Marching into an assembly was an event every senior looked forward to with ap- prehension. Denise Anderson rushed home after fourth period to catch up on her favorite soap operas. The price of all those rings was the ques- tion on most of the juniors' minds when Mr. Eady spoke to them. 12 Student Life

The Facts Of Life As people grow older, there are certain facts of life with which everyone must become acquainted. Some of these facts were taught by parents; others were learned in classes at school. With the beginning of another school year, seniors and juniors became wise to a few facts pertaining to them only. Early dismissal, eating first, and special parking areas were facts of the privileged aspect of seniors' lives. Seniors also had the opportunity to leave sixth period a few minutes before underclassmen. Marching into an assembly while everyone else stood was a special event to which most seniors looked forward. But a senior's life was not all privilege and no work. Applying for scholarships and for admission to colleges and tech schools were facts faced by many. Other seniors had to consider the careers they would enter when they graduated. Along with thoughts about the actual graduation ceremo- ny, seniors had to be sure that they had enough units, invitations and gowns had to be ordered, and final good- byes had to be said. Juniors were also confronted with many new facts con- cerning their lives. Josten's representative, Mr. Tom Eady, stressed the im- portance of a high school ring; and even with the tremen- dous gold prices, most juniors purchased them. Scholarships were also upon the minds of juniors as they took the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, better known as the PSAT. Those juniors who made a high score were asked to compete for scholarships. Funding the Junior-Senior was another of the responsi- bilities of juniors. A powder-puff football game was one event that increased the funds and at the same time provided loads of laughs. The male cheerleaders were watched more than the players on the field. The facts attained in high school and those received in the years that follow will always be enlightening and beneficial. Early dismissal provided Tim Clayton and Randy Cagle with a chance to earn some extra spending money by working in local businesses. Making a decision as to which ring to buy was tough for Colean Smith. High prices narrowed the choices only slightly. Seniors had five minutes to rush into the lunchroom and to be first to eat. After that it meant standing in a long line. Student Life 13
