IDI' h, senior year, the peak of one's high school career. What did it mean to the 404 members of Galesburg High School's class of 1986? Some enjoyed the position of top dog and the social prestige that it brought. Knowing the teachers and the ropes made life easier for seniors. Most agreed that the best part of being a senior was that they would soon be getting out. However, others weren't so sure. They suffered from senioritis, pre-college or pre-work anxieties, the rhetoric blues, and other syndromes which attacked the graduate-to-be. You may think you're being freed from every sweathole. . . as soon as the bell rings for the last time,', said senior John Riess, Wait 'til you get a job, brother. Senior Dawn McCarthy also took a less than optimistic view, You feel like you're just about to get out of prison, but only to take the keys into your own hands and lock yourself in again in college. There were bright spots in the year. Senior Jeannette Prentice noted, It seems like the brownie points you've earned in previous years have accumu- lated so that some teachers ignore occasional sleeping in class and tardiness. No teacher would consider asking you for a hall pass. According to senior Tim Savage, There was one and only one advantage to being a senior which seems to be a disadvantage to some. The advantage is new freedom. That's great except that some can't handle the responsibility that must accompany it. For senior Randy Gilbreath, the highlight of the year was that you could get out at noon. Other students commented that knowing how and when to skip classes was a major benefit of experience. On a more academic level, senior Dennis Stieren said, Teachers treat seniors on a higher level than the underclassmenf' Seniors like to think that they have earned this respect and perhaps they have. As senior Lisa Atwater put it, You know what is expected of yourselff' Seniors are famed for rejecting the concept of embarrassment. You can do whatever you want because in a short time you will never see these people again, senior Guy West pointed out. The senior year is a time for making many decisions. Senior Darrin Wilson found guidance in a good group of teachers and counselors. . . willing to help out a lot on college information. Other decisions faced the Senior Council. Commented Nancy Fross, senior class president, The decisions I've made this year are going to affect how people remember their senior year. Prom and graduation are major events in people's lives.',
