Senior Traditions Although the class of ' 86 missed our on many traditions such as getting out a week earlier than the underclassmen, an off period, and career day, rhe class of ' 86 has definitely made the best of what ' s left. There is one senior tradition that is abused every year by underclassmen-leaving for lunch, There is norhing worse rhan being with all your friends at lunch and an underclassman sitting beside us, said John Doe, senior. And for all who don ' t know him, he ' s most seniors ' opi- nion of an underclassman leaving for lunch. And for those underclassmen who think they got away with leaving, you really didn ' t because the seniors scoffed on you! Anorher senior tradition is selling magazines. Senior Lisa Mayfield sold rhe most magazines this year, with all pro- ceeds going roward prom. The sentimental traditions ore senior dress-up day, singing rhe school song at the last pep rally, prom, ordering gradua- tion invitations and cops and gowns, rhe senior breakfast, exchanging senior memory books, senior ploy, filling our college applications, senior skip day, senioriris, research paper, gerring married in government, having classes wirh only seniors, homecoming, being foorball captain, and be- ing able to tule the school with pride and dignity.

This ourrageous personally belongs ro senior class presidenr Rand Chandler. Orher seniors think of Rand as very ourrageous. Senior David Merriman thinks he is Tory ' s besr friend. ' ' Lawrence Erskin thinks about chinkems while Alisa Guerranr thinks of him as being one wild and crazy guy. Chandler believes rhor rhe class of ' 86 gets along real well, kinda like the class of ' 83. He said that the seniors are nor in as many little groups as seniors in rhe pasr. ' ' He also said, We have some really crazy people in our class. Some of his associares go on wild camping safaris on rhe weekends. He believes rhar this pracrice is complerely unconstitutional and those campers should be apprehended immediately. He also thinks of the class of ' 86 as opportunists; as soon as someone ' s parenral units hir rhe rood It ' s party time. As far as style, he said the class of ' 86 hod a dignified one. For example, rhe 1985 powderpuff performance very original. Rand was Ocrober Teen of rhe Month. He is also a member of Student Council, Germon Club, Spanish Club, French Club, Paramedical Club, JETS, Yearbook, Newspaper, Phorogrophy, Cosmerology, Thespians, DAPA, DGD, G5L, Peer Counseling, Math Club, Proctorian Scholars Club, Compurer Club, chess club, cross country, and was proud Goror geek.

Chandler hopes nexr year ' s senior class stays out of trouble, and jail, like rhe upsranding future inhabitants of our beautiful city, the class of ' 86. He also has reason to believe that it will be upsetting for rhe class of ' 86 to leave our high school. I am sure we will all miss all of rhose endless hours of frivolity in our wonderful school.

Showing his affection for underclassmen, Rand gives sophomore Suzanne Stegoll a friendly hug At the some time, he proudly waves the American flag. Seniors 61
