THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HIGH SCHOOL 3. Just having a good time is Chad Burrill, David Perry, John Southerland and Steven Matz. 4. Who’s that bunny rabbit in the back of the class? 5. Showing their joy over being Seniors is one of Ms. Stephenson’s English classes. The pillow smells like Downy and the sheets are silky soft. You grab your Ted- dy Ruxpin and dream about the beach. Then, a loud banging noise wakes you, it gets louder and louder. As you tighten your comforting grip on Teddy, your lit- tle sister turns on the light and throws the covers off of you. She starts yelling insults as you and tells you to get up. You face reality and realize that it is just an- other typical school day. Dragging yourself into the shower and throwing on last week’s jeans, you dash out of the door. You realize you forgot to brush your teeth, but you are racing to beat the tardy bell already. Arriving at school you discover that you left your English homework at home. (The home- work you stayed up half the night com- pleting.) Somehow you manage to con- vince Mrs. Ready that you really did leave it at home. You make it through second and third periods, but Mr. Og- lesby keeps you after class because you copied a classmate’s homework. Your sob story. By the time you get to “A” lunch, the cafeteria has run out of lunches. With your stomach growling, you make it through fourth and fifth periods. In the massive rush you went through earlier that morning, you accidentally grabbed your little sister’s gym bag. Wearing tiny pink Smurf shorts, you begin to play scooter soccer. You’re doing pretty well when you hear a loud rip. After a period of hysterical laughter, 2:30 arrives. Your typical day is over and homeward bound is on your mind. Yes, there’s no place like high school. ANGIE PICKETT OPENING 5

 STEPPING OUT BUT STEPPING UP OPENING 7 As Seniors walk down the aisle to fi- nally gain what they have worked twelve long years to achieve, they will remem- ber growing up, learning, and making mistakes. Remember the first day of school? You held your mother’s hand so tight, afraid of letting go. She came to pick you up from school, but you didn’t want to leave. (Yes, there was a time!) Remember when you learned to write your name? You spent hours carefully shaping letters and waited for the praise that came after you formed a perfect “e”. Remember when you finally under- stood how to tell time? Every five min- utes you would check on the progress of the big hand and the little hand. Remember the first day of middle school? You longed to make the transi- tion from childhood to the teenage years. You were too young to date but too old to play games. Remember your first kiss? You were so nervous but ended up laughing. Remember your freshman year? You dreamt of nothing but becoming an al- mighty senior then. Remember finally taking your senior pictures? You tried to get your best pose but ended up in pictures you swore couldn’t be you. Finally, we reached the climax of our school years. The future is the next step, but our school years will always be a part of us. ANGIE PICKETT 4. Spirited Seniors in action at a pep rally on Friday afternoon before the game. 5. My Three Sons?
