Seniors Before departing this great school, all seniors must have achieved the required quarter hours in Science, Mathematics, English, and Social Studies. In the science field, one might have found very demanding Physics on his schedule. Or if one was into knowing about the body Hu- man Biology was an order. Trigo- nometry, Calculus, and Logic were the main Mathematics courses being taken. After the re- quired sixty hours of English, Shakespeare, or Trends In Con- temporary Literature might have been taken. For those who didn ' t prefer Literature, Occupational English, or Argumentation were good courses. For seniors want- ing to know more about their own and other countries as well. World Studies could be taken. For students who wanted to know a little about countries and how they related to each other, they might have taken Interna- tional Relations.

Seniors Being the President of the United States is a very tough job, and being president of a senior class isn ' t easy either. Margo Whatley had one of the most dif- ficult jobs a student could have. She had to make decisions for seniors that no other person would like to make. Margo said that her duties required a great deal of determination, patience, and understanding. When asked w hy she wanted to be a part of the senior council Margo replied that she loved and respected the class of eighty-three. She also said that after being with the sen- iors for so long she felt she knew what they wanted and what they deserved. Margo said, If I could change anything in the world it would have to be the teachers salaries. I would make them the highest paid individuals in the world. If it were not for the teachers, who lay the foundation of every hu- man being as far as learning is concerned, no other occupation would exist — someone has to teach .
