put year in Evaluating four years at Marshall Seniors expressed conflicting viewpoints. When asked if the past four years were worthless and if there was an undercurrent of frustration in the Senior class, recurring attitudes and glaring differences were obvious. I can't say whether the fault lies in myself or the system. Computerized passes were designed to eliminate rampant skipping. I don't believe that in anyone's life the last four years have been worthless. The unity and spirit of the Senior class proved valuable to most upperclassmen. Advise the faculty to try and practice the profession they chose to enter instead of just babysitting us because they don't want to bother. Student criticism of teachers manifested itself in the Apathy Honor Society. Students should be made aware of alternatives to getting their sheepskins in the ordinary manner. Add Italian to the language classes. I have never been more involved in extra activities. Marshall sponsored organization ranging from sports to debating. Y.E.S. week would have added 125 courses to the curriculum. The past four years were not worthless — I grew up in them. The maturing process was forced to take place in high school; many personalities were made or broken in four years. The whole idea of apathy is so frightening because it is a stage in the general realization that school is an absurd thing. The atmosphere of Marshall was conducive to some true intellectual thought, but constructive criticism was rare. Dave Nagurncy, Alex Shang.

After comparing choices and debating over picks. Seniors selected their choices for such honored positions as Best In A Mess and Most Talkative . Questions arose as to the decision of which superlatives were included. The addition of Most Flirtatious and other such originals was subject to controversy. In a class moving away from tradition, the relevancy of the Senior Superlatives idea was doubtful. Of what value was a list of the most talked about Seniors, not necessarily having anything to do with the titles bestowed upon them? Super Seniors were named out of habit rather than an expressed desire. Most Likely to Succeed.

The dating system is a bad scene. Go out once with somebody and you're paired up for life. Students new to Marshall can't believe this system. Old so- cial barriers began to tumble; more girlsj called guys for dates, and group outings were more common. The whole Boyfriend-Girlfriend idea underwent fantastic change. Too many things are done privately, by certain cliques. The Senior clasyit-self was a clique. Class spirit was at an all time high. Mr. Broaddus is a good guy. Administrator-student relations improved, and a wajpier rapport with fa- J culty was appa nt. I care. My insides hurt with frustration. I feel wasted, used. Let's change it. I hav b much to learn.
