Looking Ahead Seniors make the year their best Seniors returned to school from lazy summers to find the rules of the educa- tion game had changed. They had lost exemptions, early release, the corral, and had gained a UIL academic re- quirement policy that changed every few weeks. But privileges lost aside, most seniors decided to make the best of what was supposed to be one of the best years of their lives. They took part in an array of activities, ranging from the senior progressive dinner to the powder puff football game. These activities among others stressed the spirit of being a senior. After all, a lot had happened and a lot was going to happen. Seniors spent the first month of the school year dressing the sammies in bibs and playing the rating game outside the cafeteria. As October and November rolled around, many students took the SAT or ACT test in order to apply to the college of their choice. In February some seniors started the main event of their senior English year - the term paper. After the term paper, the rest of the year seemed to be a piece of cake. All that was left was to make the choice of a college. Finally, May brought prom and graduation. As seniors drew nearer to May 28, they anxiously anticipated the future. However, with a sad note, they looked back on their three years of high school and realized the end was near. lShmock and Trentj Before senior Diana Anglin won best individual Before school and during break, students studied cheerleader at the National Cheerleading Com- on the tables in front of the cafeteria.

01 4,0 'tis I'll be your best friend if Everyone remembers that popular, persuasive phrase from childhood when, out of a whole class, two people became best friends. High school life was more complicated. Every student had many ac- quaintances to sit beside and say hello to. However, out of many acquaintances, each student needed a special someone - a best friend to share the good times and hardships of high school. Going to dinner, to a party, or to a movie were some of the good times shared by friends. Friends also helped each other through the rough times. After a disagreement with parents, students could depend on friends to lend a sympathetic ear. Seeing a buddy in the hall, gossiping about the latest romance, or deciding where to go on Friday night were the little things that kept friends so close. The friends who were more than ac- quaintances were the best ones. lGoolsbyj Students find their friends dressed in unique ways on nerd day. Walking down the hall senior Paul Robinson shows off the latest nerd attire - pens and calculator in pocket, lunchbox in hand, and bookbag on back. lPel1erin1 People X 57
