Juniors The junior year had finally come upon the class of eighty- four. Many couldn ' t believe the next to the last year was finally here but it was surely felt. The pressures from demanding classes and responsibilities and the realization of post secondary school careers were anticipated. It was the year of tests namely the PSAT and the ASVAB. The PSAT was the test which quali- fied students for National Achievement and Merit Scholar- ships competition and also pre- pared students to take the SAT. There were mixed feelings about the PSAT among the juniors . . . it wasn ' t very hard but challeng- ing. However, most agreed the ASVAB was ... an unconven- tional method in testing your mental attitude and there was no way you could complete it.
