BACK: Dale, Joe, Dan, Leo, John, Pat. Paul FRONT: Bob, Katie, Michelle, Kathy, Ray The exhilarating feeling of being an upperclassman truly comes in the junior year. The excitement of initiation, of being a threatening force over the freshmen while laughing in good spirit is a memorable event. This excitement doesn't cool, because the ring ceremony and plans for the Junior Prom follow in rapid succession. When the night of gowns, tuxes, and dancing finally arrives, troubles are forgotten and all the hours of preparation seem well worth it. Academically, the junior year brings a host of new classes such as Microbiology and Chemistry, open to all who are willing to put forth the effort. Another test of confidence and achievement comes in the form of the PSAT. This gives some the opportunity to vie for a National Merit Scholarship. The junior year is the year to look towards the future and anticipate our continued growth. 24
