slumpitis Seniors have always been known for a severe disease they contract during their last year in high school. It is not a rare disease, in fact it is highly contagious, and large groups of people are apt to find themselves afflicted. The disease begins at the toes, with a feeling of numbness. As it spreads the afflicted slows down in vitality and movement. This stage can usually be seen by repeated tardiness to classes. The latter stages are the most apparent. The numbness has by this time spread all the way to the upper extremities. At pep rallies, football games, and all other school events the frozen mouth can not only be seen but also heard. This dreaded and deadly disease has been rightly named “Senior Slump.” But, Lake Braddock ' s class of ’76 was not the average senior class. They were a new breed of Bruins, and with no predecessors for comparison, no-one knew quite what to expect. Desiree Archambault: Yearbook 4; NHS 3, 4; Tri-Hi-Y 3; Drill Team 2, 3, 4.

Two hundred years before us, the colonists had celebrated their freedom; and then, on June 10, we, the Senior Class of 1976, did the same. Although our parents and teachers hadn’t been as tyrannical as King George III, we were still proclaiming our liberation! Most of us would soon be leaving home for the first time, and we would have to accept the very real responsibilities that went with “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” The glorious dreams that had filled the colonists minds filled our minds, too, and yet we had a little bit of doubt. We looked back into the past. . . were we ready to leave all this behind? As Brian Jacobeen puts his best foot forward, he displays how fancy footwork can get the job done right.
