Donna Whitten Editor This year was, everything considered, a fairly good one. We had waited a long time to reach our senior year. I re- member when I was in kinder- garten high school seemed unreachable. Even as I moved up through the lower grades high school still seemed an unattainable goal. After graduating from eighth grade, I suddenly realized that I was going to be a freshman. Mak- ing the change from eighth grade to freshman was both exciting and irritating; from the top of the stack to the bottom of the heap was de- meaning. As a freshman the senior year seemded closer but it was still SO far away. And then, before I knew it, I just woke up one morning and I was a senior. Being a senior is really no different than be- ing a junior. I had a lot of troubles on my climb to the top but now that I have made it I realize I am not at the top, I am just starting on another uphill climb in life. As our senior class goes out to tackle life I hope when the times are hard and life is rough, we can look back through our memories and find some happiness and laughter in those memories. We have been through good times and bad times. Our class was not always together away from school but, if it concerned our class or any- one in our class, the Class of 1984 stuck together. We went through the good and bad; the happy and sad; the joyous and the frustrating occasions; and we did it together! h-REFLECTIONi Reflections of a ... SENIOR EDITOR 6 Seniors
