Senior Week: Rank has privileges. Enjoying the special privilege of wearing chosen apparel, one Senior strolls the halls of Whitley in borrowed square dance costume. Senior Week, a time for fun and jest, was sponsored by the Student Council. Throughout the week senior tyrants directed freshman slaves who were purchased at a public auction in the gym.
