TERRY FLITTER All our dandelion days are done and so we'll run the fields no more in search of wild roses that grow out on the moor. All our dandelion days are done and so we'll turn our heads away from every silver morning and every golden day. But sweet September’s open arms belonged to us and held us once. Remember when the summertime sang songs to us and only us. All our dandelion days are done and so we'll run the fields no more for all the wild roses have withered on the moor. Rod McKuen 9

SITTING: Brenda Anders, Treasurer. KNEELING; Larry Shead, Vice Pres- ident. STANDING: Julie Zielinski, Secretary’, and Norm Strefling, President. Finally, we are Seniors. This year we pon- dered over such relevant problems as What college will take me with the grades I've got! or How in the world can I get a job next year? or even, Has anybody figured out how to draw that blasted graph for Econ class! This year we were faced with a whole barrage of such questions. Silly or not, they were im- portant at the time. By our Senior year, the class was not so much a unified body as a large group of students who faced similar pro- blems and responsibilities. Each of us had to decide on a college or career, easy street or finally making it on our own. We were individuals who faced that ultimate and quickly nearing day of graduation, and we were alternately joyful and sad. The thought of graduation, though, made it easier for each of us to pull away from the school routine, for such ritual soon became childish-seeming in the face of reality. Through experience we grew more interested in the individual than in the class, and the parting was rendered easier. Graduation, we knew would be the first day of the rest of our lives.
