You Better Watch Out! Oh no! There's one coming just our way, quick, hide! Into that locker ... Phew, that was a close call. We're lucky he didn't see us. No, he wasn't the princi- pal of the school. Much worse, in fact, he was a senior. Why did we hide from him? You mean you don't know? Well, I'd better teach you a thing or two if you want to survive the rest of your days at Classical High School. Lesson number one: Seniors are cruel to underclassmen, es- pecially freshmen, like ourselves. They have waited three long years to become the rulers of the school and now they are going to enjoy their newly found position ot power to the fullest. Complete- ly forgetting that they too were once members of our ranks, they have no sympathy for us. They shove us around, give us wrong directions, invade our lunch ta- bles, and command us when they feel it is necessary. They make us do practically everyth- ing but bow down in their pres- ence. | hear that they are plan- ning to implement that policy soon. The sophomores receive slightly better treatment. They're allowed to eat their lunch in peace. The juniors get the best treatment of all. Can you believe some seniors actually talk to them in polite, conversing tones? I'll tell you, I knew high school was going to be rough, but this is worse than I ever imagined! Well, now that you know what 20 Seniors seniors do, you must learn how to avoid them. This brings me to les- son number two: recognizing a senior. This is much easier than it may seem. Just because there are 448 of them in a school of 1,300 students does not mean you'll have trouble picking them out of the crowd. What you must do is study their faces, which forever after will be associated with ter- ror in your heart! A dead gi- veaway is the senior hats. You know, those white sailor hats with the cute ‘82’ on them? If you ever see one bobbing along among all the other heads in the hallway, run! Of course, the easiest way to know if a senior is heading in your direction is to observe all the other underclassmen scurry- ing and hiding in rooms and lockers. Others may be ducking behind corners. If there is still some doubt in your mind, though, just look down the hall. If you see a person walking tall, with her head held hi gh, and an air of self-confidence and pride surrounds her, you can be cer- tain she is a senior. And boy, then you had better watch out! 1. “Listen, girl, ’'m a senior, and don’t you forget it!” commands Claudette Dinnall.2.

An- other school lunch down the drain,” sighs Christine Fisher. 4. “Hey, you’re cute,” says Mike Contakis as he gives the female photographer the eye. 5.

KEEEEKHKLLLLBEEELLGEEHLHLGLLLLELELELLLLGEELELSESS The Special Ones Throughout our years at Classical, there was a select group of students who set their sights higher than the others. The ( ) aspirations of these people motivated them to study more G If [els EOULID, than was required. They did not take the easy road. No, instead, they accepted the challenge to excel, even though it meant making sacrifices. These seniors graduated with hon- Scott Anderson M arte Lanzillo ors and received a gold tassle as a momento of their hard Karen Annis Karen Lindblad work. Because of their sincere dedication, this page has been Rosemary Ashe Patricia Long devoted to them to give them the recognition they deserve - and have earned.
