Senior Class Officers This past year senior class officers Terry Mayfield, Claire Borne, and Patty Pascavage have kept very busy with various plans and preparations for the senior class. Because the Senior Class has been fundraising for the senior prom through out high school, Patty Pascavage. sec retary treasurer for the senior class reported that the seniors had about $4000 in their account after the comple- tion of their magazine subscription sales This, said Patty, is much more than previous senior classes have had. Claire Borne, senior class vice- president, helped Mr. Proctor, senior class sponsor, with much of the work in volved in the magazine subscription sales which was the seniors ' biggest fundrais- ing project. The senior play also con- tributed to the seniors ' savings. Some of the duties that the officers faced in preparation for the senior prom were interviewing deejays and photo- graphers, finding caterers, and making reservations at the Hobby Hilton Hotel where the prom was scheduled. I never knew that prom would be so expensive, said senior class president Terry Mayfield. Throughout the summer and school year, the officers met with Mr. Proctor and school principals to discuss the many aspects that would be involved in prep- aration for prom We had to decide on things like how much country, rock, and soul music to play and things like that, said Patty. Although all the decisions had to be approved by the principals, we pretty much had control in making these decisions. said Terry. The officers also played a big part in the preparation of the graduation ceremonies. They s elected the cover design for the program and also prepared speeches to be said at Commencement Everything we did this year was a lot of work but it was a lot of fun, too. said Patty. Even though each officer had a ti- tle, none outranked the other. Explained Claire. We all worked together. Seniors 145
