Seniors + Elbow Grease = S With determination on their faces, and armed with hoses and sponges, the seniors took on the task of increasing the money in their treasury. Even though it was hardly a day for washing cars, the class of '82 acquired $184 and a few cases of the sniffles. Many seniors came out and supported the class despite the chilly weather and an expected downpour. The usual water fights took place but the event turned out to be fun — and profitable — for all involved. GET YOUR CAR WASHED!

Down by the Old Scheel yard Seniors- take a stroll down memory lane, and you'll find yourself either embarrassed or laughing hyster- ically about some of the things we did when we were freshmen. That first day of high school there were so many things new to us. Those bewildered faces when a voice came over the intercom and recited The Pledge of Allegiance ' the anticipation of our first pep rally (which was totally unfamiliar to us), the awkwardness we felt at our first high school dance, all were a part of freshman year. Several things have changed in the past four years; administrators and teachers have come and gone, fads have focused and faded, and we've all grown up-at least a little bit. We've come a long way from the scared freshmen we once were. Morning announcements are something to tune out, pep rallies are ordinary and uneventful, and we take over the dance floor at every dance. Though our high school years have brought us both sad and happy memories, they are just another step on the ladder of success. tOP Bodybuilding may bring pleasurable results, but. like everything worthwhile, it does take an effort, os shown in Frank Pasquale's face.

Looking for answers to a multitude of questions, confused and inquisi- tive juniors and seniors bounded off for the College Fair on October 15. The trip in itself was quite an experience. Two buses, loaded with students romping, singing and danc- ing, rocketed off for a scenic trip to Wayne Valley High School. Upon arriving, the seriousness of the event overtook all the gaiety. A barrage of questions was asked by the students of each college repre- sentative. The students asked about life on campus, competition, athletics, and procedures for financial assist- ance. Without a doubt, it can be accurately stated that a good majority of students have been well prepared for these future decisions by attending such an informative and valuable event. College Fair 13
