School Is Full Of ... School was full of spirit and fun. The problem was students could not show it. One reason was they did not have pep ral- lies because the administration declared a need for more in- structional time. Another rea- son was the elimination of sen- ior — faculty games. This real- ly hurt the seniors because they did not have a chance to beat teachers and principals legally. Now, the school was not all that bad. Take, for instance, having to sit on the Bedford and 10th Street side of the halis. That was exciting! And school was fun, too. The sen- iors got to wait in line for fooeninnaecoomagentic mene ica lunch, even when they got out five minutes earlier than un- derclassmen so they would not have to stand in line.

And there was more involvement in clubs and after school activities such as band, J.A. and Hi-Y. Sure, school can sometimes be a bore but with all the winning games, wild parties, and crazy friends around, who could be bored too long?

The ever-popular Leggs Dia- mond!” A lot of hard work and sacri- fices were made in booking the band the juniors had chosen for prom after hearing them in a showcase in Roa- noke. 24 Prom mer brought in $150 and many juniors participated in a bake sale that contributed another $60 to the fund. However, the largest portion of the money came from the annual maga- zine sale. The juniors were able to raise approximately $1425. Their profit exceeded those of previous years. They had to have enough money to afford the decorations and the popu- lar local band, Leggs Dia- mond.

The pastel colors purple, pink, lavender, and silver accented the scenic background. A bandstand was set up to accomodate the band as they kept everyone dancing to the beat of the top forty hits. “I knew we only had one chance to sponsor a successful Prom so everyone decided to make this one the best ever,’ commented Dawn Brooks. Even the most sophisticated social won't keep Beverly Hutcherson, Doug Mitchell, Wayne Chism, April Better- ton, Carey Gibson, and Carolyn Book- er away.
