Now being allowed to take part in highschool functions, a tenth grader has to learn to be more self-reliant. It means breaking away from junior high attitudes and stepping up to more responsibilities. This maturity may be a burden, but it is also a sign of discovering individuality. Halfway between orientation and graduation is the junior. Not the youngest anymore, but not the oldest, a junior can look wistfully backward or expectantly ahead. He is much more sure of himself than before, continuing to build and shape his identity which had its foundation in his earlier years at Groves.

oniors Anticipate Pursuit oflndioidual Goals With the big year having finally come, a senior may find that he doesn't feel very different within, but things around him seem to be changing. He knows most of the ins and outs of school life and can be more relaxed with teachers and other students. He has been at Groves longer than the underclassmen, and he is older and more mature. Being a senior means many things. His individuality has had some of the finishing touches put on it. Teachers, parenfts, and classmates take more notice of the way he thinks and acts. A senior has more people relying on him, and finds himself relying less on others. Planning for after graduation weighs heavily on a senior's mind. Each will go his individual way to find success, but it will take some longer than others. To know what he wants to do may give a student a start in pursuing his goal, but he must realize that there are many paths to explore in the future.
