if X .qt-11-9 if nuff 5 pocl-sing it up finol preporotions Book by book, the locker was slowly unloaded. Reminders of friends and fun were pulled from the door and packed away. The accumu- lation of a year's worth of trash was dumped into the nearest trashcan for if none could be found, on the floorj. For the first time since August, the locker was clean. Final locker clean out was one of the steps involved in breaking away from school. Returning text- books, saying goodbye to old teach- ers, and eating one last meal in the cafeteria were met with mixed reac- tions throughout the senior class. While some looked upon this with sadness, Brian Dail said, I'm just happy to get out. Some seniors had been weaning themselves from school for a while. They had gradually spent less and less time in school. Off-campus lunch and the freedom to leave early for those without eighth period clas- ses added to the amount of time spent away from school. Skipping school altogether, or just a few clas- ses, were common, if illegal, prac- tices. Others, in an attempt to make the most of their last year here, could be seen all over campus, tak- ing an active part in the functioning of the school. School support by the seniors has been really high this year. We want to give them a lot to remember us by next year, said Da- vid Kersey. Heading into the last month of the last semester was for many the signaling of a major span of their lives coming to an end. Vlfhen the fi- nal bell rang on their last day of high school, they left knowing that there was no turning back.
