v $ As seniors lined up anxiously awaiting to order their caps, gowns, and announce- ments for graduation in June, they began to contemplate the final day . . . the day they would be free . . . the day of high school graduation. When I saw the tas- sels, I got excited thinking about gradu- ation. I felt like an official senior and I could almost taste the freedom, stated Laura Boucher. Although it was exciting to imagine the freedom they would soon have, many sen- iors felt very apprehensive and jittery. Leaving their friends that they acguired over the past twelve years and entering a real world, one full of responsibilities and opportunities was for some, a difficult tran- sition. I am really nervous. Once you look at all the caps and gowns for graduation, you begin to feel the anticipation of gradu- ation. I ' m kind of shaky about the whole thing. Once graduation is over hopefully the things I want to happen will fall into place, stated Sherri Pendleton. Others felt they had no need to worry about graduation or the future until the very last minute in June. I won ' t start wor- rying until June, then I ' ll get really ner- vous. I want to enjoy my senior year with- out too many worries, exclaimed Danny Fierro. As the thought entered their minds they knew the day of graduation was frightfully near, maybe nearer than they really want- ed. Some were unprepared for the future, and undecided about what they wanted to do after high school. I almost felt like cry- ing because I realized the end was near. I don ' t know if I ' m ready to go out on my own, explained Kim Richmond. Some didn ' t have the funds, or the courage to go through with what they had dreams of do- ing. While some were anticipating the excit- ing vacations they would take after gradu- ation, others were intimidated by the fear of making it in our world. I was thinking to myself, I hope it isn ' t a waste of money, know it won ' t be because it ' s a once in a lifetime thing. I can ' t wait. I ' m ready, stat- ed Darren Proulx. Still, others were sure of their future plans. The senior class felt they had the power to attain their goals, and to be suc- cessful in life. e 1 .

The first topic arose and com- ments and suggestions were sug- gested by the dedicated students. Being on the Junior class coun- cil isn ' t all the fun you might think it is because it takes a lot of time, participation, and committment. The council was in charge of ar- ranging the Prom and other dances. I joined again because I like devoting time to my school, stated Gustavo Oceguera. Money for the class of 87 ' s needs, came from fund raisers like selling candy and coupon books. In order to be on the council, members had to attend meetings and help out wherever they were needed. Concession stands were usually filled with juniors and class coun- cil members, who were willing to donate their time to build up funds. o 1 .
