That's right, a fulfill- ment that not many receive during their en- tirelifetime. So many hours, so many frustra- tions, imdsu much respansibility are feelings shared by all whu are members of the Odys- sey staff. l've been asked, What ia it lilte to be the Editor-infChief'? My answer is, Fun I ltnow that might round crazy, but it'a the truth. I admit the position takes a lot of responsibility, time, and a ton of patience, but it's wurth it. I have an editorial board who were chosen by MR. JOHNSON and myself. All of them were chosen because of their capability and responsibility as a per- son. Sometimes it gets tough, but I've worlted hard for my positionfand I wouldn't give it up for anything in the world.

Seniors Celebrate Close of Year yggigue gan., Kandi Bryant shows enthusiasm at the Katella foot- ball game. hile seniors look forward to graduation, the list of prepara- tions and anxieties mounts. The SAT, Scholastic Aptitude Test, is an important preparation and also a worry among seniors. To take the test, a student had to wake up at 7:30 am to be at their chosenschool by 8:30, The students were tested on both math and English. It is a mind-boggling experience for seniors and usually a relief when completed. Some seniors took classes to prepare for this test. These gave students sample SAT tests to solve and help in preparing. V Another preparation for seniorsplanning to attend college was the applications sent to each school. Most college applications had to goth. The decision to concerned oth- very time con- were and appointments to .visit the References from teachers and counselors were sometimes required. All this planning and preparation frustrated and de- pressed seniors, After filling out forms and talking to counselors, seniors then had to worry about paying for their college.

Graduation was sadness for some but relief for others. Some seniors get upset because they do not wish to depart from their closest friends. Others are excited and can not wait to move on to other things. Whether sad or happy about leaving, all seniors are happy to have completed high school, and almost all will celebrate! page by Jayne Thomas In troduction I9
