Eleven Seniors struggled to claim a seat of honor In the class of ’12, eleven seniors struggled to claim their seat of honor. During the 5 years of their high school careers, extra effort put forth from day to day in all facets of school life led them to their high ranking in the class. Strict competition for grades among some seniors proved so strong that in the final evaluatio Becky Quinn and Debbie Car- mines tied for top honors. Other energetic seniors who strived for perfection also made the mark. When asked her feelings on reaching the top Becky Quinn had this to say, ’’Well, I’m proud of it, but you feel after it’s all over that somehow it was wasted . and maybe you could have had more of a balance between studying and really enjoying your high school years. ”

Senior officers had accomplish ed what they had set out to do The senior class, consisting of 77 members, was motivated by the ever present thought of the coming of graduation day. Throughout the year, seniors were constantly aware of their mounting responsibilities and man- aged to meet the challenges set before them. Lynne Freeman, president felt that the main problem of the senior class was the lack of unity. The duties of the president seemed mearly imossible when time came to carry out plans that were made. Sometimes, it was hard to get a class meeting rolling. It seemed that everybody involved al- ways had something to say that just couldn’t wait. The result was usually mass chaos at ll class meetings. The senior officers sparked class initiative and somehow managed to get the job done. At the year’s end, senior offi- cers felt that they had accomplished what they had set out to do.

Wierd, huh?!” — Anonymous Senior goals varied greatly according to back- ground, enthusiasm, interest, and maturity. The importance of such goals was evident as the exit from high school wo uld mark the beginning of their ascent toward these goals. ‘‘I’m not sure what I’m going to do.” — Pat McBride ‘‘My goal is college. ” — Mike Lowery
