Is there life after high school? yy The basic question of every gradu- ating senior; “Is there life after high school?” Many seniors weren’t sure of what opportunities were available and which one was the best for them. After graduation, there is variety; join the armed forces, go to a trade school, get married, find a full-time job, or go to college. Most of our sen- iors looked forward to continuing their education; the majority planned to at- tend college. Sr. Dawn Galloway felt that “college is the best opportunity after high school. It will teach me a sense of responsibility and give me a feeling of being on my own.” Others felt that the armed forces offered it all. Someone in the forces can learn a trade, continue higher edu- cation, become responsible and gain a sense of self-esteem. Senior Straughn Tyssen Zimmermann’s advice to ev- eryone is to “join the service and serve your country.” He shares the view that the armed forces can provide some great experience for all who get involved. The opportunities for graduating seniors were both numerous and var- ied; it was up to us to carefully consid- er the possibilities and make the choice that will help us to succeed in life. —Laura Catanzariti Jim Malony and Kim Lancer at the final stage of a culinary delight, courtesy of the Boces kitchen.

When Seconds Count; Between Classes My locker speaks for itself.” Do you think you could survive without your locker? “I don’t know what I’d do without my locker, it’s where I put my coat,” exclaims Junior Laura Lombardo. As many of you may believe, a locker is just a piece of metal, but Chris Jaros says, ‘‘My locker is very special to me.” To some, a locker or a gToup of lockers is a meeting place for friends. “My locker speaks for itself,” says Greg Scholl. ‘‘It's got swell pic- tures.” Many students decorate them with various types of pictures. They can be a quick “pick me up” after a dull class. Keeping things neat can be very important in that an organized locker can be a healthy one, but many of us felt that chaos displayed individuality. When asked to describe his, senior Craig Mannion replied, ‘‘It’s cluttered and a big mess!” Our lockers were a mess in our school lives but many stu- dents just don’t realize it! 00 you? - Vivian Ibraham
