Every senior class has had a distinct personality. 1977's was a large, noisy family; 19761 s was capa- ble and efficient. Most of this year's seniors were levelheaded and mature — not quite the type to be driven to suicide by a bas- ketball loss. A few were very in- volved in school affairs; they were present at every game, rally, meeting, donut sale, cake raffle and car wash. Many others felt that their jobs and out-of- school social lives were more important. They sometimes spent as little as three hours a day in school and, as one senior half-seriously said, This world ain't nothing without money; and you can't make money playing basket- ball.' At first this con- flict of interests caused some hard feelings, but in time they disappeared. Because of snort school days, jobs, and a general- ly mature outlook, most of tne seniors were ready and even impatient to face the outside world. However, no matter how we 11-pre- pared for graduation the class of '78 professed to be, they were still a lit- tle sad at leaving. As Danny McGuire put it You can't just forget twelve years of being together. The class of '78 always had a bad reputation. But 12 in the 8th grade they reached an all time low (or high, depending on one's point of view). They liter- ally ran over a teacner on the way to gym, arranged for a trash can to fall on the principal's head, and were skilled in crawling out of study hall unnoticed by the teacher. But by Senior year they were more interested in graduation than in adding to their tarnished record.
