Seniors set priorities to make their mark The Senior Class of 1981 was a class with varied priorities. While some people were concentrating on making the most of their final high school year, others were developing their futures. Many students became very involved in school activities. They wanted their senior year to be the busiest and most memorable of their high school career. One such senior was Randy Divinski. He became very involved in school activities and took advantage of all that Park had to offer. Divinski was a member of the football, crosscountry ski. and track teams. He was also involved in student government and KDXL. Along with these, he started a war game club and drew several cartoons for the Echo. Other seniors spent the year unfolding their future. Their minds were filled with college or vocational choices, financial aid and other college plans. Kristi Soderberg was one senior who devoted much of her time to planning her life after graduation. She became extremely active in her church youth group and in Young Life, a non-denominational Christian organization. Being involved in these groups helped her decide on a religiously affiliated college. Soderberg also had a job at Lenox Center Pre-school to earn money for college expenses. Working at the pre-school also helped her gain experience in working with children. an area that she would like to specialize in. Senior priorities — making a final mark on the school or planning for the future — helped to make many students’ last year at Park rewarding.

Because Watson answered Bell, the senior hotline lives High School Survey. Question 13: What was the most popular question asked by seniors on a Friday? Answer: 'What's going on this week- end?' After the inquiry had been passed around from 7:45 to 2:20. everyone went home to start the hotline on that convenient invention, the telephone. The most exclusive hotline of all was the ‘Senior Hotline.' It started out with just one phone call, senior to senior of course. Then it went on as a geometric progression involving more and more members of the class of '81. It often took quite a while to get the itinerary fully straightened out. For example. Diane started out by calling Karen regarding the rumor of a ‘Seniors Only' party. Karen, wanting to know about the news, phoned another senior. Kevin. Before Kevin could gel back to Karen he had to call Scott but he was on the phone with Rob so while Kevin waited to talk to Scott he called Jodi who had Amy over but they weren't sure of any senior activities yet. The confusion went on but eventually it all got straightened out. An important aspect of the Senior Hotline was keeping the conversations a secret from the underclassmen until the good times were over and had become idle Monday gossip. After all. many seniors felt it a class duty to have a good time amongst themselves and give the future seniors something to look forward to. Whether the activity was boo-thockey. a movie, a basketball game or a wild and crazy party, the seniors were in on it thanks to the Senior Hotline.
