They are full-grown adults, yet they do not have the same privileges as adults. They are at their peak intellectually, yet they are still naive. Many are indecisive at a time when their decisions are most important. Seniors usually ‘‘leave their nests’’ and either fly or crash. They have been pre- paring all their lives for graduation and they are ready for the challenge. This restlessness of the seniors infects them all, and they contract a disease called “senioritis.”’ — David Jones — 5% of remaining brain cells reserved for SAT’s Pearly whites Super biceps from four years of carrying books Any shoes he wants ALNURAH EBONY ADJOUA: Indoor Outdoor Track 9, 10; SCA Congress 9; Orchestra 9, 10; J.V.

Day after day the lockers in the new wing challenge the strength and dexterity of frus- trated students like Angela Biggs, who fights her locker, which refuses to give in to force. They don’t make them like they used to,” she complains. Phil Stevens Confused expressions overcome the fea- tures of Doug Starnes as he studies his second semester schedule. He quickly memorized the paper instead of being forced to continually refer to it and risk the chance of losing it.
