Eligible seniors earn candy in English I Many of Mr. Marvin Trent's and Mrs. Jo Ellen Cullison's Eng- lish IV students received recognition, for various reasons, in the form of Tootsie Pops and Cracker Jacks. Tootsie Tues- day was held on April 19 in Mr. Trent's classes, while Mrs. Cullison awarded Cracker Jacks twice - after research papers were completed and towards the end ofthe school year. This is a Tootsie Pop question, Mr. Trent occasionally pro- claims. Students, immediately alert, start their brain function- ing at full speed, and prepare to answer a question on almost any subject. Questions could deal with spelling, know- ing who the author of a book is, or on the Bible. For instance, one question was Quote in Hebrew, from the Bible, Matthew 27:46. By answering this question, senior Mike Delaney earned one of his 15 Tootsie Pops that set a school record. Each step of the pompous candlelit ceremony was explained in detail by Mr. Trent as it occurred. First of all, he lit the candles, which rested atop coffee cans, and put on his Super Trent cape. When students went to accept their award, they received their Tootsie Popfsj with their left hand, while shaking hands with Mr. Trent with their right hand. For the first time, certificates, designed and made by senior Jon Nettles, were presented. Though Mrs. Cullison's awards were not presented during a ceremony, the boxes of Cracker Jacks were received for vari- ous reasons. For instance, students who had Mrs. Cullison for both English Ill and IV, consistently had few grammatical errors, overcame many problems and turned in a good research paper, were honest when they had not studied for a test, or finally settled down in class received an award. A. Mrs. Jo Ellen Cullison, English teacher, presents the Cracker Jack Award to senior Isaac Jhingree for having few grammatical errors. B. Seniors Flandy Bryant and Melinda Bennett examine the certificate designed by senior Jon Nettles. C. Attired in his Super Trent cape, Mr. Marvin Trent, English lV teacher, presents senior Gilbert Thomson with his Tootsie Pops. D. Receiving his Tootsie Pop Certificate, senior Steve Jones listens as Mr. Trent points out the unique design. L vm Qs? A 'Sy 40119-ui. , J N 16 , PAGE 262 I SENIORS .. ,V ff-,..:

Seniors se ect Hyatt Regency Since seniors chose the Hyatt Regency Hotel for the site of the Senior Prom, the price of tickets could have been as high as S520 each. Money that the Sen- ior Play raised went toward the price of prom tick- ets, enabling each student to purchase a ticket for S8. Four hundred and twenty-seven students attended on April 2. Zazu Pitz, the band chosen by the five senior class officers, performed numerous selections. Included was Wasted Time, the senior song, dur- ing which the traditional ring turning ceremony took place. A. Watching couples having their pictures made, junior Vickie Baker and senior Robert Burt await their turn. B. Between dancing and eating, senior Keith Fowler and sophomore Cheryl Gardner find time to talk. C.
