LINDA YANCEY FORMS A RING for a candleholder in Mr. Dan Schroeder ' s welding class.

Juniors continue upward; s eniors end final phase Sixteen years old, a new driver ' s license, and in the thick of things at high school, sums up rather well a member of the junior class. This is the exciting year when older students begin to date. This is the year to which young men and women look forward. Ju¬ niors have the unique privi¬ lege of being able to drive themselves and their friends to the game every Friday night. They can at¬ tend their first formal dance without their parents hav¬ ing to chauffeur them around and even without 4 Theme their 10 p.m. curfew. Juniors also seem to make up the heart and soul of the school. Although not yet at the top, they have the comfort of knowing that they still have another year to give all of those activities another try next year. Juniors are stu¬ dents with mature outlooks, but they also enjoy all of the amenities that the high school has to offer. They are finally out of the under¬ classmen rank and are now into the groove of school spirit and enthusiasm. Many juniors begin their first job during this year. The responsibility of being a young adult finally begins to set in. The role of being an upperclassmen begins to take effect. Simply stated, the seniors are the students of vision. They have undergone all of the traumas and dramatics of four years at high school. They have ditched their last class, and they have danced their last dances. While the rest of the students will re¬ turn to the comfort of high school life next year, the se¬ niors will be cast into the working world. Whether it be college, the armed forces. or a steady job, their lives will be changed almost im¬ mediately upon the day they graduate. The seniors ' are the school leaders. They proudly display their class ' rings of 1986 or the ' 86 stitched into their lettermen jackets. This is their year for all of the laughter and tears to come out. Homes must be left, good-bye said to friends, and plans for the fu¬ ture made. They have had four years of a great school,; and four years of changes. They are now ready for yet another phase.
