Senirfrs, inside' Banking Out Saou Wil! 15? Outside Banking in What is a Senior? To the underclassman a senior is witty, sophisticated, and infinitely intelligent. He seems to be the only one in school who knows where he is going, who has a purpose in life. He makes the honor roll more times than any other person, and best of all, he'll be out of school soon- er than anyone else. To the teacher the senior year is a time of change for the student. A senior begins to have a seriousness of pur- pose and a realization that if he doesnlt start working, he won't get anywhere. The senior has a better attitude to- ward study than any other person. In surveying himself, the senior tends to be critical. He begins to realize that he's actually not so smart as he thought he was. Instead of getting flustered, he gets down to business. He has more on his mind: grades, college, jobs, marriage, military training, and how he acted when he was an underclassman. He just can't seem to find enough time to get every- thing done. That's why he walks so determinedly with his eyes straight ahead. He's not a snob, he's thinking. To the world in general a senior is an in-between: he is not quite an adult, but surely he is not a child. He is like the Roman god Janus, able to look into both the past and the future. He is expected to choose his life's work welll, for the world of tomorrow is in the hands of the senior of today. 26 Left: The senior has a seriousness of purpose.
