Apathy ranks high: It happens every year and 1979 was no exception. Senioritis hit! Senior classrooms became emptier and homework assignments just couldn ' t seem to make it home. After school there was more activity, and getting rowdy was one of the more common ways for seniors to keep their sanity as the final weeks approached. Senioritis is usually associated with apathy and laziness. It can be quite serious. Roughly twenty students dropped out this year, so apparently for them senioritis was a problem. According to senior advisor, Mr. Robert Wilson, What concerns me even more than the students who quit school are those who stay in school only to find themselves short by one credit on check out day. Unfortunately, many students can ' t afford to let senioritis happen to them. Whether the students have fond memories of Lincoln or not, certainly all will remember what it was like to have senioritis. When asked, What is senioritis? the following memorable responses were produced . . During a journalism workshop at Iowa State University, Kathy Dennis and Emily Edwards catch a sudden outburst of senioritis and as a result they attempt the great escape! Senioritis begins with fits of amnesia. Books, pencils, homework, and an occasional class or two may be forgotten. In the final stage, the senior is frequently found running through the streets in joyful abandon. Senioritis is missing Blenderman ' s class fifteen days. i L senioritis spreads As the senior class of 1979 struggles through the trials of preparing for adulthood, it is imperative that a certain amount of energy be released in the form of unrelentless rowdiness. Inasmuch as attaining a high grade point average is mandatory, it becomes difficult to be a scholar when plagued with senioritis. Senioritis? It ' s the sick feeling you get in your stomach when you receive the letter of acceptance from the college to which you ' ve applied. It is when you ' ve gotten too old to remember what you learned in junior high. To the soph ' s it is a mystery; to the juniors it is a goal; but to the seniors, it is the only way to go! Senioritis is a display of the following symptoms: ( 1 ) the urge to drive an automobile (2) lack of enth usiasm in school lunches (3) change in wart or mole (4) desire to watch Family Feud and As the World Turns (5) Innability to find classrooms. It is beating the faculty, sophs and juniors at pep assembly cheering contests. It is burping in the hall and not caring who hears. It is the intense longing to leave the books you dropped in the snow, lying there. Not even having fun in lunch. What is WHAT???? 1 Senioritis is the feeling that school is a waste of time. You just want to get out and get it over with. Senioritis? I think it is a strange tropical flower!? Senioritis is a feeling full of spirit ... It is a feeling of happiness and accomplishment. Yet, senioritis can be a feeling of sadness, too. Leaving all the memories and old friends behind is often hard because Lincoln has been such a part of our lives — and Abe has been good to us. Senioritis, on the whole, is a great feeling and being a senior is the best there is. Ml
