Third Year Blues It has been said that Junior year was the most difficult year of years at Cardi- nal Newman. Most people considered their junior year to be the most fun re- gardless of the homework assigned. Junior Anne Titzel said Its been chal- lenging, but fun. It has been the hardest year so far. Junior Kris Maly didn ' t take one of the hardest classes, chemistry, which seemed to be the main pain in every juniors life. She said I think that my sophomore year was the hardest. Senior, Virginia Cleary commented, Ju- nior year was fun and challenging be- cause you were just one step away from being a senior. School seemed long and difficult and frustrating, but when the fourth quarter came the realization of be- coming seniors turned dreams into reali- ty. Joe Caforio, senior felt that it was his worst year at Newman, he admitted, My social life took presidence over studying. I ' ve learned that I should apply myself because that what ' s important as far as colleges are concerned. Kim McDaniel Carey McDyer Underclassmen , ' 127
