i ne science room housed seniors one morning in February, as Ms. V. Mott measured seniors for their graduation caps. Denise Prater removes the curlers from her hair so she can get an accurate measurement. Notorious punster Raul Gonzales models an ’ear-itating” new fashion. The earring was worn as part of a potential layout on this year's fads. Jenny Stroud and Lorren Mott make it obvious senioritis hits even the top 10 per cent of the class.

Space for primp- ing could always be found. “This years seniors are so much better than last years. Due to them having to have a 70 grade average the extra effort has helped curb senioritis.” com- mented Mrs. Janice Swope. 125

Senioritis Strikes Incurable Illness Hits Where it Hurts Everyone knew their senior year would be fun and exciting. It was supposed to be the time to get more involved and share even more in the special events with friends. Throughout these good times we were supposed to mature and somehow grow confi- dent enough to conquer whatever lay in wait in the future. These expectations were not too far out of line, until we caught that age-old, senior malady SENIORITIS. Senioritis usually strikes seniors about two weeks into the year and lasts until graduation day. Symptoms of the horribly con- tagious bug are lack of concentra- tion, drooping eyes, laziness and a serious desire to partay. These symptoms are often accompanied by the non-stop thinking about “what will I do after graduation? Even today there seems to be no sure cure. Graduation sometimes helps and vacations and weekend plans helps somewhat, but these are not a sure cure. Sometimes senioritis lasts beyond walking the stage. The only thing that is for sure, is that senioritis has been around, is still around and will always be around when tht long 12-year schooling is over, by Kendra Bounds Greg Mitchell, senior, was chosen to go to China as a young American athlete representing Texas.
