Some ofthe main concerns expressed by seniors in their last year of high school are related to events after graduation, and some pertain to high school. Pressure is exerted by the Preliminary applications, final applications, and references to submit to colleges or employers. Problems aside, the most interesting aspect of the year was, as one senior said, that it was not distinctive. He went on to say, lt is perhaps not the glorious time we were promised, but somehow it was expected? counseling staff to have seniors take a well-rounded class load, to counteract the infamous Senioritis.
