GRACE U DER PRESSURE With all the pressures, ac- tivities, and tasks a senior has to deal with seniors from other high schools would scream their heads off, meanwhile Cor- tez seniors. merely say, It's Casual. Many seniors concentrate on their academics, studying for the next government test or preparing to take the ACT or SAT college tests. Others are concentrating on sports, hop- ing they might receive a generous scholarship. Working, going to school, and being involved is the case for many seniors. lt's a busy schedule to follow, and getting used to an average of five to six hours of sleep a night isn't too hard. Other subjects that seniors were OFTEN reminded about wereg having their senior pic- tures taken, turning in a 2 x 3 black and white glossy into the yearbook staff, and also turning in a color photo for the front page senior surprise. With a New Attitude Grace Under Pressure wasn't hard. Why? Because we're Better Than Ever! 8 SENIOR LIFE SENIORQ ARE HOT!!

People were anxious to get involved with dress-up days to show off their wild new outfits. Football games are too cool .as shown by Bob Terpstra, senior, Brian Imboden and Craig Treese, juniors. HERE Diane Krietler when asked about school spirit assemblies stated: It was really up, the whole attitude was uplifting! Class participation was very enthusiastic as well. People were willing to make themselves look like fools because they knew it was fun. Many people also enjoyed just kicking back and watching all of the excitement.
