Among the Hustle of Final Year, Seniors Should I go to a big school or a small school? What will it cost? Where will I get the money? Should I just get a job and not go to college? Bewildered by numerous momentous decisions, a senior found he was not alone in his difficulties. Life, however went on around the senior. It was the last football game, the last test, the last of the last. In the meantime, seniors made the most of what was left. They headed every organization. Even inactive classmates were often given jobs. After Christmas, seniors came back to 108 days until the next vacation. Now they knew what the term “senior slump'’ meant. Although looking on with scorn as underclassmen, they now accepted the fact that this slump could hit them too. “One hundred eight days until vacation, and I’m so tired. I’ll never make it.” But they did make it. With the prospect of only one semester left, and the remembrance of last semester grades, seniors dug in again and began to study. Although giving the appearance of scorn, underclassmen looked on seniors with some admiration although vowing not to be like them. Admiration was inspired by seniors always getting the best — the first rows in the booster Club section at games, the first chairs in band, the middle section of the auditorium, the most attention. As the seniors looked back, they remembered their class play on February 3, the Prom on May 11, Honors Convocation on May 23, and Commencement on May 29. Now it's all over. Each senior separated; each member went his individual way; yet all are drawn together in memory as the Class of 1962.
