It IS true your senior year is filled with good times, fun. cLnd many memories, but the year can also be filled with sadness. Although most seniors act easy going and full of joy. many of them become somewhat sentimental. At the senior pep rally, seniors begin to realize their last year is upon them and is slowly coming to an end. The noise level ivas so loud it made your ears ring, beating in- side your head. The gym tvas packed full, but they still tried to cram Just one more person in- side the door. The thin and breathless air seemed to be filled with a strange mood of spirit and pride. All the classes had a large crowd, but the seniors dominated the population. This was no ordinary pep rally; it was one of uniqueness, a very special time to remember. It was the Senior Class pep rally. The one that was completely reserved for seniors, it was their moment. The pep rally began as all the others had, students were yelling and cheering and the rowdiness of the crowd filled up the gym- nasium. As the pep rally began to wind down so did the mood of the students. The time had come for the best part of the show, it was time for the senior song. All the seniors gathered on the floor, ready to listen to the mel- ody they had chosen to represent the memories of their school years. Rudy Hernandez lead the sentimental seniors in the song Friends. As the seniors shared many tears and a numerous amount of hugs. Any viewer could easily recognize the love and sadness that was filling the seniors ' s hearts. It was kind of fun being all together, but it was also very sad knowing that our time was lim- ited, ' ' Wayne Devora said. Many seniors became very emotional. ' It was the first time I had actually realized that our year would be over soon, Chris l arkle said. We will all hold the memory of the special pep rally close to us. After all, the mood affected eve- ryone. The senior pep rally was neat, but oh so sad. It made it clear to me that we had gone through twelve long years of love and togetherness, Bubba Ad- ams said. Although at graduation the seniors will say their final fare- well, their love and their friend- ships will never die! -£j® Sheila Riuas Patricia Ritchie Gctmaliel Riojas Dina Rihn Scott Riggins 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 k Senior Pep Rally by Julie Renick ... 146

The same way fashions and fads come and go. so do expressions. This is what makes being a teenager fun and will never be forgotten. WHAT YA TRYIfi ' TO SAY? This expression is always used in ref erence to a comeback. It takes place of the usual excuse me? or pardon, which means you really didn ' t care what they are saying. YOU ' RE TRIPPIN ' t Everyday this expresses the fact that someone is probably going crazy: they ve totally flipped their lid. Everyone uses this in place of saying. You ' ve messed up. CALL YOU TOUGH or I ' m tough is commonly used by Roxanne Schmid and Kristi Colly. It means that you are impressive and really outdid all the others. COLD DEFF CHILUIi ' was ever so popularly used by Steve Drzymal- la. It means that you are cool, tough, and totally awesome. Since it ' s a catchy saying it ' s quickly picked up by the student body. SCARED OF YOUt When someone does something outstanding and shows off. this saying is used to tell them to settle down and act like a normal hurmm being. YOU ' RE TOAST ' stood for the state of being totally out of control, gone off the wall or being knocked off your rocker. PARTY DUDE became popular with the famous hand sign. In sign language, it ac- tually means I love you. m.ff ' Jt f 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 8

It then raced straight up to your head where it took total control of your mind and body, filling it with crazy actions and mouements. These actions were controlled from utter nut- tiness whose sole purpose was to have all the fun that it could pos- sibly have had. Yes, you guessed right, it was none other than that fatal disease that would eventually dominate us all, it was senioritis. This disease was defined by all seni- ors as the disease that made you full of anxiety and total loss of all sanity. Actually, most seniors did look forward to being mesmer- ized by this strange illness. Senioritis is something I ' ve been waiting to have. Wanting everyone to know I ' m a senior as welt as being able to participate in all the activities. Having it was the best feeling anyone could ever have, Rudy Hernandez said. When did senioritis fall? There was no specific time when seni- oritis hit. It depended on the per- son and their state of mind. For many it seemed to come sooner than anyone had expected. ' My senioritis started at the end of my Junior year, ' ' Shawn Harris said, who was obviously struck early by the illness. Eventually, every senior ' s mind was captured by the sickness. Once stricken, they would never be the same, but then most of them didn ' t want to be. Just being a senior was the greatest feeling. It gave you an excuse for all your crazy ac- tions, ' ' Amy Berry said. CI Ar1een Pt rce SHEER EXCfTEMENT. It is true that some of us don ' t find the books we are asked to read in English very exciting, but some of us find them extremely boring. Obviously, the older you get the harder it is to get interested. Senior Rudy Hernandez displays this theory perfectly by resting through the story, ' Gulliver ' s Travels. that all seniors must read.
