Seniors pull together Within the past four years, the class of 1985 has evolved from a quiet and disor- ganized group of individuals to a single, united body which is not afraid to let its voice be heard. One of the more evident examples of this change is our enthusi- astic participation in pep assemblies. Our first freshman assembly was a total disaster. While every other class jumped and yelled their hearts out in an attempt to win the coveted “spirit stick, we sat in pitiful silence when our cue was given. However, in time we grew bolder, and by our junior year we practically “‘owned’’ the field house during assemblies. We won the Selinsgrove Pep Assembly tug- of-war our final two years. Our aggresiveness was not known only during pep assemblies however, and neither was our voice. Our prom was a surprising success, despite ru- mors to the contrary. We also were given our senior privileges even though every one expected them to be taken from us. These privileges, which had before been taken for granted, now had to be earned by maintaining at least a C average. To insure that our voice would continue to be heard by the administration, An- drea Morroni was placed on the school board to represent us as a non-voting member. Hopefully, after graduation we can face the future with this same diligence and optimism which has enabled us to ... Come A Long Way. Strain showing on their faces the seniors are urged on at the annual tug-of-war assembly. Julie Klock and Roger Haddon plan to enjoy the Junior Senior prom. 10 Theme

Remember when ♦ ♦ ♦ Middle school was the place where we made the transition from being ‘'kids'’ to being “high school students.” It was a time when we could just let go and have fun with school. Nobody expected us to be ultra-mature, and it was overlooked when we occasionally acted like 4th graders. In middle school we changed gradually into young adults. This change took time but we did have three long years. In 6th grade our first big dance ap- proached and everyone was scared in- side. Afterwards we wondered what war- rented such a fright when we realized we were there for a good time like everyone else. We adapted slowly to the cafeteria routine in our 7th grade year. It went from juke box and food fights into as- signed seats and complete silence — slowly was the only way we could ad- just. We muddled through with the thought that our 8th grade year we would be top dogs! Our 8th grade year came and it was perhaps our hardest in middle school. We did enjoy being on top and not being called names in the halls. But we had to realize one very important fact. It would be four long years until we could “flex our muscles again, because being a freshman is just as bad as being a 6th grader. Why it Cheryl Brosious rooting in Dan Bottinger's hair?
