Oral reports are often required of students in many classes. Arthur Khamis and James Lee listen attentively as Tim Ledwon reads his paper to the class. Seniors Regardless of how diverse each individual of the class of, ’88 was, they all shared one common trait — they were finally SENIORS!!! Col¬ lege applications flooded the desks of these students, and frequent visits with their counselors occurred. This was the exciting time they had patiently waited for. The discovery of the college they would be attending highlight¬ ed the entire year. Other special moments added pleasure and enjoy¬ ment to senior life. This time more than ever students were certain to attend events such as the Home¬ coming dance, football games, Turnabout, and prom, knowing that this would be their final opportu¬ nity. Seniors focused their at¬ tention upon possibilities for the future. Besides college, various other options were available. The Armed Forces made frequent visits and talked with interested stu¬ dents. Others chose the world of work as their future by searching for full-time 0 jobs. Seniors made their final year at West a memorable one by taking part in the stu¬ dent government, school sports, organizations, and plays. They were definitely a rowdy bunch, always making themselves known at school assemblies as they chanted loudly, “Senior! Seniors!” Senior Jeannine DiModica and fellow classmate catch up on the latest West Word news. Students look forward to reading the school newspaper when it is distributed on Wednesdays. Gina Bravos and Ken Munic are stunned by the gossip they hear from a classmate. Students find some free time in their schedules to spend with friends. 8 Division-Seniors

Indians Rock The House Enthusiasm rocked the hallways, as school spirit erupt¬ ed throughout NiWeHi! The feelings of suspense and ex¬ citement roared in the gymnasium during pep assem¬ blies. Friends and enemies alike forgot their differences and set out for a common goal, to cheer out teams to victory. The feelings of unity and enthusiasm were evident as the flocks of student crammed into the gymnasium. Ex¬ plosions of red and white bodies filled the once empty bleachers. Fans yelled, screamed, and of course, chanted the school spirit songs. School spirit was not only shown at the pep assemblies, but throughout the entire week leading up to the games. The Midnight Riders displayed much school spirit throughout the season. They went on toilet paper fren¬ zies at varsity athletes ' houses to inspire positive winning attitudes. Homecoming week arrived, bringing with it mobs of psyched Indians. Hundreds of painted students went on a spirit warpath to express their enthusiasm. Activites for the week consisted of dress up days which involved class levels wearing different colors and unusual styles of dress attire, contests for the best toga, greatest putting ability in golf, and the quick football uniform change contest. These were all held to boost spirit and morale. The dedi¬ cation to school spirit will never die in the hearts of our true-blue, red and white Indians. n Senior Craig Gramatis finds the English Resource Center the ideal place for some last minute studying. Cramming half an hour before a test is extreme¬ ly popular among students, especially seniors. Laura Abrahams Mathew Achett Bob Adams Scott Adams Dennis Agnos 10 Seniors
