Seniors Leave Life At BA Behind; Underclassmen With the money earned from fruit cakes, stationery and the Senior Play the class traveled to Atlanta, Georgia and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. While in Atlanta, the group visited the Atlanta Sta- dium, Peachtree Street and Peachtree Center, the Cyclorama in Grant Park, Un- derground Atlanta, and Six Flags Over Georgia. Everyone enjoyed the sun and the beach or pool while in Myrtle Beach. Upon returning from their trip the Se- niors spent their last days at BA together. Class night, baccalaureate, and com- mencement brought back memories of the past school life. The seniors as- sembled in the gym together for the last time on June 4 to receive their diplomas. Junior Marshals Jennifer Jones, Cathy Frazier, Becky Smith, Virginia Walker, Howard Jones, and Angela Clary, led them in. During the ceremony quite a few awards were made.

Students Draw Closer Together In Varied Activities Many exciting events occurred after the 1975 VIKING went to press. VIKING 1976 begins its coverage with these events. April brought with it many exciting opportunities for the students at BA to unite and express themselves. One of the highlights was the election of the student council officers. The students nominated two candidates and the faculty nomi- nated two. After a couple of weeks of campaigning, the candidates addressed the student body in assembly. The fol- lowing morning in homeroom the stu- dents cast their votes. Mike Wright, a rising senior, was elected president and Martha Robinson became vice-president. Pat Norwood, Carroll Moseley, and Mar- shall Harris were elected secretary, trea- surer, and reporter, respectively. For the juniors and seniors, the most exciting event of the month was the Ju- nior-Senior Prom. The Junior Class chose the romantic theme “City of Love”. Af- ter a long week of preparation, the night arrived with music provided by “Jasper.” The gym was beautifully decorated with gardens, outdoor cafes, stars, an eiffel tower, and street lamps. Under the direction of Mr. Don Mar- tin, with the help of Mrs. Ola Jones and Mrs. Betsy Clarke, the Senior Class put on a fantastic play, “Rest Assured.” The roles were so well fitted to the partici- pants that the play seemed to be real life. The intermission entertainment was pro- vided by Elvis (Kevin Blackwell), his backup singers (Melissa Link and Angela Hall), and Bowman Body (Michael Wil- liams). The evening was also a financial success for the class, with proceeds going toward the senior trip. o 5 = I— ‘ • 3 CTQ GO ■-t I— - • 3 OQ Left: Juniors labored and laughed to- gether for a full week before the Prom to create a romantic fantasy, which they would always remember.
