Seniors Make It To The l-low does it feel to be a senior? What are your plans for next year? These are the questions every high school senior gets asked. The 1986 graduates were a fun-loving, academically oriented group of people. The senior class was led by: Jennifer Berry, President, Felicia Pensiero, Vice President, Jessica Mills, Secretary, Brenda Mack, Treasurer, and Tracy Frazzini, Hudson Johnston, Kristen Mikkelsen, Jennifer Sandler, and Katia Van Hulle, Senators. On the road to graduation, there were Senior Toga Day, the Prom, col- lege applications, AP finals, SAT's and the unavoidable saying goodbye to TOP! people never seen again. After four years of the same school stmosphere, seniors enbark into the real world, college, work, marriage, or career training. Many seniorsileave home, a new experience that brings much anxiety. But even with all the pressures of the future, the seniors found time to spend with friends and celebrate their last year in high school. This past year has been a period of maturation. Seniors became aware of their responsibilities to society in registering to vote, signing up for Selective Service as they turned 18, and taking precautions against drunk driving. Senioritis hit early in the year. E December various seniors exclaime distress over all the work they had t do. Several seniors hold down pa time jobs in addition to having a ft schedule, after school activigties, and social life. Senior Felicia Pensiero sun med it up by saying, l'm so busy the when l'm home for dinner, my famil treats me like a guest. Senior year is a turning point i everyon's life. There are many dec sions to make that will affect futur lives. But it is also a time to enjoy lif and have some fun. Seniors Melissa Parmely, Sydney Krogue, and'Tracy Maynard prove that seniors are just too cool! iPhoto: J. Walkerl 'i
