Grayville High School - Gusher Yearbook (Grayville, IL)

Page 19 text:

Cetuwtsofr 1974 A unique year of one’s life happens after he has completed three years of high school. The final year, the senior year, gives the annual school events a new dimension and meaning by suddenly realizing the purpose of homecoming, dances, basketball games, baseball games, and more specially, graduation. In this respect, the senior year is unique because it culminates three years of experience in a year of change. The final year sees youths become men and women, attitudes turn to ideals, and followers become leaders. Within these changes are the tensions of aggravation and disappointment in failure, and the jubilance and confidence in success. Upon finishing one’s last year at Grayville High, the senior leaves his sheltered life and enters into a competitive and challenging society. In the ensuing years of successes and failures, the senior year will be ever present in one's mind, heart, and soul. Senior Class Officers Left to Right: Steve Wilson - Secretary; Sherri Graham - Treasurer; Kevin Aker - Treasurer: Debbie Miller - Vice-President; Gary Glover - President. 15
