Description:	The Tassle Is Worth The Hasslew<ell seniors, havethe past twelve years spentearning your tassle reallybeen worth the hassle?Lets look back and recallall the memories of thesetwelve glorious years.Remember back tokindergarten? Buildingblocks, nap times, snacktimes, and singing HappyBirthday twenty-eight timesa year!Then it was on to gradeschool. Learning thealphabet and reading aboutDick and Jane was a hasslethen. Show and tell andrecess time were thehighlights of each day.Middle school was achanging point for mostboys and girls. This was thetime when we broke up intoour little cliques—jocks,band people, preppies, andgrits who hung out behindthe school. We were alsosubjected to a new type ofdiscipline — detentions. Theboys began to set asidetheir games of kickball andbegan to pick up girls. Thenit was on to the buildingfeared by all, BloomingtonNorth!As a freshman, youwandered through whatseemed like hundreds ofwinding halls. You werecareful not to bother theupperclassmen, and thehomework kept piling up.As a sophomore, you feltmore comfortable. Writingnotes to your friends inclass sometimes became abad habit. Boys and girlsstarted going steady andhearts were broken quiteoften. Teachers startedcracking down.As a junior, you feltsecond best. Seniors werethe best of course! Youenvied the seniors but yousurvived. Schoolworkstarted to become veryimportant to you. PSATswere the most dreadedthings of the year!As a senior you were ontop and you set an examplefor all of the underclassmen.This year you thoughtwould be filled with fun andexcitement but you soonfound out differently.Colleges, future jobs, andgrades came first on yourlist. For some reason thisyear, you really maturedand began to appreciate thebetter things in life. Yourinterest and support insports had increased.School spirit and leadershipwas your role. The promwas your dance. Sayinggood-bye to all of yourfriends at the end of theyear was hard and sad, butyou knew you must moveon to bigger and betterthings.These twelve years ofmemories youll alwayscherish and remember. Itmay have been a hassle attimes but it sure was worththat tassle!13
