Al- most everyone has heard this phrase at one time or another in his life, but most do not worry about the answer until they are older. Thornwood's seniors found that in their last year of high school, they must seriously consider some answers and alternatives to this question. The opportunities available to the seniors abounded. On the whole, most seniors chose to continue their edu- cation. Although attending junior colleges and trade schools occupied the thoughts of some seniors, the ma- jority enrolled in either small colleges or universities. Bob Rudman stated, I am looking forward to attending a school of Loyola's caliber. I plan on majoring in pre- dentistry and pursuing a career as a dentist. Continuing their education was not the sole priority for some seniors. A select group of graduates decided upon pursuing a career directly out of high school. For these people the phrase welcome to the real world was a quick introduction into life, even though students readily accepted this option, instead of another two to four years of schooling. The working world consisted not only of career jobs but also full time commitments such as marriage and service in the armed forces. These jobs required re- sponsibility and dedication. Graduation is a beginning and Thornwood's class of 1981 had much to look for- ward to after graduation night. As one senior girl real- ized, There's so much to think about. You never know what's going to happen and you have to be ready to encounter anything.

Class is a candlelight dinner with a beautiful girl and a bottle of Don Perignon '62, defined senior George Vezmar. Surprisingly, guys as well as girls share this type of romantic version of class. Students felt that watching a sunset or having dinner in an expensive restaurant with a date would make any evening classy. The more money conscious students saw a black Porsche or grey Mercedes as the ultimate expression of class. Calvin Klein jeans, Sasson dresses, or Bass shoes symbolized a chic dresser to others. Although a person may look classy it doesn't neces- sarily mean that they have class, commented senior Barb Smykowski. It takes depth in personality and the knowledge of how to relate to people for a person to have class. Class is always associated with the ultimate some- thing so far above average that it seems almost intangi- ble. The extravagant and luxurious symbolizes class. As senior Spud Williams put it, Being rich, famous, or powerful is all a person has to be to have class in the modern world. Right: Class may be the fancy car and designer clothes Mike Wolner- man displays. 226 SENIORS
