On Top of the World Senior class rings are signs that the senior year is arriving Senior pictures are signs that the senior year is at hand Th. gratifying feeling of putting on the graduation cap and gown could not be overlooked last summer. For the first time, the 1985 graduating class was thought of as seniors. The feeling was like being on top of the world. It was like we now rule the school. Patti Spillane. senior, said. ■The first lime I felt like a senior was when I put on the cap and gown. Glenn Modlin. senior, said. The process of photographing the senior class took three days During those three days, talk of the up coming year bounded off the Cosmetology room ' s walls. Words like Prom. Graduation. Homecoming. and College were common. The 1985 graduating class now had the right to talk about those things. Each experience during the next year was to be stamped with the approval fvly senior year. The momentum could not be stopped — or could it? Curiosity slowed down the picture taking process a few times. A red button on the wall — what could be more mysterious? The curiosity of some members of the senior class led to pushing it. Each time the power was cut off from the room. What was supposed to take fifteen minutes took thirty minutes to an hour. The memories of those three summer days in 1984 will decorate mantles and walls for years to come. Shocked with the idea of becoming a senior.
