Carefree and cocky throughout our early years, SENIOR CLASS officers Ray Rogers, vice-pres- ident; Darryl Everett, president; and Deidra Coy, secretary-treasurer, ponder how to dis- tribute some remaining tins of nuts. Seniors sold over 1200 cans to net a higher income than any class preceding them.

In our high school we see teens in transition as we broaden our horizons through association with others. Adjusting to life, we grow in knowledge and understanding of human personalities. As sophomores awed by its spaciousness and luster, we roam the halls of SHS with map and handbook in hand. We also display an effervescent enthusiam mixed with self-consciousness and protective class pride. Growing in character as juniors, we acquire a stronger sense of values and begin to look to the future with purpose. Beginning to realize the opportunities which lie before us, we set out to seize them. As seniors we are swept by a feeling of nostalgia. In retrospect we feel we have achieved so little. We stand on the brink of adulthood, longing to step forward, yet reluctant to do so. It is now that we come to realize our own potential and its significance in this dynamic era. 9
