Try a little harder to get it open, Willie! Willie Ames painting the senior block, Sat- urday September 6, 1986. Being a senior ... We sit in a new place in the gym. With a senior priv, we can leave school without asking permission. Susan Capelli says, There is more freedom around campus and the teachers trust you more and give you more responsi- bility. We paint the block, drive in the parade, play dead bug in the assembly, order graduation an- nouncements, and basically just have our way around school. Doug Sceirine observes that, Everybody moves out of your way when you walk down the hall. You can roll along and stick freshmen in lock- ers.” Whatever we do, excitement and expectation go along with the responsibility and fun of taking our places on the top rung of the EHS ladder.

BEING A JUNIOR Hey, it's like something totally awe- some to be a junior. It's like you've survived half of high school, and you're looking down that home- stretch. You might notice that ju- niors are kinda' laid back. That’s because they're preparing for their senior year. Don't think that being a junior is any piece of cake, though, because all of those Ph.D expert types say that it's the hardest year. Maybe the teachers decide that you've passed two years of school, so you can handle massive amounts of homework. Its kinda' unfair if you ask me! But besides the home- work, being a junior is pretty radi- cal- the best way to be, according to this objective” junior. Sophomores are rad, but freshman are fried, dude. Michael R. Smith, senior, says, I was looking at our freshman yearbook last night. That's funny, man. What do the underclassmen really think? Ginger Avery, a freshman, remarks, It's a little exciting, but a lot boring.” Ju- lie Amster, another freshman, has many thoughts about being new on campus. I find myself hurrying be- tween classes, and I am generally more unorganized than I was last year.” Many underclassmen notice a growing amount of homework, but less teacher supervision. Julie says, I notice I have more freedom. Sure, some people tease us, but there’s no principal looking after us every minute. Underclassmen don't enjoy being teased, but they do think they can look up to the older students for an example. They also enjoy the wider variety of op- portunities at the high school level. Julie says, I love school now. There are more places to fit in and more people care about my doing something to improve myself. I en- joy all the encouragement to get involved in what I'd like to try.” Hey, Laura Talley, Peter Harper, Krista Kump, Angie Bilbao, Michelle Mickelsen, Cindy Ashworth, Brian Glaser, Marie Alex- ander, Angie Elquist, Shawna Legarza, and Jennifer Smith.
