The ones that haunt us every, year are still around, like the flu and colds.There are the new ones that have crept up on us behind our backs, like Herpes and A.I.D.S. Millions of dollars have been spent on research to help wipe out these killers. Each day medical science moves closer to a solution. The one dreaded illness we can't get rid of is still inflicting the young people of our schools, it's SENIORITIS and it's catchy, there is nothing anyone can do about it. Seniors are understandably total- ly burned-out with school. The tar- dy policy is just another little obstacle these demented beings have to face, and seniors are better at evading the hall patrol than the mbnitors are at catching the extra shifty ones. Few seniors concen- trate on honors courses, but the ones that do, have taken hold of their senses and are looking ahead toward college. For the seniors that have caught this horrible virus, it's blow-off city for them. Pm talking underwater basket weaving, advanced brick laying, playing the nose flute in marching band, and honors sleep therapy. Seniors are just plain tired of it, their brains are sloshed, fried, and totally veged out. If they werenlt walking around, most of them could be declared brain dead. The closer most of them get to graduation, the farther away they get from reality. Pm gonna get drafted? Far out man! I'rn going to Afghanistan to count the cooties on a camel's back? Far out man! My girlfriend has joined a convent and will take her vows tomorrow? Far out man! The prom is tomorrow and I've got fever blisters like I've been kissing a frog? Totally awesome! Twelfth graders get away with things that underclassmen lack the nerve to attempt. By the fourth year of high school seniors are ex- perts at skipping. Unless they're on the eight year graduation plan, they keep a delicate balance between coming to class often enough so that their teachers will remember their names and that they can remember what building their locker is in. Some get totally carried away and come to school every day. A good technique is the key to successful skipping. I've become an expert because I know just the right time to slide around the corner and slip into the bathroom. I'll bet Mr. Crist doesn't even know my name. Going to class only when absolutely necessary is the correct way to do things in my mind. Showing up for class only on test days is my philosophy, said a senior who demanded that his identity remain secret. Many high school kids have jobs after school. They want extra money to go out on dates, to buy clothes and records and to save up for a car. But for seniors there is another reason for working: plan- ning and saving for college. These good reasons cause an inevitable dilemma. Which is more impor- tant? School or work? One goes with the other, without school, a job will turn into a dead end. Without the things a job can provide, a stu- dent can turn into a deadhead. College is the goal for many. Its importance is drummed into their heads. They watch countless movies where the college boy gets the girl. They dream about how great it will all beg living away from home, the parties, the books, the whole salami. When they finally get there, it hits. They are freshmen again. They are at the bottom of the ladder all over again. All those headaches and they have to start over again. When I got to the university I thought 42 people would rush up to me and invite me to parties, help me with my homework, give me a cool place to live, introduce me to their brothers who looked like Rick Springfield, and everybody would want to be my friend. What did I get? A dorm room about the size of a booth at Mc Donaldls, a room- mate who always wears curlers and who needs a rake and shovel to keep her side of the room clean, three tests on the fourth day of class, and a big zit on the end of my nose the day I get here. I looked for- ward to this? The period kids spend in high school is the best time of their lives. School responsibilities are big but not as big as the problems of real life. In high school the major con- cerns are Friday's test and a date for the weekend. High school is for learning and for fun. Seniors claim to know more and to have more fun than anybody by far. Why? Because they are the Mighty Seniors.' by Terry Linn Seniors 1177
