Many things come to mind at its mention, but most important comes one's trials and tribulations incurred while climbing the step ladder to graduation. Asafreshman,beingulittlefishinabig pond meant just that. Freshman ridicule seemed to be a favorite game played by upperclassmen. Freshmen were also unfortunate in that they were also unable to drive, still depending on parents for weekend entertainment. Climbing one rung on the ladder, sophomores began taking on a much more regarded position. Many were fortunate enough to receive their drivers licenses, enabling them to experience a more active social life. Grades were more important as sophomores began thinking of college. On the third step, juniors felt more accepted as a major part of Klein and more importantly, as adults. They began preparing for college by taking the PSAT and attending College Night to get a feel for the variety of opportunities open to them. Social life was very satisfying because parents were more lenient and trusting. The fourth and final step brought with it many new and exciting emotions and challenges. Seniors struggled through first semester, striving for more points toward their GPA's. They took a more sentimental view of things, always thinking that they were the last. Futures were very important and influenced every step seniors took, Seniors experienced an obvious camaraderie and acted with more independence and maturity. Social life was at its peak because the seniors held more responsibility and managed their own lives. Each step in achieving the final goal of graduation was vital. The 1983-84 school year was a stepping stone for all. The class of '84 graduated knowing that they had it all. Goodbyes 301
