Climbing The Ladder The long road from fresh- man to senior had started to come to an end for seniors. Over the years students had grown and matured. The junior and senior years were a time to give grades and the future more thought, and this usually involved plans for a college educa- tion. In a random survey of seniors, the most memora- ble things in their freshman, sophomore, and juniors all the way up years were cited. As fresh- men, students looked up to the seniors with high hopes of one day being a part of the upperclassmen. The most frequent freshman- year answers were being picked on by other students, and, of course, looking up to the seniors. The most pop- ular sophomore answer was that students finally be- gan to fit in and feel com- fortable, getting class rings Freshman To Senior 2 7A and drivers’ licenses. In the junior year, the heat was on. The pressure of aca- demics weighed heavily. Also, juniors had their first prom to look forward to. By the time their senior year rolled around, students got a well-deserved break, but some would leave wishing they had more time in a school they once wanted out of so badly! IN THE MORNING the halls pro- vided a place to sit, talk and do homework. Paula Vanover and Sara Moody use this opportunity to do their homework before class. HAVING A SENIOR as a friend was an advantage. Seniors got their yearbooks a day before the under- classmen. Beth Holt got a sneak preview at the new yearbook with her friend Allison Furrow.

THERE WAS ALWAYS PLENTY to do in the morning before school. Senior Teddy Grigorieff spends his time wisely chatching up on some needed studying as Michelle Hess keeps him company. WHEN THE WEEKEND FINALLY COMES, students are over joyed. Jackie Hall and Kim Dudley can’t help but feel excited about the up- coming weekend activities. JOB OPPORTUNITIES play a large part of a juniors life, John Casteel takes time to read up on college material to make sure he has the proper education for his chosen ca- reer. BEFORE THE DAY IS COMPLETE- LY OVER, students have to have one last chat with each other to discuss the days’ gossip, and what each is giong to wear the next day. 2 6 ma Freshman To Senior

Auto-Graphs and Gar Notes A Unique Expreion of Sigh Why did students get per- sonalized license plates? Perhaps to display initials, names, profession, type of car, boyfriend or girlfriend, to memorize tags, or simply to confuse others. When Mi- chael Bailey was asked why he chose 1 USA 63 he replied, “It sounded good! The heartbeat of America is today’s old Chevro- let! Sarah Dudley said, “I wanted something original.” STYLE WITH FLAIR! Personalized license plates allowed anyone to display their interests, as shown here. YEARBOOK PHOTOGRAPHY ED- ITOR, Chris Reynolds sits in his black Celica displaying his license plate which stands for ‘Black Mag- ic’. It's a good thing Chris wasn't in the back of his car with the hatchback up on January 9, be- cause it was involved in an ac- cident in which the front end was damaged. Mrs. Wendy Gibson chose BREBIS as a private joke. BREBIS means ewes in French. Mrs. Janet Ham- mock's plate read JESH ME. JESH are her initials and she added ‘me’ to play on ‘just me.’ Mr. Doyle Kelly tagged his car SETI, mean- ing the Search for ExtraTer- restial Intelligence. Scott Nelson got RIPT OFF. When asked why, he stated, “I was disgusted with my car, 28 = CommuniPlates because I’d had numerous problems with it, and I felt like I had been cheated.” Ken Stoneman had BLACK DG for Led Zeppelin’s song “Black Dog.” Ken stated, “It's my favorite song and my tribute to Led Zeppelin.” Mrs. Judy Angle decided on RX-MATH, because her husband was a pharmacist and she taught math. Per- sonalized license plates showed individuality. a?
