Senior Priviledges are .. . Hare Today and When BidS was first estab- Jifiiwrf CTiorsyiad very limited j5ftviledges x ‘owever as the schogi-dt?veloped, so did the pri- 'vlledges. Yet, presently it seems that these special “rights of Se- niors” are once again on the de- cline. In years past, Seniors were al- lowed to get in the front of the cafeteria line. Up until this year, Seniors were able to exempt their final nine weeks exams if they had a high enough grade average or less than a certain amount of absences. But now, the policy has gotten more strict. Other considerations are made to determine if a Senior may exempt. Some of these in- clude participation in clubs or or- ganizations as a sign of participa- tion in school — sponsored activities. Besides that, the privi- ledge of exam exemption is no longer limited to Seniors. Given the same guidelines, the juniors and the sophomores are also eli- gible for exemption. According to Mrs. Ann Brown, one of our Math teachers, “The require- ments for Senior exemption are stiffer than they wexe-dasny ar, which 1 consi e o bette “ As forx5fh r privileges that no longer ajxist, up tlmil a few years ago, SenTtfrs were able to leave school up to two hours earlier than other students. Now, due to the Education Im- provement Act of South Caroli- na, they aren’t allowed to leave until one hour before the dis- missal of school. How do the Se- niors feel about this? It seems like most of them don’t really seem to mind, as long as they can still be dismissed a little earli- er than the rest. For instance, Lori Richards is noted for say- ing, “I like getting out early be- cause 1 have time to go home and rest some befoi -4-gp to work.” y The Seni viledtje mat do exist seem to b afJpreciated by almost everyone. To the seniors it is something extra to make Goon Tomorrow their year even more special. To the juniors and sophomores, it’s something to look forward to. For starters, Seniors usually sit in chairs on the gym floor during the assemblies while the under- classmen are seated on the bleachers. Then there’s the Se- nior Lounge where only Seniors are allowed during their Study hall to “eat, drink, and be mer ry.” Looking back on the increase of, and then the decrease of, Se- nior priviledges, here’s a little advice from a friend: You’d bet- ter take advantage of what’s of- fered. It may very well be “hare today” and “goon tomorrow.” (MICHELE GOSSETT) YES. I’VE GOT THE MUNCH1ES.

For Senior Athletes . Time Was Running O Once again a group of Ath- letes were faced with an inevita- ble fact time was running out. It was their senior year and final chance to make their mark in Broome atheletics. There were mixed feelings about the good old days of non- chalant competition coming to an end. To some of them, the mere thought of it ending was sad and frightening. One of the athletes that was on the optimis- tic side of things was Finnly Fain. He said, “All I can do is make the best out of it since this is my senior year.” Others seniors had different viws of their last year, such as Kevin Lee, who was on the more pessimistic side of things. His quote was, “I hate it, because you work all those years to be a senior and then it all just flies by before you know it.” That attitude seemed to be one of the more popular ones. However, there was a l ght at the end of this tunnel, tfecause of enthusiasts like Lar y Law- son. He says, “Because it’s my senior year, I want to reach my highest goals in tennis which in- cludes going to the slate.” The graduating atheletes did leave many spaces Jfo be filled. However, they toolI with them special talents and abilites which had been strengthened by their performances as Broome Athe letes. (STEVEN BRi SEAY) • LEY.
