Make ’em or break ’em” McLean!! They really didn ' t know what to expect when they walked into Elder McLean ' s class¬ room on that first day of school as Seniors. They had heard about those MONSTER tests and LONG memory verses. But what had only once been Junior im agination was now transformed into Senior realization. Need extra credit? Try McLean ' s simple little diet! You only need to drink eight glass¬ es of water a day (and stand in line for the bathroom!), sleep eight hours a night, do deep breathing exercises, do physical exer¬ cises half an hour each day, take a cold shower every morning, limit sweets and eat in moderation. Easy! Anyone can handle that—but for four weeks??! Another catastrophic event was McLean ' s first major test given to the Seniors early in September. Phrases like IT WAS SIX PAGES LONG! and ” know I ' m failing Senior Bible were bemoaned by the Seniors throughtout the day. I loved it! Mike McDonald stated. I got a ' 62!! Elder McLean hasn ' t just been the Senior Bible teacher to our school, but he ' s also been a friend and given counsel when some¬ body needed it . . . not only Seniors, but to the entire school. He sums it all up by deliver¬ ing his teaching philosophy: Without God, you can ' t really do much of anything! —A. Wang McLean ' s diet 5

we are—finally! We still can ' t believe it. Now when we see Freshmen lounge, we wonder to ourselves, We did that? Never! The weeks continute to slide through our fingers-- the last T.A.P. tests (hurray!), the last banquets, Senior trips, College Days, the FINAL finals, and . . GRADUATION. Are you ready for us, world? The very first day at academy, we just knew we weren ' t going to make it through the week, much less the entire four years. The halls were SO big! There certainly was no way we could have classes in every classroom. As Sophomores, there were more people in our class— even though we sensed some missing from the year before. Biology and Geometry fascinated us (well, most of us . . . okay, some of us!)—as did our Worley Bible class! We were finally growing up a little, at least! Summer slipped in, and jobs kept us frantic until we found ourselves back on campus—this time as UPPERCLASSMEN!! More people were missing, but at the same time, our class had suddenly doubled in size. Chemistrysponishalgebroll grabbed us and put us back in our places, stripped—temporarily, at least—of the silent awe we had in our newfound importance. The year moved on through the Junior Senior Banquet and into graduation. Somehow graduation had never really mattered so much until we were really a part of it. When we marched on Sabbath, Mr. Koehn ' s words from the day before were still ringing in ur ears, For all intents and purposes, as you leave your Bible Docs final, you are Seniors. Well, here we are . . .what do you think? Did you do well in shaping our lives? Turn the fol¬ lowing pages. Look closely at our class. Look into our eyes and you will see your future— the future of our nation, the future of our church. Hey, Seniors ... WE MADE ITU! -C. Oellrich
