WE GOT SERIOUS Senior year was not the time to sit back and relax when it came to school work. Instead, our last year of high school was the time to put an extra effort into every class. When we thought that we deserved an easy second semester because we had already been accepted into the college of our choice, we thought again. Many colleges threatened to quickly re- voke our acceptance if our grades dropped in the second semester, and we might have had to take final exams in the spring. If we planned on working after graduation, goofing off was not to our advantage either. Many employers checked on potential employees by looking into their high school records. They focused mainly on senior grades as well as comments from our teachers and counselors. Thus, we kept working and trying our best in the last eighteen weeks of our high school life. The rewards were far greater than if we had slept through those memorable months. -Julie Huff, even though she had a 3.8 grade average throughout high school, worked even harder in her senior year. Because of her efforts, she got accepted into one of the best colleges of science in the U.S. -Because she worked hard in her office assistant class and made a high score on the Civil Service test, Re- deema Syrkes was contacted by two government agen- cies for a job. With the prospect of the REAL WORLD facing her, Teresa Powers buckles down and learns computer langauge. Susie Tiskiewic knows that chemistry is a necessity for those seeking a higher education. 82 Seniors
