Seniors shift into Slump Typically indifferent to school work and activities, the Seniors developed a chronic case of slumpitis. Seniors grew more and more carefree as the year progressed. Assignments were put off to the last second, class-cutting became more frequent, and students took on a devil-may-care attitude toward high school. Spirit faltered after the Homecoming fiasco. Most Seniors were indignant at first about losing their rank as the most spirited class, but their resentment soon faded to indifference. Fewer and fewer Seniors bothered to show up for pep rallies, preferring to find entertainment elsewhere. Denied their first few privilege days, most Seniors felt no compunction at creating their own skip days. Grades and attendance became minor concerns, as many Seniors felt they were entitled to a year of freedom. Lax in their studies, the Seniors had other, more important concerns. Their final year of high school was their last fling before the tough days to follow on the job or at college. H. Gordon Muir — Soccer 1,2,3,4; Ski Club 2,3.4. Cynthia Kay Mumaw — Cindy: COF. 4.

Money matters graduate Economy troubles plagued everyone, but Seniors, especially, felt a money crunch. With all the expenses of the final year of high school. Seniors experienced the pain of an emply wallet. Expenses of clothing, parties, gas, and entertainment were intensified by the countless costs of graduating. Senior pictures, caps and gowns, and graduation announcements were customarily purchased by Seniors. Students planning to attend college had the added expenses of SAT's, Achievements, and college applications. College-bound Seniors were also forced to save for tuition and spending money. Students who didn't plan to go away to college scrimped and saved for that long-awaited apartment. Prospective yearbook buyers Cathy Bagrowski and Tara Price peck at the unfinished product. Dale A.
