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. ”
