For the last two years the Senior lockers have been known as the Senior Lounge. It wasn’t really handed to us, but you might say that we “adopted” it ourselves. The Student has tried over and over to get us a Lounge but they have failed, because there is just no room for a lounge. We don’t blame them but thank them for their attempts. Even some of our teachers have tried to get us a place but they didn’t get anywhere either. Thanks for trying! Seniors really need a place to go and talk about their troubles, do their homework, and just be together. Some may not realize it, but Seniors have a lot of prob- lems and things on their minds. Teachers are really against our “adopted” lounge and we can see their feelings. If they let us sit in the hall, then everybody will want to sit there. We really do understand their feelings but we wish they would look at our side too. Since this is our last year with our friends we need to be together. 13

This year the first symptom was noticed on September 2, 1975. On that date the general attitude was, “We're Seniors now-everybody • else move out of the way.” But the time came when everyone learned that being a Senior didn’t make a big difference. We were emphatically told NOT to write on lockers. We soon wrecked the illusion of some teachers that we were a quiet class. Senioritis was for several years considered to be a senior privilege but this year has proved otherwise. The entire student body seems to be under the impression that they, too, can do as they please. But the underclassmen are learning otherwise just as the seniors discov- ered that they didn’t hold certain prestige. Senioritis is highly contagious, although it does exist in lesser forms, Junioritis, Freshmanitis, etc., it reaches its peak during the Senior year. There is only one cure-graduation. The Class of’76 will be cured June 25, 1976. 15
