I feel happy and relieved about graduating. I never thought it would happen, but its finally here and I'm glad, commented Senior Diana Franklin. I really can't believe I'm finally going to graduate! I have had so much fun in high school and I'm sort of glad its over, but I'm really going to miss all my friends and all the great times we had together, remarked Senior Kelley Luman. After all the years I've looked forward to graduating, now the time is here and I feel reluctant about it. The idea of leaving all my friends and having to start over again bothers me, ex- pressed Senior Ricky Farias. Graduation, god what a relief! After four years of begging, we've finally made it and why? Togo toschool for four to six more years . . . seems ironic, but oh well, that's life, stated Senior Todd Herring. Many plan to continue their education at college, while others plan to go straight into the business world. Texas A M, Southwest Texas, Stephen F. Austin, U of H., and The University of Texas were the most popular colleges chosen to attend next fall. Graduation for me has been a mixture of emotions. I'm excited about going away to UT but, I'm really going to miss everyone, exclaimed Senior Beth Gillam. Seniors Lynne McLaren, Kay Martzand Sandy Lawrence gave a bash to close up the end of the year. I have enjoyed it. It's been the very busiest year of my life.
