Sophomores were threatening and juniors were cool, but the seniors ruled the school: and they were awesome. But what made a senior a REAL SENIOR? Shannon Anderson said, not being nineteen and in P.E. on the five year plan. Eric Rafter said it was being able to go off campus for lunch and writing my own readmittance notes when I turn eighteen. Sharon Schmidt really hit the truth though when she said, Anyone who ' s made it through all four years and managed to hang in there — that ' s a real senior. When one thought of all the pitfalls he could have encountered during the years, he counted little successes like passing all the proficiency tests: getting an afterschool job to pay for car insurance and still managing to keep a decent G.P.A.; and making it to the scheduled graduation date and finally receiving a diploma. Looking back on the last four years, most of the seniors didn ' t realize that the effects of these things were lasting. Not passing a class freshman year eventually caught up with a senior. In the counseling office at any time, one might hear a senior say. So how many more credits do I need to graduate? Though many seniors had the credits, some couldn ' t graduate because they hadn ' t passed their proficency tests. These students had to retake the tests and some had to re- take them more than. once. Mr. Baber said that he usually had to give the tests about 3 times so people who had trouble with them got several chances. While opinions about being a real senior varied, one senior definitely stated how everyone felt. If you ' re a real senior, she said, you ' ve hit highs and lows and still managed to make it out ALIVE! (t ± r - ' 4 % 4T • t 16 Se tt4ra

Co- ice Presidents Charina Oro and asturi Bagchi C ccen Stent For three years, class officers had fundraised, planned, and worked on one goal — Prom. With it over, and $3000 left in the bank, senior officers could ' ve sat back and relaxed. They didn ' t. Faced with projects that hadn ' t been important before — senior trip, graduation activities, site, and night, officers received a lot of help in what to do and where to go at the well-attended senior meetings. It was worth giving up lunch to vote on where the senior trip ' s going to be, said Tonya Foerster. And with the threat of if you don ' t raise the money — your cost will be higher, many seniors participated in the souvenir, candy, and John Hall Sang Min Han Adam Hanson Danelle Hanson raffle sales. I ' d rather sell now than pay later, said Eric Rafter. Even though the trip and graduation activities got seniors into the meetings, it was the Winter Formal — another senior project that received the most attention. Cancelled by the officers, it was brought back by popular demand from interested students of all grades. A great deal of time was spent working before and after school, break and lunch, but it didn ' t stop there. My job doesn ' t end at the end of the year, said President Julie Cheun, My duties carry on in ten and twenty years from now when we have our reunions.
