THE BALANCE OF THE WIGHT IS YOUNG and Callaway students get ready to get down. STIRRING SOUNDS of Hugh Mac and the Magnolia Star get Chargers up on their feet. The spring of ' 76 left Callaway really wound up and ready. In May students elected officers. Cynthia Good- loe won the office of Student Body President, and Walt Dallas took office as the Vice Pres- ident. Dierdre Sams filled the position of Secretary-Treasurer. In addition, class officers were chosen to represent the senior and junior classes. For everyone ' s en- tertainment, Callaway students presented Comedy Tonight, three one-act plays: Archie and Mehitable, The City Slicker and Our Nell ' and Alice in Wonderland. Young talent bloomed again in Garry Walker and Chris Brunt ' s all student pro- duction of The Wizard of Oz. The performances staged prime examples of hard work and talent. On Friday, May 14, the Junior Class of 1976 hosted the Callaway Junior-Senior Prom. The event took place in Delta Hall at the Holiday Inn Downtown.

THE GRAND FINALE (1) Class day - the day of Friday, May 21, 1975; a day of honor and surprises, and delights for our seniors; a well-earned day of merit; the traditional breakfast at LeFleur ' s includ- ing many Ha, Ha ' s during the reading of the prophecy; a day of rewards. (2) Class day - a happy and sad day for the seniors of ' 76; happy because after twelve struggling years a goal had been reached; sad because a phase of life had ended. More activities fol- lowed after this special day. The seniors had to endure both pre-graduation practices at 7:30 A.M. and gown fitting to qualify for diplomas. At 3:30 P.M., 383 seniors gathered at the Coliseum for the last time. Jennifer Russell spoke on behalf of the graduates, and Ms. Strain kept everyone in line. As the seniors filed out, twelve years of fun and achievement came to a close. CONGRATULATIONS! Cindy Hutto smiles brightly as she re- ceives a cheerleading award. MAY I HAVE THE ENVELOPE PLEASE?
