f The month of May sprang upon Sandites before most of the students were prepared for it. As the end grew near, the days went by faster and faster. Prom parties, enrollment hysteria, and the excitement of graduation provided a certain gleam in every eye. It's funny, seems like I've been waiting to get out of school ever since I was a kid, but now I find myself wishing for time to stand still for a while, expressed senior Terrie Wheeler. Juniors received their rings, sophomores their driver's licenses and seniors proudly grasped their diplomas. Although students longed for summer vacation, they seemed to wish to prolong the happy times which accompanied the school year's end. As I looked around the school those last few days, I began to realize that many people I might never see again. New faces will take our places, hopefully we'll be remembered, stated '79 graduate Cheri Craddock. Sandites captured their memories in the signing of yearbooks which rapidly were filled with pleasant thoughts of high school fun. Teachers found it hard to establish the strictest discipline because the spring spirit was felt by everyone. It was sometimes hard to keep students to the books when I felt the same restless spirit they felt, expressed Mr. Wayne McDowell. The cheerful attitude of the students brought the May season to a full bloom of excitement. With the mixture of happiness, enthusiasm, and finally tears, the Sandite year of 1978-79 clearly went out with a bang. Sham aa of

Students Make Up Classical Excuses Students often invented many reasons why they couldn't seem to make it to class on time or get their homework done. Of course there are the basic excuses, for instance, , flat tires, out of gas, car trouble, and the dreaded six- hour flu. But afew students tried to be a little more original with their excuses. Once I had a student say that he couldn't make it to my class because he couldn't get his halloween make- up off, stated Ms. Nina Muehlberg. And another time a few boys arrived late and said that there was a 'possum in their truck and they couldn't get it out. On the due day of a major assignment a student went into the fantastic story about how his mother had used his homework for the bottom layer' of the -kitty litter box, chuckled Mrs. Sheree Scott. And one more original excuse that I was expected to believe from another student on the same major assignment was, he had been working diligently on his assignment on one of his father's used cars, which was for sale. When he went to eat he left the homework in the car and his father sold it. So now his homework was in Arkansas along with the car. One of my student's poor grandmother has had every fatal disease in the book and she has also died a grand total of four times, commented Mr. Mikel Dunn. Even though students try to out-wit their teachers with excuses such as these, it is not guaranteed that they will work every time, concluded Mr. Rodney Bridges, attendance director. SCROUNCE - This Sandite chose to pick up campus PASSING TIME - One student chose detention as her punishment. , trash for lwenty millutes as her Punishment from the choice of four for having an unexcused tardy or absence.
