Tg uuvtcAitu?; Being a Senior M dliy people have asked, What's it like being a senior? Or they might have said. You must be psyched. You’re a senior! 1 can't wait until I’m a senior! But what is it like being a senior anyway? Is it being psyched? Is it the party year? Does it mean no more school? To each senior, ’Being A Senior' means something different. Most of all. being a senior means saying good bye to Quincy. For four years, we have been saying, I can't wait! I can’t wait! Just four more years! Each year comes and goes and it is the same line over and over. “I can't wait! I can't wait! But now one comes back for this our final year and it's a whole new attitude. I don't want to leave” or “I’m scared of what the future will bring!” But why the sudden change? Why the new attitude? Quincy High and Voc-Tech look the same. A feww new teachers here and there. but it’s still the same old stuff; sports and homework. So why do we suffer these new feelings? As long as there is a Quincy High and Quincy Vocational Technical School, there will always be memories. Quincy is a part of us, just as we are a part of our schools. We are seniors now and we always will be. That’s the way that everyone will come to remember us, not as the ugly duckling fresh- men. nor as the too smart for our own britches sophomores, nor even as the ne’er do well juniors. The only year we will be remembered for will be our senior year. And as that senior year gets closer and closer to a final end. it means that we will become memories for all the people we have gotten to know. We will have become the Class of 1988, and isn’t that what we always wanted to be anyway? During one of our locker clean outs. Ms Nancy Kelly makes her way back into her room (310) passing waist baskets overflowing u’ilh old homework assignments and the remains of the last M M sale Armsher Johnson also circles around the piles which await remota! by the custodians With the senior class in the background awaiting their election speeches.

Not realizing what she was getting herself into, she brought Lisa Perfetuo. Brenda Ryan. Tracy Chaupetta. Lynn Beven. Comte LeVangie and Diana Stafford Sirs Lane learned her lesson though While those around hove grimaces depicting the desire to be somewhere else rather than having to enter the school for classes. Lynn Beven just keeps smiling. One can probably count on the fingers of one hand the number of times she has been seen without a smile In some ports of the uorld. he might be known to people as Adonis or even as Apollo, but in Quincy we just know him as Joseph Cotter. Striking a pose similar to those used by muscle builders, he causes many young ladies to drool and wonder if they can have a date Intent of adjusting the volume and tuning of his walkman.

The final year for senior does not mean that seniors are the only people in the school It seems that Stacy Leefe cannot manage to smile without closing her eyes.
