Underclassmen must then worry about final exams. Students in foreign language and social studies courses found themselves at all five sessions of exams. This conflict usually caused an excessive amount of cramming the night prior to the exam. Late night studying was prevalent and had students up lat- er than they deserved. Fred Buck said, I found myself trying to review a whole seme ster ' s work in two hours. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors also worried about signing up for next year ' s classes. Most stu- dents tried to find the easiest schedule that would give them enough credit. College-bound stu- dents usually get their schedule filled to meet the credits required by most colleges. But wait!! We are forgetting Prom. The highlight of all spring activities once again took place at Kiwanis Lodge. While a small band provided music at Prom itself, a disc-jockey played the tunes at After-Prom. The disc-jockey came by wish of the students and because of a lack of money for another band. I liked the idea of having a disc-jockey because the music was easier to dance to and the music was not an imitation of the origi- nal band, stated senior Heidi Brack. What college are you going to? NOW FOR THE REAL THING. Seniors finish their last practice before graduating. Craig Cicatclli smiles because he has done it. TIME OUT!

Between sports, tests, jobs, and in- timate relationships, many students found it hard to put in sufficient hours towards schoolwork.

Bob Potokar sits thinkmg about what class to fill in his schedule. In the spring underclassmen carefully choose classes for the fall. This question was asiced of almost every senior. Commencement activities took place June 6 and marked the final wrap up for seniors. Many seniors then went out looking for jobs to help pay the rising college expenses or pre- pared themselves for life on their own. Following graduation came all the celebration parties. One after another these parties lasted practi- cally throughout the whole sum- mer. Students usually received high amounts of money and some even get their first car as graduation gifts. These parties also provided a sort of final class get- together before going to college. So this ends what we call wrap- ping up the year. Prom is but a fond memory, exams are over, and the seniors are gone forever. Sum- mer is here. Times are changing and so are the people. It is all part of the SHIFT that we ' re all CAUGHT IN! 16 Wrapping up the Year
