 REFLECTION Seniors ... L Debbie Swiger was the yearbook photographer tor one semester. She took advanced photography classes and is considering a career in pho- tography. “Being a senior means that you have a lot of responsibilities. It’s a time when you finally have to decide what you’re going to do with the rest of your life. It is also a time when you finally have the opportunity to figure out what you are going to do with your life. It's time to grow up and take re- sponsibility. People look up to you for leadership and advice. Even though it’s time to say good-bye to some of your old friends, it’s also an opportunity to develop new friendships. Your senior year can really be great, but it’s up to youto make it what it is.” Debbie Swiger Jim Brown, head football coach, teases one of his cheerleaders, Jo- leen Ricks trow. Being a senior has many meanings for me. One of the meanings is knowing that this is my last year of high school. It is very exciting knowing that after this year I will not have to come back; but it is also sad becasue I have enjoyed school. Another meaning is that of the pressure of responsibility. I feel a lot of pressure this year to keep up my grades and do well, while at the same time, enjoy myself. I feel that a senior must also be responsible because other stu- dents look to you as their exam- ple. Being a senior can be a special time, if you make it so. You have worked for twelve years to get here. Your senior year is the tran- sition from a special kind of life that will never come again to a new and different life that offers many fulfilling promises. Carrie Martin.
