Fred Kay will graduate with the Class uf 1%2 as a result of his work on the Home Study Program. Others go to the Tidal Basin to enjoy cherry blos- soms, hut our students spend their lunch periods under the tree- on our campus. Anticipating Summer With clearance sheets in hand and thoughts of summer’s activities in mind, we forgot senior slump, the long, un- broken stretch of days from semester break to Easter vaca- tion, the “one night stands” to prepare term papers for fol- ... a welcome break lowing day classes. We remembered only the good things— the SGA carnival, the Arts’ Fair, “Annie Get Your Gun,” the Junior-Senior Prom, and, of course, the Senior Prom. It had been a memorable and a profitable year. Crowning twelve years of study, graduation is the moment of realization. 21

Fines, Fees, Stray Pens.. . mrs. hatfi'eld collects all Prior to opening the bank a student cashier checks out the cash with Mrs. Hatfield. Picking up the cash box before opening the school store is one of the first chores of Mrs. Hatfield's banking day. Typical of the many transactions of the bank is collecting a towel fee from Jim Tumagc. End-of-the-year procedures seemed to center around the school hank. In the mornings there were trips to the hank to round up lost articles which might he needed during the day or in the course of the summer. Stray tennis shoes, sweatshirts, sweaters, or wallets—we made our inquires of Mrs. Hatfield and hoped she could produce our things from the vast collection she had stored beneath the counter. These were not the only requests we made of her. At lunchtime, hurried and insistent, we deposited money for hook fines, clearance, and senior fees. We mumbled our names and then dashed off to our fourth period classes leav- ing her to create order from chaos. After school there were the endless demands for tickets, receipts, and information. Through all this Mrs. Hatfield gave us accurate, efficient, and much appreciated service. Entering checks written on the school bank is important in main- taining accurate balances. Coffee breaks arc few and far between for Mrs. Hatfield.
