. The place where we grew from shy freshmen to graduating seniors . . ” Debby Manly and Debbie Swiger were caught by the photographer as they paused to chat outside ot the home ec. room. During their last year, seniors always find time for a friendly conversation with a friend. This building will be long remembered by the Sen- iors. This was the place where we spent most of our daytime hours during the school year. We came here as shy, nervous freshmen and worked our way up to where we now are. We have many happy and sad memories that were made in the halls of WHS. 16 Seniors

Final Year Brings Responsibility i Being a senior means various things to different people. A couple 1984 seniors agreed to share their feelings with us. One’s senior year is special as can be seen from these thoughts. “Being a senior means a lot of responsibility. People are always looking to you for advice, leadership, and as examples. This is the time when opportunities come to start finding one's place in the world. As seniors we have traveled along the same trail, but the time now comes to go our separate ways. Each one of us will follow a different trail and some will find happiness and others sorrow. A person's senior year holds its own special moments; throughout our life these memories will be cherished. Joleen Rickstrew Being a senior means lots of things, but one thing that stands out in my mind is responsibility. Seniors are expected to be mature and show initiative. As a freshman you care about good times and grades, but a senior is finally on the edge of adult life and worries about what to do with the rest of his or her life. There are so many paths for each one of us to follow; each filled with uncertainty and, hopefully, happiness. Once we go into the world we will all probably lose something whether it’s our hearts, money, or mind. But there is one thing that we can always keep, our memories.” Fawne Rankin David Rial acted as student advi- sor for the high school band this year.
