'Beach fever' hits seniors as graduation approaches Senioritis can start as early as the second day ofthe graduate's final year, but it usually strikes full force mid-March when it is warm and sunny outside and everyone wants to go to the beach. Although it is incurable until graduation, it can be controlled. Since seniors wish to be exempt from exams, they cannot miss more than three days of school during the third quarter. This cuts down on the number of senior skip days and visits to the doctor. Symptoms of the disease are wide and varied. Harrassment to teachers is at a maximum at this time because seniors are having their last fling, so to speak, while sleeping during classes occurs frequently. In anticipation of weekends, seniors dress sloppily and get out of as many responsibilities as possible. ln fact, almost the whole week is spent preparing for the weekend's activities. Some juniors anticipate catching senioritis, while preregistering for their senior year. Many sign up for lighter class loads than they have had in the past years. The eligibility to utilize up to two periods off campus is popular with sen- iors. Especially after the class rank has been posted during third quarter, seniors just don't seem to work as diligently as they have in the past. One attitude that is adopted by some members ofthe senior class is: who cares. A. Making sure he is comfortable while taking one of Nlr. Thomas Jackson's Biology ll tests, senior Wesley Strange wears his overalls that proclaim it is Jackson's Test Day. B. Caught by senioritis, senior David Lands becomes lost in his own thoughts as his instructor's lecture goes in one ear and out the other. C. Although slightly uncomfort- able, senior Brad Crawford actively participates in class discussion. D. Either extremely sleepy or bored, senior Jerry Delova sneaks in a nap during his second period government class. E. While the jury from Mr. Don Edwards' fifth period government class attempts to vote on the current trial, senior Sherry Tunstall retrieves her shoe, which found its way into the boys' restroom. at f fi V VQ53'-'N' ky -:jjixc E N ' 1 f, K? 2 1 ' 1 5,0 tak..
