f. End Cf The Tradition. Symbolic Ceremony Paces Bleak Future For Seniors. The ring cerenomy as we have known it will not be scheduled this year, said Mrs. Marilyn Hendrix, principal. Due to the lack of partici- pation in the ceremony, the event was canceled. The faculty thought the students were not interested in their high school rings. Many seniors said they bought their rings from local jewel- ers. It took less time for the jewelers to deliver the rings and there was a Eric Mercer Michael Joe Miles: Pops Choir 2.

Unfortunately, stu- dents learned first hand against arch rival Hillcrest. The role changed when Hillcrest had the winless season and Mauldin had the winning season and Mauldin had the winning record. Just as fate had dealt its fatal card against Hill- crest last year, the very same fate met Mauldin. The loss to Hillcrest was really disappointing because we not only let ourselves down, we also let down the parents, students and faculty. The football team appreciated the spirit, and I for one am sorry that we didnlt come out on top even though everyone knows that we were better than Hillcrest, said Glenn Spencer about the loss. The seniors found other disap- pointments throughout the year, but the Hillcrest game was the one that was remembered. Greg Wyatt 6 1 5-,J Paula Michelle Lawrence: SID 2.
