Multiple choice question: Whflt has two red eyes, slumped slioulders, a glazed stare and a yawn- ing mouth? (a) Dean Martin with a hangover, (b) Cinderella after walk- ing home Irom the ball with one shoe missing or (c) a North High Senior after finals. If you answered (c), then you have probably seen some of these walking zombies around campus. A medical term has been given to their malady. Senior burnout, nodded Karri Bates Everybody gets it sometime by the end of their Senior year. Unlike mono or the flu, students have no desire to hide this illness. Every- where you go you hear someone say- ing how sick of school they are, said Linda Briggs. According to one knowledgeable senior who wished to remain anony- mous, Senior burnout occurs when the total hours of sleep you get is less than the total number of hours of homework assigned. The result is a total lack of interest in school. Oth- ers added that burn-out can be caused by things such as too many activities and having gone to the same school for four years. Surprisingly, seniors didn ' t regard burnout as a serious problem. Re- lax, laughed a senior. Burnout has a mysterious habit of going into re- mission over vacations! •• ' Staring off into space, lay Stanley gives his mind a break from the traumas of midterms. Burnout set in early for this senior. V ► Kevin D. Richardson Swim Team, BSR, Percussion Ensemble Cassie Rigney Karl S. Rimbach Tennis, North Star, Drama, Finertz Jennifer R.

Authority Makes Year A Thrill »s a freshman, I was run up a flagpole and left tfiere for a while, but now I have the authority, and I feel as if I can do anything, said Robert Hu- dock. For many seniors, domg any- thing meant literally that. Being a sen- ior had definite advantages. Jon Hall exclaimed, As a senior, when I say I can do anything, I mean what I say. This is my senior year! As the final year arriv ed, seniors began to take advantage of it as a time to procrastinate, have fun, and let school worries become second, or perhaps, even third or fourth. Being a senior allows me to have fun because I don ' t have to worry about my image or grades like I did when I was a fresh- man, stated Rebecca Everett. However, many seniors still found it necessary to study on weekends or un- til the wee hours of the morning in ex- change for parties or the company of close friends. Glorine Jimenez com- mented, Yeah, I know a lot of times 1 need to study but I ' d rather go out and party. For some, the excitement of high school diminished as the senior year approached. As freshman, high school was a new challenge which had intro- duced them to many exciting expjer- lences. Yet by the senior year some had fallen into repeated patterns of daily routines. High school is the same old thing, homework and classrooms are boring and harder, but I ' ll make it, stated Brigitte Risper. Nevertheless, high school, from fresh- man to senior year, had engraved memories in the lives of seniors. Eric Foss remarked, I have had fun and enjoyed all four years of high school and will benefit from the memories they have given i.:3. •»• Jay C. Stanley Swim Team. CSF. AURORA, Finertz, Adv.
