Our Senior Year was characterized by discoveries about life.
This year was so formative it will be reviewed by month, September to
graduation.
Nearly twenty of us met in Mrs. Bennett’s Kindergarten. We
have navigated the waters twelve years and now the grand finale, our Senior Year.
We are the top brick on the pyramid, the beings to be worshiped by
underclassmen.
For most this was the most pivotal year of our young lives.
We have just nine months, September to graduation on June 11, to decide how we
channel our first year as an adult.
For the girls, motherhood, careers and higher education got
the nod. The boys were faced with Uncle Sam pointing a finger and saying,
“Uncle Sam Wants You.” About one third of the men in our class were in the
military within a year of graduation. Another third pursued higher education
and most of the others developed careers.
Being a Senior is something to which words cannot do
justice—one must live it. And live it we did! Five decades will surrender their
memories at our June 27th event. It will be a time to share the road traveled.
