Being a senior—it’s a challenge and an opportunity we all have a shot at. When you make it to your senior year, you are looked upon to set good examples for the underclassmen to follow. For all of us the struggle to be a senior is hard, but for some of us the struggle is even harder. Becoming a senior was one of the most trying challenges I faced in my high school career. Seniorship sounds a lot like citizenship, and in a way it's very much the same. As a senior, you should talk about the goal you want to accomplish. But anyone can talk: you must show yourself you can win this challenge. When I first started my high school years. I had a very negative attitude. I wanted to be in with the in crowd. and I was for a while, three years to be exact. Then I saw what great attitudes the seniors had and how happy they were to be seniors. I thought. Well if they can do it why can't I; I can win just like them. I can be a senior. I will be a senior. I look back now at the freshmen and all the other underclassmen and say to myself. Do they really know what a great feeling it is to be a senior? When graduation comes, your heart flutters, while butterflies are in your stomach. Will they ever feel it? Will they ever know the meaning of senior life? The only way they will never know is if they aren't up to a challenge. I mean a greater challenge than in any sport. Sure. I played basketball as a freshman. softball, as a sophomore and junior. 1 was also president of our poetry club and a member of GAA. but that was not enough. I wanted to be a senior and wear that black and gold gown. I took the challenge, and I won! Crystal Nicholson Enjoying I ho freedom of being able to leave 7th fieriod are |ohn Craft and Jeff Korb.

I would like to spotlight three seniors who have earned honors in areas not related directly to school. David Peura is a swimmer and the sole member of our swim team. Being the only member is rather unusual, but Dave was extremely good at his sport. Dave was the district runner-up in the back stroke his sophomore year and the district champion as a junior. In 1983. Dave won 6th place in the state for the 100 yard back stroke. When he is not swimming for the school. Dave swims for the YMCA. As of the end of 1983, Dave had swum 265 meets. He had received 134 first places. 45 second, and 26 thirds. He also swam at the YMCA National Competition in Ft. Lauderdale. Florida, for two consecutive years. Another senior is Cindy Applebee. Cindy was selected as one of 48 Ohio students to travel and perform throughout Europe as a part of the Ohio Honors Chorale. Cindy left in June. Although she had taken voice lessons for only four years. Cindy had become a fine singer and was an excellent pianist as well. Cindy planned to attend Miami University of Ohio to begin her college music career. Keith LaD. another senior, was chosen as the recipient of the (im Kanicki Outstanding Player Award and the Robert L. Wiese Memorial Scholarship. This award was given on the basis of football ability, scholastic achievement and community involvement. The award included a trophy and a $1000 scholarship. Not only was Keith honored by being chosen to receive this award, he was the first student from Ashtabula High School ever to receive it. Emily Stroud. Discussing her trip abroad with the choir director is Cindy Applebee. Cindy was chosen lo be one of 48 Ohio choir students to travel to Europe this summer. 8 Seniors Craft-Doyle
