Just as commencement marke the end of a senior year, the summer marks the ascendence of a new senior class, with new ideas, new at- titudes, and a new senior lounge. Each year, the sen- iors choose how they will decorate their on-campus bastion of leisure. Long after the senior year has ended and a class has departed the school, they will likely recall their final year and most of all, the colorful and unique senior lounge. This year, the seniors be- gan renovation of the senior lounge during the summer. Leaving campus was prob- ably the senior privelge most taken for granted this past year. Not only because every senior used it, but because so many of us have had at least a year of practice. This brings up the problem con- cerning those real neat ju- niors, who think they have the same rights as seniors. Wrong! If they were caught, a typical punishment was AM . W , - wi 'S . QVMD! God! As school opened in Septem- ber, the lounge had two Grateful Dead paintings, an outlined sketch of what was titled the Kroger meatmas- ter, and a painting of the cover from Pink Floyd's, Tig Wig As the year progressed, extra pictures began to ap- pear. A purple Grimace popped up, a Doors logo in its appropriate place, and a Christie Brinkley poster, fur- nished by esteemed senior Tucker Fransiscus. Finally, all the seniors got into the act by second semes- ter, painting their names in an interlocking pattern, writ- rock group names and lyrics. Mr. Guilliams even aided the seniors by having them whitewash the walls, allow- ing them to start anew with different, better ideas. The Class of 1987 will truly be re- membered as an artistic class if judged by the state of their senior lounge. by Rob Klahr Seniors show their unity by en- gaging in the Classic ritual of paint- ing every member's name in cross- word-like fashion.

th eNclgZi2iifimEod Tradition is a vital part of Country Day, and can be easily found with a simple survey of the campus. Per- haps tradition is as much a part of the school as athletics and academics. Every year the bon fire burns bright and coat and ties remain the proper drress code. One oth- er tradition can not go un- mentioned - the annual sacrifice to the pond god by the senior class. Usually one lucky member is usually se- lected for the sacrifice - the first senior accepted to a col- wn- V legeg however, this year tra- dition was side stepped, as two seniors, Fred Teuten- berg and Dan Crank, entered the dark murky muddy wa- ter on a cold December morning.

Waiting for another American Lit. seminar, senior John Gregory and friends vegetate by their lock- ers.

While the underclassmen pile through the congested May Hall corridor, pushing, shov- ing, and shouting, the seniors proceed in a quiet, noncha- lant manner to the soundless Senior Row in the base- ment of May Hall in Upper School. Brooding and pon- dering the possible reasons for why the derivative of a certain function is undefined as x approaches zero, the seniors emit an aura of pure intellectualism and selfless hard work as they reach gen- tly into their clean lockers for their textbooks, closing their lockers in such fashions which would avoid ruffling their sports jackets hanging from the interior of their lockers. Contrasting the rambun- cious group of underclass- men who are kicking and slamming their helpless lockers, throwing their books on the floor, wrestling with classmates, and splashing water from the water foun- tain onto others, the reticent seniors can often be found si- lently studying in the hall- way of Senior Row or pecking away at a computer in the computer lab, which is located just in the center of the locker areas. It is surely a compliment to the seniors that hardly ever do Mr. Wer- remeyer or other Math De- partment teachers complain of any type of uproar outside their offices in the basement. Thanks to the yearbook of- fice, located just at the foot of the stairs of Senior Row, the yelling and screaming typical of May Hall corridor are kept at a minimum. The pervading sense of pure seri- ousness, intellectual aware- ness, and hard work in Sen- ior Row is simply awesome. But if you believe any of this, you obviously do not know the seniors in the class of 1987. by Ken Brakebill In-between classes, seniors Chip Reichardt and John Gregory gather their books torm their lock- ers in Senior Row tor their next class.
