These, as well as other events such as the prom and the banquet will no doubt stand out in our minds. There are also other memories we will have of our high school years, like the way we were when we first arrived, whether in freshman or sophomore year, and how we are now. Over the past three or four years we have grown both physically and, more important, mentally. Our lives have developed as a result of many factors. One of these factors was the constant guidance and help from our counselors: Miss Mary Corcoran and Mr. Gary Watson. They have helped us make decisions about ourselves, our careers and colleges. They have, in essence, aided us in the shaping of our futures. 20 Seniors As the song says “We’ve only just begun.” We have just started to form our lives. Through the past four years we have gone from immature adolescents to responsible adults. We have taken on such responsibilities as owning a car and having a job. Also, we have shown dependability when we successfully met college or scholarship application deadlines. These high school years were really important, as they laid the foundation for our futures and gave us a good head start on the road to adulthood. 1. Mr. Gary Watson: rated 1 by the senior class. 2. Even though we’re mature and responsible we still take time to have fun as Anna, Maria ... 3. ... Gail, Jeanne and Judy demonstrate.

A CU ABOVE Te Roo For some Classical seniors, graduation day will mark the reaching of a goal set three years ag o. This goal was to graduate with honors and in doing so receive a gold tassle. — There were three levels of honors: summa cum laude, magna cum laude and cum laude. For cum laude, seniors needed a grade point average between 3.25 and 3.5. Magna cum laude required averages from 3.5 to 3.75. Summa cum laude, the highest possible honor, was given to seniors with averages above 3.75. For these seniors, hard work and dedication has paid off. They are indeed a cut above the rest.
