Photo by Courtenay Nearburg M We're gonna rule the school. Students look for- ward to their senior year from the beginning of their high school career. They can’t wait to rule the school, and besides, they would have all those senior privileges, right? Wrong. For the first time those famous senior privileges are gone. » Senior study hall is no more and seniors are no longer allowed free absences and exemption from exams. Since the privileges have been taken away gradually, the privileges have not been missed as much as they would have been. “Although it would be fun to have senior privileges, I don’t really miss them since I haven’t ever really known what they are like,” said senior Whitney Burnett. LP ak v S Even without privileges, senior year still differs from all other years of high school. Since a new lifestyle awaits them just around the corner seniors are often more independent than other students. “IT have gone out with my friends almost every night, because I figure it’s my senior year and I figure why not live it up,” said senior Drew Andrews. Senioritis remained another ex- clusive aspect of the senior year. Dif- ferent people interpret senioritis in different manners. “I think senioritis was trying to get away with everything I hadn’t gotten away with in my other eleven years of school,” said Whit Pillsbury. Senior Leigh Hutchison said, “Senioritis was the satisfaction of knowing you're the head of the school.’ Maybe senior privileges were not what made senior year unique. The attitude of independence and finally being the leaders of the school was what made senior year stand out. 7 Marcie Nobles
