154 sENioRs PRISING is 'J -iz? if. 'i-ig' DOWNFALL ince the opening of Torrey Pines, seniors have always participated in the Senior Assembly and 'iditch day . Every year, the seniors pick up their caps and gowns and gather in the gym to form the number of their graduating year. Then the majority ofthe graduating class takes off for the beach or wherever for the remainder of the day. Every year, that is. until this year. The administration gave us little to work with, said senior ASB officer Annette Hecht. We couldn't have the Senior Assembly during school hours and we couldn't use the gym, said Hecht. For the first time there would be no Senior Assembly. Mostly because the administration felt that it had become too much of a ditch day in the past. Many seniors opposed not having the traditional Senior Assembly. We worked with what we had, said Hecht. Thus in place ofthe assembly, the Senior Uprising was created. After school, on October 13. the senior class met for pizza. reggae music played by Generation, a raffle, and their class picture. The picture was, however, not taken in the traditional '86 fomwation. instead it was formed in the Roman numeral style. DCXXVI. IT WAS A MESS... Elaine Waldman said, people were standing on people's shoulders. so anyone behind them could not be seen. lt was a mess. l wanted the regular '86, the more basic the better, said Hecht. The spirit was high, said Josh Rose. I liked everything but the picture, because there wasn't enough time to get organized, said Christine Blanchard. Despite the unpopular picture, most of the other activities during the Senior Uprising ran smoothly. ,V Q . 50 ky' I '. A. A 5 ' i . N, A iam. pr i. . .:...- 'T 5 Nz -i i .:.' 'f H U . 1 ' VXA
