Although senior year had many fun times, like basketball games and Sno-Daze, there were also a lot of pressures that went with it. Throughout the year, students tried to decide what they wanted to do after graduation. Many seniors planned to go to college, but applying and waiting to hear from them was a very nerve-racking experience. Answering questions like name and address were the easy ones. It was the one that asked for a brief essay describing yourself that really got people stumped. Mark Schulman voiced his reaction, Everytime I tried to write my essay, I would get aggravated and put it away.

It would be one thing if everyone had definite plans, but very few knew of their future. Rachel Sasson was one of the frustrated students, For awhile, I swore that the next person who asked me what my plans were would be taken out and shot. If one wanted to help the seniors forget about their worries a good way was to decline mentioning anything that had to do with colleges. Seniors: 27 ♦•Shelly Edmondson Bar bora Eide Ruth Ekert
