Even though the school was united in spirit, pride, and involvement, the seniors felt slightly separated. In their last year in high school, the seniors faced experiences that were new and challenging. Seniors this year, unlike many of the underclassmen, took either advanced classes or more office practice or elective courses. Senior Judy Rooney commented, Seniors have worked hard in their underclassmen years to get all their necessary courses in and use their senior year for the remainder of classes they wish to take. Some seniors that did get all their requirements taken care of had a hard time finding other interesting classes. There are not many appealing classes to choose from senior Lynette Kadoi reflected. Seniors this year realized the expense of graduating. Most of the money was used for graduation announcements and senior pictures as well as for renting caps and gowns. One senior commented, The cost of graduating seems ridiculous, especially when you think of the upcoming cost of going to college. The money needed for graduation essentials prompted some students into looking for jobs. A iob provided a new experience, not to mention extra money in the pocket. Going to apply for iobs and being interviewed is very hard for someone as shy as I am, said Tawnya Cross. Different experiences separated the seniors from the other classes. Seniors realized their lives were rapidly changing. My Raiendra Patel Kevin Pekarek Michelle Pellett Deanna Penn if 'Q 6 seniors lr

gm Some students this year had a complaint with the counseling department. Being a senior, for some, involved filling out college applliccnitionsg scholarship applications, and financial aid reports Some students felt one of the drawbacks of the counseling department was the lack of information the counselor gave the students. Patty Nisonger commented on the counseling department by saying, The only way we can find out what's new for us to fill out is by stopping in his office every day. Counselor James Lamm commented on the subject, too, saying, the two biggest problems were not hav- ing enough time to do what he needs to do and the lack of interest on the students' part. Mr. Lamm felt the information would get to the students if the bulle- tin was read in every class during second period. As far as the forms go, some students felt that the forms were a hassle, but others thought if a student really wanted to go to college or get a scholarship, they should be prepared to put out the effort. Dorita Aurre's opinion was, lf one is truly interested in the scholarships and college, this should just be considered one of the steps to his success. Others felt that the forms sometimes were almost impossible to fill out. Theresa Lantsberger felt, The FAF form is the most ridiculous paper I have ever attempted to fill out. Applications and forms not only confused the seniors but also took a long time to complete. Those that were interested enough finished everything and got it in on time.
