Nancy Smith finds a quiet place in the Subschool 6 media center to study for a test. Problems, problems, problems. That was a word that meant something to everyone. For the seniors, it was applications to col- lege. Will I get accepted? Which one will I go to? These were just some of the worries of the senior class. PSAT's and SAT's came up for the juniors and brought troubles to those who were depen- ding on a good score to get into the college of their choice. The main concern of the sophomores was obtaining their driver's license. Driving was a new and ex- citing experience, but also brought with it the agonies of gas money and borrowing the car from wary parents. Dating was a new ex- perience for many freshmen. Also working to get good grades was another concern of the freshmen. These were the grades that really counted on their record. The eighth graders worried about getting prepared to enter high school. As for the seventh graders, they faced the problem of adjusting to a brand new school with 3500 older students and the trials and tribula- tions which accompanied it. Students had many anxieties throughout the year, but together they somehow found their own ways to cope with them and make things turn out all right. After school Michelle Martin anc Mark Miistead share the news while waitirg for a rifle home. Substitute counselor Mrs. Ann Pauley discusses a schedule problem with Chris Oevaii after school.
