Day 1

The last day of March may be the slowest of the year... Missouri has not escaped winter's grasp and summer seems (and is) miles away. The students of Liberty will be forced to drudge through nearly five weeks of school without breaks; that is if you're not a senior. I think senior-itis comes early here. Juniors waiting for their cap and gowns slowly go crazy. It doesn't help that they must complete the final year of MAP testing.
After dipping their toes in the pool of standardized testing, LHS juniors are biting at the chance to partake in a four/five hour essay test while seniors sleep in or go to Perkins for breakfast. I may not be able to pose as a senior for a pancake breakfast this week, but I am still holding out hope no one will notice if I join the long line of seniors crossing the stage in May. The only thing holding me back is my diploma. Maybe a good calligrapher can help me out?
