Sides Senior Ana Escarpentor enjoys the experience of studying In the US. Photo by K. Sides another country. Her main reason for becoming an exchange student in the US, though, was to learn English. To Ana, life in the US proved to be very different from life in Spain. The school system is different in Spain. The students stay in the same room while the teachers change. They are also more strict. The student teacher relations are more relaxed here, and the work is easier, commented Ana. Ana’s favorite subjects were math and science. Her plans after high school included going to college. By L. Sturm, Senior Class Editor 172 Seniors

Still Tops, But. . . Exemptions Lost “It’s unfairlThey only started senior exemptions two years ago, and now we can't have them,” said Senior Richard Rennison. Although this was not the only change in education under House Bill 72, it was the most disappointing for seniors. Senior exemptions began in May 1983, and were used by the classes of '83 and '84. However, this was not the only privilege lost. Seniors could no longer enjoy traditional Senior Skip Days. In the past, the skip days were the Friday before and the Monday after prom. It was not a total loss, though, since the seniors were allowed to take early exams and had the last few days off. Senior Julie Johnson said, I think Seniors should be allowed certain privileges, but I realize the school cannot do anything about it. I wish we still had the privileges, though.” Seniors still had the privilege of off-campus lunch. It's great that we can still go out to lunch, because it's a relief from the monotony of school.” said Senior Mike Trost. Although most Seniors were disappointed, others such as Jeff Glasgow said. I don't really mind.” Senior Hoopsters R. James, T. Luce, T. Kite, J. Keene, J. Glasgow, M. Middaugh and M. Beckor demonstrate senior awesomeness. Their pep rally tradition changed this year from camouflage to surgeon groons. Photo by V. Pal Senior Jool Mathiason gets help as he tries to finish his lunch with Senior Pat Brogan. Off-campus lunch is ono of the few senior privileges untouched by H.B. 72. Seniors were also given a skip day Monday after prom. Photo by K. Sides Craw, Chris Crisostomo, Ron Croteau.
