TtfkwtaC State By the time the senior year rolled around, one excuse was given to parents, teachers, and the seniors themselves — that senioritis had set in. It was senioritis’ fault that the English homework has not been done for Mrs. Bottorf. It was senioritis’ fault that found the seniors absent for the day and in SCD. It was blamed on senioritis if, “I didn’t get home in time on Friday night.” What a perfect alibi the seniors had until graduation came along and then this mental state faded. As it faded, reality replaced senioritis and new graduates faced the world. A Senioritis stricken room can always be spotted — No one is ever in their seats. Paulette Dumas. John Ep- person. and Thom Foca have totally forgotten the meaning of seats. Yolanda A. Alison K. Shannon M JeffS. Lynn R. Brown Brownrigg Brubaker Buckler Bullard P. Brady — L. Bullard 90 Seniors

Cunningham 1 1 The scene opens with a dark and stormy night from the Fall of the House of Usher. It was the first presentation of three short Edgar Allen Poe plays by the Senior dramatists. After many, many long evenings of practicing the play and building the set, the 15 member cast and crew were well prepared for their debut as CHS stars. The presentation of the short plays, The Fall of the House of Usher, Purloined Letter and Tell Tale Heart went until THE FINAL PERFORMANCE. As tradition went, the final perfor- mance was filled with many pranks and jokes. With large black spiders, whoppee cushions, disappearing letters, happy noises. Peppermint Extract and Master Zoka’s, Heath Haukland, superb acting ... a ten minute death act, the plays were filled with extra laughter. The cast and crew had a fun-filled finale, leaving the empty stage echoing with laughter — waiting for the next curtain call. Jess Stark (David Barth), the peddler. Anally breaks down after he committed a murder, with his wife Lorna's (Kim O'Connor) company. 92 Seniors
