This is not simply a yes or no question, but a thesis of the effects of high school on stu- dents. Accepting the reality of growing up and maturing, students often found themselves faced with common teenage mental hangups. When questioned one senior ad- mitted she thought psychological maturity came long after high school, but others disagreed. Many felt by the time they had become seniors they were fully mature for all the responsibilities they had to deal with. A few of the many psychological difficulties some seniors faced in- volved school, home, and societal pressures as well as not meeting the expectations of one's self and others. Friendships seemed to be what at- tracted people to school whether they were scholars or not. I think, remarked senior Maria Korienek, the reason friendships became so important are because we all need someone to share our experiences with, whether good or bad. Home crises affected almost ev- erybody. Divorces and deaths in the family caused a great strain on the mental stability of seniors. Many worried whether or not they had reached the cracking point. Stu- dents often considered seeing a psy- chiatrist or psychologist, but then gave -up the idea by telling them- selves they weren't crazy. However seniors found the expense of going for professional help to be more than they could afford. Seniors also looked for help when dealing with societal pressures of drugs, alcohol, and sexual promiscuity. Perhaps the most difficult prob- lem seniors faced was not meeting the expectations of themselves. The acceptance of reality is an important aspect of life, but for seniors soon to be out in the real world, it was an aspect that had to be met head on. SENIORS 239

Meeting with friends between grueling classes provides time for gossip, complaints, sharing romantic moments, and people-watch- ing. After five days of classes, juniors left school on Friday anxious for a weekend of fun. But what exactly is the definition of fun for a junior? Rose Hughes stated that to have fun she liked movies, skating, driving around, going to parties and spending a lot of time at the beach in the summer. Movie tickets, gas, and food prices climb every year. But the economic situation cannot stand in the way of fun. Most juniors would agree with Simonette Ogger- ino when she declared, Sometimes just being with your best friends is a lot more fun than money can buy. One place that teenagers do not have to pay admission for fun is school. Could juniors actually have fun doing readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic ? The answer is yes, they can. Linda Gruszka, an active student at Thornwood, has this attitude toward school, School is excellent! I love it! These are the best times of my life and school plays an important part in it. J im Persin has a different view toward school. He sees it as a time to be with friends. Says Jim, I have fun in school only because my friends are in most of my classes. The class of 1982 is no longer a group of underclass- men. Now having more responsibilities, drivers' li- censes, later curfews, and participating on varsity squads, juniors are having more fun than they had their two previous years at Thornwood. Mike Torres is certainly having more fun this year. Says Mike, I know so many more people now, and there are always people to go out with and get crazy with. Linda Gruszka de- clared, Being a junior has given me a little more aware- ness of what not to do. This year let me participate in some of the more important times and decisions in my high school years. JUNIORS 241
