THE TOP OF THE WALL Seniors. The top of the wall. The view is great. Everyone is younger, dumber, and smaller than you. Seniors just have this attitude. It falls somewhere between uninterested in- difference and unabashed arrogance. They are more priviliged, and they don’t let anyone forget. Senior year can be split into two ma- jor divisions: The College Application and The Easy Life. It all starts with The College Application. Rumor has it that college applications are designed to prepare the young adult for that pinnacle of incomprehensability, good old form 1040. Unfortunately, unlike 1040, the rest of one’s life rests in that application. Eventually it ends and The Wait begins. The Wait has been compared to waiting on Death Row. It takes a heavy toll on nails, and causes tension headaches. This, too, shall pass, usually by the middle of April. Then begins The Easy Life. It’s the fun part of school. You’ve worked three and a half years for this. Enjoy it. The center of The Good Life is The Party Scene. Upon entering senior year, every student develops an eerie sixth sense that enables one to find a party up to six states away. The ullti- mate pinnacle of The Party Scene is, of course, Prom Night. Prom Night is sort of like an aircraft carrier battle group. There is the prom itself, the carrier, and a flotilla of support parties. All of these parties inevitably result in multiple arrests and the creation of a few new lives. Regardless, it’s a vital event in the whole scheme of things. Another aspect of the Good Life is At- tendance and The Whole Second Se- mester. Attendance is void. Nobody wants to go to class, so some don't. Those who do are there in body only. Due to some lemminglike urge, though, every senior skips every class on one given day. This is given the cryptic designation ‘Senior Skip Day’. The Whole Second Semester can be summed up in two words: no- body cares. Everyone then starts the whole four year thing again in September. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. Anyway, may | have a drum roll, please? Pre- senting the Class of 1987, whom next year’s freshman will never know. It's been real. Have a good life.
