Seniors honored at final game Senior Day is a memorable and somewhat sad occasion. Every student dreams of the day he will be a senior. When the day finally comes we realize how fast the years have gone by. Remember how old the seniors seemed when we were in seventh grade? As seniors, we don't feel quite so big. Groups recognized on senior day included football players, cheerleaders, honor guard, silks, rifle team, majorettes, band members, and pomettes. The football mothers, band mothers, and boosters club made arrangements for programs and corsages. These groups helped make the 1976-77 Senior Day program a very successful and memorable occasion. 13
