Many people didn't know who the Senior Board was; nevertheless, the group played an important role. “The Senior Board does things that otherwise would be left to teachers, parents, or individual students, if it got done at all,” stated Dave Linne, advisor. “Were you aware, for example, that the Board sends sympathy cards to the bereaved families of students?” Because of their obscurity, members sometimes felt overlooked. “I feel that people just expect us to do things like the all-night party and the graduation announcements,” said Senior Lori Oestreich. However, she and other members felt it to be a worthwhile experience. In the words of Kris Hanson, “It's a chance to do something for the whole class of ’83.” Left: Date Linne chuckles at the idea of alcohol at the all-night party. 23
