Senior! What's a senior? Someone taller than a freshman, wiser than a sophomore, and someone who has easier classes than a junior. True, but this year's seniors were unique in several ways. This second graduat- ing class of Alta began their high school careers in high schools— most spending their sophomore years at Jordan, Hillcrest. or Brighton High Schools. They are a combina- tion of 1970's and the beginning of the 1980's. Like seniors from all others schools, they felt some of the pressures and responsibilities of their last year of public schooling.

In the late spring, 1979, a special program was prepared for the en- tire studentbody. Everyone crowded into the Commons area, anxious to hear the re- sults of the studentbody elections. The stage opened to display an elaborate set of wicker and greenery. The program was also designed to say goodbye to Alta's first studentbody officers. A very formal atmosphere of suits and long dresses was created to make it a very spe- cial occasion. The audience waited in sus- pense as each former officer and cheer- leader announced his her replacement. The newly elected, suprised officers were escorted on stage, down a red carpet, to begin his her year of service. The Show Must Go On echoed the beginnings of a new tradition.

Plans for their future had to be faced: college, technical schools, employment—all choices to be explored during the senior year. Maintaining good grades: se- curing credits; ordering rings, an- nouncements, pictures, and year- books were opportunities of seniors to make their last year memorable. A senior is someone who soon would be going to his five-year class reunion and talking about the old days. A senior is a teenager and adult, all in one. who is looking for- ward to the future and looking back on the past twelve years of school.
