'-l9'il?ll1!QjI!' -J -.N .J-a..a-n -n -,N Y y by MariaFroehle W hat is a senior? A senior is someone who has suffered 12 years of schooling and has to face four more years returning to a freshman again. A senior is a 17-year-old who has to face getting a job and working for the rest of his life. Dont tell us that! yelled senior Ken Imaizumi when faced with this future. Usually seniors have found their niche but they have only a few short weeks to enjoy it. They know everyone - teachers and students alike. Seniors have their own lawn and spend a majority of their time looking toward the future. But then their idyllic time is ruined. Senioritis. lt happens! For many the senior year is a time to shine. Most positions with authority are occupied by 12th-graders. These positions include club offices spirit group leaders and student leaders. There are even some classes that are predominently made up of seniors - genetics physics calculus critical thought and honors English 12 for example. The senior year is often the most confusing and the most exciting year for students. It s the time when one tries to remember what he had planned in his earlier years in high school and then goes crazy when he finds out that there is still a lot to be done to reach that goal and only nine months to do it in, commented senior Steve Condrey. lt is the year that they carry with them no matter what their futures hold.

The festivities end- ed with the Homecoming foot- ball game, at which the homecoming royalty was announced. Spirit Week was something different for everyone. All students, participants or not, have fond memories and their own opinions. Spirit Week was a time when the most dignified person can make a fool of himseIf, said sophomore Dan Trumpis. Homecoming Week was fun and out of the ordinary. lt Spirit Week From a Lynch Eye View: Kiddie Day: The entire high school took a journey back in time to the days of pre-school. Toga Day: Caesar would've been amused! Beach DayfSurfer Day: Confused students wonder where to go to catch a wave. Nerd Day: The ultimate day of out-of-style clothing. Blue and White Day: Showing that we truly are a two-tone school. kind of took some of us out of a rut, said sophomore Colby Sherwood. Participating in the ac- tivities during Homecoming Week was a way to bring all students together by showing school spirit and pride, said junior Jenny Johnson. But Spirit Week was not considered a huge success, by some. However sophomore LeRhonda Tanker seemed to have the best attitude. A lot of kids said we were not spirited because people didn't dress up on a lot of the days. The day most people dressed up on was Blue and White day. -If that is not showing spirit, what is'? by Chris Lynch 1.
