We love every MINUTE of it Basically, the only suprising aspect of being a senior is just how tiring it can be. The previous three years here, I constantly heard the seniors of that year discuss nothing but their social activities that were planned for the future. Therefore, I assumed that my senior year would be the most relaxing of my high school career. I was wrong! The average senior has numerous preasures he must face every day. The most consuming of which is college. The immense task of deciding which college to apply to. The filling out and completing the application (the worst part of the ' College Process ), flow to finance college. The tests that must be taken for college. Which college to attend if accepted to more than one. And, finally, getting over the fear of going to college. In addition to all of this, a senior must keep his grades up (despite Senioritis), the monetary pressure of financing some form of transportation, and, most important, the foreboding realization of becoming an adult and the responsibilities that accompany that fact. Add in an extra-curricular activity, a job and the duties at home, and being a senior is both demanding and exhausting. But, I love every minute of it!!! — Sean McQuire D D Surviving 185 days of school Trying to keep new administrators names straight Saving work money for college Talking about the coming week-end Remembering to pay for the Limo Knowing this Homecoming is our last at Warren Participating in dress- up days Passing Government and Economics 40-Seniors

I In V- V— v j; A A ADULT W W JL JL J. ne of the problems seniors face are the mental burdons due to the process of becoming an adult. Most of the students of age seventeen or eighteen start to feel their responsibilities toward the family, society, and themselves. They recognize the change in attitude from the outside, rio one treats them as they did a year before nor hastles them for a slight offence. Thus, the senior is often times perplexed buy this abrupt change. In addition, they anticipate anxiously how they have to cope with the real life , which is often described as ' combat or ' survival of the fittest . The ones who feel themselves inferior to others in competition know that their life will be as strenuous and burden stricken. In fact, there is no tangible solution to this problem, however, the one thing the seniors can do is learn more spirit through confidence. The positive motivation can only be a cure for their ' black future . — Austin Kim Johnny Miller blinks as our cam- era caught him reading his text- book during his English class. n D D D D D D Passing Government and Economics Participating in dress- up days Knowing this Homecoming is our last at Warren Putting off homework until the night before its due Having our picture in the yearbook more than once.
