College and career plans that had been avoided had to be made no matter whether it was at- tending a university, finding a stable job, or joining the army. Although seniors realized that new lifestyles would drastically contrast with their present ones, they still felt a need for independence. I just want to get out on my own, one senior stated. I The everyday life each senior faced did not always prepare him for the real world he would soon encoun- ter. Nevertheless, world and national affairs suddenly began to intrude, adding new facets that would influ- ence future goals. Facing those problems helped seniors realize the decisions they had to face. They began to be aware that change would not be easy. Some stalled be- cause they felt that one decision would make or break the rest of their lives, but one faculty member com- mented, Too often students aren't aware that they need to realize that any decision will lead them out of themselves into the world. That's what's important! Right: Working on a set of teeth, Mariza Santiano prepares for her future. 210 SENIORS

Environment affects Thornwood students With the anticipation of the class-ending bell, students sit anxiously on the edge of their seats. Soon the sound of the crowd-pleaser echoes through the corridors and stu- dents funnel hastily into the halls creating an unbearable condition of wall-to-wall students. Pushing and shoving created a very unfavorable condition for the students. I feel that the halls are crowded during passing periods, and at times it presents problems when I try to get from one end of the building to another, Roy Kemp acknowledged. Last year, the six-minute passing periods relieved many of the hassels that exist during the five-minute periods. This problem could easily be resolved if students did not stand in the middle of the halls to socialize, a disgruntled student declared. This is just one of the many problems a student faces in Thornwood's vast environment. Environment contains the forces and conditions that surround and influence us everyday of our lives. With Thornwood's extensive population and tremendous build- ing size, students must cope with many unexpected prob- lems - one of which is the varying temperatures in the classrooms. On the frigid days of winter, students expect to walk into a warm and comfortable school. But this was not always the case. Students often found themselves walking into chilly classrooms and shivering throughout the class period. Another problem in Thornwood's envi- ronment was conveyed by Richard Foster. I do not agree with the combining of classes to create one large class. This presents problems to both the teacher and students as well as hindering motivated students who want to learn more. One senior student best summed it up by saying, You cannot run away from the problems, so you might as well learn to cope with them. wk Q ... 35 p Above: Students find passing periods a monotonous part of their daily routine. In the five minutes they are given, they rush to their next classes. ELAINE BARNES MANUEL BARRAGAN M.l.G.
